Asylum Tattoo Studio

Came in late for a small tattoo with my cousin and the shop manager made it happen! Thank you Pickles, you did exactly what I wanted! Fast, efficient and clean!

Nice clean place with a friendly atmosphere and the artists are helpful, knowledgeable and patient with you if you’re not completely sure about the design or placement of your tattoos and piercings. The piercer also does dermal implants so that’s a big plus since it’s so difficult to find a shop in the area that knows how to do them.

The guys were nice but my simple tattoo came out bad. when the guy was done he even said “if it’s too light you can come back for a retouch”, half of it is very light but i won’t get it touched up. i will probably get this lasered or covered up.

Came here for my first Tattoo and Marcos was the one who greeted me with a smile! The entire experience working with him was a breeze and definitely enjoyable for a first timer. His work is top notch. He definitely pays attention to detail and cares about how your tattoo makes you feel!!

I came in for a tattoo appointment on 03/06.it was my birthday and was really looking forward to something new but affordable.when I got there I was greeted in the front by the person at the desk.not only were they professional but they were kind and asked if I would like some water as I waited while they prepped.my artist was eric.at first I was a little hesitant being that his vibe was a bit off and there was a bit of a edge to him.but as soon as I sat on the chair it shifted drastically.not only was he patient and worked with me to find the right placement for my tattoo(which we did btw,it’s perfect!) he also made sure to give me breaks being that I couldn’t sit for the whole tattoo at once. It was an amazing experience.im already thinking about the next tattoo I want!

Did my tattoo here and love how the person that did my tattoo took care of me. Check them out. Check out Hek he’s a really good artist and works with you and actually takes his time and once your tattoo to be perfect.

My family and I were walk ins on Sunday evening 1/4/24. There was only on artist there who I think name Frederick who says he tattoo for 36 years. Telling the artist we came in to memorialize my brother by getting his initials and I had 2 or 3 other siblings that would be coming to do the same and they are10 mins away. He said that would be 80 dollars per tat. Thinking out loud I say even something small and dainty. He replies 80 base price and goes up from there. I asked to see fonts while he prep his station and my husband who came with me asked if he could get something he saw in the book. Artist told him to come on while I jokingly ask about a group discount which he replies its not the 90s miss. Everything seemed to be going ok until my mother who was paying for my brother asked how much mind you she wasnt there when I asked so I and artist replied 80. To what she ask there no discounts. Artist seemed agitated cause he replied If he hear discount again he was going to stop. My sister went next and noticed that he didnt do the tat like the font. When she inquired about it he says he didnt add all the details cause it wouldnt look right it was to small. To which my sister replies we could have discussed this and did it bigger. To the artist saying that would have been more money. She says that would have been fine cause she picked that font for the detail. Mind you me and the rest family in the lobby hearing them going back and forth til we hear something drop or slam down which we all stood up to look over cause a large counter in between. To see him aggravated trying to postion the chair while telling her he would fix it by adding the details, which he already said the tat was to small for. She declines for common sense reason and the fact that she doent want him to touch her again with his attitude. Artist telling her he is going to finish but she wont let him so what is he supposed to do. She responds again no thats ok and pulls out her 100 and says how much to which he says 80. She pays but sarcastically comments about 80 for a wrong tat and no discount. 😅 To this he hands her change and says he is done no more shop is closed. Mind you I still havent got my tattoo and dispite asking everbody has payed what he has asked. So I remind him sir I still want to go he says I asked for 3 tats and he did 3, which I didnt. Reexplaining this is for my brother memorial and even with his attitude Im trying to save the moment for my family but with no remorse or compassion I left tatless. The tats were decent but the experience and lack there of was a memory I could have gone with out, especially in mourning. Go with caution ⚠️.

Got this Early Cycladic II figurine from the Met on my left bicep by Jon/Pickles. Super-professional. Came out better than I could have hoped.

OMGGG!!! Roshi did my tattoo about a year ago and I just had to come back to get this one! Not only does he ensure your comfortability but he makes the atmosphere so fun and easy going. I also got a piercing from Eric and it was painless and quick, and just like Roshi, very great environment.THANK YOU GUYS SO MUUUUCH ❤️

Does not listen to suggestions and pierced me twice. When I came to ask for a refund he insisted he did an okay job. The piercer for an angel piercing. The ball should not be touching my top lip. And he pierced me twice. And charged me full price.

This is the only place I go 2 get pierced! The staff is awesome & the atmosphere is laid back. The only thing, I wish the piercer was available more often. You often have to call ahead 2 make sure he/she will b in...

Repierced my dermal beautifully and quickly. 10/10 will be back !

Ive been here before and have always had Bobby do my piercings. Extremely happy with them, no pain and have healed beautifully. BUT I wasnt aware that he left and when I went to get a new piercing, I was extremely disappointed. I dont know this guys name but he ruined something as simple as a cartilage piercing. Its been 2 weeks and my ear has been swollen and bleeding constantly. I called to tell him whats been going on and he starts raising his voice about me sleeping on it and touching it etc. Ive been struggling to even brush my hair because of how much pain Im in. I have never experienced this with any of my piercings or even my tattoos. I know its just a piercing and I can take it out, get it done somewhere else, but when you spend $117 for a piercing and jewelry change, then have to deal with things like this, its infuriating! I rarely ever do reviews but I know someone whos interested in getting pierced will read this. Dont do it to yourself. :(

Rafael is amazing! He’s very friendly and completely understood my vision of what I wanted and made it come to life I absolutely love my tattoo I will definitely be back. They are a bit pricey but it’s a tattoo you get what you pay for, they’re talented artists and have excellent customer service skills I had a great experience here

Mike was amazing. I love my tattoo. Thanks Mike.

Beautiful shop, friendly staff.I highly recommend this business to anyone looking for tattoos or piercings. They’ve been in business for over twenty years.

Anthony is an awesome artist. My boyfriend and I are very happy with the work. Their shop is wheelchair accessible to get in the building and to get ink, but the bathroom is only accessible if you can hold on to walk in and use it. We will definitely be going back for more work

I received 6 tattoos when it was under asylum and I never had a problem. Updated one of my 2 months ago and it came out nice however, I have a green outline surrounding it! I mean it’s nice I like it but I am embarrassed to show it. Way too much rubbing my skin absorbed the color. Not too happy about that! The crayon is nice however the surrounding area is unacceptable the fact the my skin is tinted green around that area

I have gotten a tattoo and 3 piercings at Tattoo Asylum and I have been EXTREMELY satisfied and happy with the results each time! Im actually going back to add to one of my tattoos! They are very presentable and the environment is well kept and clean! All tools used are brand new and they open everything right in front of you, which I appreciate as a customer because the last thing we all need is an infection! I highly recommend Asylum!

OMG! what can I say about this shop that hasnt already been said. They have attentive staff, who really make you feel welcome, and the professional skills to match. I went in today for a septum piercing after a bad experience, and the woman who pierced me (cant recall her name at the moment) was so caring. She knew exactly what she was doing and the placement of the piercing is right on target. Will most certainly be going there for some more things on my ears. Highly recommended.

Walked in for a nose piercing (nervous as can be!).. Angel did the work; dealt with my jitters and did a great job. I will be honest in saying, I read through a full page of reviews before I walked in; if this one can help you decide, then Im glad!

Definitely one of the best tattoo artist in New York. Bobby has a unique talent and is extremely patient. Love his work and the passion behind it. Looking forward on working on my leg sleeve .

My son passed away and I got a tatoo from marcos and I really loved the rose and tatoo he gave me as a memorial for my son . He was very professional and took a lot of pride in his piece . Not so much professionalism for any of the other artist that work there . It’s a shame that he doesn’t work there anymore. Loosing a hell of an artist .

Went with my sister today to get small tattoos. Gonzalo was great! Ive been coming here since I was 18 and its always a great experience.

My first tattoo and I couldnt have picked a better place. The price was fair and Mystical Mike did a tremendous job. I shared my idea of what I wanted and he inked it out to perfection. Definitely recommend Asylum Studios to anyone.

Santana is a great tattoo artist. Very clean line work and passionate. The shop is always clean and brings the vibes.

I have gotten 2 tattoos done here and Im unhappy with both one my most recent one had faded away in less then a month when i requested and spoke to someone to get it fixed she refused with a nasty attitude. Tattoos are for a life time and to have one fade and look totally disformed in less then a month was upsetting.

I got (so far) lol two tattoos here. Very clean, the staff is friendly, and they do amazing work. Im always getting compliments on my tattoo even from people who dont approve of tattoos, so it says a lot lol.

It was an easy process and was able to get it done on the spot for a reasonable price. Mike was my artist and was great with great service

They were very rude came in once to ask a question about a tattoo I wanted it almost seem like they didn’t care to help me and make the sale came back a second time thought maybe it was just me and they weren’t being rude the girl there was yet again rude and didn’t want to help me that’s why they have no customer there I was so excited for my tattoo until I walked into this shop

Always a great experience, they make you feel at home. This is the only place I go to for tattoos. Super kind and chill vibe

I got my first tattoo here at age 18. Ive gotten many tattoos after but none as amazing as my first. Went back today 10 years later and did not disappoint. Amazing

Place is a dump, no loyalty to their artists and they have a flat tire fix kind of vibe going. They got some douche artist that has stacks of weight gainers at his station doing pushups and pull ups in front like its prison. Keep it moving past this place

Went to get a difficult piercing out. It was a success. Im grateful. Staff was patient. Never had ink done here.

I just walked out of the shop and I couldnt be happier. I walked in with a picture of what I wanted and its perfect! I am definitely going back for my future tattoo work.

Te place is ok but they pierced my septum wrong, It was too low. And the guys hands were shaking very bad. I think he was a little high at that moment.

First time getting a tattoo here and I will 100% be going back. Angel did an awesome job and I couldn’t be happier with how my tattoo came out

Best places to get a tattooThey are professional and they make sure the work is done right no rush jobs. Highly recommend

Great experience getting my piercing with Eric!! Very clean and painless!!!

Love my tattoo awesome work by Eric

Bad experience. The guy pierced my septum wrong and he was shaking while he was doing it. I had to repierce it in other place.

Marcos Is a beast artist took my idea to another level definitely will be returning for more ink.

Great ink and very welcoming to walk-in.Mike

Great vibes , Roshi is the best. Thank you !

Great work from JonI highly recomend this plase
