My wife and I were in town with her mom for a cruise and decided to get matching tattoos to commemorate our vacation!After asking around, a local recommended us to come here to Empire ink. We were greeted at the door by Aleia who was very kind, friendly, and super helpful explaining the pricing and conditions.We worked with two different artists, Valentino and Fernando, who are both extraordinarily talented and creative. Valentino free handed my olive branch and it turned out way better than I could have imagined.Whether you are local or traveling, we all highly recommend this place. I’m sure we’ll be back at some point down the road! Thanks Empire Ink!

We walked in and were greeted by the amazing and super friendly Aleia! She answered all our questions and met every request we had. She even helped finalize a design for my mom’s tattoo! Fernando, who did my tattoo, was very kind, friendly, and supportive through my thought process. We chatted about different things to keep my mind off the pain. He kept asking if I was okay, if I liked the way things looked, and was encouraging about the decision. Valentino did my mom and my husband tattoo by free hand drawing and they fell in love with the design - as did I! Fernando used a stencil and it turned out fantastic. 10/10 would recommend this team as it is flexible for your needs!

Came in here on a whim and was greeted with kindness. The whole staff was wonderful. Fernando did my tattoo and he did an amazing job. He frequently asked if I was okay. It was also his birthday and I got cake. They provided a cute goodie bag with aftercare. Safe to say I will be back!

If in Miami and wanna get good quality work done be sure to come to this place. The receptionist Pat was inviting and very cool. Even gave us a shot of Cuban coffee which was greatly needed after the trip we just had. Our artist Sergio took time to get all the details of what we wanted and executed to the T! Don’t waste time elsewhere.

I recently had the pleasure of getting a piercing done by Rio, and I couldnt be happier with the experience! From the moment I walked in, Rios professionalism and expertise were evident. They took the time to explain the process in detail, ensuring I was comfortable and informed every step of the way. The actual piercing was quick, precise, and virtually painless. The care and attention to hygiene were top-notch, which made me feel even more at ease.Not only did Rio do an amazing job, but his warm and friendly demeanor made the whole experience enjoyable. Im absolutely thrilled with the result and highly recommend Rio to anyone considering a piercing!

Came in as a walk in and was able to get a piece done that very morning. Showed JB a couple inspiration pictures and he was able to help me create an amazing piece based off of it. Super friendly artist and you can’t forget about Patricia! She took care of us when we first got in and was an absolute pleasure! Great shop to come to if you’re in the miami area :)

Boogie was my tattoo artist and he did a phenomenal job on this! Super light-handed and he got it done so quick but so clean. The lines are incredibly straight, can’t believe how good it looks. Hands down my favorite tattoo that I have so far. The whole tattoo shop was a vibe. Every staff member there was so friendly and made this whole experience fun and memorable. Rating it as 5 stars is an understatement! This shop deserves at least 10 stars!!

From the moment you walk in, Patricia’s warm welcome makes you feel at ease. Cristian, the piercing artist, is excellent—guiding you through the process with patience and expertise. The piercing was quick and nearly painless. I highly recommend this place for its friendly atmosphere and professional service from Patricia and Cristian!

Best spot in Miami! Marco revived my 11 year old dull tattoo and added this quote and did a phenomenal job. They use the best ink in the world too which was important. Patricia is awesome she gave us coffee shots and they let us play our own audio in the background. 5 stars. Great energy 👌

Was on a cruise out of Miami. Had some time to kill before we flew home so decided….why not get inked! From start to finish my experience with the shop was nothing short of the best I’ve ever experienced. Told Boogie what I was thinking and he pulled some creativity out of my idea and made it pop! He is what the definition of an artist is. He completely exceeded my expectations. I’m planning another cruise soon and am more excited about planning another stop in the shop. Much thanks to Boogie and Patricia. I’m doing a disservice to the young man who did my wife’s tattoo. He was amazing as well. I want to give him all the praise as well. I wish I didn’t have to catch a flight because I would have wanted to just sit and chill with the guys all day! Thank you guys for making this the best part of my whole trip!!!!

My wife and I walked in to Empire (Washington Avenue location) on the last day of our week long vacation for a commemorative tattoo. The woman at the front broke down the process, encouraged us to make an appointment for the same day to hold our spot, and even offered to hold our bags behind the counter while we ran and grabbed a bite to eat. We received a tattoo from D and not only did it come out excellent, but he was very fast and efficient with his work and took every step to make sure we were going to love our tattoos. We will absolutely be back when we return to Miami. From the second we walked in, to the moment we left, we were nothing but pleased with the entire experience.

Man!!! Empire tattoo in downtown Miami has done it again ! I am from out of town and I made an appointment after coming last year and getting something small. I can confidently say…I got everything I hoped for and more. The staff were friendly and hospitable. I spoke with the owner before getting started up and he was a really cool guy ! If you get a chance and need some work done stop in and ask for Rosell specifically. I have MANY tattoos and this truly is one of my favorites. He was detailed, precise and pretty quick in my option. 5/5 stars. Empire will DEFINITELY be seeing me again !

Was very nervous about picking the right place to get my tattoo done. Being from Buffalo, NY on vacation in Miami I wanted to make sure my FIRST tattoo would be the best it could be. Von did an AMAZING job!!! Arrived at the shop just before closing time and he was more than accommodating with his great personality, background, and hospitality. The shop was very clean and cute. He drew up a great sketch of the Leo zodiac which I had put on my forearm. The tattoo came out as nothing less than the best and I’m so in love. Would definitely recommend Von & Empire Ink 10 times over!Updated January 27, 2020 — Travel / PalmWhile home in Buffalo, I got a spur of the moment tattoo with a friend, which I hated as soon as it was done. The palm tree looked way too skimpy for one— The entire tattoo was off, and I didn’t like it. On a return trip to Miami after the New Year, I stopped into the shop while I was downtown in Miami, to see if Von could help me out... Well not only did he make the tattoo look 100x better, but it made me so happy to see the fresh NEW one! Needless to say, I will always find myself in Miami at Empire Ink when getting tattoos!

DO NOT GO HERE! Visited Miami out of state on vacation, went to Empire Ink with confidence left with a botched tattoo. This is my tattoo ONE WEEK after getting it done. Work by Armando, highly dissatisfied and disappointed. Spoke with management and was told this issue would be resolved by their boss. Received an email the next day stating the tattoo isn’t fully healed & whenever I return to Miami I could come in to get it “touched up.” Imagine paying over $100 for something so simple and for it to go so wrong. Beyond frustrating when a “business” does not take accountability for their mistakes, especially in the involvement of permanently marking one’s body.

If you would like a fresh looking tattoo with highly detailed work, specially performed by an experienced master (32 yrs+), Mr. Von, and a friendly atmosphere welcoming blank canvases, tourist, and those who just need an old tattoo touched up, then you must check this place out. I just got this dragon done with a combination of old and new techniques. The butterfly was an old dead looking piece that is completely glowing now with unique colors design by Mr. Von. I was very fortunate to find this place and Mr. Von for this artwork. - and I will be back. - thanks guys.

Lily is AMAZING! She did such a fantastic job on my palm tree tattoo I am obsessed with it. The whole vibe of the shop was on point. Everyone was super friendly and lots of fun to hang out with for a couple hours. Shop very clean and I will definitely come back here. Thank you so much Lily!!

Very nice, accommodating service. High quality wolf tattoo on forearm. Blended a template concept with specifics from a photo of our dog. The shading is incredible. Von is highly recommended. He’s an artist. Thank you!

They absolute killed my tattoo and made the whole experience about me, from working on sizes and placement with me when I’m super picky, to even letting me get comfortable and play the music I want to play in the shop, I have a lot of tattoos and have never had a better experience then I did at Empire Ink, I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

Mr. Von Shock is an amazing artist and a wonderful human being. I just gave him an idea on what I wanted and he nailed it. The whole transaction was easy and starting the work on the piece was easy. Thanks Von for an amazing old school gator.

My visit to Empire Ink (2nd Street downtown) was nothing short of incredible! From the moment my friends and I stepped through the door, we was greeted with warmth and enthusiasm from Melissa, Boogie and Yosiel. Melissa was sooo cool and helpful throughout our visit. Boogie and Yosiel are extremely talented artist!! The atmosphere was electric, buzzing with creativity and passion. The artist listened attentively to our ideas and brought them to life with unparalleled skill and precision. The entire process was seamless, and we left feeling ecstatic with our new tattoos. If youre looking for a top-notch tattoo experience, look no further than Empire Ink. I will be back!

Walked in on a Friday night and had the absolute pleasure of working with Mekz to create a memory that will be with me for life. He was a great listener, and knew exactly how to bring my ideas into reality. The entire team worked to make my experience wonderful.

Went to Empire Ink on my lunch break to check them out. Wasn’t planning on doing anything that day but after meeting Von, and asking him a few questions, I decided to go with him. Von is a nice guy and very talented. The shop is clean and with latest equipment and sterile instruments. He did an awesome job on my tattoo. I love it! Will be back for my next tattoo. Thx Von!

I got my very simple tattoo about a month ago but I was not fortunate enough to have Mr.Von to do it instead another artist took care of this rather easy job.Even though he seemed like a nice person but his job was not done properly. He overworked the skin and didn’t go deep enough. The lines didn’t come out straight either.Not very happy with my experience to be honest and I would not really recommend to get a tattoo there unless it’s the other person everyone is talking about!

Recently got 2 tattoos from Von Shock and could not be happier. Went in just to talk about potentially getting one and within 15 minutes had a great idea and plan for the cardinal I’ve been wanting to get for a year. Amazing work, great guy to talk to. Has stories on stories from his past that help pass the time and really shows his passion for the art. Definitely going to be going back for the future work I have planned and recommend Von to anyone looking for some great work.

Von is the best tattoo artist Ive ever come across. Not only is he extremely meticulous with his work and well experienced but he also cares a lot. This is the third tattoo I have and by far in the hardest area. It has come out PERFECT. I wish he was the first tattoo artist I had met because honestly, while my other tattoos are beautiful, one had ink that leeked and the other is smoggy. The artists always try to blame the skin type but after speaking with Von, I realized that was BS and inexperience. Lesson learned! If you have the opportunity to have your tattoo done by this kind and talented soul dont hesitate! I got this done right before my flight out of Miami and Im ever so happy I did. Von added a special touch by asking my finace and I to write out in our own hand writings our tattoos for one another, making it extra special! Thank you so much!!
