Best Tattoo Shops In Rochester

“I recommend Forest Ink 100%. This was my first professional tattoo and I am delighted to have had such a good experience. Yanna opens the needles and such right in front of you so you have peace of mind about sterility. Additionally, her work is absolutely beautiful. She is friendly and easy to talk to, and made my first tat a comfortable experience. The prices were wildly inexpensive, and Yanna is incredibly talented. Thank you so much!!!!

Cleanliness: Yanna opened needles and other supplies in front of you, insuring that it just came out of sterile packaging.

Stylist: Yanna is incredibly talented, and just simply cool. Willing to chat or work quietly, and neither felt awkward.“

“Absolutely wonder! Spenny did an amazing job making sure I was comfortable during the entire process especially because it was my first tattoo. Explained the process to me and let me take breaks whenever I needed to. And Spenny was also very helpful during the healing process letting me know he would do whatever he could to help.

Cleanliness: Deep cleaned between each tattoo throughly, as well as keeping the station clean during the tattoo process no matter how late it got“

“I got my first tattoo with Emily. She did an amazing job calming my nerves and making the entire experience amazing. She also gave me the most beautiful tattoo and it was even better than I could have ever imagined.

Requested style: I requested my dog’s paw and birth flowers. She brought them together perfectly.

Cleanliness: Very clean.“

“If you are looking for a conscientious artist who listens to what you want, has patience and skill- this is the shop to go to. Joe is incredibly friendly and accomdating. Spent many years looking for a tattoo artist that can translate what I wanted and do it artistically. I plan to do many more tattoos with Joe. 5 stars!“

“I got two tattoos from Brittany and I love her and her work. She's very comforting and always reassured me that it's okay to ask for something to be changed. Both pieces that she designed for me exceeded my expectations and she put so much effort into making sure everything lined up perfectly. I don't even live in Greece anymore but I think the drive will be worth it for any future tattoos. Thanks Brittany :)“

“I had work done by Toby. World class artist and what a decent person. I had to cancel and reschedule a few times and he was nothing but understanding. I sent him the design I wanted and he nailed it. Placement was on my left side abdomen and Toby had a very gentle hand with minimal discomfort. He took his time and piece was perfect. We had great conversations and he’s not just a fantastic artist but also a true gentleman versed in many informative topics.The shop itself was extremely clean and the ecstatics were both comfortable as well as trendy. It’s a top notch experience over all. Thanks again Toby and Old Friends Tattoo. Looking forward to my next appointment in March.“

“I have been in three times, two new and once for touch-ups. My designs were interpreted by Natty so well; they were taken to a new level. She is personable, easy to talk to and her shop is the right level of eclectic art. I really felt listened to and comfortable there.“

Whenever I am asked or see someone looking for a recommendation, I always say Gina at Revive. She’s great at what she does and is always willing to go above and beyond to help her customers get an apt time that works for them. 100 out of 5 stars for me!“

“I've had the pleasure of getting two pieces of art done by Dave. A custom Funko Pop design and another of Chucky. Both turned out beyond amazing. The shop itself is impeccably clean, smells great, and has such a welcoming atmosphere.

Dave and his wife, who I also had the pleasure of meeting, are some of the most down to earth, loving, and caring people I've ever encountered. As an artist myself, I deeply appreciate Dave's commitment to cleanliness and professionalism, which he holds to the highest standard.

I couldn't be more pleased with Dave's work, and I wholeheartedly give him a 10/10 recommendation. I would absolutely do business with him again in a heartbeat. I would like to say thank you for the incredible experience to Dave and his team.“

“My experience with Love Hate Tattoo was amazing!. I had an idea for what I wanted and Benton exceeded my expectations. He walked me through the process, was professional and fun to work with. A few of the other artists and owners stopped by to say hello. They are a fun bunch of people! If you’re looking for a place with great people, a great atmosphere and commitment to their customers then Love Hate is definitely the place.

Cleanliness: It’s very clean and the environment is welcoming.

Stylist: Benton is great to work with fun to talk with and is a very talented artist.“

“It was a wonderful experience! The studio is clean and comfortable, and I liked the atmosphere. Brianna was my tattoo artist and she is amazing! She listened and helped me through getting my first tattoo! I was nervous, but she was able to make me feel at easy and comfortable. I felt listened to and that my opinions mattered. I felt that I could express my thoughts and they would be heard. This was my first tattoo and Brianna was very gentle and helpful throughout the whole experience. I would definitely go again and recommend Easy Tiger Electric tattoo to anyone who wanted a safe environment and an amazing tattoo!

Cleanliness: They took cleanliness very seriously. I felt the environment was spotless. Brianna made sure the areas she was going to tattoo was clean and where I was going to lay was clean. This was only one of the aspects that made getting tattooed felt really safe.“

“Requested style: An abstract mix of an elephant and an upside down trinity knot that mimics the shape of the head. The animal is being created from wet ink drops, and the trinity knot is formed from the Hebrew words for the father the sun abs the holy spirit.

Specialties: Sean is a master at adaptation and artful depictions. He nit only made my vision real, but improved it in every way.

Cleanliness: He wipes between nearly every stroke, shaves you thoroughly and ensures that you're clean available remain that way throughout. He replaces gloves often and sends you out with a tegaderm to protect the image for a few days, then gives instructions on after care.

Stylist: Sean. He is the only lesson in the world I would let tattoo me after my experience and seeing other artist's work. He makes decades long professionals look like rank amateurs.
He's friendly, conversation if you want to be, but won't force a dialogue.

I like to say now that my parents put me in God's view and kept him close to me.
Now. Thanks to Sean, God rides on my back, protecting and improving what has been a very difficult life.

My parents put God on my shoulder, and Sean mounted him beautifully in my back.m where he will ride forever.“

“Marli pairs both artistry and professionalism with her craft. She's patient, kind and *sanitary*. I won't be going anywhere else for future piercings. Thank you Marli, 100/10 recommend y'all!“

“I went to extreme graphics a couple weeks ago. I had got a piercing out of town that was done totally wrong. I went in and sniper said oh no that has to come out, Devon and Tori( I think that's her name) jumped right into action. They were EXTREMELY nice and knowledgeable. Tori ended up finishing it for me. She was such a pleasure. She walked me through each step and even let me squeeze her leg Lol. I haven't had an issue with my piercing since. I can't wait until I'm able to change out my piercing. I'll be going right there to get my jewelry. I highly recommend them. It's so clean and nice in there. Only thing I didn't like was the dog lol I'm petrified of dogs. But they didn't let him in the shop area. Being professional and having great customer service skills is important to me and they exceeded my expectations!!! Thanks guys“
