My nephew and I started our New York overnight with matching guitar and NYC skyline tattoos. Damian did his and Felipe did mine. Both guys were kind and meticulous. I was done first and asked the owner Ledja about an old and faded eagle tattoo which she ended up fixing for me and it also came out great. We had such a positive experience at this place. Friendly service, great work, reasonable prices!!

While in NYC on vacation, I decided a new piece would be needed. I was able to get in to see Sabrina - who is an absolute sweetheart - and give her a drawing for my piece that was drawn by my daughter. Sabrina is so talented and captured my daughters art perfectly. The studio is lovely! It has a beautiful seating area to wait and a bright clean area to work. I really cant properly express my experience, but it was a perfect end to this vacation and I really hope I have the opportunity to visit this beautiful studio again!

Ive been going to Ledja for 2 years now. Every time Im in Manhattan, she is great. But she also has other artists there who are just as good. They do take walk-ins, but I always call ahead to see if I need an appointment. 6 brought in rough ideas from designs i thought up, and they made it happen, and if youre unsure, they will give you recommendations on how to make it look legit. Theyre legit there from 12p-12a. They are doing $100+ dollar tattos for Friday the 13th, so get there early.

The entire process was amazing. Emailed to discuss options and time for an appointment. Reply was within 3hours. Went in the next day, met with Ledja (owner). She designed an epic tattoo with my ideas, and I got the tattoo done straight away. Fine line work is just brilliant, along with the rest of course.Recommended going here for sure! Well priced too.

Wonderful experience getting my 1st tattoo with them! Right in Times Square so super convenient in terms of public transport to the location. Sabrina was amazing to work with and did an incredibly detailed job. Would highly recommend people checking this place out. If you have questions before hand just dm them on instagram!

I soooo wish I had positive things to say about the tattoo I got here not only because it’s for flipping ever on my wrist but also because Lydia was so nice. Unfortunately, it looks like I did it myself. It looks like a pretty good jail tattoo. Honestly. I don’t know what goes into ensuring a beautiful finished product (quality of ink, skill of artist, is some skin difficult— I have no idea) but the lines are uneven, it is blurry. It is so ugly. I think the artist tried to cover up a blow out by shading which was never discussed? I waited a month to write this review just hoping hoping hoping it would miraculously heal different and settle in. But nope, it’s terrible and now I have to spend a lot of time and money and some more pain getting it removed. Avoid this place.

Came here for my first tattoo (my dogs foot print). Everyone was really nice. My tattoo artist Damian was amazing. I was a walk in. They were able to see me same day. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a tattoo to check this place out.

Cant say enough about what a great job Ledja did on a photo realistic pine tree on the back of my arm. I had an idea of what I wanted and shared a few images of inspiration Id saved, and she was able to draw her own design which turned out better than anything Id seen (all in the same day)! Had great conversation during the hour of work. Was a great time and would recommend for a fun collaborative experience. Some reviews mentioned higher price, but Ledja is VERY talented and the location is in Times Square so you get what you pay for! Its absolutely worth it for something that youll have forever.

I had really bad work from another artist all over my hand and arm. it was crooked, spotty, and didn’t even look like a tattoo but i came here to ledja and she redid and reshaded the whole tattoo so beautifully that no one could even tell it was a coverup. also her technique was really good because i felt significantly less pain from the tattoo even though it was on my hand and wrists. all the artists here were kind and the owners daughter even did my friends tattoo beautifully! i will definitely be back here!

Review №10

Wandered over to this shop during a conference with some friends thinking we wanted piercings. Although Ledja wouldn’t do a nose piercing (totally fine), I had her re-pierce my forward helix after a couple of my older pieces had fallen out (top and bottom ones were done by Ledja). As I was getting that done, my friends decided to get tattoos, so I jumped on board and chose a large flash piece. My friend got a beautiful piece by Ledja before me, then I got a similar one (the one in the photos). Ledja is a phenomenal artist and I highly recommend her! Her work fit perfectly into a sleeve I’m working on and I’m thrilled with the quality and price.I will say just ask to see samples of the work done by some of their younger artists. Ledja is AMAZING, but my husband got a simple piece from a young artist and we’re not thrilled (the lines were not clean and the letters were rough). My husband is highly tattooed and very tolerant, but this one will need cleaning up after it heals (we’re opting not to add a photo to this review).

Ledja was so kind and professional. She did 3 small flash tattoos for me and was very thoughtful about some of the color detailing. I appreciated how she made recommendations to the style so it would fit well with other tattoos I had in the area.

My friend and I had an excellent experience getting our first tattoos here!Zezi is an incredibly talented, friendly, and accommodating artist. She designed a unique stencil for me very fast, and made the tattooing process very comfortable. 3 months later, and my piece has healed nicely.Thank you, Zezi!

Review №14

Shouldve done this review a while back but am only finally settling down now and realizing how much this tattoo I got from them still gets me heavily irritated.A friend and I went for their flash sale a while back, waited about 8-9 hours for it only to be unhappy with the outcome. Tired and hungry, all I wanted was to get my tattoo and get out of there.The design and color I like, but the placement really annoys me because the old lady whom I got who did my tattoo complained how it looks WEIRD and does NOT LOOK GOOD with the way I wanted it to be and suggested how it should look. A good suggestion wouldve been her nicely putting it instead of sounding like she was forcing it. After waiting over 8 hours, I was too tired to argue and I just really wanted to go home and get it over with. Even when someone compliments how much they like it, I just dont feel happy about it.Giving a 1 star feels unfair to the other artists but the experience was terrible over all.

Walked in with my cousin on her Birthday trip! Tuba greeted us and made my cousins very 1st tattoo happen! Tuba took her time and made sure my cousin was happy with what she wanted as a drawing, then placed it where she wanted it! Close to her heart, and it came out PERFECT!We definitely recommend this tattoo parlor! Please do not let the negative Nellies stear you away. Check it out for yourself, like we did!

Decided to have a tattoo as part of my visit to New York. Found Art Ink and have to say I am so pleased that I found them. Such a friendly environment.Sabrina Did my tattoo last night and she was great. She put together a design of the Statue of Liberty and made it personal to how I wanted. She’s clearly a very good tattoo artist and if I visit NYC again I’ll be going back to have another one.Thank you

Review №18

I came here to get a spontaneous tattoo with my friends, and the experience wasn’t bad. I got a simple pine tree design on my ankle, it took no time at all, but some of the lines aren’t very straight. Specifically what was meant to be the trunk of the tree. It was $100. I was a walk in, so it was nice being able to just walk in and get it done, but the lines bother me a bit. The price wasn’t bad, but not ideal for how small the tattoo is. Would I go here again? Probably not, but for an in the moment decision it wasn’t a terrible experience.

Review №19

Disappointing experience for my first tattoo. I wish I could say more positive things in this review, but I almost can’t. My friend and I came for a tattoo, it was $100. I showed her the design I wanted and this was the photo I showed her. She went and printed out a drawing of the same tattoo and showed it to me for my confirmation, the drawing looked exactly like the photo I showed her and I said yes, let’s do it. She says she asked me “Do you want me to fill it in black?” I didn’t hear her clearly, but I thought she was referring to the Color black which is what I showed her after we both agreed and finalized the decision to have it tattooed on me. When she started to ink the tattoo on my hand, everything was fine as she was doing the outline as I asked. Then, she started to fill in the whole heart with black ink! When that’s not what I showed her. I stopped her almost half way through. The heart isn’t very even on both sides btw if you look at the photo of the tattoo she gave me (1st pic). Even if I said yes and thought she was referring to my original tattoo idea, I wish she wouldn’t have confused me by asking me if I wanted to fill in my tattoo when that was NOT AT ALL what we agreed to when we confirmed the specific tattoo that I wanted. That’s not even the picture that I showed her. If I showed her a clear heart, I don’t know what made her ask me if I wanted to fill in the heart. I’m upset because now I’m either gonna have to bare with a permanent tattoo that I don’t entirely like for the rest of my life, or I’m gonna have to have multiple expensive sessions in agony just to laser it off. I’m scarred and don’t even wanna get a tattoo after this experience.

This place is amazing! Was visiting NYC and was looking to get a tattoo. Ledja was so welcoming from the moment we entered and she had no issues with what I was wanting! Ive been waiting a long time to get my cousins signature tattooed on my arm as he passed away in 2018. She was so kind and I couldnt be happier with how it turned out. I dont think she fully understands how much this meant to me! Thank you so much and Ill be back next time I visit! Highly recommend this place!

Review №23

I showed up one hour before they closed to get my nipples pierced, and I still cannot believe how absolutely amazing Ledja was. I have had my nipples pierced before and it was so incredibly painful… so I have to say I was SO nervous…. But Ledja did such an amazing job, so quick, so precise, just all around so great. If anyone sees this, and is interested in getting anything done by her, do it!! I literally told my boyfriend that if I ever decide to get another piercing we’d have to take a trip out to New York to do it. 10/10 would recommend this shop. Thank you again Ledja!!!

This past weekend was my 1st time in NYC and to commemorate my experience and my love for Tim Burton (after seeing Sweeney Todd on Broadway) I wanted to get my 1st tattoo in NYC. I saw all of the great reviews for Art Ink Tattoo Studio and most of them were from people getting their 1st tattoo there. Needless to say, I had the most incredible experience there! Ledja, the owner, was very nice and helpful. Shaniya, who helped me with my tattoo design and did my 1st tattoo was amazing! The next afternoon my mom wanted a tattoo and Noah did and amazing job then I myself got my 2nd tattoo which turned out amazing! I HIGHLY recommend visiting Art Ink Tattoo Studios while you are in NYC!

I went to this shop looking to get a couple tattoos. I’d first like to say how clean the shop is and how welcoming and personable they are. It was also pleasantly cool during some extreme heat in New York. I was able to be tattooed by both Armando and Natalia. They are both such nice people and incredibly talented individuals. Both very communicative of the process and aftercare. It’s always great to find quality tattoo artists who clearly have such an amazing talent for tattooing and Armando and Natalia are definitely it. I highly recommend booking an appointment with them, because they will put wonderful art on your body!

I would definitely come back for another tattoo! Everyone that works here is extremely nice and it was a clean and comfortable environment. We went for their friday the 13th tattoo flash because of the great prices. The artists were there doing the flash for over 12 hours with tons of people and were still doing amazing work at the end of the day!

This by far was the best tattoo shop I have ever visited. I travel roughly 30 minutes from Jersey into NYC just to be seen by Ledja specifically. Her work is impressive, she is extremely trustworthy, and does a great job in short time. She knows what shes doing and thats why I will continue to receive her work from here on out. My friends worked with different artists as well and everyone was extremely happy with their results. Any artist there can do the job. Store is clean, sanitary, bathroom available. Walk ins accepted! Overall amazing experience and highly recommend.

Rocky is BY FAR the most talented artist I’ve come across. Having followed her art since long before she tried her hand at tattooing, I was curious how her artistry would translate from the wall to skin. I had a vague idea of the tattoo I wanted. Not only did she perfectly capture the essence of my vision, she put the pieces together in a way that were more refined than what I could’ve imagined myself. With her clientele growing fast, she’s going to keep getting even better!Art Ink is a great place for a tattoo. The staff is friendly and professional. Although it’s right off of Times Square, it’s tucked away just enough for the atmosphere in the shop to be relaxed. Overall, the customer experience was great. I’ll definitely be back!

Kalani is an amazing artist! She made sure I was comfortable and made the process as seamless as possible. Re-aligned the stenciling several times until perfect (for me) before tattooing over it. While the space is small, they were all very warm and welcoming, down to Earth. Highly recommend this place!

I went here to get my new tattoo for my birthday.I was amazed with how beautiful and clean the place was. Ledja is a true artist that is born once in a century! Really professional really friendly that made this long process so much easier for me. Im going back in a month from now to get my second tattoo from her. I would definitely recommend Art Ink Tattoo Studio for anybody concerned with getting quality tattoos.

Ledja was so fun to chat with while getting our tattoos done. My girlfriend and I showed up a few hours before midnight, without reservations for 3 small tattoos, and she was happy to help decide on our artwork and get them all done very quickly! Her studio was clean and comfortable and in a great location in Times Square. Would love to go back when we are in New York City again. Thanks Ledja!

Came by the other day for a tattoo and I’m extremely pleased, very friendly people and a really great price! It cost about the same as my previous work, yet this one is much more complicated. Beautiful work too, it is not yet healed but I really love it- from the outside the place may look a little bit sketchy, but once you go in it’s very very clean and professional. Would very highly recommend if you’re in the area. Lots of talent here!

Kalani was my Artist and she was so sweet and nice I told her what I wanted and she gave me exactly what I want it! This is my first tattoo ever and I’m so in love with it❤️. The next time I come to New York I will definitively stop by and get another one!!!

I was a little nervous going in because Art Ink is very different from the other studios Ive been tattooed at, but I was so pleasantly surprised. Michaela gave me this worm tattoo that I saw from her flash and it turned out great, she and Kalani both made it a super pleasant experience. I love this tattoo so much and I would be more than happy to go back for my next tattoo.

OMG can barely explain how amazing my experience was. Not only is the location a beautiful walk to for anyone not from NYC, but a beautiful tattoo studio as well!! The aesthetic is unique and light to make you feel right at home and with the friendly staff it was like a sigh of relief to be in their care. Incredibly clean and talented, my artist Michaela printed out several sizes of the stencil for the tattoos my girlfriend and I got (not matching don’t worry everyone) to make sure we were getting exactly what we wanted without that awkward “I don’t want to be a pain BUT can we change the size or placement” that we have all lowkey experienced before.Incredibly happy with my experience and will be returning for future tattoos!!

Art Ink Tattoo Studio is hands down the best tattoo place I have ever seen. LEDJA is such an awesome person and an amazing artist, with her attention to detail and her perfection she can literally turn your thoughts and imagination into an incredible piece of art.The shop itself is located right in the heart of Times Square which is newly designed and decorated up to the smallest detail. Everyone at the shop is very inviting and welcoming which gives you such a pleasure to be in.Definitely coming back here and suggesting this place to all my family and friends.

Highly recommend this tattoo shop. First let me just say I am so happy Ledja branched out and opened her studio in NYC. The atmosphere of her studio is chill and very clean. The artist are from what I have seen do great work, clean lines and creative.I met Ledja at another studio and she actually took at tattoo that I hated on my arm and transformed it into something beautiful. Her work is outstanding and a great price. She can take your ideas and bring them to life in a piece of artwork or correct someone else’s mistakes. Can’t wait for our next session.

Me and my friends went to New York for a recent trip and we knew we wanted tattoos. ArtInk was one of the most recommended spots when we were there. All I saw from reviews were great things in regards to good pricing, top notch artists, and good vibes. Definitely all those reviews met my expectations. I had a pleasure to also make good bonds with some of the artists and although we were there for 6+ hours into the night it was very fun especially since the crew was cool! Recommend all the artists and shoutout to Armando, Kale, and Ledja they were great! Great skill and very talented people.

This is hands down the best tattoo shop in the city!!! the atmosphere is SO welcoming, the shop is spotlessly clean and the artists are a DELIGHT. Ledja is one of the most talented artists I’ve ever seen, she has decades of experience and has run shops in Italy and Greece before coming here. The other artists Kalani and Rocky are wonderful as well, they are hilarious and charismatic not to mention talented.This is the type of shop where you know they’re going to take care of you every time. The prices are SUPER reasonable and they are centrally located in Times Square so there’s no excuse not to check it out!! You can see some of Ledja’s work on Instagram at @ledja71 I really can’t recommend her and her shop enough!!!

Review №48

Art Ink Tattoo is incredible. The space is clean and inviting, with Grecian-style busts decorating the shelves. I came here because tattoo artist and owner Ledja worked in another shop when I met her and when she left I followed! Her style, line work, and friendly nature make me very comfortable. She even offered me an espresso! That’s the first time I’ve ever seen that in a tattoo shop lol. I am so happy to see that she has opened her business here in NYC. Ledja is also very humble considering her skillset: she hails from Italy where she was classically trained in art, has an MFA, and even operates another tattoo shop in Greece. If you’re considering getting a tat, I could not recommend any shop or artist more.

Went to Art Ink Tattoo studio today to get a small piece to fill in a spot on my sleeve. Kalani did a great job on the piece, I love it! She has an amazingly light touch. It was done it a pretty sensitive spot and I barely felt anything. I wish every tattoo I get would feel like that. If you’re looking to get a piece done in the style Kalani specializes in and you’re nervous about getting a tattoo because of pain, you should absolutely consider going to Kalani.The studio itself is beautifully done and exceptionally sanitary...well done.I booked another piece here before I left. Wry excited about it!

Just moved to NYC and wanted a tattoo, so I ended up here and wowowow. Ledja drew up the piece I wanted perfectly, and Armando (@ghostiink) did the tattoo. They are aamaaaazing the line work is incredible, and i will for sure be back to get another tattoo. We were both super thrilled with the outcome, and they were cracking jokes making the whole situation so much more light hearted and fun. Also, talk about a light hand it barely hurt at all! Great prices as well, and a fun group of people - come here if you are in NYC!

Art Ink Tattoo is a first-class tattoo studio located in Time Square, Manhattan. Ledja has an innate artistic ability to turn your tattoo ideas into reality.

The artist Ledja is very unprofessional and unorganized. She did a big piece for me on my back which she messed up. I reached out to her and it took a long time for her to get back to me and I had to double text her to get a response at times. I had an appointment set with her to fix her mistake and she never confirmed nor reached out to me for that appointment. Not that it matters anymore because I got it fixed by another artist at RedInk Tattoo Studio.

Michaela gave me a stunning pomegranate from her flash - large piece above the knee. The fine lines and shading are beautiful, it almost looks like a pencil drawing you’d find in a historical book of field notes. I love it! Everyone in the shop was generous, caring, and hilarious. Felt right at home even though it was my first time in. Have to shoutout Foto - that sandwich was a work of art! So now not only do I have a new favorite tattoo studio, but I’ll definitely make my way to Telegraphe Cafe for that caprese. Thank you! I’ll be back soon!

A little upset. A friend and I went there this past week to get a little funny tattoo. Needless to say they put the tattoo upside down and slanted. So not only was it 280 in total for not even 20 mins of work. (120 for each plus tip) the tattoo is upside down forever. Not happy at all.

Michaela did an AMAZING job with my tattoo. For someone who is just beginning it is amazing the amount of talent and precision she has. I was blown away with her attention to detail and also overall bedside manner. She is so warm and kind and made me feel at home in the shop. The shop is also so well taken care of, very clean and has such a great crew of all female artists. The shop owner Ledja was a joy to meet. She was so friendly and she informed me about her incredibly decorated career. This is the THIRD tattoo shop added to her business, one being in Greece and another in Italy. I felt so comfortable knowing I was in the presents of such a knowledgable artist.If you are shopping around for a tattoo shop look no further !My artist was @goobydoodly on insta ! Go check her out

Review №157

My sister and I trusted the excellent reviews and entered this little place in Times Square...at first glance we had a great time...the owner Ledja was very kind and nice and immediately understood what we wantedGetting tattooed... he delegated it to two boys, his students, to whom he gave very detailed step-by-step instructions... here we immediately realized that something was wrong: the boy who tattooed me was very hesitant, he kept staring at me and trembling ...just a novice boy...he couldnt even open the nozzle of the disinfectant...the girl, who in the meantime was tattooing my sister, seemed more confident...while the lady (owner) continued to give directions and advice... the price, quite high for a very small design (€120), is absolutely not correct as the boy completely messed up my tattoo, going outside the stensil, creating small halos at the wrong angle and skipping various pieces... he was sweating cold! My sisters inOverall it came out well but it still has some flaws... after 1 hour I went back to the studio to have the tattoo relaxed by the owner... the result is two completely different tattoos... I find it unfair to have tests done on other peoples skin just because they are tourists... the reviews spoke of her, not of kids who are just starting out... the price is in fact too excessive to be done by two incompetents! Im sorry because the owner is very kind, friendly and talented... if you go ask explicitly for Ledja...

Very clean, welcoming salon and excellent staff 🫶We came to the salon with my dad to get a little souvenir of New York tattooed, Sabrina and her colleague really made our experience unforgettable 🫶 Thanks to them for their kindness and professionalism 💕It should also be added that the prices are very reasonable! For a salon located in the heart of Time Square, we expected to pay a higher bill 😅

The tattoo artist who welcomed me is a Sicilian woman with a monstrous talent for microrealism. He guided me, gave me advice, immediately understood what type of size and lines I was looking for for my tattoo and I couldnt have a better memory of NY.Go to this studio, you wont regret it.
