“I had a half-sleeve done by Caesar about 8 years ago. I had done research all over NYC, but after doing a consultation with him and going over his approach/design, I knew he was the best artist for what I wanted. He is a black and grey photo-realism master! He's very precise, takes his time in getting all that detail to give your tattoo that "pop"; Caesar is truly one of the pioneers of black and grey tattooing in New York City, and his work speaks for itself. The customer is a part of the whole design process, this way you both are on the same page of how it will turn out and the direction he is going. He is very professional and easy to talk to, and he is truly passionate about giving you the best tattoo that he is capable of. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a custom one-of-a-kind work of art that you will proudly wear forever. I get compliments on his work literally every time I wear a sleeveless shirt in public. Hail Caesar!!“
“After months of research for a fine line artist I came across Sovereign Gallery & Tattoo and really loved their work. I had gone down to meet and discuss my ideas with Thomas Bork and he heard me out on my thoughts, ideas and hesitations. I had a cover up piece so I knew it could potentially be a tricky feat. Thomas made me feel so comfortable and his confidence to achieve my vision settled my nerves. Not only did he cover up my existing tattoo but he created a floral piece that was both delicate and beautiful, exactly what I wanted to walk away with!
The shop itself is an atmosphere you want to be in. All the artists work together and hype each other up. Multiple times during my session others would check out his work and praise his talent. They truly lift each other up and wish success for one another which speaks to the atmosphere in the shop. You are truly welcomed there with genuine and friendly artists.
I will 100% be back to Sovereign Gallery & Tattoo for another piece and am recommending their work to all my friends and family.“
“They were great. I’m old (54!) and a first time tattoo getter and they were super welcoming and professional.
Naomi, The Sweet Lil Tattooer, did my tat and it was exactly what I wanted.“
“Fine line / micro thin tattoo without having to drive into the city! Darwin did his thing.“
“I had a great experience while getting my belly button pierced here. It was quick and easy and has healed beautifully. I recommend Burning Phoenix for your piercings.“
“Caesar has been tattooing me for several years now back when his shop was in alphabet city nyc....his art speaks volumes...the detail in the art absolutely crazy, when I first met Caesar & I was visiting the shop meeting up with him trying to figure out what I really wanted for my sleeve there was always 4 - 5 people standing around watching him work ...turned out they were professional tattoo artist he was teaching his incredible realistic shading technique too, which nobody was doing...so that was all i needed to see..so yeah this the guy I def wanted to tattoo me...
He's dedicated to bring your design to life..
He did my sleeve ..90% finished with neck tattoo & already been complimented several times already on the street..when that's finished we'll start on the other sleeve...“
“If you are contemplating lip blush- go ahead and do it with Alyssa. Not only is she talented and very informative about lip blush, but she is a kind and welcoming person that you will trust a hundred percent. I had my lip blush done recently and all my concerns and questions were addressed. Her space is so cute and peaceful. I was falling asleep throughout the lip blush process. Alyssa took her time to make sure my lips looked great and I am so happy with the result. I am going for a touch up soon just because I want to be extra. I have already recommended many friends and family. Go ahead and book with Alyssa!“
“Life has finally given me something that I immediately had to permanently tattoo on my body. Not for anyone else but myself as a reminder when I lose faith I need to remember how truly "Blessed" I am always and I finally get the message. Byram ink made my first and probably only tattoo that would ever mean what I needed it to, a wonderful simple instant reality.“
“Alex is the best artist out there. You give him your idea of what you want and he comes back with it 100 times better than you can ever imagine. I've had 3 pieces done by him in the last 4 years and they are all amazing and still look great .“
“Will is an incredible tattoo artist who will bring your artwork to life! Will is very knowledgeable and professional and always has your best interest in mind. His shop is very clean and is friendly and zen. I look forward to getting more ink from will as his work is impeccable and unmatched! PS. And affordable ?“
“Was looking for shops by me and saw this spot had great reviews. On top of that, this place stuck out to me because he is 24/7 and can text the number on his website anytime. Very unique and a nice touch since nobody else offers that, and is appointment only. I appreciate the hustle very much. As for the tattoo- we went back and forth over text on a Sunday night at 10:30 pm. Fit me in the next day, and the tattoo came out great of course, even though it was just a quick one. I will be back!“
“I contacted them through instagram to get a simple tattoo, with the word “purpose”. They replied, and said they were available at 5pm for walk-in. I went, and immediately loved the place vibes ? ? . The guy Mike welcomed me and did my tattoo, he was really nice :). Overall, I had a very good experience, and will be coming back!“
“Shells is a very talented artist. He knows what he’s doing, and he understands what you would like and executes the idea perfectly. Please see photo reference for a butterfly he did for me.“
“Calm and relaxing environment. He is a Funny person and that helps take the pain away. I went here for a ear piercing and it was fast and painless. Professional piercer and great prices.“
“Hey do you guys do body piercings ? is so i wanna get the industrial piercing and how much$$“
“Personally, if I recommend it, I am not happy with my tattoos. A very cool service, both the artist who tattooed me and the other people there (other artists). A clean, relaxed place, good service, thank you Lupita's tattoo, I will be back soon ?☺️☺️ “
“I recently got a tattoo done by Tayah, and I'm soooooo happy with the result. She took my ideas and turned them into a masterpiece that exceeded all my expectations. For the last few weeks, I've been receiving many compliments on my tattoo, and it's all thanks to her incredible skill and artistry. Tayah is a talented artist, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to get a great tattoo.“
“Ben is amazing ! He did two very important portraits for me and did wonderful on both. The quality is wonderful and they both came out looking exactly like them. (Selena & Aaliyah). I would never go to any other shop other than house of ink ?? The prices are also very fair! Unlike other shops, I have not needed a single touch up from any tattoo I have gotten here. I can’t recommend them enough!“
“Hands down the best experience I've ever had at a tattoo shop. Clean, comfortable and the art is phenomenal. Definitely worth the trip. I will be returning.“
“I got my third lobe piercings and a helix piercing done by Cam and it was such a good experience. Cam had such good energy and talked me through the whole process. Everything was very clean and easy. It really didn’t hurt as bad as I thought it was and I love the way my piercings came out. Definitely coming back for more. Thank uuu“
“This is an all female run and owned tattoo parlor with get customer interaction by the owner herself. They do custom work and I recommend them.“
“Best service i’ve gotten from a piercer. Savanna is the best piercer ive come across. Everyone’s really professional and clean. She’s always welcoming and warm even during the piercing process she makes sure that you’re comfortable, safe and ready. Her process is the easiest and her station is always being cleaned and sanitized. I’ve received Over 10 piercings from her including ear, belly, and nose piercings. No piercings that i’ve received from savanna has ever gotten infected and her half off piercing sales are a great way to add to my piercing collection.Her piercing assistant as well was very gentle and communicated through her entire process making sure i was okay. The whole shops environment is really an eye looker all the art and wonderful colors. The other shops tattoo artist David is also very nice haven’t had any services by him but always cracking funny jokes and making the environment light and easy. Would recommend coming here for a proper Needled piercing.“
“Went to get a piercing. This place is a hidden gem without doubt. It’s worth coming here. I got a flat piercing and they don’t even hurt after a few weeks. He made it effortlessly painless.
However if you’re coming here and you can’t handle stairs it might be hard since the entrance is actually downstairs. Other than that I don’t really have any complains. There’s TV in the waiting room. I will say when I came there was a strong smell of weed. If you can’t stand that either I don’t what to tell you.“
“Lorraine is so incredibly talented and her personality totally put my nerves at ease. I am soooo glad I had my eyebrows done. Not sure why I waited so long to to this. I love the results. The entire experience was so wonderful. I highly recommend Lorraine. You will be so pleased by the transformation.“
