Artistic Point Tattoo Company

I got my first tattoo done by Nate at Artistic Point a few days ago and my experience was amazing. Nate suggested ideas to make my tattoo better and the tattoo itself turned out beautifully. The after care suggestions seem to be working great too. He was very friendly and made the experience enjoyable. Would highly recommend!

I went to Artistic Point Tattoo Co. after reviewing all of the local tattoo shops in Ithaca. I was most impressed by Nate and the work he has done. His artwork is amazing and he is able to do so many different styles. I went in on a Tuesday and had my tattoo done two days later. He drew up my idea (a quote) and it was absolutely beautiful. He is very professional, extremely friendly, so clean, and his shop has the most amazing artwork all over the walls (many done by Nate himself). He is a great guy to have a tattoo done by. He asks questions, makes sure the design is exactly what you want, and is a perfectionist (which is a great trait to have when it comes to permanent ink). I am so happy with my tattoo and plan on going back for more pieces done by him. Nate is an amazing artist and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants an excellent tattooing experience.

What makes this place special is not only the artists' abilities, but how welcomed and comfortable you feel when you walk in. The shop is clean & bright, with original artwork all around. The artists know the job they're doing, and love doing it; and it shows. My artist was 'Pretty' Ron Wilson, who unfortunately has moved, but will be coming up for visits, I would highly recommend booking him when he is available. But, Nate is there too and he has such a great personality, they're both amazing; as artists and people. You simply WILL NOT find a better place to get your first tattoo, cover up, fix up, addition, you name it, this is the place.

Nate did a beautiful stained glass tattoo for me recently. He took the pictures that I gave him for inspiration and designed something that put all of my favorite components of each of the pictures together. He did the outline in one sitting and I had that for a few weeks to let it heal. People kept stopping me when I was out and about to tell me how beautiful it was! It only got better when he added color. It's a perfect tattoo and Nate is a great artist. The whole process was easy, friendly, and resulted in a tattoo that was absolutely what I was hoping it would be!

If you are looking for a tattoo in Ithaca, Artistic Point is definitely the place to go!

I got my first tattoo today from Nate. The experience could not have been better. I came in with my 19 year old daughter and she got a tattoo from Ron at the same time. Both artists were friendly, knowledgable, and good at what they do. I was really impressed that it didn't hurt. It's a few hours later and there is no redness at all, it is amazing! The shop was so clean and pleasant. I will definitely be back. Thanks!

My friend and I just got our first tattoos here. We thoroughly researched where we should get them done and Artistic Point had so many good reviews. The shop was very clean and well kept. The people who worked there were very trustworthy and knowledgeable about what they were doing. 100% recommend to anyone interested in getting a tattoo. Ask for Dave!!!

I literally stopped in yesterday, talked to Nate about what I wanted, and he immediately offered expert feedback on the right skin zones for aging, sizing techniques, and design assistance-- all in a very polite and casual manner. I had my appointment today and he presented me with a handful of versions that he had worked on based on my original artwork-- all neat and defined and ready to go. And he still welcomed any changes I wanted to make and made sure I was getting what I envisioned and wanted. I watched him clean everything, and was completely comfortable for the entire session. Conversation isn't awkward, and even if you're getting a painful tattoo, there is SO MUCH cool stuff on the walls to distract you :) My tattoo was on my ankle, he made sure everything was in the right direction-- he basically asked approval before each next step and again at the end. I went in excited and left happy, and really did not have any nerves! He's a super chill guy, but you can tell he seriously knows what he's doing, both artistically, and with the skin and body. Plus, I don't think many people can say they laughed while getting inked! Definitely recommend, I was a first-timer and I'm excited to work with him for my next idea or two. I've gone with a lot of friends to get their tattoos done at different places over the years, and this atmosphere was probably the best balance of formal and relaxed I've encountered.
So overall- cool guy, you get what you want, and you get it done right. I honestly have nothing negative to say. Check him out :)

Super friendly and great first tattoo experience with Ron. I was a walk in client and had no problems with the staff that was currently there. He immediately quoted me a price after showing him what I wanted and was tattooing me at least 15 minutes later. Super friendly staff overall, Ron made conversation throughout the whole process making me feel comfortable. He had no problems with changing the position of the tattoo in order to make it perfect in my eyes. With the tattoo being on my side, he was able to talk to me while giving me the tattoo to distract the pain. Overall for my first tattoo experience I was impressed and would recommend anyone to go to.

The first time I went to this shop was with a co-worker when she had her appointment . I was impressed with how fast the artist worked and how clean the lines of her piece looked when it was finished. For that reason I chose to go there when I was ready for another tattoo . Nate worked with me to tweak the design to look it's best and I didn't have to wait very long to get in to get tattooed. He worked fast and was very easy to talk to while the work was being done . I am beyond pleased with the final piece and would 100% recommend this shop to anymore .

Beyond satisfied. Nate nailed the look and feel that I was going for, and then some. From only a few reference images, and a conversation. In addition to the overall professional artistic composition, the attention to detail is remarkable. Plus he’s a cool guy to hang out with if your going to be stuck in a chair for a few hours.
