I gave Leah a pretty vague idea of what I wanted and she came up with a piece more beautiful than I could have hoped for. She was super patient with me, even after having her change the placement, size, and a few colors times. This was done a year ago and my tattoo is still vibrant and perfect! Still my favorite tattoo :)
Received a gift certificate from my daughter Kia for my 70 th birthday( my first tat) Nick’s calm demeanor erased any unease I had prior to getting the tattoo. I get a lot of compliments when I proudly show off my tat and recommend Nick to anybody. A great experience!
My tattoo is amazing!!! Covers up a scar, Leah is phenomenally talented, the fine line work is impeccable, incorporated adinkra symbols within the dragonfly. I m so in love with this ink!!!😍
Super awesome artwork, excellent experience. I always recommend Nick, hes done a most of my ink and always does a fantastic job.
Getting work done with Nick who is 1) doing an amazing job and 2) create to talk with as you sit there for hours getting your tattoo. Cant wait to go back to finish.
Just received a delightful couple of pieces by Leah and cant be happier!The Factory is a clean and friendly space, everyone who works there is a charmer and my entire process from concept to execution went super smoothly. Leah was receptive to feedback, clear on expectations, and generally a delight to interact with.Thrilled to have such a strong local Tattoo shop!
A big shout out to Kyle for his artistic talent, upbeat personality, and knowledge of working with dark skin tones. He calmed the fears of a senior women getting inked for the first time during our consultation and session. Nick & Leah are amazing tattoo artist as well.
I cant say enough about Nick, Leah, and Kyle over at the Factory Tattoo. I just had a piece done by Nick. Hes an exceptional artist who understands that the experience of getting a tattoo is often as meaningful as the tattoo itself. He is easy to work with and accommodating, super concerned about the quality of the work and the quality of the human experience in his shop, and immensely talented. With his input and additions, he took an idea that I brought to him and created a piece that blew my expectations out of the water.I cant rate these guys highly enough!
Such a great studio! All the artist are fantastic, I worked with Kyle who managed to take my idea and bring it to life in a fantastic way. I loved every minute of it and will absolutely go there again. It was a safe, comfortable, uplifting environment that I cant recommend enough.
Should have 10 Stars! Nick is an amazing artist and he strives to give each client a individual experience. By far the most professional tattoo shop in the Albany/Troy area. Highly recommend!
Ive seen Leah here twice and even though I now love over an hour away Im still coming back for my next one. Shes incredibly talented and the environment is just fantastic. Clean. Professional. 10/10 vibes.
I got a tattoo from Nick that I could not love more! He was great and easy to work with throughout the design and application process. He was able to take my ideas and examples of drawings I really liked and create a beautiful piece that perfectly captures what I was looking for.
Nick is truly one of the finest tattoo artists in the country. To be able to get a piece done by him is an honor. I would never get work done anywhere else by anyone else and would tell anyone I know interested in getting work done that The Factory is the place to go and Nick is the only guy to do it. The tattoo I had done is simply a masterpiece and I will cherish it forever.
Leah was awesome with my tattoos. She took the insentive to make suggestions and explain why they would be beneficial for healing and for the appearance of them in the long run. She was up front and honest with everything, and a pleasure to talk and work with through the entire process. Id recommend this place to anyone.
Last week (4/29/19) I went in for my first ever tattoo. The place is clean, inviting, and has overall super positive vibes -- funky music too 🤙🏼. I had previously requested a few tweaks to a design from an old flash sale. Kyle made the exact adjustments I had envisioned and tried to explain probably rather poorly over email. Like I mentioned, this was my first tattoo and Ive historically not been great with needles or pain. Kyle exuded patience and kindness as I worked through the initial shock and adjustment. I was super embarrassed, but he was supportive and really receptive to how I was feeling. Id 100% recommend him: really down to earth and kind guy with art that fit my taste well!
Nick is an amazing artist. Professional with a good sense of humor, appointments are always a fun experience. Shop is always clean, comfortable environment. Going to have to fly back for appointments after I move out of state.
After being recommended this shop by a couple people I know, I went and got a piece done by Nick here - my first tattoo! The whole experience was awesome and I couldnt be happier with the piece. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to get a tattoo whether its your first or fifth.
Nick is an amazing artist. His creativity and style shine through in every piece he does. The shop is so laid back and welcoming. Quirky, comfortable, and clean! Love visiting The Factory.
I have gotten two tattoos from Leah at this shop and the two artists are absolutely lovely people, they listen to what you want and really give you suggestions to make something fit your body better, which is helpful for those getting their first tattoos and after. I recommend them to everyone who is looking for a great place to get tattooed!
Nick and his team are true professionals and each experience has been great fun as well! I think Im up to 12 tattoos all by Nick and have my next appointment scheduled!!
My dude! my favorite! cannot say enough good things (or stay away too long). i found my forever dream tattoo artist in nick. he exceeds my expectations every time with the designs he comes up with & his attention to crucial details. his hyper cleanliness & fanatical maintenance of the shop & his gear is obvious, while still creating a chill, comfortable & bright environment, in a convenient downtown location. parking around the block is easy (just avoid the red fronts lot across the street). the best artist, the most fun time & super profesh ta boot. cheers to five years & many more, until i run out of room!
Nick and Leah are both cool as it gets. Great artists, great atmosphere. Thanks guys, I cant wait for my next session
Nick is a great person/artist I have been going to him for years and many more to come he cares about all his clients and does amazing work
Leah rocks! Great energy. Very talented. Beautiful soul. Fantastic experience. She nailed exactly what I wanted. Thank you.
This is one of the best places to get a tattoo, especially for first timers. I was so comfortable and Kyle did a great job. I would definitely recommend this place.
Ive been going here once every 1-2 months since June 2017 to work on my thigh piece and I always feel at home and leave impressed by the incredible artistry of Nick Reinert every time
Great experience. Shop was nice and in a convenient location. All of the artists were super friendly. 10/10 recommend.
