Empire Ink Tattoo Studio

My son got his tattoo done here. I was nervous because I didn’t know his work. My son did his research on him and felt comfortable. When my son showed me the end results of his tattoo, I wasn’t ready. This Artist is amazing. Attention to detail is phenomenal. It really blew me away. I’m not into tattoos, but I would highly recommend this artist to anyone. He deserves 10 stars!!!

Sting made my first tattoo experience a great one, and I am so very thankful for that .He has done all 5 tattoos I have attach in this review from 2019 with the Tiger Face till the recent one which is my son’s feet with his name .The art work is fantastic, and is very open minded with what designs will go well with the tattoo. I have recommended many friends and family members with sting and they all have been very satisfied with his work.The store is kept very clean and staff members are very professional.

Edit: because the store replied to me, it’s the fact that I wanted to get it replaced after the ball of the jewelry came off, I’ve done this before. I’m not faulting the jewelry itself but the poor placement of the piercing itself. It seems that you don’t understand why I wrote this review. Anyway, I wouldn’t trust going back to a piercer that already pierced it incorrectly the first time. Thanks.I reached out to the shop to ask for a partial refund because they seem to have had bad reviews for septum piercings. Do not go here for that, it was my mistake for not reading the reviews at first because seems another customer had the same horrible experience. I got it on a whim, and normally I’m great with piercings I have many, many of them and none of them bled/hurt as much as I did with my septum which is supposed to be one of the least painful. The piercer was visibly nervous with the amount of blood that came out and he said it’s a sensitive area so that’s why it was bleeding and I was like ok. I’ve had it pierced before do I just thought it was the scar tissue. But one of the balls came off and I went to a different piercing shop to get it replaced and he informed me the piercing was way too low and explained why the healing was so painful and bleeding was excessive. I redid the piercing with the new store. It was painless, and did not bleed at all compared to the first time with empire. I just want to let the piercer know that the lack of knowledge is very negligent and especially not being honest about piercing it incorrectly and misinformation about sensitivity when I could’ve been saved from excessive pain and bleeding. Please train your piercers instead of apologizing.

Got my tattoo today, Rey is very welcoming. Prices are great, and he is very professional. Ill definitely go back, he is such a great guy! Definitely recommend

Great and professional stuff I keep coming there since I moved to Brooklyn! Recommended this guys to everyone interested in getting a tattoo. No complaints. I’m always happy with the service and the price is nothing for a pice of an art they create on your body forever❤️❤️❤️ I’m sure I will be there again soon

My partner and I have both gotten three tattoos from Empire in the last couple of months and we both had an awesome experience. Clean, friendly, and chill atmosphere. My most recent tattoo is my favorite and I am so glad that Sting was able to bring my idea to life. So glad theyre in our area!

Honestly the best Tattoo shop Ive been too.Sting is the only one that has done my tattoos I would not trust any one to do my tattoo.. got 6 tattoos from him and I love each and every one 💕...

Ray is a real tattoo artist! He gave a such beautiful tattoo...I wasnt even expecting it to be so good...Im super happy!!! Thank you, Ray!!!

The best experience you can possibly have while getting a tattoo.High quality art made here everyday. Uses the best ink products and make sure you get your dream tattoo. Incredibly clean and professional business. One of the best shops in Brooklyn for sure

Adrian did my inspo tattoo. Saw his work on Instagram instantly emailed him and asked if he could do what I wanted. He responded so fast and professional. Went to my first session for a back piece and he was so patient with me and nice. He showed me everything before he started to make sure I was okay with sizing etc. Long story short, After both sessions I LOVE MY TATTOO!!!! Exactly How I wanted it. His work is worth the price I paid!!

Not sure how the tattoos are here, but I would not recommend for a piercing.I came here spur the moment for a septum piercing.I signed no documents and he did not ask for ID.When my septum was pierced, it was very painful and I was gushing blood because it was in my cartilage instead of the sweet spot. The piercer attempted to pierce it again- stating it was too low. I agreed, however he did it in the same spot and I gushed blood again. It was a very painful process. I asked if bleeding was normal, and he assured me that it was——- it’s not.When I asked about aftercare, he informed me to use bactine for cleaning. This is the incorrect cleaning method.It actually says on the bactine label not to use on puncture wounds.After getting this repierced by a reputable piercer, I can say this was a horror story. I’m just happy nothing worse happened.

They think they tattooing celebrities, charging 100$ for a tattoo the size of a fingernail that was just an outline at that no color or anything…then as we’re leaving he’s telling us if we don’t like it to go somewhere else…disgusting attitude 🤮it’s no wonder they always empty.. DO BETTER!…. It’s like they paying people to write good reviews 🤣 because there’s nothing great about my first experience there… and no they are not the best in Brooklyn I know who is tho🫰🏼… I was being nice trying out something different thought I’ll give them a try…I’ll just stick to my guys who are good with prices and way better work!!.I will let everyone know not to go there ever! Good luck to those who do go! 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
