I stumbled on Electric Lotus when I was getting my first tattoo. Now 3 years and 15+ tattoos later and each and every one of them has been from here.
The owner, Jae, is an incredible artist. His craft and care for the work he does is apparent every time you're there. Whether you're a long time customer or a new face fresh off the street, his warm personality makes you feel welcome at all times. The time I've spent there is reminiscent of a favorite bar, or a barber shop. Good people, good atmosphere, and good times always guaranteed. Electric Lotus has that same kind of energy.
I couldn't recommend this shop more to anyone looking to get a tattoo. I plan on coming back here as long as I live in New York, no questions asked.

One of my best friends and I spontaneously went to get matching tattoos on a Friday in February. She happened to pick Electric Lotus based off of the positive reviews online. Every step in this process, from calling them to the healing of the tattoo itself, was a great experience I'd recommend to anyone.
First of all, we picked a stereotypically "basic girl" design. Neither of the tattoo artists responded judgmentally (at any point during our interactions). This was nice in the moment, but even more impressive after seeing their portfolios online. The complex designs they are capable of would make me conclude small, fine line tattoos were beneath them. Nonetheless, they were nothing but professional the entire time.
Secondly, since the timespan between idea to get a tattoo and getting our estimates was about 45 minutes, I started to get nervous when the stencil was placed on my ribs (should mention this was my first tattoo). However, Anthony made me feel extremely comfortable, explained the process before starting, helped me control my breath and it was honestly not that painful (again, I'm a tattoo newbie, so take that with a grain of salt). Since sharing this story with a few other tattoo-ed friends I've realized this narrative is more rare than I imagined. Many of my friend's first-tattoo stories were sprinkled with scare tactics at the walk-in shops they frequented. So happy that didn't happen to us.
Lastly - after getting tattooed - I've watched a billion Inked YouTube videos. The main themes of these videos is that (1) tattoos are art and the investment is worth it and (2) do your research. In hindsight, I should have done a ton more research considering the possibility/reality that tattoos poorly done can heal terribly when the quality is not there. Thank God I lucked out on this shop, because my tattoo was barely itchy in the healing process, never scabbed, and the lines today look nice and clean. My parents always told me "Tattoos are like chips, you can't just have one" and after my experience at this shop I definitely believe that to be true.

Just want to start off by saying Jae Conner is an amazing person! He was very patient with me and made my idea into a tattoo that I absolutely love! The shop is clean, including equipment, very calming with some good music and cool decor. I highly recommend coming here for the best service and good prices.

I first met Jae when he was located in Boonton, NJ. When he moved to Brooklyn it never occurred to me to find a new artist. I only thought cool now I can get an amazing tattoo and hang out in Brooklyn. I always receive compliments on my pieces and you can see the difference between the one tattoo I have that was not done by Jae. When people ask me where they should get a tattoo I happily tell them Electric Lotus and offer them an escort to Brooklyn. Not only is Jae super talented he is professional and great guy. If I could give 100 stars on this review I would.

I have 3 amazing tattoos from Jae. He did exactly what I asked. They are growing older with me and still look as great as they did when I was a younin. 😁😁. He is not only a great tattoo artist, he is an artist period!!! His artwork from his paintings to snowboards, his teeshirts and totes. I have one word Perfection!

Jae and Anthony are incredible and very talented artists! The both of them are very patient, comfortable to be around, and will give you their honest opinion. Also, the shop is always clean, quiet, and the vibe is great. You will leave the shop completely satisfied each time.

Jae is a fantastic artist a true professional of his craft. I've gotten 3 tattoos by Jae in his shop and each one has exceeded my expectations. He is thorough and makes the whole experience a pleasure. Jae keeps his shop immaculate. For those new to the tattoo world or if your a salty vet, I'd definitely recommend you go see Jae.

What an awesome shop. Jae is like an old friend. He was amazing from the minute I sat in his chair until I left. The studio is spotless and the tunes we're on the money. My Trinity Knot has gotten so many compliments! If you are thinking of a first piece, consider Jae. He has a light hand and a great demeanor. Something I have not found in any other shop I used. He was a real pleasure and I will be back. Thanks Jae!
