I have many tattoos and I highly recommend this location. Just got the perfect, most beautiful tattoo from Gary Kolarik. I sent him the idea, he presented something even better! Even added the dandelion wishes I love and birds to match my other tattoos. The place was professional, clean and very friendly. I will be back! Easy to get to from Philly. Thank you!

Marketa McCabe

I went here to get my nose pierced and I could not be any happier with the outcome. Super clean, great price, and really cool staff! Would 10/10 recommend!!!

Took my daughter who is 17 to get a piercing and the lady at the front test was very rude . I have a young child who was well behaved and told me to leave bc they have a policy no one under 15 . I asked her how was I going to sign paper work she said I don’t know figure out so I had stand at the door outside the building unable to ask question . Customer services is unreal! As I’m waiting a young couple walked in with two young children and was not asked to leave the building !! How is it ok for one and not the other !! I would not give them a star at all

I've had four tattoos here.Three by Jeff and one by Duane. Each turned out beautifully. Would highly recommend this location.

Alexa Russello

My boyfriend and I went to Gary for our tattoos, he got a half sleeve and I got a small tattoo but he did both of ours in 1 day. We were there for 8 hours and the entire time we felt comfortable and enjoyed hanging out. He had movies and shows for us to watch and always asked if he was okay or needed a break. Gary does amazing work and my boyfriend is more than happy with his tattoo. He is an extremely talented artist.

Professional and hygenic. Talented and courteous! We have been there more than once and will always go back (more tattoos planned) -went in late one night on a whim and Kam took care of my daughter and I, he totally could have said no and tried to schedule us for another time, but he didn't and we appreciate that. His sanitary practice between each client is pristine and reassuring that he has saftey in mind, and does not cut corners. Shows he has resepect for the art and for the customer and himself! Absolutely has skills in shading and honors the details that make tattoos unique. I also value the certification/permission process that is consistently adhered to as my daughter is under 18. We have referred multiple customers and will continue to do so, specifically to Kam! (Great establishment!)

I followed Matt Doherty to Empire Tattoo when he moved to the Blackwood/Clementon location. Matt has been my go-to tattoo guy for years now and all but two of my tats are his. He is a remarkable, free-hand artist. I go in with a simple idea (a koi fish) and the man creates works of art that get me compliments everywhere I go (an entire lower leg sleeve). The shop itself is always exceptionally clean. The staff are fun, friendly people who answer any and all of your questions with a smile and make you feel welcome and comfortable. Their pricing is like many other shops (around $100 an hour or so with a minimum of $60) and they require a $100 deposit at the time of your appointment. Matt Doherty and Empire Tattoo definitely have me as a repeat customer and Matt knows I'll always be back for more ink!

Angie D

Simply the bestest in South Jersey!!! Don't go anywhere else unless you're willing to Gamble! Tell them Angie sent you and schedule your next work of art. Super Clean, Honest, Hard Working Artists who really care about every piece they put their heart into it and won't let you down! You'll be so glad you did when your standing next to someone in Wawa who went somewhere else in South Jersey!! I promise you that!

Ethan Dion

Wayne is an amazing artist. Love the work, and great shop. Will be back again!

Alexandria Victoria

Empire tatto shop was clean,service was at its best. they also called to remind me of appt.they were accommidoting to me in every aspect from the begining to end.Cris Peters was my artist,wich is an understatment he took a botched tatto and made it to perfection all in free hand for 4 hrs.I am So pleased. i am going back in a week to do another tatto Ihave been wanting to get. This tatto is involved i trust with out a doubt Cris Petrs and empire says it in there name every artist is at the top of thier game.

Cara Cagno

I am updating my previous five star rating to one star. Chris Shockley was the artist ive used for all my pieces including a back piece and sleeve the last several years. He's an amazing artist and this shop had taken to slandering him and destroying his private property including his Instagram. Very unprofessional.

Edwin Stein

Awesome experience. Make you feel like family Will be back again

Everyone was so kind and professional and make sure I got exactly what I wanted I went to Doug but I hear they are all fantastic

I had gotten snake eyes done at another establishment (empire doesn't do snake eyes) and the jewelry used was too small, my tongue had started to swallow the balls, it was so painful, but the piercing artist at Empire had taken the time to evaluate and see if they had any jewelry that would help even though they don't do the piercing I had gotten there. Awesome, friendly and accommodating. Will recommend all my friends. I didn't catch the artists name but he had spiderbites.

tiffany giove

The guy at the front desk is rude!!’ He makes you feel as if you are bothering him if you call.

Jonathan Smith

Been awhile since Ive gotten a tattoo from there but for 4 years my go to guy is Ruben, he is amazing with black and grey and he knows how to take my simple designs and turn them into a works of art, im always getting compliments and asked who does my tats, i couldn't ask for a better artist to do my tattoos. Shop is such a friendly staff and care about their customers too just overall a great environment.

Heather Elwood

I've had piercings & tattoos done here. Empire is the only place I will trust to help me design and execute the tattoos I want. I've had a cover up done and was very satisfied. I've been a walk in plenty of times and have never had a problem getting new ink done that day. Every time someone compliments my tattoos and asks where I get them done I never hesitate to recommend Empire Tattoo in Clementon, NJ. I have a dermal piercing on my cheek bone that I need removed for a medical procedure. I had it done here and totally trust them to remove it successfully. I need two back surgeries to be done in the next twelve months & when the scar tissue has healed enough I plan on coming here to invest in a full back piece. Looking forward to working with your very talented artists once again .....

HORRIBLE Experience! Went to get a tattoo with my two friends and first was told it would be a 45 min wait. When I showed the front desk assistant they told me that my simple tattoo design had to be 10x bigger and never got to see an artist to ask them or see their opinion. So I said no to mine. We waited 2.5 hours to get told no to the second friends ratio of a simple band around his calf. And the front desk staff was the only one talking to us! NEVER talked to an artist for any of the tattoos!!! DO NOT GO HERE!

Paul Ferdinando

These guys are in it for the long run! Great business! Great talent!

Did a walk in for a small custom tattoo. The tattoo artist I had was named Mike. Super friendly guy, clean environment, would definitely get another tattoo here and from him.

Melanie Love

Everyone was so nice even when I called back about questions and talked to me about any worries. I want to go back!!!

matt bridge

My mom n sister got some great pieces.

Thomas Shaw

DO NOT GO HERE! Came in with my friend so we could get her first tattoo. Was told that an artist would be with me in 45min and waited almost two hours for them to tell me that they "don't want to do that design". Never actually saw or talked to an artist. The front desk staff was very unorganized and had no useful knowledge to offer. Again do not go here!

Fran Ingram

Very expensive. I had four letters without colors tattooed on my wrist. $80. He got one of letters wrong

Caren E

This shop is ridiculously overpriced! The tattoo artist was very rude and unprofessional. I would definitely not return to this tattoo shop nor would I recommend to anyone else! *** Read the reviews...they are pretty consistent! I wish I would have before I went!

Ronald Briggs

I visit today and will be setting an appointment very soon. NIco was great in helping...

I got my 4th tattoo done here almost 2 months ago, all of them done here by the same guy, reasonably priced. My last one was by a different guy that I'm used to. First, my new tattoo is bigger than my others but it was ridiculously expensive for taking only 45 minutes. I also had an appointment, sent in my tattoo, was drawn out when i got there, & we didn't start or even go into the room 30-40 minutes after my appointment time, I was just waiting in the front room. The artist I thought was very room, during the process I was very still & I tried to ask a few questions & he would refuse to answer me. At first I thought he couldn't hear me so I would ask again and he would respond with a rude comment such as "I'm not going to finish if you keep asking me questions". Last, I have about a half inch mark next to the tattoo that i noticed a week after because i thought it was the original ink they used to trace it. Either way, I was hurt because I've gone here a few times and didn't feel very welcome. And I'm annoyed about this random mark. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk

**EDIT : Jeff Bermingham works at 12oz Tattoo in Deptford Now** Got my first tattoo 7 years ago when the Pitman location was open, loved the staff, loved the environment, and when I found out Jeff Bermingham moved to the Clementon location I followed him there, ive gotten 3 more tattoos from him since and started my sleeve in the past few months. Jeff has since moved to 12oz tattoo in deptford and I will follow him there as well. He is easily the most underrated artist in the area and I will continue to get tattoos by him no matter which shop he ends up at.

Kevin Koonhow

Awesome group of talented tattoo artists, the shop / work area is very well kept and clean. Keep up the excellent work guys.

Cassidy

Always welcomed in with a smile and a laugh. I've never been disappointed with their work or their hospitality. Prices have always been reasonable especially for the work that's been done. Very professional and clean. Id recommend this for anyone looking for tattoos or piercings.

Heather MacVicar

Today 10-1-18 I was inked for the first time & Chris made my design come to be & it looks great & already I am getting compliments on my tattoo. I am glad that my fiancé & I did our homework & chose Empire for my first tattoo. I might get the heart colored in later on & my navel pierced. Also get another tattoo on my left arm.

Kelly Fardone

Great experience. Piercer was professional, charismatic and laughed at my bad jokes. Healed very well and did an excellent job.

virginia jones

I was a walk in I wanted a cancer ribbon behind my ear,I picked out the ribbon I wanted and was told it would be 10 mins that he was cleaning the room and that he had to draw it up. A delivery of food came in I kept asking how much longer because I already paid and was told 10 mins. After 45mins of wait I wanted my card refunded. They said just a couple more minutes and I said no give me my refund. Here the guy was eating the food that was delivered. Why not just tell me that in the beginning. I won’t recommend this place on the fact they lied.

Marcus Tatum

Great environment, definitely the top artists in the area, got a great tattoo from Chris, I will be going back to empire and Chris for the rest of my tattoos, found a home in empire tattoo!

claire Boylan

DO NOT GO HERE!! about a month ago i got my conch and my tragus pierced here. not only was it a very unfriendly environment but after i had the piercing something didn't feel right. my tragus felt fine but my conch wasn't like any experience my friends who have had theirs pierced had. i couldn't even move because i was in so much pain i felt paralyzed, and i have a pretty good pain tolerance i have 12 other piercings rather than the 2 i got here. i cleaned it twice a day every day as you are supposed to and made sure to take perfect care of it. still, both my tragus and conch began to form weird bumps and get really swollen and were extremely uncomfortable. i didn't think much of it until i went to get my nose piercing adjusted at a much more reliable shop. i showed her my conch and tragus and explained the pain i had been in. the piercer at this shop was completely shocked because everything in my piercings were wrong. first of all, it was externally threaded jewelry which is NOT something you ever want to put in your body. it was also just plain surgical steel which isn't meant to be pierced with. you always want to make sure your piercings are both internally threaded and implant grade but i hadn't known to ask that when i originally got these done here. the other problem with the earrings was that they used a curved barbell for both my conch and my tragus. tragus piercings are supposed to be straight and have a flat back, not a ball back like i had. conch piercings should never have a barbell, they should also be straight. the conch was also pierced at a weird angle causing the back end to be against my head where it shouldn't be. the bad quality earrings and the incorrect type of earring had caused both of these piercings to get seriously infected even when they were being taken care of perfectly. i had already paid $96 to get them done in the first place but i had to pay another $90 to have them fixed and replaced with better jewelry from a much better shop. this place is a disappointment don't waste your time or your money.

Siobhán O'Connell

The tattoo artist who I had a consultation with, Drew, was very nice but also very knowledgable. Given I have no spatial reasoning skills at all, he walked me through how big my design would have to be to realistically get the effect I wanted. He also told me how the sun can affect tattoos in that if it is on your back, I wanted mine on my right shoulder blade, it will fade quickly because of the sunlight every summer. We discussed the realistic expectations for a budget plan, his rate per hour, everything was straightforward, transparent and honest.

Kaitlyn D'Aversa

Always go here for piercings. Quick, painless, to the point, informative, and the prices are good.

Kathy Kaplan

Excellent artists. Extremely friendly, hygienic, good prices, works with you on images and fonts... ive gotten all but one of my 20? Ish tats here, and most of my 25? Piercings here. Highly recommend!!!(clemonton location) and happy with all the artists who've worked on me.

karez kharfan

Went in there for a tongue piercing and automatically the guy that was piercing my tongue was very bland and slugish was not comforting at all and look like he did not want to be there at all!!! Now onto the procedure to get my tongue pierced , while in the middle of talking pushes the needle through my tongue! Was very rough while tightening the ball really didn't tell me how to take care of it and kind of just sent me on my way....now I knew there would be swelling but my tongue swelled so bad that the ball disappeared in the bottom into my tongue! I did go back to the gentleman to get it checked out and he told me the bar was not big enough soo it had to come out!! My problem is why did you not Measure or look at my tongue to make sure the bar was big enough and still have room in case of major swelling!!!! On top of that he pierced it wrong and pierced it on an angle!!!The only good thing about that situation is he gave me my money back!!!! But now I have to wait a month to go to a PROFESSIONAL and get it re-pierced!!!!

Got my necklace done by#BigRub and man I tell you it was perfect I didn’t know shadow will show like it did on me and I love it 5 stars for sure I’m definitely not going nowhere else for any ink from here on out

meagen kleiner

Rude and unprofessional.

Nova Jackson SR

MY Honest opinion for people looking for one, and not someone that's just kissing ass. but there not bad. I would say over-rated and expensive. Just my opinion. So, don't take it to heart. I've heard discussions and have had discussions with numerous people and always get the same remarks. Not trying to bash the place just trying to be helpful to people that are looking for an optimistic perspective point of view. Again that's MY opinion. Good luck

Lexi Coe

To start off, Empire Tattoo has the friendliest staff ever. I have gone to other shops with the intention of discussing a new tattoo or getting a piercing in the past, and felt like an outsider or that I was bothering the employees because I walked through the door. Apparently not having visible tattoos is frowned upon. Anyways.. every person who has been at the front desk at Empire has been laid back and really helpful to me. If you are early for your appointment, people will always chat and make you feel welcome. I had been following the work of Mike Sedges for months, knowing that I wanted another tattoo, but couldn't decide exactly what I wanted. He will work with you until you absolutely love the design. Mike is truly an artist and proud of all his work. Empire is filled with talented artists, each with their own unique style. I am beyond happy with my experience here and recommend this shop to people all the time.
