Midnight Tattoo

The space is SO cute, and everyone there was kind and welcoming. I felt really comfortable, despite being an awkward person 🤣 Plus the work itself is outstanding !

I got tattooed by Parker a couple of months ago and I had the best experience! The studio was comfortable and welcoming and everyone was so nice. I'm absolutely in love with my tattoo, the fine line work and shading were so well done and it has healed beautifully. I would recommend Midnight Tattoo to anyone who's looking for beautiful fine line tattoos.

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.

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!! 👏🏻 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!! ✨

I F*CKIN love these people <3 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.

Such a lovely and welcoming studio! Parker is such an amazing artist and made sure that I was comfortable and relaxed for the whole session. She put so much thought and care into the piece, don’t think I can get a tattoo anywhere else! :)

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 🖤

Just by looking at their page/social media you can tell that above all else Maria and Parker value safety, consent, education, and inclusivity. On each of their tabs you can read their FAQs - what they are willing to tattoo and what they absolutely will not. I personally follow and like them because they go very in depth with everything they share! They take you step by step in what to expect in each part of the process! (I love this because I have crippling anxiety and need to know everything that will happen in detail lol) I read a few negative reviews and just hope this will help counteract them 😭🤍 I can’t wait to get tattooed here one day!!

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, ‘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.

I was tattooed here a few months ago, and even thought they preach being a safe space, did not feel that. I got a small tattoo that i’m okay about, but I should’ve looked into Parker’s page a bit more to realize the shop is LGB friendly, but not exclusively trans friendly. I’m fine if people like Harry Potter, but it would probably be smart to not gush about it to your trans clients who may or may not be aware of how awful the writer of the serious is. Like, maybe denounce JK even a little bit knowing how harmful to the trans community she is? Food for thought, Midnight tattoo but specifically Parker.

If you've never been tattooed, this will be the best first experience you could have! And if you've been tattooed, you'll wonder why you've been doing it with anyone other than these people! The most welcoming, accommodating, patient and kind tattoo artist in the world- Parker brought my dream to life and was super flexible with design elements that I wanted to change. And I got to watch Harry Potter while being tattooed!I couldn't be happier!

Loved my experience. Everyone was so friendly and my tattoo is gorgeous! The space itself is cozy as a cute and the light from the large windows is phenomenal. Thank you Parker.

Maria was such a delight to work with and I’m so thankful I got in her books! I got one of her butterfly flash pieces in August 2021. Her booking process was easy to navigate. Once I was booked, she sent very clear instructions for how to find the studio, parking, aftercare directions, etc. During my session I asked for a small design alteration, and Maria made the change for me no problem. I was really nervous about asking for the change, and she made me feel validated and comfortable about it. She also prepared many stencils for me so I could visualize different sizes and placement options. I went bigger than I originally thought I would, but I’m glad I did! The little details pop so much more this way! The tattooing portion of the appointment was easy breezy! Maria put a lot of effort and care into my piece!! She was very fun to talk to and we had a really good conversation. She also let me take breaks when I needed them and never made me feel bad about it. She also took the time to answer my questions about tattooing in general (tattooing techniques, how she started tattooing, etc), and it was really interesting to learn about that from her while I got my piece. Overall, 15/10 recommend Maria for your next tattoo!!! This review ended up way longer than I meant it to be but I feel like that’s a testament to how great of an experience I had :) I can’t wait to add onto this arm with Parker in a few weeks!! Really looking forward to what I’ve been affectionately calling my “Midnight half sleeve” 🤍🖤

I cannot wait until my next tattoo! Everyone is so kind and welcoming. Parker always made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process and so patient with me. The professionalism and accommodating atmosphere was amazing and not intimidating at all. The phone/tablet holders to watch shows was very thoughtful. You can tell that each piece of this business was done with the upmost thought and care (booking, hospitality, decor, website, etc).

I got a butterfly tattoo from Maria in Feb, and truly loved my experience! She’s so easy to talk to, makes you feel comfortable and does SUCH exceptional work. I was unsure of placement and she fixed the stencil like 3 times to make sure I loved it and I truly do love it! I can’t wait to go back for more!

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.

I recently was tattooed by Parker in early April and she was incredibly kind and thoughtful, which made the tattooing experience all the better. Her and her wife and co owner of Midnight, Maria, greeted me at the shop and Parker was very informative about my tattoo placement and design. Parker's assistant Danielle was incredibly helpful at responding to my booking proposal and went above and beyond to secure an appointment with Parker. I did my best to be flexible to the available dates that she gave me and ended up grabbing a cancellation spot that happened to open up. I know this is rare since Parker is very booked & busy so I'm grateful that there was clear communication between us and my expectations were exceeded! The shop was very clean and beautiful, and Parker had different sizes of my design ready and offered to move the placement around to see what best fit with my current sleeve of tattoos which was so nice. She also had an iPad with movies to watch to distract from the tattoo pain, so watching Twilight and Harry Potter made the experience 10x better. Chas, another shop mate at Midnight, came in and greeted me kindly and the whole vibe of the shop was very calm and comfortable. At the end of the day, you are paying for the experience and forever art on your body, and the artists here do their very best to accommodate to their ability with sliding scales, availability, and extra perks so I'm glad I waited to get booked with Parker.

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!! :)

Parker was so amazing! I was told every step that was happening and she made sure that I loved my tattoo every step of the way. Best place to get a tattoo and best experience! You definitely should go here if you are wanting to be listened to and have an amazing tattoo!

I’ve gotten two beautiful tattoos done by Maria, who was extremely straightforward with booking, the process once I was there, placement, etc. She was not intimidating at all, super sweet, and considerate during the whole tattoo process. Both her and Parker were very welcoming and made me feel comfortable. They are both so insanely talented, and they put so much effort in their studio appearance and vibe - it’s an incredible space. I want to get so many more and this is the only place I want to go to!! 💛 Thanks for my cute lil’ deer and butterfly, Maria!
