If I could give them a 10 star, I definitely would! They are clean, courteous and professional, but also super friendly and most of all make you feel comfortable. Had a great experience with Saul!! very informative, quick and full of quality! Such a great tattoo artist! His art is incredible and I hope to return again real soon! Very pleasant and relaxed environment, absolutely thrilled with how it came out!
Ive been wanting a track foot tattoo for years and Saul made that happen in less than an hour. He offered and showed me various versions of the track foot (with color, without color, shading, no shading, different styles of feathers, etc. and I appreciate the time and dedication Saul provided to ensure I was happy with the tattoo I ultimately chose. He did not stop researching and sketching until I was satisfied and finally made a decision. He also made me feel so at ease as this was my very first tattoo. I was so happy when he told me he can make the lines thinner than the sketches we looked at and he can make it the size I wanted. Saul was so honest and I really appreciated his expertise and guidance. Also, not only was Sauls shop so clean and prestine, but his tattoo work was as well! 100/10 would recommend.
Saul is a top flight tattoo artist that gives you plenty of bang for your buck. This was a coverup job for an old piece I got when I was younger and regretted over time. He came up with his own design with a little inspiration from what I wanted and he made it come to life.His studio is professional and incredibly clean. The attention to detail isn’t just apparent in his work but also his studio and equipment as well.Highly recommend. I will be returning to him for more art!
I cannot recommend this place enough ! Saul is a real artist , not only a tattoo artist. I had an ambitious project and he was right there with me every step of the way, made it his own , and the result has completely exceeded my expectations. Vibrant colors, amazing details and rapid healing. I will never tattoo anywhere else
Great Place !!! I went in with 50 ideas, and he helped me narrow it down to - the right one.Will definitely be back. He brought the Lion to Life !!!
Started following this tattoo studio on instagram. I really liked the work that I saw on their account. I reached out to Saul the owner and he was able to give me an appt. I needed a tattoo finished on my ankle that another place decided they couldn’t finish it in one day. It was not even a big piece. I sent Saul pictures of my tattoo and he said to come in and he would be able to finish it for me. When I went to the shop it was very clean and welcoming. Saul was so was so nice and made me feel comfortable. He free hand drew the rest of my tattoo around my ankle. I was completely impressed all the tattoos I have were from stencils. He matched my started tattoo perfectly and even fixed what was done already and made it so much better. He makes you feel so comfortable and I didn’t even feel any pain. Saul is the only person that I will let tattoo me now. I already asked him about ideas for 2 more pieces and I can’t wait to get them done. They r an amazing studio.
Just had a tattoo touched up. Came out absolutely beautiful.If you’re in the market for a tattoo, I highly recommend Whats Up Your Sleeve. Their talented artists, welcoming environment, and dedication to excellence make it the perfect place to get inked. I’ll definitely be returning for my next piece!
Came in wanting to create something new and then eventually get to a 25+ year old tattoo that i wasnt sure how to fix ...not only did the artist take his time to help come up with what i wanted he helped fix the old tattoo that now they will both go together great....10stars....cant wait to go back
I went to Saul last month he fixed a tattoo that was poorly done by someone else. He is a true artist and completely gave my tattoo new life , I will never go to anyone else he’s the best !
Saul was very welcoming. He listened without judgment. Courteous and professional. His shop is clean and like home. I have already recommended him to friends and I will definitely be back.
I came to this shop because for many years I’ve had a tattoo that I couldn’t stand to look at. I’ve had the original artist try to fix it but he couldn’t.Saul the owner and artist at WhatsUpYourSleeve took one look at my tattoo and simply asked what I wanted, which I said “I hate her nose and she was supposed to be a realism tattoo with evil features”. Without a single photo reference he was able to freehand and make my tattoo exactly how I wanted it. And priced very reasonably.I recommend Saul and WhatsUpYourSleeve, based on his actual understanding of the fundamentals of art and because the shop is clean as can be.The before, after, and after the healing process photos are attached below.
I heard rave reviews about this shop so I took a shot. I had a tattoo with dark lines that needed covering. Not only did he cover it, but he covered it with something I absolutely love. He took the time to get to know my personality instead of just doing a generic coverup. I have 20+ tattoos and this one is by far my favorite. Can’t thank you enough!!
Very happy customer, I felt right at home and loved the experience overall, excellent artist and will definitely recommend to everyone :)
I gave Saul an idea of what I wanted, in no time he blew my mind, 10 stars clean, 10 star experience.
The best place to get a tattoo. Truly a 10/10 experience. Saul takes his time and puts so much effort into his work as well as making you feel 100% comfortable. Only person I will ever go to for any future tattoos
Finally got the tattoo I always wanted. Saul is nothing but professional, He gave opinions to where he thought my tattoo would fit better. Awesome experience all around. Clean, neat, and professional. He has also done 4 other tattoos of mine and I have never been disappointed.
Great shop l, great owner. We were just there for 2 small pieces of work and Saul was super friendly and really accommodating. He really worked with my gf and helped her figure out the best options for her piece and me as well. 1000% recommend this shop.
Saul does amazing work highly recommend will be coming back to get another tattoo
Saul is an amazing artist!! He’s taken my ideas and turned them into such beautiful pieces. They always come out better than I could have imagined. Saul is professional and friendly. His shop is immaculate and comfortable. I would highly recommend What’s up your Sleeve to anyone looking to get a tattoo.
I came to Saul with an idea for my first ever tattoo, he was extremely helpful through consultation with me. He also went above and beyond to make sure that I was comfortable during every session and I am pleased with the end product. I have family and friends that compliment how dope my tat is and I would recommend him to anyone that is just starting off a tattoo idea or wants to expand their design they already have. Truly talented artist!
Ive been coming here for years. Saul does amazing work, hes fine all of my pieces in the last 10 years. If you have an idea of what you want, hell create a piece that is exactly what you have in mind. His experience and professionalism keep you comfortable and satisfied. I cant wait to get my next tattoo!
Saul is nothing but class, he’s t$3 definition of professional. I’ve been getting tattooed by him for the last 11 years & each piece he does blows me away. He makes each session extremely personable and makes you comfortable for each session. I highly recommend anyone who wants a tattoo to go to Saul. I’ve sent friends & family to him for their first tattoos and each of them say the same thing, he made the experience extremely comfortable & takes a stressful situation and calms the customer down. I can’t imagine getting tattooed by anyone else. If you’re looking for a place to get a tattoo, look no further, Saul Cruz is your man.
Saul was very professional and super friendly.. we enjoyed our time and are very happy with our new tattoos.. he took his time and added his own twist to our ideas and they came out perfect!! Will definitely be back. Thank you again 🙏🏼
Saul has been fantastic with turning my ideas into practical realities. We’ve built a trusting relationship over the years and he has done some great work with me and more to come. He explains every part of the process, what areas will hurt more than others and the duration of the inkwork. Bring him an idea and just sit back and listen to him share the history behind your idea and why it matters. He does his homework and cares, which to me is the ultimate sign of professionalism! Highly recommend!
Saul is an amazing artist. He’s gentle and made my tattoo experience great. His input and artistry is second to none. He’s creative and puts his heart into every piece he creates He did two pieces for me and I’m ready to go back for another one.
Whats up your sleeve us a great Tattoo shop , super clean & Saul is a top notch Tattoo artist . He did a amazing cover up Tattoo on my leg it absolutely awesome Tattoo. I was recommended to him by another person who swears by Tattoo Saul & certainly not disappointed. Check out whats up your sleeve. Who wont be going anywhere else.
Very cozy place to relax when getting your tattoo he talks you through pricing and sizing great detail work definitely a perfectionist definitely going back for more really soon highly recommend 10/10
Saul has never disappointed with a tattoo! I’ve gone there not only for me but have gone with my friends, you feel nothing but trust and comfortability when getting your tat done, and his work is amazing every time.
Saul is absolutely incredible. I gave him a chaotic idea for my leg sleeve that was all over the place and it turned it into a true masterpiece. Between his work and the conversations I could sit there for hours on end and not even realize im getting tattooed. Would highly recommend him to anyone for any type of tattoo, hes your guy!
The artist does amazing work, beyond patient and professional. Its always a pleasure having Saul make a vision become a reality. Hes done several pieces for me over the last few years and each one has been more than I could have imagined.
Amazing experience great conversation with Saul makes sure your comfortable makes you feel at home overall great experience 100% recommend 👍

Great tattoo, and Saul is the most down to earth dude Ive met in a tattoo parlor, works with you and gets you to a phenomenal piece of art. Definitely coming back to get more ink. 10/10
Went to Saul for my first tattoo he walked me through it and made me very comfortable, great work I would definitely recommend him to others
Amazing !!! If I had to sum up my experiences with What’s Up Your Sleeve Tattoo!! His work is beyond beautiful! I’ve had 7 tattoos and 2 coverup, redos done by him and each one is more beautiful than the next. He’s attentive to fine line and detail and just has such expression in his work! I’ve trusted him with my daughters to have their pieces of art done by him! If your in the market for your first or one of many, give him a try!
Saul was accommodating & did a great job on mine and my husbands’ tattoo. Highly recommend!
Saul did an amazing job recreating my tattoo and has great customer service and listens to the needs of the client.
Saul was so accommodating and took his time. He was kind and honest. I would recommend this shop to anyone going for 1st time or getting additional work. This is my 4th time getting work done with him. His recommendations and adjustments always make the art work so much better. Cant wait to go back for the next tattoo fix.
Saul was an amazing artist who took the time to make my Coney Island Tattoo come to life, he’s a great man. Clean shop, great price and excellent experience, I will be back for more😎.
Awesome place. Always does a great job. Great personality, attention to detail and always on time. You won’t be disappointed.
I’ve gotten three tattoos by him and all have been a great experience. He’s patient, will work with you and add a special touch to his art that you didn’t even expect.
Saul is an incredible tattoo artist. You come to him with an idea for a piece, he adds his own perspective and the tattoo comes out amazing.
Enjoyed going here for my tattoo. Very personal and pays attention to detail.
Found his account on IG through a mutual friend and browsed through his works, wanted to get a tattoo for a while but I’m really picky as I know what I wanted needs a really good artist. I had to go all the way to Staten and he didn’t disappoint!!! Now I got 2 from him!!! And they always get compliments…. Already thinking of my third! 🤣
Sal is a true professional. He was not pushy and took his time with my ideas and bringing them to life. He doesnt rush to just get through the session and his vision in bringing certain pieces to life was remarkable. Will continue to go back.
Best studio around. I’ve been going to Saul for years and can always trust him to create pieces that are better than I ever imagined.
He’s the best tattoo artist ever, i got two beautiful tattoos that are very nicely detailed and delicate , I truly recommend him to all my friends
