Artistic Point Tattoo Company

I've now gotten four tattoos from Nate (my first four) and am extremely content with the overall experience. Nate is a really friendly guy who worked with me to optimize my ideas and come up with some great designs. Being a tattoo newbie, I appreciated that Nate was willing to offer me advice and artistic input on placement, colors, line width, and care to help my tattoo be as good as possible. I'll be coming here as long as I'm in Ithaca and recommend you do too!

Artistic point has great vibes and great art work. All of the artists there are great people, especially the owner Nate. I came here for my first tattoo and told Nate my ideas. Nate went above and beyond and made my ideas into something I could have only dreamed of when I saw the sketch. Nate brought my tattoo to life and I couldn't have asked for a better tattoo, I'm glad I went here. If anybody is looking for a great tattoo that you will be happy with, go to Artist Point here in Ithaca NY. I highly recommend it. Go see Nate!

I had a wonderful experience with Ron at Artistic Point today! I gave him a reference photo and he drew up a gorgeous design with exactly the detail I wanted. He was friendly, funny, kind, and so talented! The shop is very clean, has artwork everywhere, and has a great vibe. Ron is a great artist and person, and I’d ask for him if you decide to get your tattoo from AP :) Thanks Ron!

I had a wonderful experience at Artistic Point Tattoo Company, and with my first tattoo nonetheless. I had been searching for an artist in Ithaca for awhile to give me a tattoo that I'd had planned and wanted to choose exactly the right person. I knew immediately upon meeting Nate that I wanted him as my artist. Nate sat down with me after only five minutes notice on my part and discussed the design I had in mind, what parts would translate well and what might potentially be negotiable. He had an amazing grasp on the way that designs on paper translate onto the body, and stressed to me the importance of size and placement so that the art flows with the contours of the body. On the day I came in for my tattoo, he had several different design options drawn up for me and discussed each option with me. He gave very clear direction from the beginning of the process to the end which greatly eased the process of my first tattoo. He was friendly through the whole thing, easy to talk to, and made the three hours in the chair seem like nothing! During my tattoo, several people came in to inquire about tattoos and piercings and Nate was increidbly kind and helpful to each person. The shop was nice and clean each time I came in and the decor in the shop is amazing - a lot of it is Nate's own work! It was all around an amazing experience and I am over the moon with happiness over my tattoo. It ended up being better than I had ever imagined and I will defiintely go back to Nate for my next tattoo. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for an amazing artist in Ithaca and an awesome experience overall!

I went to Nate for my first tattoo last weekend. As nervous as I was, Nate made the experience relaxing and comforting to me. I went with my friend as well who got a tattoo behind her ear. Nate and Chris made us laugh throughout the time we were there, which definitely lightened the mood. Nate was very professional and talked me through my small tattoo I got on my side. I am definitely not an expert on tattoos, but he seemed to be very light handed and it really was quite relaxing! I would recommend anyone looking for a first tattoo or 10th tattoo to go to Artistic Point.
Thank you Nate & Chris!

My overall experience at Artistic Point Tattoo was fantastic. I was able to make an appointment quickly and professionally. The tattoo I wanted was of a complicated map subject and Nate researched my subject and produced a superior image before I arrived for my work. I asked for delicate fine line work which the artist handled with finesse. Narrow lines placed by a less experienced artist can break in healing. It has been months and the lines are unbroken and smooth as the day they were tattooed.

Nate did an awesome tattoo for me. I will definitely be returning to get another very soon. He was so friendly and really cares about the quality of his work being performed and about the client's experience as well. Thank you!

I got tattooed by Ron and was super impressed with his flexibility to tattoo my friend and I. We were walk ins right before closing and didn't expect for him to hold up closing the store for us!!! He was super nice and it was a great experience. It was my second tattoo and on my foot. Two weeks after getting it though.... it was fading pretty badly, and to the point where one spot looked as though there was a complete gap in the ink. I had not done anything different in terms of care compared to my first tattoo (on my ribs), which healed perfectly. I called them about the issue and there was no hesitation to make it right immediately. Price was pretty high for a tattoo as small as what I got, but for Ithaca prices I think it was definitely on the lower side. I would recommend coming here!

Love Love LOVE Artistic Point Tattoo Company!!!
I recently went in for a new tattoo and everything from start to finish was beyond my expectations! The shop was clean, welcoming and covered with the pieces of art work from the workers (not just their tattoo portfolios), which were amazing! You can quickly tell they take pride in their shop, tattoos and overall talent!! Exactly what I want in a tattoo artist! :)
The tattoo I got is amazing! looks great, and didn't hurt at all! Along the way Nate would give me tid bits of excellent knowledge, what to look for in a shop, an artist and health regulations! (I know he is up to date on safety!)
I've already recommended them to my friends and will be going back for my next one!

I have been going to Nate for a couple years now and have been nothing but satisfied! He's incredibly clean and diligent when working, makes me feel comfortable and takes a lot of pride in his craft. I recommend Artistic Point to all of my friends and they agree; best tattoo place in Ithaca!
