I recently traveled to NYC and while I was there I got my first tattoo done by Chris Crowder. I truly would travel all the way to NY just to be tattooed by him again. His work is absolutely insane and he is so incredibly genuine. I would recommend him and his work to anyone who asks. He also made me feel super comfortable the whole time which I think is very important especially getting my first tattoo. Also, the rest of the staff I met was super friendly and down to earth as well!RECOMMEND RECOMMEND RECOMMEND!!!!

Chris and the staff are awesome! I stopped in for a tattoo while visiting the city and I loved it here. The shop is super clean, the staff are very personable and professional, and their prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, quality place for a tattoo!

I got my belly button pierced here recently, and I couldnt recommend the experience more. The piercers were incredible confident, comfortable, and competent, and made the process seem easy. The price was great for the service as well. I am definitely coming back!

Came here to get helix piercings with my bestfriend to celebrate our 17th year of friendship. The business was extremely professional. Our piercing specialist, Mooshu was jovial, knowledgeable and was great at his job. He did an awesome job of explaining how everything would go and what our aftercare would be. He also chose the best place for the earring to go on each of us based off of our ear size and shape. Visit Village Tattoo for all of your piercing needs.

Great experience! The staff is friendly and very helpful, will be back🙌🏾

I got a cartilage piercing here a few months ago, and had a great experience. The staff is very kind and informative, and the shop felt very clean. Aside from the welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff, another selling point of this location is the very affordable prices. It is worth noting, though, that these prices correspond with jewelry options that might not be as nice as other places that are much pricier. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to get a piercing on a budget but doesnt want to make any compromises when it comes to safety.

They were awesome. my friend and I were walk-ins and they were very diligent and attentive. Love love love my new tattoos. Highly recommend

Great place! Got my tattoo here! They are fast and efficient.

I got a rib tattoo today from Jimmy he was super nice and calm, allowed me to pick what place I want it to be. The owner is so nice and the workers are super cool. Overall really good vibe and the prices are amazing. I RECOMMEND

Professional. I paid the $100 minimum for a simple tattoo, but that’s because for my first tattoo I wanted a solid place to do it

I love Chris. Does awesome tattoos and great convo

The artists here are super talented and friendly. Always listening to you and making sure you get a quality product. I just got tattooed here for the second time, and Im sure it will continue to be my go-to.They are also a very clean and hygienic establishment. They are carefully following all Covid guidelines.Jimmy English is my go to artist. Consider checking him out and asking for him to be your artist.

This is a very professional and comfortable place to get properly pierced in the city. Yolanda was absolutely kind, skillful and knowledgeable in regards to giving me both rook and tragus piercings. I was very relaxed with her. I highly recommend this place as they take proper protocols for social distancing, cleanliness and providing care for all customers. I will definitely come back for a forward helix piercing at a later time.

Love my tat. Its simple so it wasnt hard to mess up. What I didnt love was that after being quoted a price and after they were half way through the man who was working reception came downstairs and up the price significantly on an already overpriced quote (the entire tat took 20mins) Im not going to lie, I was pretty inebriated so I didnt have the capacity to argue and didnt want to leave with only half a tattoo so I agreed.Pretty sad to accept drunk customers and then take advantage of the situation.

Ive been going to Village Tattoo for all my tattoos & piercings since 2015. Everyone there is incredibly kind, warm and accommodating. Their procedures are sterile, the space is clean and Im always thrilled with whatever I get done. Couldnt recommend more highly!

Great artist; listened to what we wanted and did it. Fair prices and friendly staff.

Had an amazing experience getting tattooed at Village Tattoo! Everyone working there is so lovely and I cannot recommend it more. Mark and Michelle were super friendly and warm while I was waiting for my appointment. The parlour is clean and the prices are very reasonable. Chris, my tattooer, was so patient and helpful -- he did not rush me to make a decision at all (I was slightly undecided about the placement of my tattoo). He also has a super calm demeanour which made me feel at ease and was also very gentle and efficient. He did a great job with my line tattoo and I am very pleased. Definitely would come back for my next one.Also -- shout-out to Marks granddaughter Mila for being born literally today!! :)

I had a great experience for my first tattoo, I can’t wait to get more. Workers were really nice and welcoming. I would definitely recommend.

MAKE AN APPOINTMENT (piercing). I didn’t and the city was unusually busy. I still had an amazing experience, got a double cartilage piercing, Yolanda properly showed me how sterile the entire operation was and they even brought me a coke when I told them I would most likely start passing out. Piercing and earrings themselves must’ve taken like 10~ish minutes.

Always had great experiences here! Love their hours and how professional they are.

So I had an appointment for 1pm at Village Tattoo on Sept. 11th. I came in with my friend who was also looking to have a piece done but didnt make an appointment, the great people over there were totally understanding and took him at the same time as me! So off the bat, the hospitality and warm feeling was there. Mind you this was both of our’s first tattoos and everything went so smooth. The ideas were talked out and right away we went downstairs into an extremely clean room, organized equipment and we got started. My artist, J. English, was extremely nice and comforting and the tattoo came out amazing. So thank you guys very much and I highly recommend this shop, I will definitely be coming back again soon!

From start to finish my experience was AMAZING!!! Mark is amazing and he was very professional. Jimmy is amazing It was my first tat and I was super nervous but he made me comfortable. By the time I looked he was FINISHED. I’m already planning my next tattoo I can’t wait. This place is AWESOME!!!

One of my favorite tattoo shops in the city. You can meet some of the most amazing and talented tattoo artists in the heart of Greenwich Village. Very clean and professional environment with super friendly and helpful management.They alway deliver more than what you expect.

Yolanda was amazing! She did piercings for me and my friend. We did a conch and orbital. She was so friendly and very professional showing me dates to needles and letting me know everything she was doing. Super kind. I will absolutely be going back!

Great and friendly service. Knowledgeable staff that informs you of best practices to take care of your piercings. Yolanda pierced ears for me and my friend and she was funny and professional.

Chris was my tattoo artist. Cool person and cool people as well. I originally left a rave review. However 3 months later and my flower tattoos are already fading. Along with my Africa tattoo. I am extremely disappointed as I moisture and take care of my tattoos. When I learned they didn’t do hand tattoos or such, it drew my suspicions as to whether the ink quality is low. It appears I was correct. I stopped going after learning that. My mother tat, who got a small name tattoo here, is already starting to fade as well. In just 1/2 months after having it done. This is a bit shocking and disappointing as I swore by them. It was my first tattoos and so I was new to the process.

Great experience! Very clean! Nice workers the piercer Yolanda is amazing and makes you feel very cofterble! And they take there covid safety serious! Will definitely recommend.. also will be going back for another piercing soon!

Just got a double front helix piercing from Yolanda! It’s my second visit to Village Tattoo and will come back a 3rd time! I felt very comfortable with their COVID protocols they had in place.

These guys in here are absolutely awesome. The tattoos are great, 4 really simple matching tattoos. What set these guys apart is the personal attention. Not only did they stay open for us to get all the way to their shop from Far Rockaway but helped me and my family sneak rather large statues to my car with my future wife being none the wiser. The ink was great and fair priced, the statues are amazing, the staff was more amazing, we are all very pleased. Definitely a great place to get ink!!!

Came here for my second small tattoo and it was wonderful. The staff is very friendly. The price of the tattoo was reasonable and it perfect. My tattoo artist is Leo and he was great. He wanted it to be as perfect as possible. Im definitely coming here again for future tattoos.

Before today I would recommend 10/10 great customer service, friendly, put me at ease. But both my helix piercings were not angled perpendicular causing them to heal angled and cause complications. Had to get them removed, $70 down the drain. Their prices are great but for quality go somewhere else.

Great spot and friendly staff. Chris is extremely friendly, helpful and professional!

Great place to get a tattoo with the family. Great artists amazing atmosphere. Awsome time

I LOVE the people there. There so chill, warm and inviting. Theyve looked after me and my piercings since 2014 even if I didnt originally get it from the piercers there. This is my latest tattoo from the artist named Jimmy. He does exceptional work! Hes done 2 of my tattoos. Ill definitely be coming back! Check him out for sure! 🧡

Got my second piercing here and they always are friendly and very professional

Visited from Denver for my honeymoon. Have followed Hamilton (the play) religiously, read the book and listen to the soundtrack nearly everyday. Decided to commemorate with a tattoo. Chris did an AMAZING job and made me exactly what I wanted. Cannot say enough good things about this shop!

Absolutely love this place and would never go anywhere else in the city for a piercing. Everyone there is friendly and gives great information - and they even took great care of me when I quite embarrassingly almost passed out after my piercing (sorry guys!) - and the shop is very clean. Yolanda was my piercer on my second and most recent visit, and she was so fast and professional!

Hands down the best tattoo and piercing shop me or my wife have ever been in. We have 27 tattoos and about 12 piercings (past and current) between us. Weve been in a little bit of every where but this is the best. People there are fantastically nice, knowledgeable and ridiculously reasonably priced. Absolutely was the icing on my birthday / our honeymoon cake. I will literally wait another year to be back in New York just to go back to this shop for my next piece.

Yolanda is THE BEST when it comes to piercings! She makes sure you’re comfortable throughout a piercing process and cleans the tools, piercing in front of you and shows you the expiration date of the needle she’ll be using on you. If there’s any issue you may have with your piercing, she’ll be happy to help and make sure you’re pleased. I’m glad to have gotten my first piercing experience with her 🥰

The staff is super friendly and caring. I was nervous about getting my cartilage piercing but they ensured I had a positive experience. Very clean place, I was shown the new packaged needles and their expiration date (2023), and it is more affordable compared to other places in the area.

Amazing work by Jimmy English and a great staff. Thank you again 🙏

Chris was very friendly and patient in guiding me to making a decision. I love my 1st tattoo. Highly recommend.

I love that piercing place. They sare so sweet, fun and very patient with their customers. They always have good customer service. I went there last week and it was my third time.

Personally I trusted the reviews on here and they delivered, I went in and showed them what I wanted and they gave me a quote right away. I also showed them two tattoos that I was unsure about because I didn’t wanna pay a lot and the man in the front said “well give you what you really want not the tattoo you wanna settle for”, and that was very kind. For the size and how fast it was done, maybe 15 minutes, the price was great. Still one of my favorite tattoos done very well and after care was explained well. Highly suggestion coming here if ur looking for a good shop in nyc!!! Coming back Saturday for more :)) thanks for being a clean and orderly place and giving me a better tattoo then I even expected

Great experience all around. Staff was courteous and the shop was clean and pandemic-approved. Amazing job Jimmy! 🔥

I get tattooed in October 2016 and this first experience was great, I was stressed, but the guy who tattooed me was super nice and confident that it all goes well. I really LOVE my tattoo. It was my 25th birthday gift.This year, February 2020, I came in NYC with the idea of a conch piercing. But pictures on internet were very disgusting (infections and so on) and then I waited the last day of my trip to go to Village Tattoo. Im so happy I did it. The piercing hurt for a few days but I received clear information to clean and heal it. Now its been 8 months I get pierced, I changed the jewel and the piercer here in Switzerland told me that usually, conch piercing get bad and its quite rare to have such a nice result.I now LOVE my piercing and tattoo.Thank you so much guys for those incredible NY memories !

Took a day trip into New York from Boston with a friend who had been here before and highly recommended it, so we booked appointments for a Saturday afternoon. Im glad we did, because when I got there, it was packed with people trying to get walk-in appointments.I had emailed them my design beforehand so all I had to do was sign a few forms and wait a few minutes for them to get set up. Chris was incredibly friendly and helpful in explaining how to take care of my tattoo afterwards since it was my first time.I would definitely come back again for my next tattoo!

Chris was very kind and patient in helping me choose my 1st tattoo. Highly recommend.

The workers were very nice and accommodating. The shop was clean and @jenglish was amazing! He did matching tattoos for me and my best friend. We came to him with a rough sketch of what we wanted and he was able to decipher and draw it up Beautifully for us. It was quick and painless and the end result was amazing! I would go back to him and the shop again and again if I was a NYC resident! Can’t sing their praises enough!

Everyone was really nice and the tattoo artist was extremely understanding and patient

Amazing experience. I had booked an appointment here for myself and friend to get tattoos together- we both flew in and went straight there. I booked off the back of the fantastic reviews and they didn’t disappoint. My friend had Chris and I had Jimmy. Both extremely talented, professional, friendly and lovely guys. Mark who owns or runs the shop was also great. The skill and artistry was amazing- especially the colour work done by Chris and the shading by Jimmy. 10/10

I have had gotten pierced twice at Village Tattoo, most recently I had my septum pierced by Yolanda. I had a great experience the first time I had gotten a piercing here, and my last experience was just as great. I came in without an appointment, and there was no wait. I was on crutches, and all of the staff was very kind and helpful. They made sure I was safely up and down the stairs, and gave me a place to sit while I received my aftercare instructions and paid. I also had a friend with me, and he was able to sit comfortably downstairs with me while I got my piercing. Yolanda was so kind. She walked me through every step of the piercing, made sure to show me all of the tools that would be used, made sure to show me that they were sterilized and new, and on top of that she was lovely to talk to. I was given clear and easy to follow aftercare instructions, and was given the option to purchase aftercare products when I checked out. I will certainly be back for another piercing, and have recommended the shop to several of my friends. If you are looking for a great place to get pierced, and for a great price, look no further.

Amazing crew that is both warm and welcoming. They make a visit enjoyable from start to finish, and are loyal to returning customers. They answer all your question and are patient while skilled at reassuring nervous clients, like myself. This is my place and i wont go anywhere else!! I highly recommend.

Prompt professional friendly service

Very clean and professional, the tattoo artist was so nice and awesome! Will definitely be going back there for more 👍🏼

I’ve been here twice now. Different artists each time, but both were lovely. The tattoos I had done were simple and small, so I was able to walk in and be seen almost right away. The people at the front might come across as gruff at first but they’re actually very nice and helpful. (I can imagine they deal with a lot of drunkards at night.)

Great people, very friendly and excellent work. Thanks again guys for making my birthday great!!

I booked an appointment for a tattoo and was running late. The shop was very accomodating and took their time with making sure I liked the design. J English did a great job, very nice and my tattoo turned out wonderfully. His work was very efficient and had such a light touch. It dis not hurt at all. I would get another tattoo from him anytime!

Very covid aware...good price....very friendly

I got my first tattoo here and it was a great experience! Amazing artists and such a fair price!

Great service, everyone was really friendly. The lady at the front was kept giving me sweets & was really nice to chat to. The artist Chris did an amazing job of doing the Eye of Agamotto on my inner forearm. Turned out better than expected.

This place is really great. My guy Mark answered my phone call and let me make an appointment just an hour in advance, was super friendly when I arrived, and set me up with a dope artist (Chris) who did a great job for me with the tattoo I wanted. Had some friendly conversation with the guys behind the counter as well. The vibe was laid back and friendly -- I felt at ease as soon as I stepped in the door. I made the initial decision to come to this location for ink because of the high volume of really good reviews, and the experience met + exceeded expectations. Ill be coming back again for my next piece.

Just got my first tattoo here! Jimmy was amazing:) its not as hurt as I thought, I can even read my book at the same time:) I could feel my leg was shaking, but he didnt mess up any line. Professional

Got my 1st tattoo done by Jimmy, a smaller piece on my wrist. Hes super light-handed and the tattoo turned out beautifully. Had such a great experience, I came back to get a second larger piece done on my back. Theres nothing more awkward than having to stand mostly shirtless in front of someone youve just met but, Chris was extremely respectful and polite about it and I felt quite comfortable. His work is also phenomenal and hes very efficient. Mark, the owner(?)/front desk guy is very helpful with recommendations and tips. For all future tattoos, this is the place to go and definitely ask for either Jimmy or Chris. Thanks guys!

Friendly staff, beautiful place and amazing tattoo artists. These are some of the tattoos that I did there.

Had an amazing experience with Chris!! There’s nothing better than a nice tattoo artist - especially when you’re nervous! He does great work and seriously is so nice and someone I would trust to do another tattoo for me! I definitely will be returning to him!!

I am over the moon! I just got my 3rd (and 4th) tattoos here last night and theyre just perfect. Chris has been doing my tattoos since my first one last year, and he is wonderful. Hes polite, he listens, and he really goes out of his way to make you feel super comfortable. Not to mention that hes worked on my last two designs for me, and made them into so much more than I ever imagined in my head (for free, too! No deposit, no consultations needed!) I dont know how he manages to make the tattoo look a million times better on me than in the sketch, but he does. Its crazy. And the Manager Mark is super nice and welcoming, as are pretty much everyone else who works there. It feels like a little family, which is cool. Highly recommended! Ill only be going there!

I love all of the artists here! They are all so nice and talented. Deanna has done 5 of my 7 tattoos and I get compliments on them all the time! Best tattoo shop in the city by far!

Very highly recommended. Very comfortable atmosphere; i went in for one tattoo and kept going back! We did four individual pieces and Chris did a great job, made suggestions and I left with exactly what I wanted plus a great refresher/touch up to an existing tattoo 💪🏽. Ive had work done in many countries and Id choose these guys in a heartbeat. If you choose these guys youre in great hands. Were I not travelling back to the UK tomorrow Id be going in for a sixth 🙌

Chris is an amazing artist! Great price. For sure recommend.

Much better place with Bonnie as my piercer! She did an excellent job on my rook and told me that my cartilage was looking well taken care of. A month later, she downsized my cartilage piercing and looked at my rook and said the upkeep was great

This place has some of the most polite artists Ive ever encountered in a tattoo shop. I was treated so courteously and had an amazing sit down with an artist by the name of Chris. He saw my vision and we are in the process of putting it to fruition. I am excited to begin this journey and am glad to have come across such an amazing team!! I will definitely update once I start my tattoo. However; I am sure it will be amazing!!!!

Great place. Mark the owner is super nice and the tattoo artists are super professional. Personally I got 4 tattoos on my arm with Chris and I love his work!! Going back there again soon

Went there whilst on holiday for a tattoo I’ve been wanting for a while now. Visiting from the uk, and received the best welcome and service. Great staff! Clean environment! Would definitely recommend if you’re thinking about getting a tattoo and want a walk in service.

Love Love Loved it. I googled this place and when I read the reviews, I immediately went with my daughter to get our piercings done and we were 💯 satisfied. Friendly staff, clean environment, the wait was not long and I was a walk-in. I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed. I am going back to get my first tattoo there. Yolanda did the piecing and she was awesome.👍

Wonderful staff! Very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I love my tattoo, and I felt like I was in great hands. I would recommend this too any one, especially for someone getting their first tattoo!

Emailed to see if I could get a quote for two tattoos and they responded within minutes and answered all of my questions. I was able to book an appointment to have both done together that same weekend. Very reasonable pricing especially for NYC and the staff is extremely friendly. They went above and beyond to accommodate me. Ill be back!

I literally come here for everything! Mark, Mooshu, and jimmy are unmatched!!

The work here is phenomenal, the artist Jimmy English is extraordinarily skilled and so light handed you can barely feel it. The tattoo parlor also has a wide variety of intricate jewelry pieces which can be pierced by the magnificent Mala. You truly have no idea how amazing a tattoo or how painless a piercing can really turn out until you go to this superb location. I recommend it to anyone and everyone!

Extremely friendly environment and several tattoo artists available both times that I have gone. The quality of work varies from good to immaculate. Rather than mention names, I suggest reviewing their work to guarantee quality of your piece.

This place is incredible! The atmosphere was wonderful, very comforting and understanding. I was late and it was not a problem. I dont live in NYC so it was pretty stressful and they put me at ease. I got two small tattoos done by Chris, and they turned out exactly as I wanted. It was $140 and took about an hour, including wait time. They offered me and my cousins candy, which was nice. The room is small and comfortable. Chris was amazing. He wa every nice, very respectful, and very helpful. If Im ever in NYC again Im definitely coming back!

Got my Daith pierced today by Yolanda. This piercing is one of the more painful ones you can get done and let me tell you, this woman eased my nerves and the pain lol. She was so thorough and explained every piece of equipment, showed me that it was all brand new and clean, and even showed me a few breathing techniques that actually worked !! I highly recommend this place and Yolanda.Also the man at the desk, unfortunately I do not remember his name but he kept the shop very clean and took my temperature and gave gave me hand sanitizer the moment I walked in. Everything was spotless. They both were very professional and friendly.I highly recommend this place !!!

I had such a great experience with Yolanda! I went to a shop in Brooklyn, Armageddon Ink, for a tragus piercing. They did a HORRIBLE job, so a week later I went to Village Tattoo to beg for help. Yolanda cleaned my piercing, fixed me up with a new earring and all my aftercare needs. Yolanda will be my new go-to piercer and Village Tattoo will be my only NYC piercing spot. Their prices are awesome too.

The reviews for Village Tattoo were excellent and they lived up to their reputation. Fantastic customer service, super professional and gorgeous work. Chris is fantastic. Highly reccomend!!

I went and got my nose (side) pierced and my ears (1st and 2nd) pierced. When I first got there, they were very helpful with picking out jewelry. Yolanda did all of my piercings. She’s fantastic. Very nice and professional. She made it very clear that the place and tools are clean by having all of the packaged tools and needles out, as well as showing me the expiration dates and disposing of them in front of me once I was done. She walked me through the actual process of piercing, which was reassuring. I felt like I was in good hands the whole time. After, both Yolanda and the man at the front counter explained the cleaning procedures to me. They offered to help me if I needed to go back with any questions. The piercings look great. I highly recommend!

Came here to have my upper ear lobe pierced. Everything went well! I decided on this place after much research, I needed a place that was clean, professional, and established. Village Tattoo met all the criteria! The receptionist is just the right amount of friendly. My piercer Yolanda was great at easing my fears and making the situation fast and as painless as possible. She showed me the new packaging of the needle and threw it away in a needle receptacle. My upper lobe piercings are perfectly even despite my uneven lower lobe piercings that were done as an infant. It was a little more pricey more than I anticipated... 80 dollars for two lobe piercings. BUT HEY you cant put a price on clean! I was sent home with aftercare products, no need to buy them separately as it is included in the price. Yolanda explained with great detail on how to care for my piercings. If I ever muster up enough courage to get another piercing, it will DEFINITELY be here!

I had the spontaneous idea to get a tattoo while being in NYC. So I looked up the next Tattoo Studio with a great rating and walked straight in. Everyone was really friendly and helpful, when it came to choosing and sizing my tattoo. The tattoo artist did a great job, I love it. Its healing great. Would totally recommend.

Ive gotten an industrial piercing here last Friday which would be 3/1/19 as of now. Everything was fast and easy. The piercer himself, I wish I got his name, had a good sense of humor. He seemed to know what he was doing and when he looked at my ears he explained to me why either or would be better or me, and explained to me the process and made sure to me that everything was sterile. It was professional, and Id be more than glad to come here again for future piercings.Update: I said Id come here for future piercings and I have. Gotten my tongue, conch, and rook done. Again professional service. While I have a piercing addiction I cant recommend these guys enough.

I first came to this shop back in 2016 to get my helix and forward helix piercings. When I first walked in, I was welcomed by the very friendly and informative staff. Within 20 minutes I was taken downstairs to Mooshu, my piercer. He was very informative, sanitary, professional, and funny, and knew exactly what I wanted. When he was done, he asked me for permission to take a picture of my new piercings! Of course I said yes, as I was absolutely ecstatic about how the piercings turned out...Flash forward almost a year later, I went in again for a conch piercing with two friends who came for piercings as well. This time, we were greeted by Yolanda, yet another amazing piercer. She was also very professional and knew exactly what we wanted... She made the procedure so painless for all of us, and we all came out loving our new piercings! Did I mention that their prices are ridiculously amazing? Seriously... I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for an affordable yet high quality piercing place.

First tattoo and definitely love it!! I had Jimmy as my artist very humble and fast as well! I appreciate your kindness Jimmy!!!!! He made me feel very comfortable Thank you again!! The owner is cool too well organized!! Visit this spot you will not be disappointed!! Ask for Jimmy!!

I love this place. The quality of service here is unbeatable, especially for the price. Got my septum pierced here (first ever non-ear piercing), the piercer was great and made the process quick and easy, and did a great job. Helped explain aftercare really well too. I told him I needed to be able to flip it up for work, and I can and its completely hidden! (pictured below)I also met one of the artists, and his work is beautiful, I would definitely come out here if I were to get a tattoo. All the staff are so friendly and chill, I really cant recommend it enough. Thank you!!!

I had James pierce my forward helix yesterday and I LOVE it!!! He did a great job!! The shop is very clean, everything they use is brand new and very sterile. James went through all the steps with me as he prepped my ear and pierced it. Hes very informative and nice. There was another guy there (not sure of his name) who watched James pierce me and he was talking to me the whole time, distracting me with stories because I was a little nervous! Everyone I talked to was nice, I loved my experience. James went over the at home care of my piercing very extensively, which was nice. Ive been pierced at places before that just dont seem to care about piercing at all and are more focused on the tattoos they do, and piercing is just another way for them to make money. Not at all the case with this place. James even took photos of my ear for his Instagram. Very clean, awesome place, with friendly people who actually care about what youre getting done. HIGHLY recommended if youre looking for piercing in NYC.

Very professional artists, not to mention very friendly. My wife did a tattoo on her arm and I didnt hear any complaints of the pain. Its now a week past that and she got healed very fast. They make sure you know how to take care of your tattoo before they let you go. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to get a tattoo in NYC.

Sweet! I was doing a nose piercing, and the staff was really nice and welcoming. Yolanda did the pierce and she was super professional and nice. The place is sterile and clean. Highly recommended.

My tattoo artist and piercer were amazing. Made my birthday incredibly special. Thank you!

This place is wonderful! I had a piercing appointment scheduled and as soon as I walked in I was being taken care of. Picked out my jewelry and went downstairs. The piercer (Yolanda) explained the entire process as it was happening and showed me everything before actually doing it. Everything they used was clean and sterile. The earrings were in a sealed package and so were the needles. Overall wonderful experience and would recommend them to everyone!

I absolutely love this place. Two days ago I got 6 tattoos done by Jimmy and I was so surprised by how friendly and sweet the staff were. It’s funny how people think sleeved tattooed people are mean or whatever but Jimmy and Chris are so damn sweet and soft as amazing tattoo artists. This Sunday I’m getting another tat done by Jimmy and so looking forward to it. He’s tender and considerate about my designs, very reasonable prices comparing to crazily priced tattoo parlors. My girlfriend wants to get a new tattoo and I’d drag to nowhere but here!

I got my forth tattoo here from jay. he did an awesome job line work and shading was impressive. the staff at the shop was very friendly and social. made me feel really comfortable. cant argue with the price ether very reasonable. I can honestly say I got more then I paid for which says a lot. good price for professional work.but what caught my attention was a old cover up job that a friend of mine had got done from there that was so impressively well done. that I choose to go as well and very happy that I did. jay you my new tattoo artist cant wait for my next piece.

I got my first tattoo here a week ago and I could not be happier. They created exactly the design I wanted and were so kind through every step of the process. I was pretty scared sitting down in that chair for the first time but my artist made sure I was comfortable. Not to mention the booking process on their website was so easy! If I get another tattoo I will definitely be coming back here.

Update: I had a bad experience with Rising Dragon Tattoos. I dont see an option to delete my review so please accept my apologies and the additional stars based on your polite response....Horrible customer service. My husband and I are going to be in NY in June and want to get wedding ring tattoos. The person I spoke with over the phone acted like that was completely beneith the artists there and she would not set up an artist for us to work with.She would only have allowed us to send photos to the studios general mailbox, then she said she would let us know what the shop could do and how much of a deposit we would need to pay in order to secure an appointment. We do want quality work and wouldnt mind paying for it, but the attitude of this shop made us think we probably need to look for somewhere thats a little friendlier.
