Reviews of Village Tattoo NYC

Jenn Rodriguez

Happened to meet Chris (one of the artists) and Mark (the shop owner) as a walk in two years ago and it was a match made in heaven. The shop is so accommodating with my crazy schedule and my needle phobia and I am so honored to say Chris has become a trusted friend through this process. He is always open to discuss art and collaborate on visions, and offers really great suggestions when I have questions about placement, style, or how things will age. I’ve now gotten 13 tattoos with him, brought family to him, and I’ll continue to recommend friends to the shop. I feel like family there. Make your appointment today!

Randomly found, last minute booking but I couldn’t be more happy!! My tattoo artist was very helpful I can say he knows his craft well! We got matching tattoos with my friend and we left satisfied! I also got my nose pierced and I barely felt any pain! Highly recommended place!

Nina Chohan

This is probably the only place in the city I will ever get piercings from now on, and the only place I tell people to go get pierced. I've gotten pierced here multiple times by both Dez and Mooshu. They're both so great, always make me feel comfortable, always so clean and sure to tell you exactly whats going on. The front desk staff are super chill. They always make sure to thoroughly explain after care. Prices are very reasonable, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, not intimidating as some other places tend to be.

Bella Perea

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! Chris and Dez were INCREDIBLE!! I got a hip tattoo and my friend got a cartilage piercing and seriously guys…. 1000/10. I would coming here every time!! I’m so happy with the process and the people!! Thank you Village Tattoo!! ☺️

Diane Kim

My go-to piercing shop in the city! All of the workers are so kind and make sure I'm comfortable every time I'm there. The owner is also very informative and doesn't try to upsell you on anything unnecessary. They're extremely clean and quick!

Got a nose piercing today. Everyone were very friendly. A man at the front helped me select my nose jewelry and was really nice. Dez was my piercer and very nice and helpful aswell. He even gave me free sea salt spray which i otherwise would have had to buy. Overall, nice place and would recommend.

Veronica Preciado

Get pierced here by Mooshu! The staff created a great environment and experience. It’s all the little details that turn a walk in into a long time customer. They were: welcoming, polite, kind, professional, sterile, funny, and thorough! I came in with my mom was immediately greeted by a lady at the front desk who was welcoming and professional. They were able to take me as a walk in for a Rook piercing. I was given paperwork to sign that was clear and pricing was also explained. I opted for a Titanium piece with a stone. It came to roughly $60 including tax. Within minutes Mooshu was ready and guided my mom and I back. Mooshu was kind and kept us laughing the whole time. He answered all of my questions. He explained every piece of equipment on the table and its sterilization. The piercing itself was quick. The pain was mild, and Mooshu warned me every time I may feel discomfort. He was thorough and made sure I was happy with the result. If I’m in NY again, I will gladly return.

Jasmine gamal

The service and tattoo artist was great, really patient and works through with you. It is a bit pricey though, they didn’t discuss pricing before hand, and while my tattoo took 5 min or less to complete as it was just three numbers and less than 1inch in length and width, I was charged $105

Benjamin Romanelli

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 I'm 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.

Holly S

I got my first tattoo here. I was nervous about it, but everyone immediately made me feel relaxed. Jimmy was outstanding! I definitely plan to go back and have him do another tattoo for me. I highly recommend Village Tattoo.

Erika Enlund

I love this place - the staff is so chill and kind. They are incredibly clean and cautious. Have gotten tattooed and pierced here. They are now using the new backings for nostril piercings which has been great to heal so far!

Ace King

So I did something super crazy and decided to get both my nipples pierced ! I saw really great reviews about this place and decided to come here for the piercing. The cons would be the interior is small and there are steep stairs to go down for the service but overall my experience was very pleasant! The guy who pierced me was super funny and chill and didn’t give off any bad vibes the entire time which I greatly appreciated. Each nipple was $55 because I got titanium jewelry but if you get steel it’s $45. I highly recommend this place because they care about the customer and are attentive to your wants and needs, they explain very thoroughly how to care for your piercing after and provide the cleaning products for a fee if you want to buy from them. I’m definitely coming back for any other piercings I want done !

Jazmyn

Very friendly people. I've only purchased earrings for my healed piercing that I didn't get done here. The earrings are so good, I have sensitive skin and have gone to other shops to get earrings and have gotten infections or irritation. The rings here don't give me any problems and are well priced!

Lenny Yaller

I’ve been tatted by both Chris and Jimmy and I can say they are two of the best artists I’ve ever had tattoo me. The whole staff is amazing and so sweet. They really make you feel comfortable and are so patient with reapplying the stencil as many times you want. You gotta go here.

Josh Rockwood

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!!!

Noelia Morillo

Amazing experience. Best friend and I came in as a walk in and we were treated soo nicely! They were super accommodating, especially it being our first tattoos, they were super patient and explained the process. Super clean and amazing people. Will be coming back again soon!!

Elise Melito

Chris was my tattoo artist, not only is the line work on this seriously like perfect!! (I have other line work based tattoos that are not nearly this good!!) But he was SO nice from start to finish. Absolutely amazing experience and would definitely go again.

Elizabeth Thompson

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. We've 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.

Kevin Qassemzad

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.

Devynne Parfait

I came a few months ago and had a great experience with Dez for a conch & rook piercing. I just went in a second time for a navel piercing with Mooshu and had the same pleasant experience. Both piercers took their time to explain everything to me beforehand, took the piercing placements I wanted very seriously (which I appreciated with Mooshu specifically because I've had my navel pierced twice before and wanted it done through the same exact holes), and they both took aftercare instructions very seriously as well. I didn't feel rushed regardless of how many people were waiting and both piercers had a calming demeanor which I appreciated very much! I refuse to go anywhere but here for my piercings now.

Lillian Chong

Love this place! I’ve gone to get both of my tattoos here and my girlfriend just got hers here as well. Trustworthy, respectful, responsible, kind, they’re great. I highly recommend

Fernanda Tovar

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. I'm definitely coming here again for future tattoos.

Michael Kelly

I’ve been here a handful of times: first to get my ears pierced, then to get gauged stretched out. Mushu was always working, and he was super friendly and made me very comfortable. Everyone in the shop was nice. Great experience overall.

Gabi Sussman

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 doesn't want to make any compromises when it comes to safety.

Alysson Lafferty

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!

Noa Gurvis

The only piercing shop I'll use in NYC, after many years and more than 5 visits of exceptional service. Mark at the front desk is always welcoming and efficient. Yolanda and Mooshu are fun and friendly while keeping their workspace professional and clean. I always feel comfortable at Village Tattoo; even when I get a bit spooked by the needles, they are there with kind words and - yes, even in my 20s - a lollipop to soothe the sting.

Dolly Decosta

This was my second visit today & I must say I’m so Happy I’ve found this place!! I got my second tragus done by Dez! He’s the BEST and makes you feel comfortable so before you know it your piercing is already done lol... This is definitely my spot for piercings. In addition everything is clean! Sterilized! And their Jewelry options are amazing! I recommend this place 100% , will return soon!

Mia Remplewicz

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!!!!

P F

I got my belly button pierced here recently, and I couldn't 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!

Alice Touraine

We just left this shop with my boyfriend after getting a tattoo and the experience was absolutely great! The staff was super nice and caring with us, the tattoos were very well done, the prices are the most attractive in the area. A place I highly recommend!

Bekah James

Very attentive staff real cared for someone who reacted poorly to a piercing. It was very sweet. I had work done by J. English and he did great work with a calm and soothing demeanor.

Mini D

Love the staff, they make you feel like family!!! Jimmy and Mooshu are the best. When looking to get tat, Jimmy is the best and when looking for any piercing Mooshu is your guy! Make an appointment to see either, you won't be disappointed!

Geo A

I had a great experience getting my pride rainbow tattoo at this place. The tattoo artist was very friendly and the design came out great. Prices are also very reasonable.

Alicia Y.

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 Mark's granddaughter Mila for being born literally today!! :)

Samantha Sepko

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!

Mesha redzematovic

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!

Hester Liu

Just got my first tattoo here! Jimmy was amazing:) it's 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 didn't mess up any line. Professional

Éloïse B

I had the greatest experience ever ! Everyone there was so nice and Mooshu, the piercer, was super professional and explained every step of the piercing process. Also the price range is more affordable than in any other place in NY so it’s great ! 100% recommend !

Annabelle Singaram

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

Chloe Parsons

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.

Feven Araya

Mooshu was such a pleasure to get pierced by. I got three piercings at once on my right ear (rook, conch, and tragus) and trusted him to use his judgement for placement. He didn’t mark anything and was so smooth with his hands, I barely felt any pain. No discomfort. Will definitely come back again!

Brittney Gyles

I LOVE the people there. There so chill, warm and inviting. They've looked after me and my piercings since 2014 even if I didn't originally get it from the piercers there. This is my latest tattoo from the artist named Jimmy. He does exceptional work! He's done 2 of my tattoos. I'll definitely be coming back! Check him out for sure! 🧡

Salma Youssef

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.

Nyla K

I am over the moon! I just got my 3rd (and 4th) tattoos here last night and they're just perfect. Chris has been doing my tattoos since my first one last year, and he is wonderful. He's polite, he listens, and he really goes out of his way to make you feel super comfortable. Not to mention that he's 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 don't know how he manages to make the tattoo look a million times better on me than in the sketch, but he does. It's 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! I'll only be going there!

Clare Lyons

I've 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 I'm always thrilled with whatever I get done. Couldn't recommend more highly!

Mia Delamar

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.

Libby Spriggs

Lovely people and great work. I've been getting tattooed here for 4 years and I have had the pleasure of being tattooed by Jimmy, Chris, and other artists over the years; all are wonderful and talented. I recommend this shop to everyone I know.

Deborah C

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. I'm 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!

Sophia Di Mattia

Got my 1st tattoo done by Jimmy, a smaller piece on my wrist. He's 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. There's nothing more awkward than having to stand mostly shirtless in front of someone you've just met but, Chris was extremely respectful and polite about it and I felt quite comfortable. His work is also phenomenal and he's 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!

Matthew Glover

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. I'll be coming back again for my next piece.

Dwayne Brown

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 💪🏽. I've had work done in many countries and I'd choose these guys in a heartbeat. If you choose these guys you're in great hands. Were I not travelling back to the UK tomorrow I'd be going in for a sixth 🙌

Jianni Burnett

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!!!

Ari Bennett

Getting my ears pierced here (third lobe) made me realize how bad the last piercer I went to was. No discomfort, healing has been super easy & Dez was greattt

Ky

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 it's 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 can't recommend it enough. Thank you!!!

Marian Zennie

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!

Natalie Alexander

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!

Jerica Deleston

This place has some of the most polite artists I've 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!!!!

Christina Rivera

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!

Elisabeth Stein

Highly recommend! I went in today on a whim to get my nose pierced and Sam was so helpful and did a fantastic job on the piercing. My friend also got her first tattoo done, and the artist (didn't get his name?) did such a great job with placement/sizing and explaining the process to her. The studio is clean and the staff are friendly! Couldn't have gone any better.

Sam L

The people at the shop are friendly and helpful. They ask you every necessary question before moving onto the tattoo. They always give you the best price for the best service. The tattoo artists are extremely talented, experienced, and good with many different styles; I had Jimmy do my first tattoo and it came out phenomenal! Will be coming back again for my next one!

Michelle Kay

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

Madeline Bryant

Absolutely AMAZING! the staff was like family, my tattoo artist, Chris, really cared about my comfort and opinions, and the price was great for the quality! The facility was sanitary and safe, and I couldn't be happier with my tattoo! I got a matching tattoo with my friend, who had passed out due to low blood sugar during it. They handled the scary situation quickly and SAFELY and my friend was unharmed thanks to them. I couldn't reccomend this place more! It's safe, priced right, and the people really know what their doing! Love them, I can't wait to go back!

Ashley Robertson

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!

nycfreakytitan

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.

Sophia Rogers

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!

Jennifer Ahn

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.

Katie Marina

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.)

Anna Baggett

This place is incredible! The atmosphere was wonderful, very comforting and understanding. I was late and it was not a problem. I don't 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 I'm ever in NYC again I'm definitely coming back!

J Philosophical

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!

Siobhan

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. He's 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. I've been pierced at places before that just don't 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 you're getting done. HIGHLY recommended if you're looking for piercing in NYC.

denise torres

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!

Sharon Shao

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!

All About Jackie !

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

Brittany Webb

I've never reviewed a place before but my mom and I were visiting New York and went here for tattoos and our artist was so ridiculously nice! I can't recall his name, I think I heard him called Jay? He was very informative and gentle and a pleasure to be tattooed by. He showed me the unopened needle and everything, super clean shop. Prices are extremely reasonable too! We'd gone to another shop and they wanted to charge $140 for my mom's tattoo, only paid $80 here and it was excellent work. If we're ever in the city again we'll definitely go back!

Michael Severe

Everyone was nice and welcoming. My visit was nice, quick and smooth.

Elizabeth Rouleau

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!!

Elizabeth DeFisher

Awesome place! My friend and I had a spur of the moment decision to get tattoos and looked places up on Google. We wanted a good shop for our first tattoos. This place was nearby and had great reviews, so we called to inquire about pricing and time (closes at 2am, we called around 12am). Fantastic price for quality, service, cleanliness, and a NYC tattoo parlor. Our artist was friendly, as well as all the other staff present and it was very welcoming. I would highly recommend you check this place out and if you're in Manhattan, you can't go wrong!

The staff at this shop goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable, which I really respect and appreciate. I have had three pieces done by the artist Jimmy and I have loved every outcome. He works efficiently and makes sure you're okay along the way. His linework is very admirable and he always delivers exactly what I want. The man at the front desk, who I believe to be the owner, always offers chocolate to make sure your sugar is up before you get the tattoo, and always looks out for my best interest and makes me feel like family. Cannot recommend this shop enough!

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. I'm so happy I did it. The piercing hurt for a few days but I received clear information to clean and heal it. Now it's 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 it's 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 !

I went in without an appointment to touch up a tattoo and had the best experience. Everyone was so friendly and easygoing. Chris did my tattoo and he was very nice and patient. Overall service was fast and reasonably priced- easily the best place I've ever been for a tattoo!

After reading positive reviews on google we visited Village Tattoo NYC, for a very small tattoo on the Friday of our September 2017 trip to NYC. We met with Jimmy, a very cool and calm guy from Queens. he went through everything and we had our tattoos within 25 minutes of walking through the door. We were so happy with the results, and Jimmy's service we went back on the Sunday for larger pieces. My wife went first and was done in about 50 minutes. I was next and took about 1 hour 45 minutes. The price was excellent, but it was jimmy that made the experience. All the staff are lovely, and we received a great welcome on both occasions. I will be back in New York Soon, and will be visiting again.

This is absolutely the best place to get tattoos. The staff is very friendly and inviting and the artists definitely know what they are doing. Jimmy did my tattoos and exceeded my expectations far beyond what I could have imagined. I love my tattoos as much as I do thanks to his professional handiwork. I traveled from Virginia to get my tattoos here and I would continue to travel whatever distance in order to come back. These guys do an amazing job at an incredible price and I'd recommend anyone wanting a tattoo to come here.

Tiffany Contreras

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 🥰

Becca Armstrong

Highly recommend them for piercings! Mooshu was amazing, patient and friendly (I'm a huge baby about thick needles). He kept me chatting and talked me through the piercing very professionally. Even showed me the expiration date on the unopened needle drop. Really great to know that an establishment takes pride in how they maintain their equipment. There wasn't a question they couldn't answer. Definitely giving this place high props and another visit!

Veronica Sandoval

An amazing experience! From when I walked, the staff made me feel really comfortable when getting my first piercings(double lobe and cartilage). I originally accompanied my friends to get their cartilage pierced because I was scared of getting mine done, but B the piercer was so friendly and professional that I came back to get mine done a week later for $35. During my appointment B made sure to clean her work surface thoroughly, show me the sanitized and packaged needles she was using afterwards disposing of them properly, as well as giving me a through aftercare speech. When my cartilage got a bit irritated I reached out to her on instagram and she gave me tips, regarding what caused the irritation which went away after a few days. B was super patient and understanding of all my concerns, even going the extra mile of checking up on how my piercings have healed. I have recommended her specifically, as well as Village Tattoo NYC to many of my friends and none of us have had a negative experience here. Amazing customer service and prices here, highly recommended!

Ciara Ungar

I have so far had two tattoos done with with shop and I absolutely love this place. The staff is super friendly, values their customers and treats them with respect. The shop is very clean and run very well. Both times I have gone in, I have been treated like a valued customers and the artist has been able to achieve the look I was going for. GREAT shop.

Update: I had a bad experience with Rising Dragon Tattoos. I don't 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 studio's 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 wouldn't mind paying for it, but the attitude of this shop made us think we probably need to look for somewhere that's a little friendlier.

Miriam Zerbib

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.

Sam M

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 can't 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!

Ann Webb

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.

Agnes Nugent

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.👍

Joe Das

One of the leading tattoo shops in Manhattan. The talent here amazing, and they are super professional. They will take good care of you and you'll come out impressed by a quality tattoo that you can show off. They are all great artists, especially Chris - who is among the best of his profession.

Annie Hosch

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!

Mr_3rdpedal

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.

Cassie Sykora

The staff are extremely friendly and professional, the knowledge the piercers and tattoo artists have is amazing, and their following of proper sanitary procedures is impeccable. I have gotten all my piercings done by them and they've all been in perfect placement and done as quickly and painlessly as possible. Highly recommended for new piercings and tattoos or learning more about tattoos or piercings before you decide to get one.

Rachael

I had a really great experience here. My boyfriend and I came here during our spring break to get tattoos. We came in with ideas of what we wanted and the artists did an amazing job of giving us exactly what we asked for. It is very clean and great vibes. Everyone is so friendly and the prices are very reasonable. If you're in NYC looking to get a tattoo, I highly recommend this parlor.

kenneth larkin

Hands down the one and only tattoo shop I will go to the staff here are like a second family to me now! They are extremely good at what they do and I have the utmost trust that when I walk in the door I will be taken care of from the consultation to after I'm done 5 stars if you're thinking about getting some ink or even a piercing don't hesitate to stop by. you're in good hands at this shop you might even see me getting another tattoo!

Lauren Albring

Yolanda was incredibly professional, she made my nipple piercings go very quickly and as painless as possible. She was friendly and made sure i was completely comfortable. She described the healing and cleaning process very well. Amazing experience and they look great!!!

brittany Brittany

This place is awesome! Came here as a walk in for my very first tattoo! The lady at the front desk was awesome and super friendly she even gave us some Halloween candy before our tattoo session! Also the tattoo artist was great and super gentle! I love my new tattoo! 100% recommend!

Sophia Beceiro

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!

Elisa D. C.

Went to get a nasal piercing readjustment that was done by another place from a few years ago. Was so impressed with the service from the time I arrived until the time I had left (which was a bit past closing time.) Incredibly nice, caring, professional, thoroughly informational, super-hygienic place & staff (I spoke to Mark by phone earlier before coming in), which didn't try to rip me off but instead only charged me for the products I purchased AND the piercer also used one of the jewelry pieces that I'd brought in that was purchased elsewhere. I cannot say enough except that I highly recommend getting piercings done or other services offered (tattoos) at this place ➕ there's a FAB selection of jewelry to be had. Keep up the fantastic work, guys!

Ghazaleh K

Very professional artists, not to mention very friendly. My wife did a tattoo on her arm and I didn't hear any complaints of the pain. It's 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.

Danielle Pacura

Stopped by yesterday to pierce my nipples. James was AMAzing! The place was clean, professional, and very reasonably priced. They took the time to explain all of the care, tips, and warnings. Felt very confident in the piercing experience and cant wait to watch these babies heal up. I would definitely go here again.

Paraskevi “Wula” Kalpini

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. It's healing great. Would totally recommend.

Ethan Sapienza

I went here to get my first tattoo, and the people couldn’t have nicer. Chris was my artist, and he was the warmest, most laid back guy, which made the process incredibly easy and smooth (especially since I was a bit nervous). Their pricing was good (got a design on that smaller, simpler side that took 15 mins and was $100), as other places nearby have a more expensive minimum. Highly recommend, and ask for Chris!

Samantha Weiss

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.

Madeline Gough

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

Damian Ewko

Loved the entire experience, before making an appointment I came to check the place out the staff was extremely friendly and pleasant. Two weeks later I finalized my design and made an appointment to get my tattoo. The tattoo artist (Jimmy) was very professional and made some outstanding suggestions. Definitely coming back for more!

Jillian Ciferri

Amazing little spot. Everyone is awesome! Just got my nose pierced by Yolanda and she's amazing! Not only is she super nice, but a great piercer. Shop is Extremely clean. Have also been for a tattoo, same experience.

C. Kinard

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!!

Helen Inirio

Absolutely love this place!! The staff is amazing & professional. They take their time making sure you will love the tattoo they are doing. Although the place looks small, it is cozy & very clean. I keep coming here all the way from NJ... fourth time and counting!! I'd recommend it to everyone!

Carrie Jessup

My best friend and I went into city with the sole purpose of getting tattoos. After going to one place we were very discouraged, however the second shop we went to was Village Tattoo and we couldn't of been happier!!! Not only did Jimmy do amazing work and was super nice, but my best friend passed out, and the whole shop was really cool about it!! This was my first tattoo and after this amazing experience this is the only place and I will go!!! Jimmys tattoo is way better then the picture we gave him!!

Jake Liebman

I've been going here for awhile now and I love it. Jimmy is an amazing tattoo artist who always puts in his best work and makes you feel comfortable while it's being done. Went back for another tattoo with the same artist and the experience was even better. I'm very pleased with Jimmys work once again did a great Job.

Anaheims World

Awesome tattoo shop for a first time tourist in New York. Very professional and clean and Vince did an awesome job I love my tattoo!! Price was very good for how expensive New York is! I’m from Utah and would definitely recommend this place for any tourist livin the life of New York. Thank you for the kindness you showed us and also professionalism and cleanliness of your shop! I love this place!!

Joscelyn Carroll

I've 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 I'd be more than glad to come here again for future piercings. Update: I said I'd 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 can't recommend these guys enough.

Mike Posternak

Updated as of 7/22/16: We had a bad experience here because of one tattoo artist. After three weeks of stress and anxiety we were finally able to resolve the issue. It was first brought to the attention of management. As soon as the owner heard, he brought us in and did all he could to help us fix the mistake. He was very kind, understanding, and apologetic. Jimmy the tattoo artist was excellent and professional. Overall, we just wanted to thank the shop for handling their mistake so well and doing all they could to help us. Will be back again soon.

Hannah Ehrlich

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

Jennifer Lopez

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

Jake Powers

Very straightforward, friendly, and clean establishment. The front desk staff was helpful with pricing estimates and getting us set up with an appointment, and the artists were personable and knowledgeable. They accept credit and debit cards, but you have to tip in cash. Call ahead to book a time slot. Will definitely come back here for another tattoo when I find myself in New York again.

Olivia Hagans

I come to New York often to visit friends here and decided to get my nose re-pierced. I walk in and everyone is very friendly and had me sitting in a chair to get pierced in less than 10 minutes. Mooshu was my piercer and he was very nice and positive, making jokes to make me comfortable even though i've gotten pierced before. He even looked at my friends piercing and replaced the jewelry and gave her recommendations for care since it was infected. I normally don't care to leave reviews but Mooshu was so kind to me and my friends I just had to! Would definitely recommend this shop.

Ashley

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. I'll be back!

angela theis

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.

Sabrina Ramos

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.

Michele Huffman

My best friend of 25 years cake to NYC for a girls trip with intentions of getting matching tattoos and after much research decided we would come here. It’s was a great choice everyone was great. Vincent was great and made us feel welcome and calm. We will definitely be back. Make sure u take cash to tip.

Steve Otway

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.

Gus Constantellis

I went in at 10pm on a Tuesday night for a tattoo and it was all done by 11pm. It was an amazing experience. I've never gotten a tattoo before so I was really freaked out. Chris, the tattoo artist, had such a comforting and friendly personality that I felt immediately. Highly recommend this place.

Claire Gogan

I had my ear cartilage pierced here. Dez the piercer was incredibly professional, kind, and had a calming presence. The place is spotlessly clean and the staff are friendly. I also liked that all of the piercing and tattooing is done away from the front desk area. After writing my initial review, I decided to go back and have an industrial done. This time, Mooshu was my piercer. He was also extremely professional, calm, and had a good sense of humor. I highly recommend Village Tattoo.

Angelik Martinez

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 !!!

Andrew Kim

Do not let the small size of this tattoo shop fool you. Its is amazing! Everyone there is chill and professional. Jimmy in my opinion is the best tattoo artist there also coming from many other people in the reviews. Most of the reviews seem to be about how great Jimmy is. Not to discount any other artists there. They seem skilled as well. I gave him an idea of what I wanted. It wasn't even a solid sketch and he made it into a masterpiece. I gave him a 10 dollar tip that I didn't need to give him. Would have gave him more but I was on a budget. It was just that good. He exceeded my expectations. I would give them 10 stars if I could. The service is amazing. They need a larger shop so that they could do more people because I know they are about to get tons of more customers in the near future. They make you feel right at home and they gave me some things like a water bottle(it was a 5 hr session) and care supplies for the tattoo. A big thank you to Jimmy and the employees at Village Tattoo. You will definitely be seeing me again.

Tanja Hasslinger

Did my Tattoo there two days ago, it’s a very small and thin one on my foot. It was my first tattoo so i was very nervous. The service was great. They were able do it right away and the artist did exactly what I wanted I just needed to show a picture. The place is really great and I would recommend it, I‘m very happy with my first tattoo, couldn’t imagine it better! Thank you :)

Shakila James

I randomly wanted to get a piercing one night & googled piercing spots on October 14, 2018. They were the only spot open late so I took a chance & went. When I arrived I was greeted as soon as I walked in. I’m big on customer service being that I work with the public myself so I loved that. It wasn’t forced & seemed super genuine. The piercer working that night was Mushu. He was super sweet, made me laugh & made me feel VERY comfortable. He was super clean, very educated on piercings, the healing process of piercings and great with suggestions on what he thought would like nice on me. That night I got a double nose piercing done (I’d only come in to get a regular nose piercing but he sold me on the double and it looked amazing on me). Since then, I’ve gotten 5 more piercings done by Mushu and I’m in love with every single one. I’ve also had a friend come and get a piercing as well and loved it. I’ve been getting piercings since I was 15 years old by many different piercers & Mushu is literally THE best piercer I’ve ever had. Friendly, respectful, not out to pierce you just to get you for your money, super educated on piercings & CLEAN! I can’t stress that enough. If you want a piercing for a great price with amazing service, this is the shop in NYC to go to! You won’t be disappointed. The best in NYC.

Savannah King

I had an amazing experience at Village Tattoo and felt like I had to write a review because of how great it was. I have wanted to get my nose pierced for years, but kept talking myself out of it because I was a little nervous about it. I finally decided that I really wanted it done and after reading all of the amazing reviews for Village Tattoo I decided to get it done there. I walked in and was greeted by a nice guy who asked me to fill out some paperwork and to see my ID. I picked out my stud and then was introduced to the piercer, Mooshu, who was hilarious and made me laugh the whole time. He even let me hold onto his monkey stuffed animal because I was so nervous. All of the piercing materials were super clean and sterile and I felt more than comfortable getting my piercing done there. The piercing itself took no more than a few seconds and I barely felt anything. It was crazy! The piercing has healed wonderfully and I don't even notice it's there. I really attribute all of this to Mooshu and his piercing skills as I have heard that nose piercings can be super painful and take forever to heal. I can't wait to go back in a few months to get my jewelry changed out! If you need a piercing and are in NYC, get it done at Village Tattoo. Believe me, it's definitely worth the trip. You will not be disappointed!

Samantha Stevens

I could not be happier with the work Jimmy did on my arm. I had originally came in for flowers that grow where I live to start my sleeve. After I saw how amazing they turned out, I came back the next day for more work. From the minute I walked in the door to the very end, I was met with friendliness, knowledge, professionalism, and cleanliness. I wouldn't hesitate to send my Grandmother here. Even down to the communication and willingness to be accommodating, my entire experience was phenomenal. Jimmy is not only a talented artist but his ability to see the bigger picture helps to ensure that the work is what you want. I am so stoked to have found these guys and excited to have Jimmy finish my sleeve.

Hind Alawadhi

Place is clean and they sterilize everything. Got a nipple piercing and didn't feel any pain. I would definitely go again and would recommend. They also gave me a paper of how to take care of it and some cleaning products to use

Brion B

This place is awesome. I got my tongue piercing done here with my best friend and Mooshu made it so much fun. He made a lot of jokes and it was done quickly. As everyone else said they take the time to explain aftercare and they are all friendly. I'm definitely going here again. 10/10 would recommend

Marie Woodson

Jimmy is a ROCK STAR. He made sure my tattoo was exactly what I wanted. The whole staff is friendly, personable and professional. The space is super clean. Prices are very reasonable. I'll be returning for my piercing.

city tsar

Excellent experience getting a tattoo here today! I had an idea in mind, but the tattoo artist helped bring it to life in such a creative way that I couldn't be happier with the results. Everyone was so friendly and the interior was so clean and inviting. I would definitely recommend stopping here for true artwork and intricate design.

Katie McCracken

I was extremely impressed by the professionalism shown by all 3 employees that were there when I came by. Alex was the one who assisted me and I found him to be very knowledgeable and fun! He really made my over all experience GREAT! I will definitely be going back to Jokers! I highly recommend this place for piercings and jewelry!!!

A Caffarel

Chris gave me the best service and tattoo work I could have asked for, my tattoo looks exactly like the drawing I brought. The staff is helpful, pricing is fair, even though I was a drop in I came out very happy. If you want a high quality tattoo I recommend Chris

Madeline O

After looking around my friend and I decided this was the place to get her nose pierced - and we were right! Alex was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. He suggested products without pushing one or the other and gave us as much time as we needed. The piercing/tattooing area downstairs was wonderful. It was cut off from street noise and everything looked super clean and professional, so you immediately felt safe and comfortable going down there. He explained before he did it, and went over everything we needed to know as well as giving detailed care instructions and not just giving us a paper with them (which they provide as well). I plan on getting a tattoo in the future and I would make a special trip to the city just to come back to Jokers!

Jessica Thomas

Walked in last night 2/28/15 with 2 friends to find out about getting tattoos later on in the evening. We gave our ideas to Jimmy who said he would get everything all set for when we returned. We went back about 2.5 hours later after we had dinner and just like Jimmy said, everything was ready when we got there. 3 of us got tattoos - Jinko did 1 and Jimmy did 2 including mine. Both guys was nice, funny, and great tattoo artists. Everyone that we talked to that works there were very welcoming and overall a nice bunch of guys. My friends and I are planning to go back next weekend for more tattoos. I highly recommend Village Tattoo NYC!

Jah Snugg

Clean place, quick performance & painless. I went to Village Tattoo for ear piercing, actually starting out for ear stretching, where I had the procedure done by Mooshu (I hope I got his name right). He was an awesome professional in making it happen. We walked through the process & before I knew it, the piercings were done. Overall, I'd liken it to an infant lightly pinching my ears. I would continue to come here to continue the stretching process, for sure.

Kyle Geissler

Wow, wow, wow. Got some work done by Chris on May 28 2018 and had an incredible experience. Meticulous attention to detail, a calm demeanor, and incredibly friendly; never once got annoyed at my nervous smal talk or frequent clarifying questions. The front desk folks are attentive, helpful, and highly accomodating of walk ins. I got there at 7pm and was told I would be seen by 9pm, so I walked around the park for a bit. They called around 8:15 and I was in the chair by 8:30. An amazing experience and some of the fairest pricing in the city. My third tattoo and by far my best.

Suzanne Small

I highly recommend them. They are knowledgeable, efficient and have a great collection of pierce ware. My friend was so squirmish about needles but Yolanda made us so very comfortable. Our ears piercing was a breeze!

Leah Hall

I got my tattoo here and had a wonderful time. It was my first tattoo and my artist, Chris, made me feel so comfortable and at ease. I asked for a lot of specifics and he accommodated every one. I will definitely go back in the future!

Shruti Garg

Absolute Absolute Absolute Absolute best place to come to get your tattoo. From earlier this year when i got my first tattoo till my 7th recently, this place has become a second home and the people there family!! After working with Jimmy, the tattoo artist, for the first time where i was cautious on the placement of my tattoo and the look of it, i no long worry about it. I throw ideas at Jimmy once in a while and he is the best in giving me the perfect placement and designs for my tattoos!! i will travel across the globe to get inked only by Jimmy. The place has some amazing people; my best and friend and I often go there just to shoot the breeze. There is absolutely no way that you haven't been there for a piercing or a tattoo if you are in NYC! they are the place to be and only a short walk from the station. Love Village Tattoo NYC!!!!!! p.s. i definitely started a shrine in my house to this place! :)

Mayar Menawi

Mooshu and Mark are awesome. I come here for all my piercing needs. They are extremely cool and have a relaxed environment. They know the proper way of cleaning and taken care of piercing and tattoos. I highly recommend them !

toadstyle101

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.

Leea Phillips

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.

Lizzy C

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.

Chace

Mooshu was very straight forward in guiding me through the piercing and telling me what he was doing. He made sure to show me the sterilized needle, and answered all my questions about the piercing. They also taught me how to take care of my piercing and gave me the things I needed to do so. I've had three piercings done by him, and I will continue to visit

Rose Murphy

Whole staff is Professional n knowledgeable. Jimmy is an amazing artist. My first tattoo ever and I’m happy. It looks great and I’ll be back to finish my entire tattoo.

Oz Oz

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.

Erica Dohmen

I haven't had a lot of experience with piercings, but that being said I will ALWAYS go back here if I want to get another done. The place is extremely professional and accommodated me immediately even though I was a walk in. I'm an anxious person by nature, but Mushu helped me feel as comfortable as possible and it was all over in less than 20 mins. I got 2nd lobe piercings on each side and a cartilage, very quick and very little pain. I'd like to get a tattoo at some point too and you can bet your last dollar I'll go here for it. Prices are also very reasonable, especially for the quality of service. TLDR; go here for any body work you're looking to get done because they'll do it right.

Julie Lee

My friend and I came here twice (for lobe and cartilage piercings) and both times the staff were super nice and efficient. They gave us a discount on aftercare when we were there for the second time because they remembered us from our first time there! I'll probably be going back soon to get another cartilage piercing. Definitely recommend this place!

D Bagadia

Loved the way the artist Alphonso did my tattoo. just one thing make sure the design is exact. Mine is near perfect but i loved it Very good customer service Very neat and clean Hygenic The whole staff was very cooperative and patient to attend us even after it got busy.

Aditi Gupta

I highly recommend them as I got my first piercing here and everything was done very methodically and I was made aware of each and every detail involved. I appreciate their patience in walking me through ask the questions I had.

Moriya Barber

Very clean and professional. Yolanda pierced my ears, and she was really great. Also not super ridiculous prices like some other places(everywhere else I looked was over $50 per peircing!). Definitely recommend.

Andrew Ziemba

I can't even begin to explain how clean and inviting the staff is here at Village Tattoo NYC. I've just recently got my fourth tattoo there and could not be anymore pleased. Jimmy English is a great tattoo artist and if you want ink of any kind, you must must must go to him. I will be back soon.

Lue Morey

Came in on a rainy Sat night and these people were awesome. Couldn't have been treated any better. Big thank you to the manager and artists Francisco Brown, Alfonso Ramirez and piercing artist Mooshu. Everything was professional and clean. Even gave us some water. Always appreciate the fine touches! My daughter and I will definitely be back! Thanks again guys!!

Emma Ar

Very clean and professional! After my breast piercings, I was so nauseuses after the procedure. They were so nice after and gave me unlimited water and chocolate to make me feel better. I felt so taken care of and I was so happy with the service! I highly recommend this place

ashley drakes

i got my septum pierced by Muosha. I was scared at first but he was super friendly and tried to make me laugh. He was really informative about the process. It was really easy and I didn't feel any pain. He explained the aftercare really well. I paid about $38. A great experience because some shops cost $40 for the piercing excluding the jewelry. I would go back again.

Alyssa Mayonnaise

got my first tattoo on a part of my body where I read would be very painful but Vince was great. Got it done in less than an hour with as little pain as possible and it looks great. Also, the staff at the front desk (I believe they were the owners) are very friendly.

Nick Ades

I've had several tattoos and piercings done at Village Tattoo, and I reccomend this shop to anyone who asks me. The staff are extremely personable and professional, and they're always willing to take the time to do what they do to the highest standard. I'll definitely be returning to these guys for more in the near future.

Lance Lawson

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

Elvira B

This is the only place I'd go to to get my piercings done! Love had two lobes done today, it was fast, easy, clean and professional. The staff is always so welcoming and friendly and really knowledgable .10/10.

Korinna Kirchhoff

Went by for my third nose piercing after mishaps with the other two from other locations. Mishu (?) was so kind and emphasized the importance of how to take care of it for the next 20 weeks. Looks fabulous and like I was born with it. Thanks for being so accommodating and professional!!

Nicolle Martinez

I had Yolada pierce me. she did a great job of explaining things both prior and after, she made me very comfortable, and it was overall a great atmosphere. the guy at the counter in the front also did a great job of explaining the differences between jewelry but maintained that every thing was ultimately my choice. area was spotless, all items were fresh and new. Yolanda made sure to show me all instruments were in their packaging and sterile, and then showed me that she discarded of them in an appropriate sharp item biohazard trash bin.

R F

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.

Zachariel Govad

I adore this place, I originally went there to get a small infinity tattoo in my arm as a first timer, sadly since I have eczema they had to decline, the guy in the front explained to me the dangers and told me to first get tested with my doctor, have a note written and come back whenever I want to. I was so happy with how responsible they were that I decided to get my belly pierced [Something I had years thinking about doing.] Mooshu, who did my piercing, was really funny and kept making me laugh. At first I was nervous, especially since I hate needles but thanks to him I was relaxed and didn't even feel it when it went through....and I have a pretty low pain tolerance. At the front, since he knew that I have sensitive skin, they walked me through what piercings I could or could not get and the reason behind it, I thought I could get Sterling rings but it turns out thats incorrect, only sterile ones which are designed for people like me. The receptionist warned me to choose one that I really like since I can't remove the piercing for 4-5 months since thats the proper time needed to heal. During the piercing time, Mooshu walked me through it, I love the fact that he showed me the unopen needle, had me read the expiration date and open it in front of me. He explained to me in detail what he was doing and why, I didn't even know that my belly button was considered small and thus had to have a specific belly ring, through the process Mooshu kept making me laugh and distracting me, all I felt was a little pinch, like when someone pinches your arm and then it was done, I was shocked! I had gotten my belly pierced once when I was young almost a decade ago and it had been painful as well as unpleasant. Once done, he let me see it and then explained to me in detail how to take care of my piercing, included in the price [Which was 65$] was my care package, it would have been less but I wanted a bigger size, they also gave me a copy of the instruction, all which was color coordinated, orange meant no [Even drew an X on top in orange to remind me] and green meant yes [Drawing a happy face on top to remind me], he gave me a high five and told me to see him in a few months to check up on my piercing due to my condition. Bring cash to tip them! I tipped them with money and also some sweets and juices. I am planning on going there for my tattoo once I am able to and also for more piercings if I end up wanting any. I recommend this place to anyone. Usually I don't bother with writing reviews but this place deserves it. Sorry to make this so long, to show just how responsible they are I'll say this; There was a girl ahead of me waiting for a piercing, the guy in the front [Really wish I had asked his name, he was super nice!] advised the girl that she shouldn't get it just yet because she had recently gotten one on the opposite side and he informed her that it was best to wait in case she got some type of allergic reaction or infection it would be on just one side, she had gotten that piercing elsewhere. At first she was unsure but he was so friendly about it, even saying and I quote "Money is not what is important to us, we want you guys to be safe and if that means not doing something for you tonight and waiting then we will do that." After thinking about it, she thanked him and told him that she would come after the time he advised her to wait and that she would only go to that store because of how responsible they are. Alright, I'll shut up now. Below is a picture of the care sheets and products given to me.

Michelle DiVincenzo

My brother and I just got our first tattoos this past weekend. We both had Jimmy and he was absolutely phenomenal! We are both thrilled with his work and will absolutely be returning for more in the future!

jerome bacon

Went in for my first tattoo and the staff definitely made me feel very comfortable and helped me stay calm while waiting for the tattoo artist. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone here in the city looking to get piercing and or high quality tattoos!!!!

Angel Phoxx

This Place Is phenomenal !!!!! Not only did I have the best piercing experience in my life, my piercer Mooshu made all three !! Yes Three piercings look great!! My first piercing was the Targus, I was really excited about getting both of my ears done, however the owner Mark gave me his best professional advice and explained to me that only one Targus ear piercing was done at a time. The reasoning for this was so that you are able to sleep peacefully on at least one side your face. The fact that Mark showed extrem empathy and concern about ensuring I enjoyed my piercing really made me feel good about coming back for my second ear. Now Mr. Mooshu !! Is by far the best ever. Of course I was nervous getting my Targus but his warm friendly personally put me at ease and I was able to go through that piecing in a snap. Now !! My nipple was a whhhoollleee other story ! My singer had convince me to go forth with this piercing and Im not going to lie I was extremely nervous cause my nipples are my babies and I wanted to make sure they were good. Not only did Mooshu talk my nerves down but he was also soooo patient with me. Omg I know he was ready to kick my butt by the end of the 60 seconds LOL. Once everything was down the staff offered my some sugar. From Susan the beautiful and freindly front desk young lady, to Mark which I'm sure is the kick ass owner and Mooshu who mows has a Client in me for LIFE !!! Thank you so much for marking my piercing experience amazing!! See you in two week for my second Targus ear piercing ! <3<3 <3

Lanay Mitchell

This review is long overdue, but I want to say thank you to Mooshu for a wonderful, informative, and entertaining visit. I had concerns regarding the healing process, but Mooshu was very patient and very informative. He calmed me down by making me laugh. The aftercare instructions were very thorough. The visit was very professional, and the piercing was done in a reasonable time. Thank you!

Nick Forte

i don't know who pierced me, but he was so cool and all the equiment to pierce me was brand new and clean. he opened everything in front of me and he honestly made me feel so relaxed. only $35 for a septum and it was honestly painless. would totally recommend !!

Lauren Kranzlin

It was not my first time getting a tattoo but for some reason I forgot to breathe 3/4 way through and almost fainted, like blood rushed out of my head, face turned white, and almost puked. They took such great care of me and were so amazingly kind. Definitely would recommend and return.

jami jacobson

Have gotten both a tattoo and piercing here and will book more. Staff is very communicative, patient and does a great job with their work. Takes walk-ins for small pieces/ piercings from what I gather.

Emy Alf

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

Ricardo S Perez H

Wonderful little shop. It’s clean and they are very professional. If you want a little tattoo done just ‘cause you feel like it, they have reasonable prices. I will consider them if I want something bigger done.

Leeba Erlbaum

I went there today to get my naval pierced and it was a great experience. The staff was efficient, friendly, and professional. I had was in and out quickly, but they made time to explain aftercare and answer my questions. I would definitely recommend.

Janita Young

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.

Jenise Washington

I am very pleased with my tounge ring. I was able to eat regularly and move my tounge in 5/6 days. Slowly chewing and rinsing religiously. My nose ring. Well this is my second one. The first, I didn't like the placement. The second came out as I washed my face about 7 days later. I was able to pop it back in. However, because I bent it. It came out of my nostril and I was not able to keep placing it back in. Now I don't have a nose ring, after 2 tries here😞

Katrina Francis

I came here for a few piercings. I was nervous and unsure if I wanted to do all of them, but Yolanda was very calming and professional. I would definitely recommend Village Tattoo for anyone looking to get a piercing!

Denii G

Came in to get a piercing and the service was amazing from the girl in the front explaining how it was gonna work. Yolanda did the piercing and she did well with showing me the new needle talking me through the whole process as well as the aftercare

Mona Boewe

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!!

Frankie Prokop

Epic! Jimmy English is truly a master artist. The shadowing on my tattoo is flawless, the outline is fine and steady. Jim and I had spoke over the phone and via e-mails coming up with the perfect tattoo, a Ghostbuster piece for the ages. He created a few renderings and ideas. After a few days we agreed on the tattoo I have today. This tattoo is my 5th and is also my largest by far. He was professional and also encouraging while i was losing my will during the final shading phase. I end with this. The parlor is clean and professional, I felt comfortable and at ease while being "operated" on. I flew from North Carolina to New York for this tattoo, and for my next one I will be making the same trip. Thanks Jimmy English and Village Tattoo NYC for the best tattoo experience I've had.

Sandra Antzoulis

Would highly highly recommend! Got my belly button pierced and it was quick, easy and painless. The piercer was very thorough and explained everything prior to piercing me as well as nicely explaining the aftercare. Will return :)

Jennifer Anderson

I looooove the staff at Village Tattoo they are always welcoming and informative about tattoos and piercings. I had a problem with my nose piercing and Mooshulu fixed it for me and made me feel so safe and welcomed. I had an accident with the piercing he fixed initially, I ran from work and had him fix it for me because it started to close and scab. Needless to say, I only trust him to do my piercings and help me with any of my future piercings. Please go here and tell him Jenny sent you!!!

Virginia Ortiz

As soon as i walked in i felt welcomed. Their customer service was on point. Thanks to yolanda for piercing my septum...it doent even hurt at all!!!!! Plus the aftercare instructions very informative! I can't wait to come back!

An Vu

Got both a small tattoo and cartilage piercing done in half an hour. Yolanda and Alphonso, who took care of the piercing and tattoo respectively, were thorough and friendly. Would recommend and the online booking system is convenient, too.

Thomas Lampshire

Look no further you have found one of the best parlors in NYC. No lie from the second I walked in the customer service was 1000% amazing. Yolanda is the bomb we love her and my Artist Chris rocks. Took his time and did a beautiful job. You can't beat the price for New York. This is the place !!!

Kai. A.

I received a tragus piercing here. The process was so quick it was almost like it didn't happen. The staff was so kind and professional. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get a piercing or tattoo done.

Dashna Compere

I had such an amazing experience here! I did all my piercings at the village tattoo NYC shop. The staff treats me as if I am family. They are friendly, clean, and highly educated. My favorites are: Jnco, Mooshu, and Mark! GO TO THEM!

Andrew Pankey

Absolutely great people! Got me in really quick and done in a flash! Chris was amazing, I really recommend them!

the sun

The lady who performed my service was very pleasant and I was satisfied with the result and appreciated the aftercare instructions given. However what I was charged for the aftercare products was exorbitant so I'd suggest buying your H2Ocean and Provon soap before you go.

Di Zhang

This is my GO TO spot for all of my tattoos in Manhattan. I've got 10 tattoos done at this place (I only have 11 on my body) and all of them are amazing. Everyone is so friendly here and they really take care of me esp when I have any questions about the healing process. Two of my fav artists are Jimmy and MJ. Jimmy's hand is magical. He did all the straight line on my body and those lines are on point. MJ is like a tattoo artist / illustrator to me because the magnolia flowers she put on my left arm are so real and so detailly beautiful. Sometimes I get compliments from random people from the next table at the restaurant and I literally told them to go to Village Tattoo NYC because it's the best. If you are still reading my review, you should go get a tattoo or piercing now hahaha. - Di

J

Jimmy gave me an amazing tattoo. Staff and owner are all very nice and prices are good. Definitely recommend this tattoo shop and will be going back if I ever need a tattoo while I'm in NYC.

Andrea Lemieux

We were touring NYC for the weekend and they took great care of us. They were able to quickly accommodate a walk in and gave us friendly & professional service for both piercings and tattoos. Thanks guys!!

Ashley Blackman

I went here to get my nose pierced and even though I was freaking out, I had a great experience. Mooshu was the best, he made me feel very comfortable and had me laughing enough to calm me down. Very happy that I went here!

I'm super excited!!!!!!! The shop was very clean and well put together. I felt like I was at home. The offered me beverages and all. The pricing was a lot at first but the manager worked with me and I was very happy about that. A lot of shops have set prices and won't work with you, they rather you walk out. Not here they will make sure that your satisfied and very comfortable. Thumbs up! #DopeShop #DopeArtist #DopePrices

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

Ruth Elias

I just got my first tattoo here, and it was a great experience. My tattoo artist was Vince and he did a wonderful, mostly painless job, and all of the people who worked here were very friendly and helpful.

This was 100% the best piercing experience I’ve ever had. First off everyone was so nice ! They lady up front & owner were extremely helpful and kind. My piercer Mooshu was a10/10. I came with my friend to get my nipples pierced and I was terrified. He had so much patience,and pierced them perfectly. The pain was a 3/10..wayyyy less than I expected. My friend and my sister already told me they want to come to him for any piercings. 10/10 would recommend.

(Translation) I came to New York on vacation and to celebrate the end of the year I decided to have the septum I've been dreaming of for a long time! After a thorough research I came here because it is highly recommended! In fact they are wonderful! Sure you made the best choice! Very kind and welcoming, they explained to me calmly and making sure that I understood everything, being Italian! They told me the price, explained how it's done and made me sign the clear documents! The guy who did the job was quick and did absolutely no harm, just a pinch! It put me at ease and calmed me down! Once the job was done I was explained how to go about the healing and products (having 10 other ear piercings it wasn't necessary but they were careful and it was appreciated)! The place is clean and quiet! The jewels are perfect for implantation and of good quality! If I went back to NY and wanted to get another piercing I would definitely do it again! (Original) Sono venuta in vacanza a New York e per festeggiare la fine dell'anno ho deciso di fare il septum che sognavo da tanto! Dopo una ricerca approfondita sono venuta qua perché molto consigliato! In effetti sono meravigliosi! Sicura di aver fatto la scelta migliore! Gentilissimi e accoglienti, mi hanno spiegato con calma e facendo in modo che io capissi tutto, essendo italiana! Mi hanno detto prezzo, spiegato come si fa e fatto firmare i documenti chiari! Il ragazzo che ha svolto il lavoro è stato veloce e non mi ha fatto assolutamente male, solo un pizzicotto! Mi ha messo a mio agio, tranquillizzandomi! Finito il lavoro mi è stato spiegato come affrontare la guarigione e i prodotti (avendo altri 10 piercing alle orecchie non era necessario ma sono stati attenti ed è stato apprezzato)! Il posto è pulito e tranquillo! I gioielli sono perfetti per l'impianto e di buona qualità! Se tornassi a NY e volessi fare un altro piercing lo farei sicuramente da loro nuovamente!

Hatte am selben Tag noch einen freien Termin ergattern können und habe mir ein kleines feines Tattoo stechen lassen. Das Studio war sauber und die Dame und die Herren am Tresen waren mehr als zuvorkommend und freundlich. Ich habe mich direkt wohlgefühlt und fühlte mich willkommen. Das Tattoo wurde sehr filigran und mit einer Leichtigkeit gestochen, sodass ich kaum etwas spürte. Bin mehr als zufrieden! :-) (Translation) Was able to get a free appointment on the same day and got a small, fine tattoo. The studio was clean and the lady and gentlemen at the counter were more than accommodating and friendly. I felt right at home and felt welcome. The tattoo was done very delicately and with such ease that I hardly felt anything. I'm more than satisfied! :-)

(Translation) A great experience. I was scared since it was my first tattoo, and it couldn't have been better. James tattooed me and the girl who served me was lovely. From 10. (Original) Una gran experiencia. Iba con miedo puesto que era mi primer tatuaje,y no pudo ser mejor. Me tatuo James y la chica que me atendió encantadora. De 10.
