Reviews of Kiss of Ink Tattoo (Tattoo Shop)

Susan Richardson

Kenny was very personable. I felt comfortable talking with him. I was on a waiting list at another place but I am going to come here instead. They have lots of experience with covering scars. That made me feel really comfortable about getting mine covered there. Now I can't wait to come back and get it done.

I feel obligated to write a review after experiencing such outstanding and admirable customer service! I went to Kiss of Ink last month to get my nipples pierced and as long as I am in New Jersey, they will forever be my Go To shop for piercings. First and foremost, I called the shop to get prices and the closing time and they were very cool over the phone. The shop closed at 10PM and I got there at 9:30 PM. Everyone greeted me and made me feel welcomed; they were very charming and cool spirited. The energy in the shop is dope. I was in and out within 20min and everything was done professionally. This was my 2nd time getting my nipples pierced so I knew it would hurt like hell.. but the piercer made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions like it was my first time. I went back to the shop a few weeks ago because my tragus piercing that I got done somewhere else last month got infected. Kenny, one of the piercers at the shop kindly changed my earring and only charged me $10 after Spankys in Camden told me $50. This place is DOPE & I RECOMMEND THIS SHOP WHETHER IT IS YOUR FIRST TIME GETTING PIERCED OR 100TH TIME! ❤️

I recently moved to west Windsor from NC and was in search of a new neotraditional tattoo artist in the area, everyone I worked with recommended this shop and an artist named Ben. I cruised his Instagram and liked I saw DID NOT like who I met. I went into the shop today and was greeted by everyone super friendly Ben was in the middle setting up and paused to talk to me, before I could show or explain my idea he responded that his hourly rate is 120, no negotiation. Kinda rude right? He then proceeded to tell me my design was too simple, pretty much calling it a waste of his time. Total douche bag. Taking my money else wheres for sure and telling my girls to find a new shop for sure.

I absolutely love this shop. I come here for all of my tattoos and they are always friendly. I've never had a bad experience here and I doubt I ever will. Very professional and extremely clean. Fair prices and they have an awesome touch-up policy. The parking sucks, since you have to find a spot on the street, but that can't be helped.

Been following kiss of ink on Instagram for about 3 years now and was recommended to artist Bens’ instagram @benoztattoos where I found exactly what I was looking for and realized we follow the same artists. I’m in the navy and stationed in Virginia so I thought I wouldn’t get any answer back messaging on Instagram but I did and sure enough got a reply almost instantly. I told him exactly what I wanted in 3 words “evil crying female”. He exceeded all my expectations with the sketch he sent back and with his communications skills. Fast forward a few weeks to when I drive home and get to the shop early and finally meet him. I felt comfortable as soon as I sat in the chair and we talked for almost the whole 7 hours I was there. He’s a great guy with a story to tell and an amazing up and coming artist. I see him becoming huge and am glad I got the chance to get some of his work early on. Life long client if I have the opportunity to just from that one experience.

Very accommodating, pleasant.

Delores Sheaffer

The BEST TATTOO PALOR AROUND veryyyy clean too which is veryyy important too ME !!! Wont go anywheres else but here....too the BEST MY COUSIN PLACE !!! Just got my 5th TATTOO last Sun. From my Cousin Joey....I love it...my son loves it ...my whole family lovesss it. It came out PERFECT as always!!!

Cheyenne Marie

I definitely recommend this place for nipple piercings. The staff was amazing. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes and it cost me less than $60 for both (shops closer to my house wanted to charge $130 for both). Five star worthy.

Antoinette Frost

They do good work. Just slow.

Gina Michalski

Chris did two of my tattoos ! He was incredibly funny and he talked to me the whole time. I will definitely be going back to him in the future !

Maribel Velez - Iglesias

Ok

Marissa Floyd

Was better when the piercer Mauro was there

Robert MacDavid

Friendly, efficient and patient.

Jasmine McShea

Both my tattoos from this shop are raised and scarred, the line work is shoddy at best

Refuge of thoughts

I just got a tattoo of roses on my forearm Saturday and I absolutely love it. I've already gotten many compliments on it. It was exactly what I wanted. Ben did my tattoo and if you get a chance you should visit him. He is a true artist, patient and takes pride in his work. I wanted my self harm scars covered and he did a great job covering them, I had some pain on those areas but he made sure I was ok. The price was amazing as well for a color tattoo that covers almost the top of my forearm. I couldn't have asked for a better person to do my tattoo and I plan to go back for more.

misty dejesus

Got almost all my work done here very good ink and art

Gee Braun

The realist tat spot in Trenton. Clean, great service, professional staff...

Morgan Rein

Definitely a great place to get your ink done. My boyfriend and I went there last night and got my 9th tattoo and his 6th tattoo. Our artist was extremely excellent, patient, and nice. He took the time to understand what we both wanted. Also, very reasonable as well along with giving us a receipt for a touchup that costs 10 dollars which is good for 6 months. That’s super awesome. The only things I wasn’t so fond about were the music (sorry but I am not really into loud “mosh pit kill music”). They should switch it up, like play some classic rock, 80s, etc..., and the location. It’s a tad scary in that area especially at night. So if you are a girl/woman, try going during daylight hours but when I was outside having a cig, one of the guys who works there stood out there having a cig and I think he did it so I was safe because my boyfriend was finishing up his ink still. All in all, fun experience!!

Matthew Reece

DO NOT GO HERE. The artist Ben is a predator and exchanged drugs with my 15 year old daughter for a tattoo. My wife confronted him when she found our 15 year old daughter sending pictures of her exposed breast to him to (show him how the tattoo was healing) the tattoo that is almost on her waist!!!! Disgusting establishment to allow this kind of behavior from one of their artist!!!!

Lauren Reiss

Kenny was so awesome. I was scared but he was quick and caused me no pain. (Well some pain) I did pierce my septum. But the over all experience was great. And I'll be going back today for my lip. And the prices?? They shouldnt be this good for the price they charge. Love - Love them!! ❤ ❤ ❤

Mo Moore

Kenny was awesome! Piercings are healing with no issues! I'll be back! Add photos?

Daniel Carroll

Very impressed. Jesus did a fantastic job on the ASL love sign for my daughter and I. Joe was in the house doing his usual awesomeness. Definitely going back

sandy matisa

Got my tattoo done by Joe and it was awesome, The shop is Clean and sterile but a little crude looking, But I think the building is just old. I would absolutely go back, This is the best tattoo I have ever seen.

Alexendria Moore

Very friendly and great motivators

Jessica Flores

I have had excellent tattoos from kiss of Ink in the past-however my last tattoo will be the last time I go here. The artist Cheyenne did a terrible job on a cat tattoo I wanted on my arm. At first I thought it kind of cute then the more I looked at it I thought- absolutely not , this is hideous. I contacted her via IG expressing how upset I am with it- we went back an forth and she basically said “ it’s your fault you didn’t know what you wanted, you should listen to the artist when given recommendations” first of all- recommendations taken or not- there’s no excuse for how horrible her work was. She actually told me to remove the poor review I left , and me being the person I am I did just because I didn’t want to create a bigger scene. But I am reposting it because I was so unhappy. FORTUNATELY I did get it fixed / covered at another shop and I am beyond happy with how it looks now. The manager at kiss of ink did offer for me to see Joe to get it fixed - but I no longer want anything to do with kiss of ink. They had ALL great artists before - idfk what happened now- you can’t have some bad ones at a shop- terrible for business

Crystal Donaldson

Luv the guy who did my belly very sweet customer service was great i will for sure go back

Joe walker

Great place. Great artists. Definitely will stop back in for another. When back in the area

BriAnna Scott

Got my first tattoo here by Joe Matisa and it came out perfect! I constantly get complimented on it at work. Everyone in the shop is very chill and they make you feel welcome and Joe makes good conversation while he's working. I'd definitely recommend the shop to anyone in the area, just make sure you're ready to pay a fair amount (3 hr, full color tattoo cost me $500) and wait to be fit into Joe's schedule (if you choose to go to him).

Reynel Rodriguez

Best tattoo artist in the area...Joe Matisa...friendly and polite employees and they play the best music while your getting tattooed lol....will recommend to everyone !

Erik Smith

I love this I got all my tattoo there very affordable I thank

Tikea Pauling

Ben was awesome!! Highly recommend!

herlii qescarment

Got my nose pierced there. Nice staff and very professional

Stephanie Davis

I like Nick as a person, but as a tattoo artist - he's still inexperienced. I've had many tattoos in areas that are considered to be the most painful. Yet receiving a tattoo from Nick on my upper arm turned out to be the most painful of them all. My large lower back piece, my entire rib tattoo, they didn't compare in pain to this arm piece. I now have so much scarring on my arm from how deep the needle went in - not to mention the lack of technique which left deep wounds - that I'm now sorry I went here to begin with. Also, he did not fill the tattoo with color. He shaded and then left open spots where my normal skin color is seen through the design. The grey wash was quite literally scribbled on with what seemed to be done with no direction or design. With such high ratings and reviews I though hey, has to be good. Well, live and learn. Oh and don't let me forget - THERE ARE NO SINKS IN THIS ESTABLISHMENT. And if there happened to be one way in the back - and no, not in the bathroom either - my tattoo artist certainly didn't use it. Update: I’m currently getting my tattoo removed. It’s that bad. No, not joking. After several months of looking at this embarrassment, I’ve finally started the process of removing it forever.

laura herrera

Love my tattoo!!! Staff was friendly and took their time to make customers happy

Rachelle R

I went in for a Septum piercing and Kenny was VERY professional & kind. I definitely recommend going to him. He cleaned/ sterilize everything and had everything ready and prepared for me. It was quick and easy and He explained the simple steps for the aftercare.

Tiffany Hando

Needed a new shop since the one I'm use to going to shut down without notice. A friend recommended Kiss Of Ink. Walked in and out within a hour fifteen min. Fast service. Thinking of what I want next. Will be returning for future pieces.

Fredy Tay Red

I have two tattoos from this place and they do it pretty good

Olivia Mackey

Artist Ben refused to draw me an original piece and instead kept trying to convince me to get the same 3 roses I’ve seen on his (and every other) instagram numerous times. I just wanted them to be a little more loose and lofty. He told me I could gladly go take my money “to the coons” in Hamilton. Real nice shop, you guys.

D D

Only tattoo shop I will go to

Allie Dunham

My brother is a recovering drug addict and manic bipolar. He relapsed last week and ended up in Trenton dope sick and off his meds. The man at this shop - Ben Osrowitz - knew my brother was high, watched him vomit his brains out and still tattooed a huge hateful iron eagle on his chest and bragged about it. He then proceed to charge my brother a little extra - his klanopin - which he takes to avoid hurting himself during manic episodes. I thought maybe this some crazy person tatting out of his house or something. It’s Kiss of Ink. A highly recommended and reward shop belonging to a televised tattoo artist. And scrolling through, I’m not surprised what by what I am reading at all. Save you’re time and money and go to a respectable shop. Not a hood hole in the wall for glorified junkie scratchers run by D list celebrities.

David Kroemer

Great work at great prices. Always friendly staff

Maria Gonzalez

Super clean and prices are fair. Friendly staff

Danny Loos

Been here for 3 piercings now. Kenny is so damn funny and so nice, he's the only piercer I've been to and his work is fantastic. Had my earlobes pierced here and now my nostril as well. Cheap as hell too!

Richie M

Cool place to get a piercing or tattoo.... Kenny is really nice, friendly and professional.

Kara Huchel

I got a septum piercing here. They were really helpful, and they answer any questions I have thoroughly when I call :) Everything was wonderful, it was quick, and nothing was infected. My only issue is that the piercing is crooked, which bothered me at first, but it isn't noticeable from the outside--only I can tell because it's my nose! Overall pretty good for me, but the crooked piercing may bother some people, so maybe don't get a septum piercing here, but I know a few people who got other piercings and it looks awesome, no issues. Awesome customer service and only spent about ten minutes there :)

Tracey Cullen

LOVED this place. We did wait 3 hours, but worth every minute we waited. Me and my daughter got matching tattoos. Matt was awesome! Everyone there was super friendly.

Shirley S.

Had a Tat done by Nick and it was the Best exp ever! His work is OUTSTANDING!!!

Amanda Drake

Been going here for years. The piercers are amazing. The tattoo artists are friendly and do amazing work.

Ahmed Monem

The meaning of tattoo

Live Body

I want to get a piercing as I always did before they were kiss of Ink Tattoo. Walked in and nobody said a word to me. I had to make sure I wasn't invisible so I spoke to another customer. Still, I decided to have a seat, maybe their busy. Then white guy walks in, now the person behind the counter wants to get up and say how can I help you to the guy that walks in. Not sure if it was because I was female or black.. either way, won't be going back.

brandi thomas

Clean, speedy service

Nicole Moore

Everyone here was very nice and helpful, I will deffinently be going back.

Fiyya Baksh

Customer service was great, did not cost a lot for a nose piercing, and only took a couple minutes! He was patient and answered any questions we had.

KT Mitchell

Overall I will give this shop a 4. The piercer here is amazing. I’ve got 9/11 of my piercings done here. However I got a tattoo done here on my side. Me and the guy took about an hour and a half drawing out what I wanted which was very simple might I ask and I was satisfied with the drawing. However when it was done it was not quite what I wanted nor what I seen him sketch out. I’m not sure if he messed up and had to freehand directly in my skin. I don’t like the tattoo and I don’t like it showing. I went back a few weeks later and I didn’t see him. I stressed my problem to 2 other workers but they just shrugged it off I guess because it wasn’t “ their issue “. Besides that, the shop is good.

HoosierSons

Joe did my tattoo at the hartford convention center in Connecticut. It was a simple one. The Gears of War symbol. I've been a fan of the game sense the first one so I wanted to show my support for the game. The tattoo came out wonderfully and he was super quick and efficient. He actually did my buddies right after as well. It was an excelent experience and I highly recommend them to everyone!

James Chiorello

Currently looking for a new tattoo parlor. I was in the shop waiting for an hour and a half after a man who was not there to get a tattoo decided he wanted one. The artist decided to take this customer and told me I would have a slot for another day as long as I am there. When I got to the shop that day I walked in and the artist was starting a 2 and a half hour tattoo. Not professional at all and it is unfortunate because I was a loyal customer.

April Scott

Clean place with friendly staff. I came for a piercing and had no issues. They put on clean gloves and clean all equipment in front of you.

Ash's account

Amazing. The people are really cool.

Jade Roberts

All the artists are local to the area and use that to offer the best customer service and their skills are unmatched. I've been to Kiss Of Ink for all my piercings and most of my tats in the last few years and will always go back.

Mira Mira
