Best Tattoo Shops In Albany

“Went in for a cartilage piercing. It was my first ever piercing and Gene did such an incredible job talking me through what was happening and making sure that I wasn't woozy or dizzy after the piercing.

The jewelry they had available was beautiful too, definitely going back for more in the future.“

“I had an incredible experience at Purgatory! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and the staff made me feel right at home. My artist, Karina, was professional, friendly, and genuinely passionate about her craft. She took the time to discuss my idea, understand my vision, and even offered suggestions to make the design even better. The level of skill and detail in the tattoo is honestly breathtaking! Karina has a real talent in listening and delivering the tattoo that was in my head. Not only is the tattoo itself stunning, the detail and shading are perfect. Also, she went above and beyond by talking me through the process. She checked in on how I was feeling and kept me relaxed throughout, which made a big difference in making me comfortable. I couldn't be happier with the final result. The equipment and studio were also spotless, and they followed strict hygiene practices, which made me feel safe throughout the whole process. I'm already planning my next piece with them!"“

“I haven’t been here YET… I saw one of Ian’s clients and her art work was amazing.. ? I’m super excited to talk with Ian to do my next piece. (Mermaid)“

“First time at this tattoo shop and loved the energy & atmosphere here? I love my tattoo that Bishop sat and help created for me with a vision of what I presented to him. When I stopped in to see if I could get it done, he was able to squeeze me in the same day??? Although I am in the healing stage, I couldn’t be more happy with the outcome! I would definitely return to this tattoo shop in the near future without doubt!!!“

“Came for a tattoo coverup, Gene worked with me and gave me the most beautiful tattoo of my life. I could not recommend another studio more“

“Mi is terrific, kind , caring and so very artistic.. I had henna crowni g done and it's just amazing!! I will be going back!!!“

“Called for a walk in piercing and I was welcomed just before closing time. Got my eyebrow pierced and David was gentle and sterile through out the whole process. He was friendly and informative, explained how to care for my piercing on my own. Would recommend.“

“I couldn't be happier with my re-do tattoo. T-Bone took a tattoo I hid from the world because it was awful. Other than sentimental value. He transformed it into a beautiful tattoo that means so much and looks fabulous. He sent me ideas and sketches before I came in. He made me feel so comfortable and really I couldn't have been more pleased. Fantastic pricing from a place that clearly loves what they do. From the front desk who treated us with her sweetness to the very end, I would recommend Lark Street Tattoo and will most certainly be going back! Thanks T-Bone!“

“Ahh! I got the coolest piece done here by Courtney and omg I can't tell you how much I love it. She was so gentle!! So gentle in fact that the placement didn't even hurt, even though it was supposed to be in a spicy area. She called me a unicorn of a client and I ride that high to this day LMAO. shop was clean, awesome decorations, she even set up a privacy partition for us. She took her time and locked in, but was so quick I couldn't believe we were done! Highly, highly recommended!“

“The Dead Presidents Lounge is awesome. They are so well organized, and the vibe at the shop is awesome. Whitney is absolutely phenomenal at what she does. I love how particular she is, and she pays attention to every detail! Her line work is out of this world. I already have two tattoos from her and am looking forward to many more!“

“Chris laid down the craziest portrait for me. We had a long full day session, mid day he even grabbed lunch for me. I can’t stress enough how dope this shop is. Not only
The work and environment and staff just the entire process. After the tat he had it all cleaned and wrapped properly. And the healing process has been very simple. I can’t wait to get back in for my next piece!!!! Chris is def the goat!!!!“
