Reviews of BLACKWORK TATTOO SHOP NJ (Tattoo Shop)

Nelly Oliveri

They seems like they do amazing work based on what I saw on Instagram but unfortunately needs to handle customer service better. I called and mentioned I was coming from New York. They told us to go around 3pm and so we did. But when I got there told me the artists were busy and to come on Monday. Taking my money someplace else. Plenty tattoo shops in the area

I recently got a tattoo done on my forearm by Ease. This was my first time there, being recommended by my brother who also got a tattoo done here by ease as well. It came out amazing and the prices are reasonable. Will continue to go to ease to get my sleeve done.

After looking for a very long time for the perfect shop to get my first tattoo, I decided to go here. Everything about it was great appearance wise, I went in to speak to a tattooist about what I wanted he was extremely friendly and I was excited. I didn't need the tatt for 2 months but he told me give him a month to draw it. a month passes and I get no response to my email for 2 weeks I had to email again. The response was wait another week I'll send the picture. it's been a week and still nothing. Plain disappointment, was really looking forward to getting ink done by them.

I got a bunch of stuff done by EASE when I was 18 that I now have to re-do and cover up by a better artist. He has a certain style that he's good at such as shading because he's a graffiti guy, but the details of the sharks and Greek god he inked on my arm are embarrassingly bad, honestly looks like a toddler drew one of the shark's fins and the god has the wrong amount of fingers. My gf begged me to have a cover-up tattoo done. The text on my collarbone is slightly crooked, but he did an alright job on a grateful dead style tattoo on my shoulder but it was very simple. If you want simple and CHEAP (like I said I was 18), he can get it done but if you want a good tattoo.. look elsewhere. (Sorry Ease, you're a good dude but after having more work done by real artists I saw how bad the stuff you did on me actually is. This was a long time ago though, hopefully you got better man but I was young and naive and got completely screwed)

Mas did my Friday the 13th voodoo doll tattoo. Great experience here. Everyone was very pleasant and the shop is very clean!

Andrew Garrett

I've gotten two of my tattoos there so far and definitely plan on getting more. Its very affordable and good quality and the artists clearly take pride in what they do.

Marlene Sabio

I had Ease do a Piece on my forearm. He has a light hand. Very clean place! Go see Ease!

Joseph Chocallo

Came here to do a tiger head tattoo by Ease and all I can say is UNBELIEVABLY REALISTIC AND BEAUTIFUL!!! Ease is beyond talented, makes you feel comfortable at all times and most importantly has the artistic eye and experience to bring your idea of a tattoo to a whole other level entirely!!! I would extremely recommend this place to anyone and everyone!!!!

Analesse Molina

Im sixteen I got my industrial bar here.The lady at the front desk was very welcoming kept a conversation going while I waited to get my industrial bar piercing done she was very helpful. I got my piercing done by eclipse yesterday loved him so nice and very funny he keeps your mind off what going on and once he starts he tells u ahead of time when he is going to pierce ur ear very nice guy totally recommend this place.

Kathryn Merring

I came here based on good reviews and my lovely husband decided to buy me a tattoo for my birthday! I came in and was greeted immediately and set up with someone right away, I checked in on a tablet and met with my artist, Nat. I showed her a picture of what I wanted to give her an idea of what we were working with and she was super friendly and worked with me through all my anxiety I was having. She quickly drew something up and we were ready to go! She worked quickly and efficiently and checked in on me frequently to make sure I was okay. I have never had such a good experience getting a tattoo. She went above and beyond with the design and put so much intricate detail into it, i was really amazed! I also got a huge piece that takes a big portion of my calf done at a very reasonable price and within an hour and a half in one session. I can’t say enough good things about this artist and this shop! This is definitely my new favorite shop!

William Clark

I went back to my man Rob to do another war memorial half sleeve and once again it came out beyond my expectations! That man has perfected his trade, the detail in it was so intricate and he nailed every aspect of the piece. We sat for almost 8 straight hours and he inked my arm like a man possessed, agian he explained everything he was about to do and made the whole experience awesome. He is the only artist I will ever go to for now on. I very much look forward to continuing my collection through his hand. I highly recommend him for any challenging pieces, he certainly will not disappoint.

My visit was very enjoyable,can't say enough about the artist. Friendly ,helpful ,and professional staff have to rate it 9.5 only because they didn't serve coffee and donuts

Carolina Victoria

Got my lotus tattoo on my ribs by the beautiful Nat back in late April! By far, the best tattoo experience I've had. It's all healed now and I am beyond happy with how it looks! an't wait to go back! :D so yes, I totally recommend this shop! Everyone is great !

Non Bigness

If you want a great tattoo, from some great artist at affordable prices this is the place to go. I have a sleeve and a half I have leg tattoos and a whole back piece done. I wouldn't go anywhere else I been going here since I was 20 and every time I'm here I have a gd time while getting my tattoo! These artist aren't like other artist at other shops where they dnt care about wht u wanna get they just there for the money.the artist at this shop will tell you it doesn't make sense or it won't look right ect. They will make sure ur tattoo is done right and it looks great!!!! the receptionist is amazing she will make sure ur appointment is booked and you are ready to go. They also do all types of piercings; she will walk you to the back and wait with u til it's ur turn , she's not like most receptionist where they make u feel like your just some money walking in and out she makes sure ur ok, she makes sure u feel ok and she will make sure when u leave ur comfortable and feeling great!

This shop gave my friend a cover up and it is horrendous. It was done by “Natalie” . Now she is paying to cover it up because it is a mess, she is scarred. This girl had no idea what she was doing and charged a decent price as if she had experience. I brought my friend here because I got one of my first tattoos done by Ses & was happy with it. But when I came back to get it touched up, the artists stayed in the back and told the counter girl to tell me they don’t do touch ups nor did they come up to address it. This shop was great in the early 2000s but it’s 20 years later and trying to have their daughter do the work is shot because she sucks and doesn’t know what she’s doing. They need to find some real artists and stop having apprentices do the work. Theyre better artists on the street in Paterson that don’t even work at a shop then the people who run this place .

Shannon Ibabekci

I had a tattoo done by Natalie a little over a year ago. She was great and did an excellent job even with me needed to take a quick break every few minutes. It healed quickly and no issues with it then or now, it still looks new. Helen worked with me to get the right font style and size I wanted. The shop was clean and comfortable and everyone was nice and accommodating. Definitely would and have recommended Blackwork to others.

judy rousset

I have been to 3 different artist in the shop. Rob, ease and my main artist Nat. They are all amazing! Nat has become such a great friend of mine; and everyone in the shop is so welcoming. I feel like I’m part of the Blackworks family. Great artist, great vibes, great prices! Highly recommend.

Santino Ordonez

Go to Rob, hes a good tattoo artist and his art work is sick

Josh Clark

Great tattoo shop! Rob is awesome and does amazing ink work!

Brian ONeill

Great place! Been many times

Laura Nicole

Eclipse is phenomenal!

Michelle S

Not great, but not horrible. If you want something simple, I suggest this place, but for more realistic and intricate work, I'd go somewhere else. Got an ok tattoo last month and am having it touched up elsewhere bc Blackwork lacks the skill and out of the box thinking that take a tattoo from good to amazing. Artists were also super unprofessional and pervy.

G Gratto

So far I've gotten four ear piercings (cartilege/two second lobe from Nat and another cartilege from Eclipse). The three I received from Nat were part of their $20 per piercing special that they have sometimes, which is an amazing deal. However, when I got my cartilege from Eclipse, I also asked for a tattoo consultation. I showed him the rough design I wanted (with a few modifications) and he told me he would email me back with his sketch. He's never emailed me back with his sketch or possible times for an appointment. I didn't want to cause a fuss about it, but I really wanted that tattoo.

Alexis Caravella

Love them

leslie leighton

i went in here to aquire about getting a new piercing and the women at the front desk was super rude, the place looked really dirty and they shoved me in a small room filled with like 7 other sweating people just to see the piercer to see if he could pierce the spot i wanted. place was completely unprofessional and not very welcoming.

kimberly vazquez

I recently went to get my first tattoo ever by Natalie she did amazing work. I’m a picky person and when Natalie was done I had no words it was done beautifully. I left the shop happy and will be going back to Natalie for future tattoos. Thank you!

Abigail Ramirez

Very friendly staff, very precise, organized, and very thorough.

Adam Morley

Eclipse was great! First tattoo and already scheduled my next with him. Update : got the second tattoo 3 weeks after the first (with my cousin) we are both now addicted but will only go to eclipse for our tats

Youssef Sari

Very unfriendly & unprofessional I took my 6 month old baby to get her ears pierced , I called the day before to make sure they were able to do it (was clear and specified that my baby was 6 month )and the receptionist stated they were able to do it . Once we were in the shop they told me they needed the birth certificate , I then returned with the birth certificate and they told me they couldn't do it because the baby needed to be 9 months a old . They completely wasted our time . The staff clearly have no clue what they are doing or informing people .

antonio sanchez

The only shop I go to for my art and piercings. Never had any issues with any work done by their staff, and they are all very helpful if you have any questions.

Shannon Baer

My girl Natalie didn't just give me a tattoo she gave me my favorite tattoo. I brought in "i am enough" in my own handwriting and explained what i wanted and she took my handwriting added to it slightly and made a beautiful piece for me. She is knowledgeable, artistic and just all around cool. My boyfriend also got a tattoo from her and we both plan on going to her from now on. Love her!

Ryan Palianto

Terrible customer service, no loyalty, they act like they don't know you even though you've gotten all your tatts there and some of which were big pieces. Not to mention the dude Ease is a dick.

Kassandra Rivera

Got two tattoos with Eclipse in one shot. Super nice guy and very professional, made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it every step of the way while also making me feel welcomed

Crystal Martini

Eclipse is the best! Did a cover-up . He did an amazing job. Better than I expected!!

Sabu Rodrigez

Excellent

Katherine Barrera

The lady at the front desk wasn't very welcoming but other than that I witnessed my piercer clean and sterilize EVERYTHING properly.. TWICE which made me very happy and he was very friendly. Loved it! Hoping to go back soon for another one.

Jess Ziegler

Walked in here yesterday for a tattoo I've been wanting for a while. Small one on my wrist. The front desk girl was very nice and helpful. Mas was friendly and made me feel comfortable. It was a simple tattoo but he was very diligent and made sure it was exactly what I wanted. Would come back if I ever decided to get another tattoo.

Danielle M

Mas is amazing

Colleen Van Dorn

Ses is an amazing artist as well as their other artists &and the staff is awesome and very down to earth. Ses did my very first tattoo 10 years ago and I've been loyal since. 3 years ago he did an amazing portrait of my daughter as a newborn on my back. The tattoo is flawless and people cannot believe how dead on it is to the actual picture. I recommend blackworks to everyone. Can't wait to get more ink!
