Defiant Designs

Had my very first tattoo done August 31. Jeff and the rest of the individuals working there are me feel comfortable and welcome. Jeff was very patient with me being very nervous and helped me relax. The area was sterilized and clean and he showed me how everything is brand new and package per person. He took his time and was adamant about me being 100% satisfied! I would highly recommend Deiant Designs.

Love Defiant Designs!!! Jeff has done a few pieces on me that are spectacular. Conner has been a wonderful addition to the shop. Casey handles all my wifes and kids piercings. Always leave satisfied and thinking about the next one... the guys are Awesome!!!

Grabbed my first tattoo here with Tony. Great experience. Tony not only helped me understand what would make a good tattoo, but also helped me decide on the best decision for placement. They squeezed me in on short notice, had a fair price, and a pretty rad environment. Definitely will be back.

This shop is amazing! Everyone is very friendly and super creative. Jeff Bird often sits down with me to figure out exactly what I want and then creates the most amazing tattoo. They never disappoint and I wouldnt go anywhere else.

Moved back home a few months ago, and I been wanting a sleeve Tattoo. After doing some research, and looking at photos, I decided to stop in. The atmosphere was not intimidating like other tattoo shops. You felt comfortable. I was then assigned to Tony to design the tattoo, and he didnt disappoint. We are 3 sessions in, and we are continuing to finish up the piece in a couple weeks. The work is great and love the pay attention to details he had. I will be coming back for sure for future tattoo work.

Havent had work done here but the customer service is amazing! He stayed and talked with us went over options and actually spent time with you.

Awesome place and awesome people. i would give more stars if i could. the shop was clean and professional and everyone was cool as hell.I came into the shop as a walk in for a tattoo and was nervous about not knowing what i even wanted, but Tony took the time to sit down with me and figure it out- which i didn’t expect but highly appreciate!He did an amazing job on my new favorite tatt and gave me solid advice on all my first world problems i complained about lol

For everybody planning on getting a tattoo, you may want to seriously reconsider using Defiant Designs. Due to a total lack of professionalism on the part of their tattooer Tony and supported by the owner of the shop, on August 2nd, 2023 my family and I will no longer recommend this shop to anyone. Despite having a follow-up appointment to fix a botched tattoo that was previously done by Tony, we arrived at the shop 10 minutes prior to our appointment time and were informed by the shop owner that Tony is out. With no regard at all to the fact we just drove across town, instead of the shop having common courtesy and informing us that Tony would not be in. The owner was fully aware that this appointment was made to repair the damage and poor quality of workmanship that was produced by Tony on a prior occasion, and if nothing else he or one of the other artist who were standing around should have stepped up and offered to repair the botched tattoo that was produced by Tony. On multiple occasions, we have visited the shop only to be made feel like we dont belong or are a burden being there. Overall, the last few experiences we have had with this shop could be described as extremely unpleasant and unwelcoming

Connor is amazing. He touched up my tattoo & basically redid a bad tattoo my husband had. Incredible attention to detail & so patient talking through the best way to approach everything. Highly recommend him & the shop. Everyone is so personable.

Such a clean environment!! Love my tattoo Connor did! Already booked with him again to touch up a tattoo from another artist. While there for my tattoo, I last minute decided to get a piercing and Cassy did an amazing job!

I’ve had 2 sessions so far with Jeff, with more already scheduled. I leave each time even more impressed. My experience has been amazing, as Jeff is very friendly, easy to work with and very talented, being able to bring ideas to life! Very clean, relaxing environment with great people. I highly recommend!

Had Connor fix up a tattoo from a different artist and he did a great job! Very focused and diligent with his work. Place was clean and welcoming, would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quality artist

Jeff and Casey are amazing! Jeff has done numerous tattoos on my husband and one on me (so far). Casey has done a number of piercings on me. Never hurt and healed beautifully! I highly recommend this shop! Professional, clean, exceptionally talented.

I got my first professional tattoo here, and even without having been to other shops I can tell that this is the best place to go. Connor did an incredible job with the stencil and with the ink itself. Will definitely be coming here again soon!

This place has a very comfortable atmosphere with very nice people. I was seen within ten minutes. Casey did my piercing. He was amazing through the whole process. Very nice and you feel like you have known him forever. Love my piercings!!!

Two friends and myself walked into defiant designs tonight and Reggie tattooed all three of us. He was so amazing and thorough and I loved how he was always checking in on us to make sure we were OK and that we were happy with everything. The new location is huge and super clean. Everyone that works there is hilarious and fun to be around. I had such a positive experience that I’d even go back there just to hang out. I’ll never go anywhere else for another tattoo/piercing ever again.

Defiant designs is a top notch tattoo and piercing studio. Jeff has done two tattoos for me and I will never go to anyone else. His artistry is incredible and he and the other artists there are personable and make the atmosphere comfortable. The new shop is still in the works but looks great and has even more potential to grow.

This is where Ive gotten my only tattoos. Jeff is so talented, and good natured. Ive never met such a great artist! He walked me through my first tattoo so I wasnt afraid. Ive been a repeat customer, and would recommend Defiant Designs to anyone looking for a tattoo or piercing.

Friendly, clean, and knowledgeable. We went for a piercing for our daughters birthday & had a great experience. This was our second trip for a piercing. Well definitely be back.

Cured my tumor that the doctors said was incurable - best people ever did an amazing job

Jeff has done 4 tattoos for me.....so far..... all custom, all amazing!!!!! My husband and my daughter have also been tattooed by Jeff, Reggie & Bri!!! Casey is an amazing piercer and my daughter & I have several piercings from him!! We would never go anywhere else! Professional, Clean & Fun!!!!!

This is the only place I have gone for all my tattoos...Jeff is amazing! I have learned to go in with more of an open mind on an idea rather than going in having my heart set on one thing because his ideas I end up loving more than what I came up with! All of the artists are very talented! & Casey has done a few of my piercings as well very clean & professional! Highly recommend this place

Reggie has done all 3 of my tattoos and Jeff did my moms first tattoo. They are amazing, friendly, and good company. Casey pierced my belly button and I wont go through anywhere else! They are reasonably priced too!

I had a very good first tattoo experience. Connor did amazing work And the environment chill and comfortable. The staff is very friendly and the shop was super clean. Highly recommended and definitely going again for piercings and tattoos.

I met with Connor at Defiant Designs for my first piece, and it was a very good experience. Everyone was friendly and responsive to my ideas. I was very happy with price transparency and honest dialogue. The piece came out better than I imagined and immediately made a follow up appointment.

I have basically lived at Defiant ever since I was 18. I love being able to walk in and everyone knows your name and its friendly and clean! Jeff, Reggie, Bran, and Casey are super amazing at what they do. Its an awesome environment to be in while getting some top notch ink. (And the prices are pretty great for what you get)

Me and my friend made appointments here, after another piercer did not show up after we drove 45 minutes for the appointment. We ended up calling almost every piercing shop in the area and Defiant Designs was the only one that answered their phone, let alone being able to squeeze us in. Our experience here was wonderful, the shop was clean, and Casey was professional and explained everything thoroughly, making this overall a very positive experience.

I have 4 Jeff Bird original tattoos. Its amazing how you can just give him an idea and he can create such amazing works of art. And its a huge bonus hes one great guy tooo. I also have piercings done by Casey, hes fantastic as well. The environment here is sooo great and you really feel like family. I will always come here for any of my tattoos or piercings.

Jeff and Defiant Designs did a great job on my newest tattoo. He took the time to listen what I was looking for. I will definitely be heading back to his clean and friendly shop.

My daughter and I got our navels pierced, he did a great job with good humor and total professionalism. Clean, focused and careful, but he kept us smiling through everything. Made sure we understood after care instructions, and offered ongoing help with new jewelry when needed. Very well done.

Jeff and the guys at defiant designs are the only ones in this area that I will go to. Theyre all super professional, and their work really speaks for itself.On my 18th birthday Jeff did a tattoo for me in memory of my late grandmother, and when I saw the finished piece, it was so beautiful that I cried. He really puts his all into each and every tattoo, from beginning to end, he works diligently to make sure that the tattoo youre getting is everything you wanted and more.

Casey is very helpful with helping you decide on a piercing. I am glad that he is honest about if a certain piercing would be worth it for you in the long run instead of doing it anyway, i had originally planned on getting an industrial, but he was honest and said that because of how my ears are it probably would be best to just not do it. And i am a bit sad, but id rather him be honest and for that Im grateful. Instead i ended up getting a septum piercing and he was phenomenal, it didnt really hurt and he was very quick about getting it done instead of screwing around like some other people have when piercing me. I had a great experience,10/10 will come back for another piercing

I’ve gotten multiple tattoos from here by Connor. He does incredible work! His designs were spot on, and the execution perfect. The shop is laid back and fun. Definitely recommend this place!

If I could I would give them a 10 star they where welcoming and vary nice the guy who did my tattoo was vary sweet and talked me through it because I was scared it was my first tattoo definitely going back to get another sometime

I am not a young person, and recently got my first tattoo at Defiant Designs. Jake created the exact replica of my writing. The experience was excellent, and I returned for a second tattoo. Jake is a genuine artist; I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting beautiful body art.

My sister and I have had our last few tattoos done by Jeff the owner. We likely it there. The fact that Jeff draws something special just for you makes it so much better. Never just gives you a piece of flash. He makes the piece personal just for you. Thank you Jeff! You rock!!

The best shop in the Southern Tier! All of the artists are amazing and very talented. They always make you feel comfortable and welcome. Every experience I have had with them has been phenomenal, and the execution of pieces have been perfect. If youre looking for quality, custom work, look no further!

Amazing place! Beautiful shop and very friendly and talented artists. Jeff has done two extensive biomechanical pieces on my forearm and chest. The line work is always superb and the amount of effort put in to make sure you love every last detail is the reason i always return. As soon as i can scrap up a few extra dollars you know im gonna get a shoulder piece to tie them together!

Jeff is awesome, takes time to get to know everyone here tattoos. VERY reasonably priced, had a great staff Casey and Jake are just as friendly. All three are highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic. Went and got tattooed by Rob. He was so nice the entirety of the time I was getting it done. All the staff are friendly, tattoos look fantastic, prices are reasonable and they will work with you if you happen to have a set budget. Will never go anywhere else but here for tattoos in the future .

Theres no other shop I would trust more than this one. Jeff is an amazing artist and has a crew that portrays even more so what a great person and mentor he is in general. I highly recommend anyone and everyone stop in and get some amazing ink or a piercing!!!!

I’m from out of town. At 46 years young, I got a bug to get my nose pierced. I went to another shop and they wouldn’t wait on me, as you needed an appointment.That brought me to Defiant , and I am so glad it did !I was very skeptical just based on the neighborhood and being from out of town, I decided to take my chances. As soon as I walked in the front door, I knew I was in good hands.Casey explained the whole process, was very humorous and kind, we chatted like old friends, the whole time. His room was clean and so were the instruments. The whole staff made you feel like family..Thank you Defiant for making my piercing experience an awesome one.

Jeff bird is an amazing tatoo artist! He has original ideas and so much talent! He has done 3 awesome tatoos for me and I have never been disappointed ! His shop is very clean and everyone is always friendly. I wouldnt go anywhere else. go get a tatoo from Defiant Designs in johnson city!!

Ive known Jeff for awhile now and ever sence i met him our main conversation was getting in for some ink. Once i did havent stoped! The #1shop in the area! Became friends with the whole crew...three very talented artists in there own way and i might ad the best piercer around! Good looking (((Defiant Designs)))..ill always be back!

Awesome place to get some custom ink therapy done. Very friendly and phenomenal work! Jake Anthony does a outstanding job. Absolutely love his custom art peices that he will draw up and design for you to make it one of a kind!

Cool Bri is my favorite tattoo artist! I got a rib piece recently and she made the whole experience as comfortable as possible. She is professional and creative! One of the few artists that I really trust.

I had Jeff do a hibiscus and dragonfly tattoo on my arm. I went back yesterday just to do a touch up and Jeff spent a lot of time on it. I didnt think it was possible to love my tat anymore than I already did but....I do!!! If you live near or around Broome county and want an amazingly beautiful tattoo you have to check out Defiant Designs!

Best tattoo shop I’ve even been in! Jeff is the best tattoo artist you could ask for and the staff as a whole makes you feel welcome and makes you feel at home! If you want laughs and talent this is your place!

Casey was great, very patient when piercing my 5yr olds ears. Very thorough as well. My 16yr old also had a great experience. Definitely recommend!!

Jeff has done all of my ink. He is a fantastic artist and I get compliments where ever I go.Dont hesitate to call them and make an appointment!

Dont get me wrong I bled a little bit but it was totally worth it cause I loved how my piercing turned out in the end and the workers there are mad chill and I would definitely recommend getting a piercing there again 😌

This place is the best. so much love for casey, pierced my nose perfectly and helped me when i wanted it change, he is the man. definitely will come back when i need more❤️

So far Casey has given me a conch and two helix piercings. All have been done well and less painfully than expected. Shop is very clean and employees are professional and kind. I will be coming back for more piercings and possibly tattoos

This is one of the best places in the area. Jeff is an outstanding artist and Casey is a very professional piercer. 10/10 would recommend these guys.

Jeff and Casey have been my artist for a decade and are 2 of the best people I know. Would recommend to anyone. Very proud of what they have done.

Made an appt yesterday to get a specific piercing..drove all the way to said appt, was on time. Get there and they dont have the jewelry!! Seriously ugh..not happy

Defiant Designs is hands down the best Tattoo shop around! Jeff and the guys are awesome to be around and there is always a great atmosphere in the shop!

Jeff is a fantastic artist and the tattoos he puts out are top quality and reasonably priced. Nothing but good things to say about the whole place.

They changed a piercing for me. The nicest people. I will be going back there for more piercings and to have others changed out.

The owner is super nice I helped fix the aquarium in there and was surprised how nice the staff was and the amazing work they do I would recommend this place to anyone there level of cleanliness is of upmost consideration for there clients hope this helps your in good hands

I got my first tattoo ever from Jeff at Defiant Designs. Not only is he a fantastic artist, but he made the whole process easy and fun.

Went there to get my ears repierced and they were amazing and I even got some advice about a cover up tattoo...will definitely be going back and would definitely recommend 👌

Got a piercing done here by Casey. Very clean shop and professional staff. Definitely going to return for some tattoos!

Casy was so nice to my 5 year old little girl. Cant Express how great the experience of getting her ears pierced was.

I just got my first tattoo and rob made me feel very comfortable and designed a great tattoo for me! Highly recommend them!!

Fantastic place to get a tattoo, nice private rooms and great artists! This shop is going to be the greatest around. Cool place, cool people, great atmosphere.

The tattoo turned out amazing and all I have to say is you get what you pay for on the price. Excellent tattoos pretty good prices.
