I’ve got a couple of tattoos done by Parker here and she makes you feel so comfortable and safe. The whole studio environment feels relaxed and pleasant. Parker takes the time to make sure the design and placement is exactly as you want it. You can take breaks whenever you need to though it’s one of the least painful tattoo experiences I’ve had as she has a light hand. She does beautiful work and is a really nice person while doing it. I’d highly recommend and will continue to come back.

Talented Friendly Patient Recommended

If you want to have the best, most comfortable and welcoming first tattoo experience then you need to book with Maria Midnight!!! I had the opportunity to be tattooed by Maria in May of 2021, and it was honestly such a nice introduction into the tattooing process! She was so patient with me given that it was my first tattoo, and I can honestly say that I would absolutely come back and I recommend her to everyone who compliments my tattoo (believe me when I say I get compliments EVERYWHERE I go!!) Not only is she talented but she’s also so nice and friendlyβ€” I almost regret not talking to her a bit more! (I ended up being a bit quiet during my session lol.) I haven’t had the pleasure of getting tattooed by Parker yet, but there is no doubt in my mind that she is going to be JUST as nice and kind if and when I get on her books. 10/10!!

Great Experience Friendly Staff Attention to Detail

I got my first tattoo this weekend and it was the best experience!! This isn’t your typical scary tattoo shop. This was my first and I was incredibly nervous. Chas walked me through the design and ensured I was happy the whole way through. The tattoo came out even better than I expected!! πŸ‘πŸ» He really listened to all 1000 of my design ideas and focused on the detail I was looking for. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone but particularly anyone looking to get your first tattoo. They made the process so easy and almost painless 😜 (I fell asleep during session)

Thank you Chas & team!! ✨

Great Service Beautiful Shop Calming Energy Accommodating Staff Skilled Artists Recommendation

I’m very selective of the tattoo shops and tattoo artists I go to, and Midnight exceeded expectations. The shop was beautiful, but the real magic was the calming energy you felt being there. Which is not always the case at a tattoo shop (if you know, you know).

My appointment had to be rescheduled and Parker was able to fit me in super quickly and was incredibly accommodating since I was driving from out of state. She made sure every part of the experience went smoothly and spent time making sure the placement was perfect/getting my input along the way. I cannot recommend this studio enough.

Parker and Maria know what they’re doing and I will be coming back, for sure.

Great Service Skilled Tattoo Artists Comfortable Environment

I have quite a few tattoos, and I like most of them but the tattoo I got from Maria last year is by far my favorite. It also feels the most natural on my body.

I wish every tattoo shop ran like this one. They email you your tattoo beforehand so you have time to think about it. The consent process is amazing, and on top of that, Parker and Maria are basically the coolest.

Maria is also a wonderful tattooer. My tattoo looks stunning and she was so gentle. She checked in with me often to make sure I was okay, and getting enough bathroom breaks.

You will have no regrets if you get tattooed here. PS the studio is heaven.

Great Experience Support Local Business Fantastic Service Kind and Patient Comfortable Space

Parker gave me my first tattoo ever and it was the absolute best experience I could have ever asked for!!!!!!!!!!

I left the studio sooooo happy that my money went to supporting a fantastic local business and family. This was truly one of the best things I’ve ever put my money towards! Parker is incredibly kind, patient, and collaborative! The space that they’ve created is peaceful and comfortable. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to be tattooed here πŸ–€

Cute Shop Inviting Atmosphere Helpful Staff Recommendation

This shop is so cute. It's inviting with lots of light and plants. I got a flash piece from Katrina and I am so in love with it. So accommodating, reassuring, and helpful! The stencil placement wasn't quite right the first time, and I was encouraged to re-stencil as many times as I needed to get it in the right spot. I definitely recommend this shop, and Katrina.

Comfortable experience Attentive artist Warm and inviting studio Respectful and comforting attitude Talented and creative artist Highly recommended

I just had my third session with Parker. The first was my best tattoo experience ever, as were the second and third - prompting this overdue review. Parker was meticulous about my comfort every step of the way. There were frequent check ins as to how I was feeling, whether I was in need of a break or how my pain tolerance was holding up. She also had snacks on hand in case you felt a little blood sugar drop. The studio itself is so warm and inviting, not at all like other tattoo studios I’ve been to. Parker was welcoming and kind as were Maria, Chas, and Arabelle. Every other artist/studio I’ve dealt with in the past had a very elitist, β€˜I’m so much cooler than you’ vibe. Aside from the expense of a well done tattoo, this attitude caused a lot of apprehension and anxiety around getting further work done. Parker is aware of this issue in the tattoo world and has made painstaking efforts to be as respectful and comforting as possible. So many times you have to sacrifice your personal comfort to get a beautifully done tattoo. With Parker you will get the best of both worlds. It’ll be as tranquil an experience as possible and Parker’s talent and creativity will ensure you are left with a truly breathtaking tattoo. I cannot recommend Parker enough.

Great Experience Talented Artist Friendly Staff

My experience at Midnight was hands down the best tattoo experience I've had, having been to several studios in the past in New York City. From start to finish of the entire process, everyone I interacted with at Midnight was incredibly kind and welcoming. Danielle (Parker's assistant) was very responsive and provided several dates for me to choose from when scheduling my tattoo. The night prior to my appointment, Parker sent over a draft of her design for my tattoo, which I really appreciated in that it allowed me to really take time to look at and sit with the ins and outs of the design prior to being in the studio (in prior experiences, I've felt pressured to not offer any feedback or thoughts because the artist was right there looking at me the day of my appointment). The day of the appointment, Parker was a dream to work with - super accommodating and encouraging of taking numerous breaks, making sure I was comfortable every step of the way, and supplying snacks when I was starting to get tired. I especially appreciated that she gave me time and space in the studio by myself to see how I felt about the stencil prior to committing to the tattoo placement and really emphasized consent. On top of all of this, Parker is truly just an amazingly talented artist and super chill person. Maria was also in the studio and was really sweet in interacting with me during various points of the day. I got my dream tattoo and can't wait to add more pieces!! :)

Friendly Staff Great Service Talented Artists Inclusive Environment

I F*CKIN love these people
Maria was one of the kindest souls ever and made me feel at home and comfortable, always checking up on me to see if I was doing okay during the session or answering any questions I had.

It was truly an honor being tattooed by her back in November (my tattoo has healed beautifully btw) and her work definitely speaks for itself. Both Maria and Parker are amazing people who go out of their way for their clients, especially speaking out and advocating for POC/LGBTQ+ communities. I will definitely be coming back for another tattoo.
