Great experience all around. My 6 year old got her ears pierced. The guy at the front desk and the piercer were both wonderful with her. The piercer seemed very knowledgeable and had a very soothing demeanor that made her feel comfortable. He was great about explaining exactly what he would be doing. We will definitely be recommending Big Ink to friends and family!
Took my 11 year old to get her ears pierced for her birthday, and also got my helix done on one side.It was a bright, calming environment. Simple check-in, and then right to the room where he had the piercing things all ready to go. (We had made an appointment ahead of time.)He talked my daughter through the process so that she knew what was going on, and what to expect. He gave her breathing instructions to focus on, and then just like that, it was done. She said she barely even felt anything.For my helix piercing, it was also very straightforward. I had second guessed the placement for a moment, but ultimately went with the one he chose, because I figure he does this way more than me…and now that I see it done, I’m so glad I went with where he put it! It looks great.
The most professional, CLEAN and welcoming shop I have ever been to!I’ve had lots of body piercing done in the past and this is by far the best experience I have ever had with a piercing artist and healing process. Jesse was extremely professional and made the experience very easy and comfortable. I got both nipples Pierced and let me tell you, the amount of professionalism I experienced from my Artist was amazing! Calm, efficient, very thorough and clean. I would recommend the shop and piercing artist to absolutely everyone! if you are thinking about getting any type of piercing GO HERE YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had an easy and professional experience with Jesse, who pierced my ears. They provided me with all relevant info beforehand and after (like risks, aftercare, etc), price was reasonable ($25 for piercing plus the cost of earrings, so like $33 total, and you have to use their earrings). Jesse was nice and helpful through the piercing process, which went super fast and barely hurt at all. They sell aftercare products like cleaning spray but also will tell you how to make your own from sea salt.
I have gotten several piercings here (septum, both nostrils, navel, and eyebrow) and it is a pleasure each time. Jesse is a very kind and patient piercer. Not to mention he always plays awesome music during his seamless and painless piercings. I will continue to come to Big Ink for any of my piercing and tattoo needs. 12/10 service, would recommend.
I took my 16 and 8 year old daughters to Big Ink for piercings and the entire process start to finish was amazing! From the moment we stepped in the door, it was so clean and inviting. The check in process and the guy who did it was extremely friendly and helpful. Mikey, who did the piercings had the patience of a saint. He talked both girls through their piercings before and during the whole process. He also was very knowledgeable and shared with them all the proper aftercare not only for me, but with them as well. Both girls and I left feeling great about everything and they’re already planning their next piercings. I’d recommend them a million times over!
Got a pretty elaborate sleeve done by Mark yesterday. Excellent in all respects. Amazing tattoo work, and just around really great people. Super clean shop. Spent alot of time researching tattoo places and finally decided on Big Ink and I definitely made the right choice. If I could give more than 5 starts I would.
I’ve been wanting to get my nose pierced for a long time but was always too nervous about getting it done. My friend raved about Big Ink and how awesome they are so we went together and now I’m here to rave about my experience.Everyone in the shop made us feel welcome and cozy. The environment is super clean and inviting. Our piercer, Jesse, was very calm and professional. I knew I was in good hands and before I knew it I became a proud owner of a shiny new nose piercing. I’ve gotten compliments on placement and how it looks like it’s always been there. Flawless placement by Jesse. I highly recommend Big Ink especially if you’re a nervous person like me. Thank you Big Ink crew!! 💖Photo: My friend and their new eyebrow piercing on the left and me with my new nose piercing on the right.
Highly recommend!! Had an awesome experience getting my piercings done. The guy was very patient, and thorough with his instructions and explaining to me what he was doing and what I needed to do to help the process go smoothly! Will definitely go back for more!
I’ve gotten all my facial piercings at Big Ink! Their newer facility is very clean and the staff is kind and professional. Recently got my eyebrow done, and my friend got their nostril done. Jesse was our piercer and he was very calming (it was my friends first facial piercing and they were nervous). There’s a testament to making your clients feel safe and calm. Will always recommend Big Ink!😌
Ive been going to Mark here for 10+ years now and he never disappoints. I bring my ideas to him, and he always manages to come up with something that blows me away. My latest piece is so special to me and Im so in lobe with it so far...Its such a chill atmosphere and youre always made to feel comfortable. My kiddos stopped in to see me before I was done, and Hunter interacted with them and had them laughing pretending they were there to get a tattoo also!10/10 recommend Big Ink ❤️
Only place I will ever get my ink from since my first experience with Mark and I’ve gotten ink all over the country. I can be indecisive when it comes to the specifics, but Mark took my references and created a master piece for my sleeve! Always a great atmosphere and a very talented group of people! Family piercings have been done at Big Ink as well; all healed nice and healthy!
Love this establishment! Every detail of the store - from the jewelry cases to the toilet paper - is exquisite! Theyre very accommodating, polite, professional, with a very clean & sterile environment and tools. Their prices are reasonable and they even change my piercings FOR me - and the jewelry doesnt fall out like my Temu or Walmart jewelry does!! A++++
All staff is very friendly, and answers all ypur questions. The piercer walks you through the whole process and is very nice. I have been to big ink in total of 9 piercings and I have had no problem with any of them. The shop is very clean and looks nice.
Clean and professional environment. My daughter wanted her ears pierced... she had a bit of a panick attack and ended up backing out of out. The piercer was very professional and patient with her. I had 2 piercings done and he walked me through step by step. Would definitely recommend.
My wife got a beautiful tattoo about a week ago, and we are so happy with it!My son and I both got our ears pierced a few months ago. The customer service has always been great!
Mark “Boo” Haley did an amazing job! Probably the most painless and most intricate tattoo I’ve ever gotten. Trust him to do all of my tattooing work going forward.
I had an excellent experience getting my nose pierced here! Jesse did an excellent job! Was very clean, thorough, and explained everything that he was doing. I couldnt have wished for a better experience. I hope to come back for a tattoo in the future! Great prices as well.Thank you so much to all the staff, etc.☺️🤘
If I could give 7 stars I would!!! This is a very clean shop, and the staff is very friendly and professional!!!! I can’t tell you how proud I am of my tattoo; thank you Mark and the Big Ink family for a great experience:)
Very happy with the matching tattoos we got from owner Mark Haley. He sketched the design based on our photo and we love the result. The stories and conversation made the experience fun. Plus it’s great to have total confidence in his skill as an artist, and in the surgical cleanliness of the shop.
Mark did an amazing job on this piece. Will definitely be going back to Mark to get more tattoos done by him. Well, satisfied. Ignore the blood.
Best tattoo shop in the area, hands down! Run, don’t walk to Big Ink for the piece of your dreams! Mark is an amazing artist and the entire staff creates such a comfortable, friendly atmosphere my family won’t go anywhere else. Spotless shop, great people!
I went to big ink yesterday to have a piercing redone and I still can not get over how impressive the place is. Reminded me of a medical office with all private rooms, extremely clean, everyone was friendly and the piercer was great. Very professional, explained everything and used a very sterile technique. I was highly impressed I would recommend this place to anyone. Great experience
If you dont patronize Big Ink for your tattoos and piercings, you should reconsider your life choices. Ive had a a complete sleeve and am back for a full leg. Mark is a phenomenal artist and stellar human being. David and Hunter at the front of the house are courteous and helpful. Mikey performs piercings with thorough communication and professionalism. Their new location in Corning is spotless, well lit and privacy is never an issue if needed. Please, do yourself a favor and go check them out.
I have gotten Four Tattoos the last year at Big Ink. They are wonderful to work with and has a positive atmosphere. Shout out to Jaydee Benjamin who has done my tattoo work. Highly recommend
A year ago, my friend and I went to see Mark and Boo. We had our tatoos done at the same time. Both of our tatoos are as beautiful as the day we had them done. Thanks Mark and Boo!
Ive been trying to get a tattoo done to represent my brothers & I. I took in a design that my cousin had drawn out and a picture I found online. Mark was able to combine them into an amazing tattoo. I will definitely be returning to have more work done.
They are very friendly, and their artist do incredible work. Just got done with my 2nd tattoo from here ; and Im more than pleased with the outcome
Mark did my first tattoo yesterday. It was a replica from a deeply personal photo. He and his shop made the entire appointment relaxed and enjoyable. I was making another appointment before i left. Marks advice was perfect. I cant wait to return. Thank you. 🙏🏼Nov1Had the pleasure of sitting w Mark again today for another really meaningful piece. I cant say enough about how happy i am. He not only did what i wanted and asked for but he made it even better w his input, vision and skills.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Big Ink is such a great place and so clean. Wouldn’t go anywhere else for a tattoo or piercing. Shout out to Hunter specifically for making sure the check in and check out runs so smoothly.
I was little hassitant to get the piercing done but I must say the ambiance is very calming and staff is super helpfulAmazing tattoo designs and very creative
The staff at Big Ink are amazing! Very friendly and inviting! Their work and service are top notch! Very clean and sterile environment. Mark is an amazing artist and I would recommend Big Ink 100% to anyone looking for a tattoo or piercing!
I went in to get two piercings and it was a very clean area and the piercer knew what he was doing and did a good job
Had such an awesome experience here today with my 5 year old daughter. All the staff are so nice, from the check in to the appointment straight through to the check out. We had to reschedule last minute from yesterday and I am truly grateful for their flexibility. She got her lobes pierced and did an absolutely amazing job. Mike was very kind, calm and explained everything beforehand, and she enjoyed pointing out all the cool stuff in his room and on his vest. I got my nose and lobes pierced and everything just went so smoothly. Thank you guys for everything truly!
I’ve been going to Big Ink for years, & they’ve never disappointed me! I got my nose & belly button pierced by them, they did amazing & it healed beautifully. I got my first tattoo; a small rib tattoo with them. And I just went yesterday to get a hip tattoo from them! Amazing! The price has always matched the work they have done. Both tattoos I got, Boo Boo did & he did an amazing job for both! I am absolutely in love with the almost 5 hour tattoo he did on my hip yesterday! It is so so beautiful. I will forever be going to them for whatever I want to get done next! (Note: all pictures were taken the same day the tattoo was done, that’s why they’re red)
I recently had my first tattoo done at Big Inks new facility in Corning NY. The artist, Randy Mawhiney is a pretty cool soul!! He did a wonderful job and was a pleasure to get to know during the time it took to have the tattoo completed. I was amazed by the lack of pain I experienced through the whole endeavor. Great work, my wife absolutely loves it too!!!! Thank you Randy for a sweet piece of art on my arm, cant wait for the next one to be completed!!! Walked in there with a idea of what I wanted and left with a cool tattoo and a new buddy!
I came in with a friend who had an appointment. Everything was very clean and professional. The staff was kind and accommodating when I asked if they could possibly fit me in for a nose piercing without an appointment. They got me right in after my friend and everything went smoothly. My piercer explained everything well and I felt like I was in good hands. The prices are fair and the environment wasn’t intimidating, which is a plus. I would definitely come back for another piercing!
Came for a nostril piercing. It was an extremely professional experience. The shop is super clean, sterile and I felt welcomed by everyone. Mikey who did the piercing was so kind throughout the whole process. It definitely helped ease my anxiety! I highly recommend this place!
Jesse did such a fantastic job with my daughters piercings for her 7th birthday!!! He made her feel so comfortable and made sure she knew she wasnt pressured and could call it quits if she needed too at any point. She sat like a champ and he talked her through everything so calmly and made the whole expirience a great one for her. Thank you again Jesse!!!
We brought our son here for his birthday to get his first piercing. The receptionist was super helpful and thorough and ensured we understood what we were doing and took care of us. Mikey the piercer was also amazing. Very thorough, clear and professional with explaining the process and procedure to us. Definitely customers for life now, I would highly recommend their services.
Went there last weekend to get my belly pierced. It’s very bright, clean and professional! Highly recommend and my piercing is healing great!
Mikey has done quite a few of my piercings over the years and without fail he always does such a great job! he is very educated and professional and he explains every step of the process so there’s never any surprises. every time i’ve gone to him for a piercing the process has been smooth, quick, and easy
The shop was very clean and the equipment was sterile. The staff were very professional and patient with my daughter. She got her first piercing and was really nervous. He took his time and was as gentle as possible. Thank you! Her ears are healing well and she hasnt had any problems with the piercing. She loves them!
All of staff at Big Ink are awesome. Hunter at the front desk is great to deal with. Love this place. Mark is the best around.
Erik did an amazing job on my cover up and whole tattoo! I am beyond pleased and will be booking again soon! Poptart was “punny” and knowledgeable! The cleanliness was an 11/10. (Pictures are directly after)
Great atmosphere, very friendly and talented staff. Office is beautiful! Boo was phenomenal. Highly recommend.
Seth and the team at big ink did another amazing job helping me complete my leg sleeve . Always recommend these guys . Awesome work
Love big ink!! Its always clean and the crew there are always awesome! Always a good experience!
Great place to go!! 1st tattoo and I love it!! Everyone there was so nice!! Next one will be here as well!!!
Love Big Ink. Hunter at the front counter is very helpful and welcoming with check-in.Mark does awesome work!
Fantastic experience. Jaydee did great work, and was exceptionally professional and conscientious.
Ive had 5 peircings done here (nostrils, eyebrows, and septum) and they have all healed flawlessly. Everyone who I talked to while I was there was incredibly helpful and reassuring. Overall a 5 star experience
An acquaintance recommended Big Ink for my daughter’s ear piercing. I had no idea what to expect, but was impressed with the overall professionalism and friendliness of the staff - and the place is spotless! When my daughter wanted a naval piercing, we didn’t hesitate to call Big Ink again. In fact, I was so comfortable with the previous experience that I also had a cartilage piercing done.When I was considering a place to have my first tattoo, I looked at other options in the area, but decided that since I had such good experiences with Big Ink previously, I would call them first. I’m so glad I did! David was super friendly on the phone, from scheduling, to calling to confirm my appointment, to calling me to ask questions about my design and to inform me of a change with the artist I was originally scheduled with. Mark took the time to make sure my design was what I wanted, both in size and detail. I couldn’t have asked for a better first time tattoo experience. Thanks Big Ink!
Got a tattoo done with Boo and have had many other pieces done with him. As usual the work is fantastic! Already booked another appointment for more work.
Got a tat and recently got my lobes pierced, great staff very knowledgeable
This was my first time ever going to big ink for a tattoo, & I’m obsessed with the job that Erik did! He was so friendly, & gave me exactly what I could have imagined! Definitely will be booking soon again! & pop tart had the best costumer service skills anyone could have! LOVE LOVE IT!!! & the people there are aaamazingggg!!!!!!
Really nice people. They do very good with explaining care instructions after piercings
Big Ink knocks it out of the park with their professionalism and clean inviting studio.Mark and Lisa have hearts of gold giving back to and getting involved in our community. Very pleased with the detail of my tattoo and the patience of Mark as my artist. I also took my 8 year old daughter here to get her ears pierced. Mikey was very good and calmed any nervousness she might have had. I would highly recommend Big Ink, they are worth the wait!
Got septum done 2-3 weeks ago and love it. I waited for about 5 minutes and in another 10 I was walking back to my car fully pierced and paid. They do a great job and it turns out fantastic so long as you keep it clean.Edit: After a year and half, Ive gone back for various ear piercings and I have never had any issues with any part of the process. All I used for the healing process was their H2Ocean spray and I healed wonderfully.
Always a great experience, all the staff make it an enjoyable time rather you’re there for an hour or eight. Clean shop, super friendly staff and very professional. Their work is fantastic I would recommend to everyone I could!
Absolutely love big ink!! I’ve gotten numerous piercings done here by Jesse and he is amazing he talks you through the whole process and makes you feel very comfortable!! My newest piercing is a chest dermal
I had a piercing done about a year ago and enjoyed the professional staff and clean shop very much. I returned a couple weeks ago for a tattoo and again had a great experience!. Mark told me Ill be back and I definitely will be!
This was my first experience here and it did not disappoint. I was very nervous to be taking a big chance on switching tattoo artists when working on a sleeve with existing tattoos. I went with the rec/referral from a friend who has amazing tattoos. She told me this was a great place with good people and that Mark does her tattoo work. Well….without going on and on about the overall awesome experience….I will say taking a leap of faith and switching from familiar to unfamiliar for something permanent on my body was well worth it. It’s only day two and I am already getting compliments and questions of WHO and WHERE. I will be referring others to Big Ink, and I’m not giving up Mark for myself!!! He was phenomenal and I’m looking forward to our next session. Thank you Mark and the entire team for making me feel welcome and comfortable. P.S. This place is sooo clean 😉
I had an awesome experience at Big Ink Tattoo! I got a nose piercing and the entire process was smooth and quick. The location is super clean. But the best part about this business is their customer service. Poptart is the perfect welcome - he puts you at ease and makes you laugh. Ask him about his tattoos! Mickey did my piercing and he was also fantastic. Super informative and easy going. He made the experience as relaxing and painless as it could possibly be. Super grateful for the appointment. Will definitely return for any future work - even though I live in Buffalo. The customer service and value is worth it.
Loved the experience. They worked with me to get on the schedule with the tattoo artist I requested. Spent a lot of time getting the design correct and the results were great. The space is immaculate and the staff were polite.
I have been going to Big Ink for years and have never been disappointed. I have gotten several tattoos done… the most recent one being this past weekend that was created by Mark. I tend to always give him ideas of what I want and have him create the perfect piece. I can’t wait for my next one. The piercers are great as well. My daughter will only go to Big Ink for her piercings. From the moment you walk in and get checked in with David or Seth until the moment you leave is always a good experience.
Wonderful place. Very clean with friendly staff. They made sure we had and knew everything we needed to properly take care of our piercings. The place was extremely clean and sterile and felt safe!
Jesse did my nose and navel piercing back when they were in the mall, those were my first body piercings other than my ears, and he made me feel the most comfortable. He made it quick, easy, and fun. Today he did my septum and I am absolutely obsessed! I highly recommend him, he’s a great piercer and this is a great shop!
I got my ears pierced here about a year ago while they were still at the mall, and more recently I got my eyebrow pierced at their new location in Corning. I had a great experience both times. They are extremely professional and lay out terms of service clearly. After getting my ears pierced I was light headed, they were kind and patient. I was given water and a couple pixie sticks and encouraged to stay as long as I needed. Piercings healed nicely and were placed well. Getting my eyebrow pierced was equally as pleasant. I had an appointment and was seen on time. The piercer does a great job explaining exactly what he is going to do, and what he needs you to do. Makes putting a needle through your skin as painless and quick as possible. In and out in 30 minutes. Highly recommend.
Big Ink is excellent! The staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. JD did my tattoo, and he was the epitome of professionalism. Now I need to save up so I can visit again!
I definitely recommend this shop for piercings, they’ve done my nose, septum and checked out my industrial when I got it done from someone else to make sure it was okay. I will definitely be going back for any other piercings!!
This shop is SUPER clean and very fairly priced. $65 for eyebrow AND nostril piercings. That would have been $120 easy around my home. Jesse was super knowledgeable, welcoming and professional. If Im ever in Corning again and want a piercing, Jesse is my dude.
I really wanted to like this place, everyone was very kind. Unfortunately I got my navel done here and it was pierced crooked and way too high up and not actually pierced through my navel. I understand that the navel piercing is an easy one to get messed up and can be particular with different anatomy; but I’m overall just really bummed that I had to take my piercing out. I wish that my piercing process was a little less rushed and that my piercer paid a little closer attention.
The only place I will ever go to get piercings done. Both Jesse and Mike are amazing at doing the piercings. I’ve been meaning to leave reviews and kept forgetting but they are definitely the place to go for any piercings. Such great people all around.
I would highly recommend anyone that wants a tattoo go to Mark at Big Ink! Mark made the whole experience as painless as possible. He took his time to get the tattoo perfect before starting. Mark worked quickly and the tattoo turned out better than I expected. I will continue to go to Big Ink for all of my future tattoos.
The place looks super clean and the staff presented themselves professionally. I appreciate the guy that did my conch piercing. He took the time to explain the process, what to expect and the aftercare.
I surprised my wife with her first tattoo for her birthday this past weekend. We used Big Ink and they were phenomenal! She was naturally nervous being her first time getting a tattoo but the awesome crew at Big Ink knew exactly what to do to calm the nerves and helped her relax and enjoy the experience. And Randy the artist who worked on my wife’s tattoo was beyond awesome, we couldn’t of asked for a more professional and patient person to help her through this awesome experience. Thank you to everyone at Big Ink and we are definitely headed back soon to get more work done.
Just had my first piercing done at Big Ink and I am so pleased with everything. Jesse was phenomenal!! I was nervous getting my nose done, but he made me laugh and made me feel super comfortable. Totally recommend this business and especially Jesse for piercings!
Absolutely amazing tattoo . It’s perfect . Mark is excellent .everyone was very friendly
Very polite and professional. Got my septum done here and the piercer walked me through the process which was very quick and easy, and explained the aftercare very well. Everyone here is amazing and I will definitely be going back here for any future piercings I get. 10/10 would recommend!
I got a nostril piercing, and it was a great experience! Barely felt any pain, mostly pressure. The piercer (Mikey) was friendly, knowledgeable, and explained everything he was doing; and everything about aftercare. Ill definitely be back at some point for my tattoo!
Amazing people and I highly recommend Jessie as a piercer, I had my eyebrow pierced and for my first time there everyone was so friendly and excepting!! Ill definitely be returning.
I went to Mark Haley junior for my pastel tattoo and he was very thorough and pleasant throughout the whole process. Did most of the work the first go, and went back a month later to do the blue background and small touch ups. My tattoo looks great, the whole staff is friendly and I’m super happy with my experience!
Yesterday my best friend and I got matching tattoos from their new artist Randy. He was very welcoming, clean, professional, and great company throughout the experience. I was amazed at how little pressure he applied with the needle. Felt like a ballpoint pen gliding across the skin. My friend already booked another appointment with him and I will be too in the near future. I have been tatted by jaydee, Billy, and now Randy. As always it was a great experience with friendly, committed staff as they pop in and out checking in on you and the artist making sure you’re comfortable and relaxed.
Great place, large and clean offices. Friendly staff. Got my first rib tattoo done by Randy and he did a phenomenal job. He talks and jokes, let you pick music to listen to and makes you feel comfortable.
Jaydee did a phenomenal job on my memorial piece for my mom. I couldnt of been happier with the tattoo, It came out super clean after it was done. I highly recommend this place, and all of the other staff that are there are very welcoming. I will definitely be back for more ink soon!
Excellent customer service! I came in to receive my first tattoo and it was a very pleasant experience. Everyone there was very friendly and helpful with all the questions I had. I will definitely be coming back for the next tattoo!
My best friend and I had the absolute pleasure of spending the day at BigInk on Saturday. We were both getting two pieces done, so we took up the whole afternoon. We were lucky enough to have our artist be Randy Mawhiney. Not only is his work exceptional, but he was clean, thorough, and gentle. But his company throughout the day made our time there so much more enjoyable than youd ever think possible. All around the best experience weve ever had. He has acquired, not only two life long customers, but we will be sending everyone we know his way from now on. 100 out of 10, for him, the other employees, the business, and the experience.
I went to Jaydee with a very big tattoo idea planned. I picked a couple aspects of it but gave him free reign with the rest, afterall, he is the artist. A few visits later and I ended up with the most gorgeous and creative half sleeve I have ever laid eyes on and it is all mine. We are slowly transitioning it into a full sleeve but letting the piece flow and speak for itself. He put so much time and effort into this piece with my tastes and styles in mind and I cant imagine ever letting anyone else tattoo me ever again. Hands down the greatest experience and he is so easy to talk to and get along with. 10/10 recommend.
Always friendly, always helpful, excellent work, and sometimes that one guy will make your day with his irreverent humor. Jesse is my main piercer and my cousin gets all her tattoos done by JD.
I have been going to Big Ink for 10 years and if you are looking for quality, atmosphere and cleanliness this is the place to go. Professionalism is top notch and work is exquisite. I would fly cross country for the experience.
Jaydee is FREAKING INCREDIBLE!!! He’s done my last four tattoos and I will never go anywhere else!! He’s professional while still being a riot, and super easy to get along with. He takes my crazy ideas and makes them work better than I could have ever imagined. If you’re looking for an amazing tattoo artist, he’s the guy you want!!!
I’ve had all of my piercings and several tattoos done at Big Ink, and I have never had a bad experience. Every single staff member is always welcoming, and makes you feel comfortable. Jesse has done all of my piercings, and I love everything about his process. The music he plays is very relaxing. I love that he talks to you before and during piercing you. His 1–2–3 breath count he has you do helps so much, and he is always thorough in explaining the cleaning process. I’ve had my tattoos done by Jaydee and Randy, and I’ve always left in love with what they did. They both take into consideration what you truly want, while also being honest about what would look best in terms of placement and size. They’re both great at holding conversations and so easy to talk to. I’m heartbroken that I’ll be moving and in just a few weeks won’t be able to have Jaydee do my tattoos anymore. Jaydee has been my favorite tattoo artist, and I’ll be looking for someone that matches his level of talent and passion when I move.
Came here two different times- for a septum piercing and also yesterday two lobe piercings.Both times I got Jesse, who is such a great piercer. He makes sure his tools are sterile and he kept my comfort in mind both times. He also had great music playing, which is a huge plus! If I want more piercings Ill be sure to come back on a day that Jesse is working, hes seriously great at his job and so professional but also calming at the same time. Hes efficient, quick, makes sure youre doing alright throughout the process, and managed to pierce me four whole times without any issues within the span of like 8 minutes?? I dont even know how thats possible. Seriously big props.Also I forgot the h2o salt spray and they called me to let me know so I could come back and grab it, which was so appreciated. Super professional, sweet, and caring staff. Thank you guys so much!Edit as of 11/9/2021 ! They have relocated to Corning and it’s a gorgeous place. Jesse has now pierced my tongue and also my lip doing a vertical labret. I always specifically ask for him. Thank you guys very much.
I’ve been to Big Ink for my nose piercing and both tattoos… would recommend their services without reservation! They also changed my nose ring for me when I was too nervous to try it myself. Will certainly go back for my next tattoo!
I don’t normally do this type of thing but I feel it is necessary. I have been getting all of my tattoos done by Jaydee. He is very professional and takes a lot of pride in his work. He listens to everything that I want and takes the time to help me piece it all together until it’s perfect. That alone is a huge deal and made me feel comfortable going back to him every time I have a new tattoo idea. Jaydee is personable and very easy to carry a conversation with. I am beyond thankful and impressed with what we have done with my sleeve so far. He will be the only one doing my sleeve and much more.
Before moving to their new location in Corning I’ve been to Big Ink for both tattoos and piercings. Everything is always so clean, organized, and the environment welcoming. Also, even before COVID all staff were and are very sanitary. I’ve known Mark for years, but I’ve also have come to know the other staff members over the years. One of the many reasons I’ll continue to come/go to Big Ink for my services :).
Took my younger sister here for a piercing and her piercer was Jesse. He gave a no pressure relaxed environment. The receptionist Seth was also very helpful, a friendly face to see when you walk through the door.
I was a walk-in on Thursday the 27th. They were fully booked but an appointment didn’t show so they were able to squeeze me in for a conch piercing. Mikey did my piercing and he was very kind and professional with me. He explained everything he was going to do, allowed me to check the marked placement for the piercing and showed me the tools he was going to use. He answered any questions I had and he was very friendly. I would highly recommended this shop. All the equipment was sterile and clean and the staff was friendly and professional.
Walked in to get a piercing and the piercer was very condescending and overall had a horrible attitude. He did nothing to make me feel comfortable and yelled at me several times to “keep my hands down” when they were resting in my lap. He made me extremely anxious and uncomfortable and after the first piercing, I stopped him and told him I did not want the other one. The nerves I had because of him and the pain from the piercing made me feel lightheaded and when laying down, he was yelling at me over a waiver no one at the desk had given me to read. He proceeded to tell me that if I went elsewhere to get the second piercing, it would never look good or match the one he did and tried to guilt me into the piercing. When I insisted I did not want the other piercing, he became visibly angry and did not talk to me until I left the shop. I am a fairly tattooed and pierced person and this is not my first go-around. I would never tolerate someone treating me like this, especially when they are piercing or tattooing my body. I paid for what he completed and left. Later that afternoon, I went to another shop to get the second one done. It came out perfect and the piercer was amazing. No lightheadedness and no pain. The piercer went lengths to make me comfortable and gave me props for walking out on Big Ink. I would never recommend coming to Big Ink to even my worst enemy.
I had a appointment. Called in right on time no wait. Jesse told me about the piercing, told me What he was doing the whole time, and was very outgoing. He is the best body piercer I been too and I am in love with my vertical tragus piercing. Thanks so much. Wonderful service. Will be coming back
Jaydee is the greatest tattoo artist Ive ever met! Not only is he super talented but he listens to everything you want when it comes to work! If you ask for something he will make sure you get it! On top of that he is an amazing guy all around!!!
Jesse has done my Daith, Conch, and Rook piercings and I’ll be coming back for any future piercings. He talked me through everything he’s doing and aftercare instructions and I haven’t had any issues with any of my piercings. He’s quick with the needle which keeps the pain to a minimum. He’s in the shop Monday and Tuesday so I always wait until I have one of those days off work to make an appointment. I highly recommend asking for him and I wouldn’t go to anyone else!
The best place in our area to get all your tattoos and piercings! The artists and staff are super amazing and very professional. Hunter took amazing care of us with setting everything up! Thank you Boo for all the amazing work!!
Always love my tattoos! David and Hunter are always great with booking and confirming appointments! Mark is always super pleasant, and does amazing work; always exceeds my expectations!
Got’em done by B I T tattooist name Jaden done tattooing my knee… remember me Jaden!!?? chuckling coming BACK in few days!!!Respectfully B I Tcychowillie
Me and my boyfriend both got tattooed by Randy and we absolutely love them! Randy was so light handed that I wanted to fall asleep! I love his enthusiasm and excitement about doing my nightmare before Christmas themed tattoo. He is absolutely awesome and I cant wait to go back for more
I got to say big ink is legit, they are awesome at what they do and I have gotten 3 tattoos in the last few months all by boo, that guy can tat, all 3 have been just what I wanted and I will highly recommend them, I have about 25 tattoos and im very picky who does my work and was skeptical about them at first just because I didnt know them but now that I do I highly recommend you book with them if you want something. Im comfortable and confident to get whatever I want there from them and am looking forward to another one eventually and letting boo work his talents. Thanks guys you rock 🤘.
So, as a dumb 18 year old i chose to get my first tattoo on my ribs. Luckily for me, my tattoo artist was Randy. He was so amazing! He was very patient and friendly. I was not an easy client but he took his time and gave me a beautiful tattoo! I can not express enough how much easier he made the whole process. 10/10 service!
JayDee is one of the best Tattoo artists in the area, he’s done 4 of my 6 tattoos and every one of them has turned out fantastic. Knows exactly what he’s doing and is very patient with his clients. Always charges a good price for amazing quality work. Anyone looking to get a tattoo should go see JayDee.
The atmosphere was super chill, but professional. All of the staff were friendly and efficient. Jaydee was my artist, and he did a great job! This is my first tattoo and even though it was super painful, I had an enjoyable experience!
I used to love getting pierced here. A guy named Mikey used to do all of my piercings and they turned out great. The last 2 times Ive went, Ive gotten pierced by a guy with long black hair, the first time the piercings were significantly more painful to get done. I thought it was just me, so I went back to get my belly button pierced a week ago. Over time, the balls of the bar were embedding themselves into my skin, I went to a different studio to get the longest curved barbell available, and even then it was too short. I had to take it out. I wont be getting pierced here again.
I give 5 stars to the piercer, he was amazing! Makes you feel completely comfortable and walks you thru the process step by step. The only bad thing is that he deserves to work for a much better business.I had paid 80 dollars for a consult for a tattoo, my 2 minute consult consisted of them printing off a picture of what I already knew I wanted. Then come to find out they cannot do the tattoo for a few weeks, mind you only the workers were there. The so called manager is the most unprofessional person Ive run into in a long time. He tried to convince me a picture of my tattoo is a consult for 80 dollars! No refunds!! I guess they need the money to pay the mall rent!!I went to 5 Star Tattoo, ahhh what a difference, the staff was so pleasant to work with and NO 80 dollars to talk and get a picture! 5 star did an amazing job on my tattoo and is very affordable, it costs about as much as my consult with big ink.Please check out 5 star tattoo before even going to big ink, unless you want a piercing, he was awesome.
I have been a customer for years getting tattoos from Big Ink. Theres no other place I would get a tattoo but from them. They are professional, follow all guidelines to keep their place tip top, and the wait to get in may be lengthy but its worth it in the end.Matter of fact Im going back for more in the next few months to finish my piece with Mark Haley Sr. You wont be disappointed going to Big Ink in Corning NY.
This was my second tattoo by Boo. Both are of excellent quality. He is a great artist who adapted to amy and all of my needs. My family took up a whole afternoon with family tattoos honoring then whole family. Well done Boo and thank you for your patience, professionalism, and artistry.
There is no phone number on their site. However, Tim is a great tattoo artist. Hes one of the best. He takes his time and make sure your tatt looks clean, clear and just what you wanted. Go see TIM!
Today I had an appointment with Mark . The new place was clean and very welcoming . My tattoo is beautiful and everything I wanted . I trusted every creative choice he made and I’m happy I did . He was patient , friendly , super creative and light handed . I’m blown away by the result . Highly recommend
WOW! These guys are phenomenal :) I really wanted a nose piercing, but every other place I tried was either sketchy, or so expensive. Here, they were SO helpful and encouraging (even though I was very nervous) and they did a fantastic job making the process comfortable, and they explained everything very well.
I had a great experience the minute I walked in the door. The shop was clean and the front desk staff were courteous and attentive. I had a tattoo done by Boo and I wouldnt think of going anywhere else. I highly recommend Big Ink.
I was having an issue with an old piercing closing up. Jessie helped me without an appointment because I was going out of town. He was so friendly and gentle
Jesse pierced my nose and he did a great job. He had a calming presence and also an epic playlist on. The business was also spotlessly clean and professional!!
Brought our daughter here to pierce her ears for her 9th birthday. Easy to schedule and person I spoke to was very helpful. Facility was clean and staff was friendly.
Ive gotten two tattoos through this establishment and I definitely recommend them. Please set time aside. Good work takes time.
I was tattooed by Randy, it was such a welcoming environment and made the process so much better. I loved the outcome, it was so clean!! He was very supportive during the process and was very sanitary. Definitely recommend and will be coming back
I have been going to this shop for years. Everyone in shop is great company! I always feel welcome. Jaydee is who I let tattoo me. I have many pieces done by him and I dont have one thing to complain about! Jaydee is soooo talented and does FANTASTIC work! I cannot wait to get back in his chair! Thanks for all the great work Jaydee!
The shop is very clean and the staff is very professional. Mikey did a great job and was very thorough with the process and making sure he had answered all our questions before we left. We will definitely be back! Thank you!
Absolutely love this place, Jaydee is a godsend at the needle, I refuse to go anywhere else! Hes done my last 4 tattoos at reasonable prices to considering how long he had to work! Seriously though if you looking for a tattoo shop that does beautiful work for a reasonable price go here!
Have gotten most of my piercings done here and every time had a great experience with helpful staff who were willing to answer all my questions and direct me in the correct answer way for aftercare. Had my first tattoo done here by Jaydee and I’m in love! Highly recommend!
Went in to get a daith piercing done - after set-up was informed that it probably wouldnt be a good idea with the shape of my ear. Highly respect that the staff is more concerned about their customers than about making a quick buck. Everyone was very friendly & wait time was short.
Big Ink is such a great place, Ill only go there to see Jaydee. He does amazing work, not only do you get great work done, you also get great conversations in the process. Everyone has their own please they want to go for tattoos , Big Ink is mine.
I’ve gotten all of my piercings and tattoos done here! Love it! Always a professional and comfortable experience! Definitely would recommend. Love Erik for tattoos!
I’ve gotten two lip rings and my ears pierced with them and I love how professional their staff is and how clean the setup is. This is my favorite place to get pierced.
Very clean, very polite. Excellent pricing. I live all the way in Virginia and I still drive to Big Ink because they do such a nice job. Will come back for my next piercing.
I wont go anywhere else! Very professional when it comes to tattoos and piercings. Each tattooist has a specialty they excel in but can do anything Ive asked for or seen. Very clean! As well as not overly priced. I dont care where I live in the USA I will travel to come back home if I want another tattoo, No questions asked.
My friend went here for a piercing and they were amazing. The guy checking people in is very funny and nice. The piercer was very nice and did a good job. Her piercing is very well done
I recently got my tragus pierced, and they all were friendly! The piercer walked throughout all the steps he was going to do very nice and quick as well. Plus made sure most of the bleeding stopped^.^
They were extremely friendly and clean it was a great experience other then it was extremely warm after seating there for couple hours getting a tattoo completed my friend and myself along with the tattoo artist were all sweating some ac would be a great addition
I love this place! Ive gotten 3 piercings done there and every time the piercers make sure to answer all my questions and make the piercings so quick and painless!
Place is super clean, very professional, and very experienced artist. Would recommend to anybody
I have gone to Jesse for 4 piercings. He is awesome and is very kind. He is an expert with patient care. Thanks for all yall do!
Literally the best place to get your ouchies. The artists and staff are incredibly knowledgeable and kind. Hunter specifically has been an amazing addition to the team and always takes great care of us when we come in!
JayDee did a memorial tattoo of my dog Mandy. He was very professional and easy on my skin. He didnt over work it at all. He was also easy to talk to, which I do a lot when I get nervous. JayDee made me feel very relaxed. Before his machine was even cooled I started talking to him about my next one!
Everyone made me feel very welcome and helped calm my nerves before going back. They keep everything very clean and did an awesome job telling me how to clean my piercing.
They are amazing. They just did piercing for my husband. Very nice and down to earth place great staff and amazing work
Mark boo haley did tattoos for our whole immediate family. One that we consider particularly special to us. Excellent work in which we are all very happy with.
I got my first tattoo here and got my second holes as well. This is the only place i will go to get anything done. I have terrible luck with piercings, they usually always get infected but I got them done here and was perfect. My first tattoo healed beautifully as well. Im going to get my second tattoo and know that it will be a quality tattoo.
Friendly staff, clean environment, reasonable prices
What a beautiful shop. Took my daughted to get her nose pierced today. Jessie, was amazing! Kind, gentle and informative. Highly recommend!
Mark captured everything I envisioned for my half sleeve, could not be happier with the outcome. All of the staff there is friendly and accommodating. Very clean environment and professional. Highly recommend Big Ink!
Quick and easy appointment scheduling, and the people that work there are super nice! It took about 20 minutes to get in and out with the piercing and everyone was making sure to talk to me while it was getting done.
Mark with the long curly hair was definitely on something when i got my tattoo. I had one side done and that was fine but i brought the same stencil back to get the other side done amd somehow he managed ro not only make it smaller, but way higher up than the other side. He refused to return my calls and wouldnt fix it. Never going again now I have to figure out how to pay for a cover up. Thanks mark!
I took my daughter to get her ears pierced by Mikey at the recommendation of several friends. Fantastic experience- he took the time to explain every step along the way, and was very kind!
I have been going to Mark for all of my tattoos since I turned 18. Hes done nothing but the best work. Hands down the best artist around! Highly recomend.
Mark was absolutely amazing with the design and completion of my cover up! Totally worth the hour and a half drive! Shop is so clean and staff are very professional
Big Ink is THE place to go for your tattoos and piercings! Very professional and friendly people that know what they are doing! Their art is amazing in my opinion. I would highly recommend them!
THEE most talented artists around. I refuse to go anywhere else for tattoos or piercings. The customer service is incredible—staff is professional, fun, and knowledgeable; Skill level is out of this world.
Went in for a Daith piercing. They were friendly and efficient. It didnt hurt at all and they explained everything so well. I would definitely recommend them!
From the scheduler, to the piwrcer, to the tattoo artist....these guys are the best. JAYDEE!!! Ill never go anywhere else...thanks to all of you...Im so happy with your work Id never go anywhere else. Keeping it classy at BIG INK♥️♥️♥️
Very good very pleased booked for the whole day
Jesse was amazing! I got my tragus pierced and he gave good instructions and was super friendly. Highly recommend!
I will only go to Big Ink to get my piercings done. The room is sterile and everything is opened in front of you before the piercing. The piercer goes step by step with the instructions and makes me more comfortable. I will be getting more piercings from this location.
Great place, wonderful people and easy piercings with everything carefully explained. It was a dope experience for my first piercing.
Took my daughter here for her first tattoo. Not only was the piece amazing but he and all the staff there were great to work with!
Mark did an amazing job on my first tattoo!!
Got my daughters (6yrs.) ears pierced at Big Ink and it was a great experience. Highly recommend.
Loved my experience...everyone was so nice...tattoo looks fabulous...piercing is already healing...after just three weeks...Im obsessed...
I am responding to below message from Rebecca Summers also known as Rebecca Howard . This young lady has paid at the time of each session for the work she received that day. Our shop always has run a rate of $125 per hour. On March 4, 2016 she came in and paid $425 for the work she received that day. She returned for a second session on March 26, 2016 and paid $150 for the service she received that day . On the March 26th sit she added 2 roses to the original design. She called today wanting to finish the piece. She has a claim that she was quoted and has paid $800? You pay by the session ... There was no set cost determined for this piece. When you add to a piece this also increases the time it will take in turn raising the price. This is not the first time or shop this has happened with this young lady.Thank You,Big Ink
I got my tragus pierced here a few years ago, I was super excited about the piercing and also this shop based on reviews, when I got there the guy in the front was pleasant, but the shorter guy that did the piercing seem bothered by any questions I had, seemed like he just wanted to get me pierced and out, maybe it was just a case of Napoleon complex on his part, not sure, but my experience sucked thanks to him.
I had a great experience getting my septum pierced here. Mikey was wonderful! 10/10 would go back!
Went today and got a peircing. Best peircing experience I have ever had. Checking in was a breeze and the peircer was amazing. Very nice and very professional. This will be the only place I will be going for any work.
Have gotten all of mine, and daughters piercings there! Last tattoo also, and scheduled for my next. Entire staff is amazing!!
Mikey was amazing and very fast about piecing my tounge!🩷
Boo did my tat. I absolutely love it. And it didnt hurt very much at all. They were all very pleasant to me and helped me get the exact tat I wanted. Word of advice: dont use google for Japanese translations. Definitely worth my money and I will be back for my next one.
Very professional and pleasant. Have had a piercing for myself and for my daughters and would definitely go back again.
I took my daughter to get her ears pierced here. Overall very clean and professional, and did super well with a child.
Great place. Great people. Awesome tattoos
This is the only place I will go for tattoos or piercings. The owners are absolutely amazing! The other employees are also super cool! The work is such great quality it is absolutely worth it!
Very good environment! Super nice people and very clear with aftercare instructions and just general knowledge of the piercing. 12/10
Jay Dee is a talented artist. The new studio is amazing, so modern, and clean. Highly recommend Jay Dee and Big Ink.
The staff was super professional and made me feel comfortable in getting my nose pierced! The shop was also very clean.
I love this place... Mark is AWESOME tatoo artist. I have been going to Mark for over 10 + years. You give him an idea of what you want and he draws the most amazing tatoos for you.. Best tattoo artist ever....
They are phenomenal! Super friendly and made everything more comfortable! The place is very clean. I highly recommend and Ill definitely be back!
Randy (tattoo) and Mikey (piercing) were so friendly and did such an amazing, beautiful job! I cannot be more happy!!
MIkey is my go-to guy for piercings! he does amazing work and he is great at walking you through the process, Thanks man!
Ive gone here twice, they pierced both my eyebrows and septum. Theyre super nice and the place is clean and professional. :)
Awesome people all are very perfessional. Mark Haley just finished an amazing piece for my wife definitely recommend for Awesome work

Seth was very wonderful .... Very professional n Mark Haley did amazing job on my tattoo...Highly recommend....5 stars
TOOK MY 2 DAUGHTERS FOR HELIX & BELLY BUTTON PIERCINGS. THE STAFF IS FAST, KNOWLEDGEABLE, CLEAN & COURTEOUS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ WITH REASONABLE PRICES FOR PIERCINGS!!
Got 6g piercing done, day 3 zero issues, clean shop!!! amazing staff will be back
Dont go here for a belly button piercing. It was a while ago when I got it but it kept getting infected and I had no idea why. I went to an actual professional and he told me it kept getting infected because the piercer at the arnot mall did it way too high on my stomach. So it was more of a surface piercing than a belly button piercing
Amazing place - very clean and friendly staff! Boo did an amazing job in my tattoo!!
They definitely take walk ins, I Got my navel done there and he did great I felt no pain, he told me everything that he was doing and he was very thorough!
This place was as rude as you could ever be to a person and not get arrested, all because I wanted to return a faulty item. In the end I did not get a replacement or a refund. I got kicked out just for asking for one.
I would highly recommend!!! Staff is very friendly and one of the gentleman name Pop Tart he sure can make you feel welcome and make anyone day!
Really great with letting you know the whole process love the new shop its alot more comfortable and relaxing definitely will come again
Thank you, Jesse. He was awesome and made my daughter very comfortable during her piercings.
