Garden of Ink

Shanna is the GOAT when it comes to fine line work. I got my first ever tattoo done by her back in November for my birthday and came back within 4 months for my second one. She was so nice about answering all my silly questions and did an amazing job bringing my visions to life. I’m obsessed with how both came out and I’m already itching to get my next one done. The vibe of the place and friendliness of everyone that works there is wonderful.

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE. I am so happy I chose to come here. Women owned and operated shop. I felt so comfortable and it is such a relaxing safe space. They do amazing work. Shanna did my first one here and she is incredible. I will keep coming back, never ever going anywhere else. You wont have to look any further this is where you want to go. Very cozy environment, excellent music playing love it.

Diana is the absolute best!! She did my first spontaneous tattoo and I fell in love on the spot. She has done my most recent tattoo and I’m beyond obsessed with how perfect it came out. She took the time with the stencils to make sure I would love it and I absolutely do!! The sweetest person with such amazing talent. The studio is stunning!! It’s clean and organized and very aesthetically pleasing. Would 100% recommend this shop and the talented Diana!!

Love this shop! The vibes are so calming & it’s very clean. Shana was super professional & kind during the entire tattoo process from planning to scheduling and tattooing. They do super clean line work & my tattoo is healing great! Can’t wait to come back for my next.

Amazing experience getting both a piercing (from Aspen) and a tattoo (from Diana). They made sure that I was well informed throughout the process and comfortable. The shop is very clean - I’m so happy with my tattoo and piercing!!

Just want to thank Garden of Ink and Aspen for my nose piercing. My experience with him was wonderful. The explanation of the process was the best part. He talked me through it and made it easy and simple. I’ve contemplated getting this piercing for years and I’m glad I did it here. Not only was Aspen great but the rest of the staff cheered me on as I got it. Truly grateful for them. Shout out to Rosie for introducing me and my wife to this beautiful spot. PS: Rosie was tattooing my wife while I got my piercing. Thank you Garden of Ink, I will be back for more.

I’ve been getting tattooed by Diana since 2019. I’ve gotten a tattoo from her every year since. She’s done two large pieces which were cover ups and they came out amazing. I continued to support her as an artist because she’s very skilled at what she does and very knowledgeable. She takes her time with you, makes you feel comfortable and never rushes you into something you may regret later. I’ve never had any issues with her or the way she tattoos. Her work is awesome.

A 10/10 female owned tattoo shop! Great tattoo experience from Diana. She was wonderful throughout the whole tattoo experience from planning to actually tattooing, Diana is very skilled and talented. I didn’t know what to put in the space for my sleeve and Diana was creative enough to fit in this awesome 3D spider her fine line work is unparalleled! My tattoo is now healed and I already get so many compliments. I will be referring all my family and friends that want tattoos and also going back myself! Thank you so much Diana!!!

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of getting tattooed by Diana at her beautiful shop and had such a wonderful experience! Not only was she very sweet and personable, but she also had a great eye and was able to help guide me with designing the tattoo of my dreams! I gladly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a tattoo artist - as I already know I wont be trusting anyone other than her to tattoo my skin!

Great experience with the owner, Diana. She’s done both of my tattoos and will be doing my next. Diana is super professional and talented. Very creative and turned a picture I sent her into a dope design. The business is also super clean.

Diana is the GOAT! She’s incredibly talented and very flexible with scheduling. A true professional!

Garden of Ink - easily one of the best places to get tattooed! The place is clean, professional, and on point with customer service. It hurts to hear that someone would review like that towards such an amazing place and person. I’ve been getting tattooed by Diana for about 3-4 years now and the experience every time I’m there with Diana, is nothing but amazing. I recommend her and Garden of Ink to all my close friends or anyone that wants to get perfect art work done on them! Diana is the real deal! 100%!! Reach out and make your appointment, you’re not going to regret it!!

I fell in love with this tattoo shop and everyone who works here. Rosie is my artist and I cannot see my self going to anyone else. The ambiance of the shop and the vibe that Diana created is very much felt the second you walk in. I always prefer supporting women owned businesses and this shop holds a special place for me

Walked in yesterday to get a new piercing, immediately I was helped kindly and made an appointment with aspen. My appointment was on time, aspen was professional, sweet and made sure I felt comfortable. The shop was clean, the staff were all kind. Highly recommend this shop. Will definitely be back!

Diana is one of the best artists I’ve worked with, from making sure I wasn’t in pain and comfortable during my tattoo all the way to giving me some of my favorite work on my body. Her style and ability in shading and line work is awesome! Go check her out for anything you may need!

I got my first tattoo with Diana because of the good work I saw on her Instagram, and I absolutely love my piece! I get so many compliments on how well done and pretty it is, so I couldn’t be happier with her work. I would definitely recommend her to others and would book with her again for my next tat.

Diana is my go to tattoo artist. Been getting work done with her since I was 20! A full sleeve and a huge back piece later, I couldn’t be happier. She can mirror any picture you show her and is very precise with her work (perfectionist if you will). Her line work is very good and she is amazing with freehand as well. Not only is she a creative person in general but her tattoos really are artwork.I have all color pieces and she has picked and put together so many ideas for me. I fully trust her and I love to support her creativity. Super mindful about keeping everything clean and makes the hours go by faster with great conversation and music!

Amazing! Diana is truly talented! I got my first tattoo with her and now im hooked. She has made every session such a pleasurable experience. I get complements on my tattoos all the time and its well deserved because her artwork really is incredible.

Diana is amazing. I’ve been getting tattooed for over 15 years now with the same artist. I recently made the choice to give someone else an opportunity and she did not disappoint ! I had a family member pass away in 2022 and she crafted the perfect tattoo. I’ve always been a black and white person with my tattoos but she convinced me to get some color and i do not regret it. Something i’m really proud to wear on my skin as a memorial to my lost family member. After this she has been doing work on me and will continue to do so. I recommend her to anyone looking for a great and caring artist.

I’ve been going to Diana for my tattoos for over 5yrs and I have now recommended countless people to go to her to because of my experience every time and happy to say they all love her too. I have four tattoos one being a very large thigh piece. My first tattoo was done by someone else (ankle piece) and although that was a great experience too I noticed all of my tattoos from Diana healed quicker and had impeccable line work. They are all so unbelievably vibrant since the day I got them. I let her have freedom with the design and colors and I couldn’t be happier with my tattoos. Always happy to show them off and constantly carry her business card with me or show her Instagram whenever I get asked about my tats. I was thrilled when she opened her own shop in Rahway and see her becoming so popular. I’m a high school teacher and my students have heard of her! If your looking for a gentle hand, skilled work, beautiful lines and a truly great experience go to Garden of Ink!! You won’t regret it!

I will go to Diana for the rest of my life! Best artist around fun conversations, genuine person and she’s a true artist. Highly recommend her for ANY type of style you want done. You don’t even feel the needle on you when she’s moving. Also Wants the best for her clients.

Couldn’t be happier to see and hear when Diana opened up her own shop! So proud of her and what she has been able to do with her amazing artistic skills. Ive been going to Diana now for about 4 years and have my left arm and right leg covered in all her amazing work! I do have A LOT of line work done and all sizes and each time they come out AMAZING! 5 stars isn’t enough for me on the this review, 10/5 star would be more like it! I send all my friends and family to her .. thats the trust i have in her ability!Shes always willing to work around what you want and also throw in a little of her style in it (with your consent of course). Ive never been unhappy with anything shes done to my body.. I’m always getting compliments on my pieces, thats alone says volumes!If you haven’t had a chance to check out her new spot… GO CHECK IT OUT! She sells merchandise and has the best music playing while getting your tattoo done!Diana, you are my #1.. i will travel hours to be sure to get my tattoos done by you!

I went for my first tattoo and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Diana made sure that I got exactly what I wanted and was very patient with me. Very cute place, clean and organized. Looking forward to future appointments with her!

Diana Kunz is one of the best. I remember telling her during our last session that I think its been 4 years now (Ten Tattoos Later) that I’ve been going to her. I remember whenever she would move to another shop. I would follow. no ifs ands or butts. Diana is so easy going. Very Helpful when deciding what details to add or not with my tattoo ideas. Plus! she is also very sweet. I really enjoy the conversations we have while I am getting tatted. I can honestly say she has become a great friend. and thats the kind of artist you want!

Diana is hands down my favorite artist I’ve ever worked with! She’s sweet, has patience and has a creative mind to bring your ink to life! I’ve been going to her for so many years I highly recommend her each and every time! If you’re looking for an artist who will listen to your needs she is the one 😍😍

Best tattoo shop I’ve ever been to! Very clean and professional! Diana does amazing work! I always get compliments on my tattoos and refuse to go anywhere else but her!

Diana does great work. I’ve gotten over 8 tattoos from her in the last 3 years. No complaints great work and very professional. Looking forward to visiting her at her new place of business.

I got my first tattoo done by Diana and she was so nice and sweet. She would check up on me throughout the session and have small talk which helped me calm my nerves 😫🫶 I had to go back for my second tattoo. Both done beautifully.

Best tattoo shop and tattoo artist I have ever been to! Diana is a true artist and the sweetest and most professional tattoo artist I have ever been to!! 10/10 would recommend! Thank you Diana for your amazing work!

Diana is an amazing tattoo artist have done 4 sessions with her and have 2 more coming up. She is very skillful and accommodating. Her designs and lines are always perfect !!!

Love Diana ! Shes been my tattoo artist for the past three years and she never disappoints. Recommended her to my cousin and she comes faithfully from brooklyn to get her tatts. Highly recommend.

Great place, very accommodating. Design was exactly what I showed but even better once it was on my skin. Already considering a future visit. Shout out to Shanna for the service, and for being very helpful and informative when I had questions.

I had a great experience at Garden of Ink! The vibe is amazing and Diana took the time to make sure me and my husband were comfortable at all times during our tattoo appointments . We will both be going back for more tattoos

The owner Diana was so patient with my indecisiveness. Once I finally found my spot she crushed it. Couldn’t be happier with my piece

I’ve been following Diana for the past three years after a recommendation from a friend - she’s done now a majority of my right arm and more. She is always clean with her lines and her attention to details. The only artist I go to on a regular basis.

Absolutely adore this tattoo shop plus the beautiful people inside !!! They are talented and welcoming !!!! I wanted a last min tattoo in honor of my grandmother and diana was able to take my idea and deliver ! So thankful I found them !

Literally the best!!!! Aspen is literally golden. Helped with my rejecting piercing.

Very clean, aesthetically beautiful tattoo shop inside. Super clean line work & shading & great use of vibrant colors that dont fade after healing! The Owner/tattoo artist is also very sweet & knowledgeable. Love this place!

In the case you misinterpreted facial expressions and, “This is not what I asked for” as a positive outcome or experience here are some photos to help you identify poor judgment.The blue image is a photo of what my mother wanted, next to it is your sorry attempt at being an artist on her arm. Which you wrote and a quote you, “The area the tattoo is in will change shape when you adjust your arm.” Therefore, according to your artist experience the odd shape of this tattoo has nothing to do with your lack of skills but the way the arm is adjusted?Lastly, the last photo of my chest was your inability to state that you could not execute the technique of watercolor- instead, you proceeded to make some bizarre blue lines extending & running to and from parts of the middle of my chest ruining my surrounding tattoos with your unprofessional eye.I think you mistaken the “so call tip” for what you charged me to do this disaster above.

Diana is truly gifted at what she does. She’s professional, warm and sweet and you will always end up with even better results!! You won’t regret getting blessed by her hands

I had a great experience here. She was gentle with me (I have a chronic illness) and was patient. Great artist that I will continue to go back when my next piece is decided. Highly recommend.

Im honestly terrified of getting tattoos but Diana made it almost painless, and the tattoo came out absolutely beautiful! 100/10 recommend!

I got two small tattoos done by Shanna and I absolutely love them both and the vibe of the shop!

Love this place! Love the vibe! Diana has been my tattoo artist for the past 3 years and I keep coming back for more!

I love this place! I got a tattoo by Diana she was amazing did a tinkerbell tatt and I love it! Beautiful place! Very professional! I totally recommend this shop!

Wow just Wow….. from covering up 20 year old tattoos to new pieces. Amazing line work. I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Will def be back for more. Highly recommend!!
