The NY Tattoo Gallery LLC

Best experience I've ever had getting a tattoo and I have had many!!! TJ was so professional, very patient with me, and made sure I got exactly what I wanted!! I would definitely recommend him for a tattoo. I love my new tat. With that said he's just a great person I had the pleasure of meeting. I will definitely be back to see him.

Saw Katie for a portrait of our dog. She is absolutely amazing!! The shop owner was super nice & welcoming. HIGHLY recommend her!

The piercer was really nice and made sure I was comfortable for my cartilage ear piercing. They also were very kind to accommodate me on a Sunday. I have some experience with cartilage piercings and how to care for them, but despite daily care, my piercing got infected. It was a problematic piercing from the start, and I’m not sure if it was due to the way the piercing was done, but two weeks in, it formed an abscess on the back of my ear, and almost immediately after I got it, there was a bump on the inside of me ear, where the piercing was. I sought advice from the shop over the phone, and they informed me that I might have a keloid, which is common (but not at two weeks) and told me to just keep cleaning with saline.

Update: so 6 months in. I tried to keep the piercing, but I was in so much pain. I thought a lot of what I was going through was expected, as it was a cartilage piercing on my ear, and I thought that I might be dealing with a keloid. I had to go to the ENT, there were two granulomas on the inner side of the piercing and a really large abscess on the backside of the piercing (which I mistook for a keloid). Note that I’d been taking care of this piercing like I was supposed to, saline, warm compresses, don’t touch it (esp. without clean hands), etc. It had basically been infected from the start. The granulomas on the inside of the piercing had been there from the start, they had to cut the earring out.

Long story short, I’ve never had issues like this before, I’m not allergic to any metals, and I am fairly experienced with piercings and aftercare. The only difference here was where I got the piercing — my recommendation would be to not go here, and instead look for a piercer that’s in the Association of Professional Piercers.

Been going here for years and have gotten tattoos from Niko! All the artists in the shop do awesome work in what they do

Best freehand work i have ever gotten. All my piercings heal great from Nick. Never know what I want but he always creates the best art. He's great with color blending. Doesn't use stencils or copy from google. He creates some of the best custom work with tattoos that's I've ever seen. All my friends come for their piercings and tattoos now and they always leave happy. Such a chill environment and never bad vibes. Nick is always respectful, polite and optimistic. Usually always open for walkins especially for piercings. If you want a good experience and a good artist, be sure to pop in or call Nick. He's the best in the 518

Great work, friendly environment. True professional. I enjoyed the experience, and will certainly be back very soon to get more work done. 1st piece they did for me was on 3/23, a symbol for new beginnings. Thank you for a job well done. I would highly recommend this place when considering body art.

I love everyone that works here:) they are amazing artists. I just recently went here to get my septum pierced. I was greeted immediately and brought into the piercing room filled out my paperwork and gave them my I.d. I’ve had my septum done before (not done by them) and it was to low and was crooked. So I was very nervous I wouldn’t like it again. I showed Niko a picture of what I liked and didn’t like and what my concerns were. The placement was perfect and The piercing itself barely hurt and it came out awesome!!! I couldn’t be happier!

I contacted this place threw Facebook to book an appointment for both myself and my husband to get new tattoos and to fix an old one with the owner niko. Their Facebook page told me to message niko directly. I messaged him a number of times to get an appointment set up and he was very unresponsive and did not try to get us in for an appointment at all. After about 2 weeks trying to get something on the books he completely not answering me. I also tried to stop in the shop at open hours and they were close along with trying to call the shop and no one answered. Very disappointed after a number of friends and 1 family member recommended him to us. We have decided to take our business else where.

Went in for my wife’s name on my ring finger and he free handed it and it’s perfect not one flaw and we both are really ocd and can’t find even the slightest bit wrong! We both love it definitely recommend this place!!!! And will most definitely be going back!!! Nick the owner is awesome and has some skill!!!

Had a great experience! Got tattooed by Nick, the owner and he is great. Amazing artist, very friendly and makes you feel very comfortable. I am definitely coming back here.
