Hand of Glory Tattoo

I’ve been tattooed by both Kate and Mike and get compliments on my tattoos everywhere I go. I had gone to several different tattoo artists all around CT, NY, and MA but as soon as I found Kate I’ve never seen anyone else since. I’ve been getting tattooed by her for 6 years now and still make a 3 hour drive to come see her because her work is beyond phenomenal.

She’s done almost all of the work on both of my sleeves and started on my legs now and I love her vision for how to place each piece to look like a cohesive sleeve. She is able to take any concept I have and create it in her own distinct style and I would trust her with absolutely any design.

The shop is also amazing. It’s beautiful, clean, easy to find, and the staff is so friendly. I am so grateful to have found them and recommend the shop to everyone.

Hands down the best tattoo shop in Brooklyn. Ive gotten almost all of my tattoos don’t by various artists in the shop that were available for a walk-in. 17 tattoos later whenever I come in I’m not worried about who the artist is or if they are any good. My most recent artist was Dave. I came in for a snake tattoo around my wrist. After briefly consulting with him he suggested a change in placement since there isn’t much available skin on my right arm. We decided to have the snake coming down my arm and wrapping around a skull tattoo (previously tattooed at the same agoto), also he customized the snake vs using a generic reference. the end result is amazing! I love it!!. The snake ties all of my tattoos together and filled up a few empty areas of skin. I get compliments on my tattoos ALL the time! Recommend This shop 1000%

Took my mom for her first tattoo here! From calling ahead and speaking with the friendly, informative Audrey. To working with Kamal (Poison) the guest artist, both my mother and I couldn’t have been more thrilled. Professional, clean, and cool environment. Talented, attentive and generous artist. Everything was great. My mother got two pieces at once, and I got a tattoo as well. Was thrilled they took such great care of my mother for her first piece. Gave great feedback on placement. Printed several sizes to try out; and patiently worked with us both. Would highly recommend this shop and I’ll definitely be going back.

I was browsing through Google and their shop kept coming up. They had great positive reviews and their artists all have many years of experience. I’ve been there twice now in the past two months or so and both times I left their shop beyond content with both artists work. The first artist I got a tattoo from was Mike, which was on my hand. Dave was the second artist I went to see and got an equally amazing tattoo from. Making the appointment was a positive experience in it of itself. Whoever I always text and communicate with is always so responsive and attentive to make sure they get the best artist best suited for your tattoo idea. They’re just so informative and are always working with you to give you an amazing and chill experience in their shop. Which reminds me, I gotta hook this person who I’m always texting when making appointments up, because they help make each visit a smooth and professional transition. Highly recommend, I def have plenty of space on my body so I will keep going back to them in the near future as I’ve been doing so far.

2 lower lobe ear piercings by Jules. She was great. Professional and caring, clean and efficient. Shes easy to talk to. She listened to me and also giving good advice. The atmosphere of the shop was relaxing and comfortable - so much cool art there. the piercings healed up easily.

I had a great experience getting my first tattoo by Kamal at Hand of Glory. I wanted a symbolic (to me) very simple fine black line wave. The entire process at Hand of Glory was easy: I emailed for an appointment, they worked with my schedule to pair me with a tattoo artist, I sent in design ideas and then arrived with a different design, which they quickly pivoted to. The shop was pleasant, everyone was friendly, and they took great pains to keep everything clean and sanitized for the tattoo process. If I ever want another tattoo, I will be back!

Had a great experience here! I was tattooed by Dave, and it was my first ever tattoo. Will be back here if I get any other tattoo ideas.

I got my first tattoo here (walked in on a Monday, was seen almost right away). Jim was an excellent artist, very calming and chill. The work he did was stellar and I am already thinking about my next one and booking directly with Jim. One of my worries with my first tat was discomfort, but I was almost asleep on the table! After two days my tattoo is barely sore (inner arm) and looks great.

I’ve gotten most of my piercings done at their sister location The End is Near but came here recently for a nostril piercing and my experience was just as great! Super friendly and helpful staff (my piercer was Jaymes and he was awesome). Highly recommend!

Just want the internet to know what a fabulous place this is to get a piercing. Staff is SO NICE and so knowledgeable. Jaymes especially has such a good eye for placement and is so helpful for picking size of jewelry (he told me the jewelry looks so much small on the display and HE WAS SO RIGHT I’m so happy I went with his recommendation of picking the smallest stud for my nostril piercing). Their jewelry selection is impeccable. I will keep coming back !
