Arboreal Ink - Tattoo and Piercing

Arboreal Ink is in my opinion the BEST shop in Buffalo. I have been to a few parlors, never fully happy with the work I received. Then I went to see Greg at Arboreal Ink, and he was beyond amazing, his work so detailed. He is SO talented. I have gotten so many compliments on all my pieces. I refuse to go else where! The shop is clean, very accommodating. Very classy, and the employees are VERY kind. I received a few piercings from their too! Their piercing artist Brittany, is so patient, kind, and FANTASTIC at what she does. Very thorough with her work, cleaning, set up, after care, and all! They have a wonderful business, with very kind good people. I would recommend it for anybody! Any age. They make you feel very comfortable, and so welcome to everybody! LOVE LOVE LOVE this shop. Other business could learn a thing or two about customer value from them!

The owner, Greg, is really friendly and easy going. Also very easy to talk to and very open-minded about ideas. Excellent artwork all around the studio and Greg also has a very steady hand and keen eye, don't let his age fool you! The piercing artist, Brit, also has the same demeanor as Greg and is very knowledgeable about the whole field of piercings. They're very welcoming and openly answer any and all questions you might have. Oh, and I should also mention that they're very clean and sterile about EVERYTHING, so no worries there either.

This place was amazing! i got a piercing and she took the time to explain everything that was going on. showed how everything was sterile and not open. she also gave me the option to see the needle or not. i really appreciate how professional she was. she took care of me from beginning to end! highly suggest!

Greg is a great artist. Listens to your ideas of what you want as a tattoo. Works up a fantastic version of your idea. His bachelor of fine arts is a great asset to his work. He's done four beautiful tattoos for me. I've had so many compliments on them, people always ask where I've had them done. Gladly tell them Arboreal Ink ...and ask for Greg.

I got my nose pierced twice here. The first time took longer than the second time, because the girl explained every step and the why for everything and I loved It cause I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t feel any pain just a little discomfort with the fact of having something in my nose which is normal. When I got a bump I just had to call her and she told me what to do. Second time I came back exactly same process but way faster. The girl that does the piercing is a sweetheart very very nice. Highly recommended, very professional.

This was My first time getting a Tattoo, and like anything that you've never tried before, there was some apprehension about how much it would hurt, what the environment would be like, and whether or not I would be treated like an idiot.
Well, I can assure you that it is a very clean, and laid back environment. The artists there are very down to earth, and funny people, and Kit, the guy who did My Tattoo couldn't have been cooler. He is a super nice guy, very down to earth, and a heck of an artist.
I couldn't be happier with My Tattoo. It's actually better than I thought it would be.
So anybody who is considering a getting a Tattoo, I would highly recommend them.

Greg has been doing my tattoos for 4 years now and has always done an amazing job. He also did a cover up for me and you can't even tell there was a tattoo there before. He always amazes me with his art work when I leave the shop. ALL of the ARTIST are very friendly and make you feel at home. I would reccommend them to anyone!

I went here to get a piercing done that I had wanted for months. It was a 3 tier cartilage piercing. Brittney was the one who did it, and she was extremely informative and professional. I had been calling around for months and all the other local businesses prices were extremely high. This studio is affordable, clean, and very professional. Out of all the piercings I have ever had this by far was the best experience. I will not go anywhere else to get pierced as long as I live in this area. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is searching for the best around!

Thinking of having a piercing done??? THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE TO CONSIDER!!!!! Trust me. The quality and professionalism delivered here is fantastic. I had a naval piercing done at another "shop" and it was totally botched. Brittany took the time to look at it and work with me until the area was healed and healthy enough to re-pierce. She has even called me to see how everything is going....which is fine by the way. Oh...did I mention cleanliness???? Everything is autoclaved and completely sterile, sorta like the dentist office....lol!!!! All I can say is Arboreal Ink is truly the best in all areas. Don't waste your time, money or risk your health by going anywhere else.

Bad Experience. While the shop was very clean, my piercing went horribly. It actually needed to be done twice due to Britt's mistake. I understand that the rook is a tighter spot to pierce and may be a more difficult procedure, however, it should not have taken 2 tries and a bloody mess for a "professional." My rook was pierced very deep in my ear that i actually had it taken out by Anna at the Cow Pok because it would've taken way too long to heal. Overall a scary and unprofessional piercing experience. Would NOT go back.
