Amazing experience! Mike was quick and kind. Did amazing artwork and brought my vision to life. I LOVE my tattoo. Ill definitely be going back for all my other tattoos.

I got my first tattoo about a week ago. This place is nice on the inside and very clean. My artist Eric was very professional. He was a really cool chill person. He made me feel more comfortable throughout the whole process all while we listened to some good music. He did exactly what I wanted and the tattoo came out amazing. I would definitely get another one there.

I just got my septum nose done yesterday and I’m very happy with the results. I didn’t have to make an appointment at all since they were taking walk-ins and the waiting time was very small, and the process of getting the piercing done was fast as well. The staff was very nice and gave me proper instructions for aftercare. It was overall a very nice experience.

I had a wonderful experience at their Friday the 13th event and I received a brand new tattoo and it looks so amazing. My husband got the same tattoo as I did and we love them so much. Thanks so much to our artist Eric.

Shop is in a terrific area and easily accessible. Very clean and inviting. Max and the entire staff are professional, friendly and take the time to communicate the process and answer any questions. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to get a tattoo or piercing.

This place is great. I’ve gone here for the majority of my piercings, which are done in a timely manner and the place is very organized! They give you instructions on how to care for your piercing(s) as well. :] The earrings here have personally never given me a problem during the healing process. In the front part of the shop, they display the jewelry and sell the solution you can use to clean the piercing. Definitely recommend coming here!!

Fantastic shop. Eric does quick and efficient work. Highly recommended. I would give a Galaxy worth of stars of I could.

I am typically terrified of everything to do with piercings, however Julissa was very patient, gentle, and understanding. I did not even feel anything when she was changing my piercing. I highly recommend going here if you want a new piercing or getting an earring change.

If I could give this place no stars, I would. My husband set an appointment for a piece and the receptionist set a specific date and time. My husband revolved his entire work week around this session and when arrived he was told by Maximilian (artist) sorry who ever set the appointment said you were getting something really small and i only have you down for 1hr tops. After my husband debated the miscommunication and explained he was pretty clear to the receptionist on what he wanted, the artist said, he could squeeze him in 3-4 weeks out. Complete waste of time! May we add, the morning receptionist is completely unprofessional. Much better and more professionals out there, do yourself the favor and find a organized studio whos well communicated.

Mike was my artist. When I thought about getting this tattoo I was unsure about about placement and the design. I worked with Mike sending him designs and getting his input. We settled on a design and he went to work. Extremely personable and knows what he’s doings. Large or small he dedicated to his work and will make YOUR piece perfect! Thank you Mike!

Max was extremely professional and knowledgeable plus he had a wonderful attitude. The atmosphere was extremely comfortable and he made sure I was comfortable with everything throughout the two cartilage piercings I got. They were exactly the way I wanted to. Got my conch and top helix done

I really love the service of this place. Got my art tattoo on time and one more thing the place was very clean.

I was referred here from a Facebook friend lol and the internet won again!Jalisa was amazing! Super friendly and made me so comfortable before and after. She affirmed my motivation for the piercing as well as confidence with the health of my body.....I also have to mention that this was a spur of the moment re piercing for me ...Someone needs to hear just do it! And doit at this jawn...

Really wonderful experience. Took my daughter to get her belly button pierced and couldnt have been more happy with how she was treated, the cleanliness of the place, how everything was explained to her about the procedure and the upkeep.

My daughter had a piercing done. It was done very professionally. Studio was very clean and very nice inside.

Awesome Service Great and Amazing Tattoos and Piercings

Today I went to get a matching tattoo and Mikey did an amazing job! It was perfect and exactly the way we wanted. The place was clean and everyone was very kind and made us feel welcome. Last minute, we made a decision about getting a belly piercing and we got amazing help from Julissa. She helped me calm my nerves and she was very careful with me. She did it perfectly and I would definitely recommend to everyone. Thank you for having me !!!

Mike was absolutely incredible... I love my lotus flower!

The professionalism of Mikey, specifically, was outstanding! He took the time to prepare sketchings ahead of time and listened intently to my desires, all while creating an original & authentic piece. He was sure to present his unopened and clean tools before beginning. The best part was Mikeys artistic ability. What concentrated detail! You wont be disappointed.

Loved the experience friendly environment affordable and clean. My son first tattoo and he was very happy with it. Max was great would recommend to anyone. Max was so patient. Thank you

So far I’ve gotten two tattoos from this place and I have never made the best decision like picking this place to get a tattoo. The crew is super nice, they make the tattoos like FIRE! I went today for my arrow/rose tattoo and I’m absolutely in love and they made me feel welcome. I HIGHLY recommend you to go here.

My guy mike definitely is the guy to see. He is so professional with how he operates his business, and his skills with the needle is insane. Definitely recommend checking him out.

This place is clksed.dont go there .I drove there for for nothing.

I took a chance on going to this shop based on the positive reviews I read. I wanted to get a daith piercing. I went on a Sunday afternoon. The place was clean and welcoming...no loud music and a bunch of people just hanging around. Max was courteous, informative & professional. The process was painful but he was so smooth and reassuring, that I got a second one (the tragus). Their prices are reasonable. I highly recommend him and might even go back for another one soon.

Clean place, comfortable atmosphere, friendly staff, and talented artists! I was on vacation with a friend and we wanted ink to remember the trip by. I was a walk-in that ended up staying for a 3 hour tattoo from Mike. He was great! I’m so happy with his work and professionalism. Accidentally spent my whole paycheck on the tattoo and a tip but it was worth every cent. If I find myself in the area again, I will definitely be back!

Very nice shop! And jay is one of the best tattoo artists out there!

The price wasnt so bad and the two guys working on saturday were very friendly definitely will be getting more tattoos done there

I got this tattoo at this shop and I have never been more disappointed and upset with how this came out. The quote says “suffering ends with acceptance” and you can barely read it. The artist ruined such a beautiful quote that meant a lot to me. The artist had an EXTREMELY heavy hand as you can see and no this tattoo isn’t new. The ink bled under my skin causing it to look ridiculously bruised. I will never be back here. If I can give this negative stars I would. Worst tattoo experience ever!

My daughter got her nose pierced an the gentleman was very patient and explained the whole process. Very Professional an Sterile with his utensils. I highly recommend this business for your piercing/tattooing needs

We walked in on a Sunday afternoon coming from NY, right as they opened, and there was six of us getting tattooed. The guys could not have been nicer or more accommodating. Jay did our tattoos and every one of them is beautiful and the experience was amazing. He is friendly, knowledgeable and a great artist! Walked out with big smiles and will def take the trip back to get more done by him!

Very clean , friendly and professional! Great tattoo done by Mike!

I went to Inklightened to get an Industrial and a Daith piercing. I was nervous about going to a tattoo parlor but looking at their well curated website and speaking to them over the phone helped to sooth me. I made a bit of a fool of myself when I rang the bell and knocked on the door, only to turn the door knob and find it open. The owner was nice about this and met me at the door smiling kindly.The shop itself is small, but the space is used wisely, giving it a homey feel. Well lit and inviting, the walls are covered in what Im guessing is potential tattoo art, and the background music is trendy but not loud. The windows are covered with dark colored blinds so youre not on display to people walking by, and the seating is comfortable, encouraging you to bring a friend.Mike was the guy who pierced me. Id previously read his bio on their website and felt comfortable with him. He spoke softly, but firmly, exuding a friendly confidence that assured me he knew what he was doing. Before the piercing began, he used tweezers to pluck the jewelry he was going to use on me from the case. I wanted a circular barbell for my Daith, but once again, he spoke firmly yet kindly, telling me that I would have to have a curved barbell to allow for swelling and drainage. I looked that up online, and he was right. The actual piercings themselves happened quickly. He used 3 different needles, throwing each away after a single use, and then he changed his gloves every time he left the room to get a new piece of jewelry.Overall, I had a WONDERFUL experience!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Amazing service. Would highly recommend 🥰

The service I received here was amazing!! The piercer was really funny and cool, and he made the whole experience better! I got multiple piercings at once, and he made it a breeze because hes been piercing for 14 years. Definitely come here to spend your money.

I had an awesome experience there. The area was clean, well lit and very peaceful. Everyone was extremely friendly, and I didnt feel any hesitation or discomfort. I got my nose piercing done here, and Max was welcoming and pleasant. Everything was clean, sterile and isolated. The prices are also reasonable ($50 for a nose piercing, stud included). It was also really quick; I was in and out in 30 mins, even though the actual piercing only took less than 10. Make sure to schedule an appointment in advance.

This is the place. I had been wanting the chakra symbols tattooed down my spine for a while. I called a bunch of different place for pricing and availability but when I spoke with Jay, I knew I found my artist. We immediately connected, he had been wanting to do a piece similar to what I described so I came in for a consultation. Jay was extremely knowledgeable and knew he needed a specific size needle to obtain the clean lined look I was asking for. During the almost 4 hour process, Jay made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. He is now my go-to for any of my tattoo and piercing needs. Highly highly recommend!!!

Had my bottom lip pierced today and was pretty nervous, they made me feel very comfortable. Very clean, great sense of humor and sweet. Prices were beyond reasonable. I would definitely recommend this place. Im glad I chose this five star location!

Very clean place. Excellent service. I came here to get my ears pierced and everything went very smoothly. Ill be going back to get my tongue pierced.

I just got my first tattoo and 3 piercings all done here, and I am SO happy with the results. I was extremely nervous but the staff was SO friendly!!! Jay did my tattoo and made It as painless as possible (which I am grateful for). 10/10 recommend!!!:)

Walked in yesterday and Mike did a beautiful job. Chrisp, straight lines. Clean work. And a cool dude too. The shop was very comfortable, inviting and clean.

Amazing and such a clean place to be honest!!! I went there to get my nose pierced yesterday and the staff were so nice and so was my piercer. They obviously knew what they were doing. 10/10 would recommend.

Awesome shop. Max fixed and gave flavor to my first tattoo. He also did my 2nd and 3rd tat. The shop is easy to find. Depending on what time of the day you go parking is not too bad. Clean and organized shop.

I dont usually write Google reviews but this tattoo and piercing shop is well deserving of one. Ive recently gotten two piercings from this shop and couldnt be any more happier than I already am. The staff is extremely professional and educated. Shop is clean and comfortable. Instructions on treatment are explained twice and everything is quick and fun. I have adopted this shop as my own for I will be returning for every piercing I get. Once I start my sleeve I will definitely be visiting them again. Thank you to both Max and Chang for making both experiences great!

Went here to get my second hole pierced because the reviews looked promising, and they certainly were. The owner is very kind and genuine, made you feel comfortable and explained everything before and as he did it. Definitely going back here.

I went to Inklightened for a second ear piercing. I was pleasantly surprised by the fee, as it was lower than piercing pagoda and even included the earrings. I paid $40 +tax total for two stud piercings. Going in, I was extremely nervous but the piercer was professional and made me feel less terrified.

This place is so clean and an awesome environment. Max the owner is extremely friendly and takes his time with his work. You can tell he takes so much pride in everything he does and his shop. My tattoo came out amazing today and I look forward to getting the rest of my arm sleeve done by Max!

Just got my first ever tattoo done here today and I couldnt be happier! Everyone was so nice and friendly, it was really a great experience. Camilo did my tattoo and it looks so good! I showed it off to a few people already and they were simply amazed with the quality. Id recommend this shop to anyone and everyone that wants a tattoo done well. I definitely anticipate that Ill be back soon as well!

Artist Mike was great. Work was excellent.. price was worth it

This is my first tattoo ever and I am so happy I went to Inklightened! I wanted something very subdued and not too out there and Jay definitely helped me find exactly the kind of tattoo I wanted! I came in as a walk-in and they took care of me really well! We even had a back and forth conversation about suggestions and placements, etc. This is definitely the place to go! P.S. Im very afraid of needles and Inklightened made me so comfortable, my fear went away. Highly Recommend this place!

So very happy with his work thank you jay

Max did a perfect job piercing, selecting, and advising. Had a good time and will definitely be back for more.

Get my tats here now from someone who referred them. They are very professional and don’t worry about your designs. If you feel unsure about it, trust me, they will make sure you go home satisfied with something amazing.

Alec did a custom Lotus Flower and it turned out PERFECT!!! Way beyond my expectations it’s WILD!!I highly recommend him and the shop to everyone. They are straight forward on what can be done and what would look best, very detailed oriented. Excellent experience clean and organized shop; friendly staff, great and vastly experience artist; reasonably priced. You can’t ask for more in a shop. For my next piece will only go here.Love these guys!!

By far the best tattoo shop i have stepped foot in. It has a great positive environment, super clean, the tattoo artists are amazingly nice and enthusiastic, an experience truly unforgettable. Nathaly, one of the artists, is fantastic. She is so kind and works well with you, I felt so comfortable with her. She has a very soft touch and her creativity goes beyond expectations. I recommend this place to everyone and anyone, you wont regret it!

I’d more stars if I could, I went there to have my nose piercing changed and Max was very attentive also the place is very clean the prices are reasonable there also friendly I highly recommend this place!! Awesome

Mike was great awesome work I was pleased going back soon

Got my tragus pierced here and very happy with it. Place was super clean and the piercer did an amazing job. Def recommend this place.

Jay Maniakal is my artists and hes a pleasure planning the artistic flow of the work he has done on me. Great guy. Very professional, excellent artist/tattoo artist. Great shop.

Its my first time getting my tongue pierced and it was quick and easy. Everything came out perfectly! Its been a week now and there hasnt been any problem.

I just got my 1st tattoo in 11 yrs at this wonderful establishment!!!! Jay did my tattoo and I love it!!! He is so professional and nice! I recommend him!!

Great tattoo artists, very chill and professional. Would definitely great another tattoo there again.

I went to visit my family in the U.S a month ago in the state of New jersey, then decided to get a tattoo. As I did some research on Google around the area. I found Inklightened Tattoo to be the one with the best quality tattoo work and friendly good customer service. I called the shop and spoke with the Tattoo artist, Nathaly, who helped to make my tattoo as I planned it to be. She specializes in traditional tattoos, so she gave me her ideas and drew something that I was very happy with, the outcome was amazing. I love it. Im very happy with my tattoo. Also, the environment is really clean, very professional and would definitely recommend, reliable prices and great tattoos.

It was a super clean shop. Alec did a beautiful piece on my foot that was one of his custom designs - super clean and the lines are well-defined. Hes a quick artist with a lot of talent, but not sloppy - before I knew it, it was over! It was a very comfortable atmosphere to get a tattoo - very laidback, and Alec is good at making you feel comfortable, especially considering I was getting a tattoo on one of the most painful spots. Prices are great, the staff is very friendly, and Id highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to get piercings, tattoos, etc. Looking forward to getting more ink soon by Alec!

The place is clean, organized. The guys are friendly, helpful and with good ideas for tattoos. Love it!!!Will be back for my next one

Very clean. The place looked great. I got a great price for a gorgeous design. I was very impressed.

Loved every bit of my experience! Mike did an awesome job covering up My old tattoo! Very clean environment and awesome artists!

Mike was great with consultation for my septum piece. Very professional, spotless environment.

My son recieved a tattoo from the artist Chan. He did an exceptional job. I was very pleased with my sons body art. I would definitely recommend this tattoo shop.

I got my belly button and nose pierced here. The man is so nice and he even let me come in to change my ring because I wasnt able to, free of charge. It was very clean. The only concern that I had was whether or not the ball on my belly button and the stud piece on my nose ring was also surgical steel because my holes were a little dark. That might just be part of my healing process due to the fact that Im Black but Im not 100% sure. Other than that he was thorough and so nice and helpful!

The guys here are very knowledgeable and good at piercing.

I took my daughter to get a tattoo and I love the cleanliness of the shop. Her tattoo came out amazing done by Alec. After seeing his work I came back to get a tattoo for myself which also came out great. I will definitely be going back for another.

My man hardcore Jay Maniakal is AMAZING!!! I sat for over 3 hours it felt like 30 minutes. He is super gentle! 100% professional and an insane artist. Shop is super close to BK! I have already made an appointment for myself and my husband. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!

My girlfriend wanted to get a piercing and we went here. The guy who did it, Max, was just amazing he walked her through what would happen and helped explain how to clean it. I would definitely go back.

Amazing!! Jay was my tattoo artist and he did a great job, details are 100%. I personally have darker skin and most of my tattoos don’t pop out very well but jay found a way to make it stick out! Very glad I came to him.

Just got my first tattoo here by Jay, amazing, so clean and friendly. Definitely will be returning for another!

Artist gave me a blowout, then insisted it was just healing and that it would go away. It’s definitely a blowout now after 6 months.Tat doesn’t look good at all.

I looked this tattoo shop on google and I came across it and I read rhe reviews which were really good so I decided to go. The owner made me feel very comfortable the shop is super clean and I ended up getting my nose pierced.

I am always getting compliments on the ink on my hands when I mention how long Ive had them people are astonished at how nice they look and fresh.

I was looking forward to get my second Tattoo. I spoke to the tattoo girl Nathaly. She showed me a lot of variety, so I decided to get a zodiac sign tattoo. She is so good and talented. I did not even feel pain even though I got a big and colorful tattoo. She was very professional. She keep everything clean and in place.I recommend this parlor. Very nice artwork....:) happy customer

I was searching for a tattoo shop and came across Inklightened, As I entered everyone their greeted you. The tattoo artist I had (Alec), made me feel welcomed. He did a great job with my tattoo and ill be sure to go back for more!

Max is excellent in explaining every detail prior to the execution. Its clean and the price is right too. 😊

Great service, very clean and customer service was a 10 out of 10. Artists know what they’re doing.

Excellent work by Jay....I just lost my grandmother recently, he did the art for me and I just want to say that it’s beautiful and I love it. It made my day and I will be back very soon for more. Thanks bro 👍🏽👍🏽

Very professional and everything very clean I love my tatoo I recommend it

This place very clean ,reasonable ! Max did my nose piercing , he is Awesome !

First tattoo was done here. Mike did my tattoo and was very gentle. I highly recommend!!! :)

The guys there are amazing they make you feel welcomed and take their time with each tattoo. I got my first tattoo and my rook piercing done by max and Ioved it. And the second time I went to Alec, he did an amazing job on both of my tattoos. I cant wait to go back for more.

Was pierced by Mike the other day. Was blown away at his professionalism and cleanliness of the shop. He obviously takes alot of pride in his work!

Very cool.shop, friendly and extremely clean Prices are also very reasonable.

Me and my girls went to go get friends tattoos and the artists jay way dope we had fun I will be going back there asap great job Jay 🤗🤗🤗

Had an emergency situation where my sister needed a tongue ring after she swallowed hers. Called when we were 17 minutes away and was told they’d be open for another 30 minutes. They were closed upon arrival. Very unhappy with this experience and lack of customer service.

Although the facility is well kept and the piercer is friendly and patient .::::the jewelry used to pierce was very cheap and not of good quality. I am used to going to a piercing shop in New Brunswick that is a little pricey but the jewelry is beautiful and you have a plethera of choices to choose from for your piercing .

By far my favorite shop in Elizabeth, super clean and comfortable environment. Have had three tattoos done there by Nathaly, super happy with all three of them, very sweet and talented artist!

Shop is excellent. Jay did my wifes tattoo today and did an outstanding job.

I got pierced here a few weeks ago and I noticed that it started to look and feel strange and I even thought when i got done it looked a bit off but anyway turns out I wasnt pierced in the correct place I was pierced NEAR the correct spot and I was told because of the placement it was rejecting and I caught it early on so I wasted my time and money but thanks for the experience though I guess

Went to Inklightened to get my tattoo done. My tattoo is the embodiment of my deceased father. I needed someone to tattoo the Taino symbol of the sun with Angel wings. I explained that this tat was and is more than just a tat it is a representation of my dad, a daily reminder of his rising. So I humbly say thank you Jay Maniakal for acing it!!! I know the placement posed a challenge but man did you rise to it!!!!!YOU SLAYED IT!!!!!!

I got my tattoo done on sunday by Alec. I had a great experience! i am already working with him on ideas for my next one. i really am enjoying my new piece, and cant wait for it to heal. alec does great work, and makes sure you are doing okay during the whole process.everyone was very friendly and all smiled. place is very clean. staff is very fair with price.

Amazing staff whom are extremely talented !! I cant wait for max to finish my half sleeve 😍😍

Great environment, very clean good ppl

I got some tattoos done by Nathaly, she is awesome. She has a very light hand, I didnt feel pain. She works with you and I got exactly what I wanted. Very friendly and clean enviroment.
