Reviews of Electric Anvil Tattoo & Piercing (Tattoo Shop)

Jim Shaughnessy

Got a get what you get tattoo here. Super friendly, artists care about what they’re doing, one of the best tattoo experiences I’ve ever had. Would recommend anyone come here

During my vacation in NYC I decided to visit Electric Anvil because I saw a clip on Youtube abut the "get what you get" machine. Therefore, I wanna let the fate (or the machine) decide about my new tattoo. Cris Burton was my tattooer and he did a fantastic job. He's a relaxed and really friendly guy and as a tattoer he's simply great and really carefully. I was absolutely happy with the result. I only can recomend Chris Burton and Electric Anvil.

Awesome experience at the toys for tats. Love my Hot Stuff.

Michael Jones

I had Chris and he did a top job. Nice guy and friendly and easy to talk too. Would definitely be back.

Ive been tatting with Josh for a few years now, got 4 so far. His work is great, Always puts his own twist on things to make them better

Went here today and felt like they were a little overpriced. The staff was incredibly nice, friendly, and professional. The work they did was amazing but just not for the price I paid for it. Might not come back.

Boxcar did a hummingbird on my back and Burton did a turtle on my leg. Both healed up really quick and very nicely. The shops really clean. $100 shop minimum tho so if you're going here make it a tattoo worth $100

Anthony Ferraguto

Had a great walk in session. Got exactly what I wanted and it came out great!

Bridg Haifley

Great shop. Quality work that is worth every penny. I've gotten 4 tattoos freon this shop so far and am getting a cover up done there in April.

The shop is clean and the employees are professional and had great work shown in their profolios online however I guess it is hit or miss. Came in with an ugly flower on my wrist that I wanted covered or reworked. Showed the artist a picture but asked for him to be creative and put his own spin on it. He copied the picture exactly and gave poor advice on the coloring. From far away the tattoo looks like a burn mark and from up close it looks like an ugly flower which is what I had in the first place. As others have stated the high prices do not match the quality of work. I was disappointed and will not be getting anymore tattoos on my body. I should have waited to go to a better artist, now the tattoo cannot be fixed.

Jason did a great job on my very first tattoo and put me at ease with good conversation. Recommended!

I got 2 tattoos done by Jason within a 2 week time frame. The first tattoo took up my entire left forearm and I was charged $400 for it. It took about an hour and a half to complete. I am satisfied with the outcome of the tattoo so I shrugged off that charge. However, I returned 2 weeks later for another tattoo on my outer left bicep and I was charged another $400. This tattoo took only 53 minutes to complete. While it came out well, I feel that I was seriously over charged for it. The staff is very friendly and professional but they charge way too much. I am not satisfied with the quality of the tattoo for the price I was charged. I should not have been charged $400 for less work than was done on my first tattoo from this spot.

Came for my first tatoo, and my experience with Ashley was absolutely perfect. My tatoo was small, so I cant speak for larger design, but the whole thing was completely painless. Service is friendly and atmosphere is welcoming. I'll come back here if I get another tatoo!

Two pieces from this place and their get what you get tattoos are a great value for the fun

Rick Bross

Inexperienced artists and a very toxic vibe.

shannel stedford

Went here last week for my first tattoo for a simple tattoo ( 3 small birds an 5 small musical notes) (no coloring,not much detail) the artist charged me $140 !! in the moment I didn't care because it was my first tattoo an I was super excited. But after analyzing&showing other tattoo artists and friends my new tat they definetly confirmed the artist over charged me. the quality of work didn't match the price either.. I'll just call it a lesson learned. Won't be going back,and I dont recomend going. One of my friends said and I quote "he could of at least added 2 more notes or a couple more birds) they were teasing me but I knew they were right smh. When I looked at the tattoo the only thing I thought of was gentrification. **UPDATE I FOUND A NEW ARTIST THATS REALLY DOPE AND HE FIXED IT, ADDED MORE DETAIL, AN ALSO CONFIRMED I WAS OVERCHARGED

Greg Keras

Ol Ash does some amazing work.

Melinda A

Got my upper lobes pierced by Jose and had a great experience overall!

Tasha Schermer

Great shop! Cool artists (especially Chris Burton), clean space, fantastic art. Will definitely be back for another tattoo!

Amy Tyner

If you want adventure and are brave be like my Nephew and put a token in for what you get is your tattoo. He got a candle and they did a wonderful job! Very clean place and great staff friendly and clean.

Aiglehoux camille

Ashley was my tattoo artist and she's so nice and gentle, I loved getting tattooed by her. The rest of the staff seems nice too.

Lakeshia DeJesus

awesome job on my tattoos

Anthony Aiello

Great shop, great artists. Couldn't be happier with the work.

Steven Bono

I never thought a tattoo parlor could be gracious until I met Josh Arseneau. This is by far our new sole place for family ink. Thanks for the amazing experience and taking such good care of my wife who was getting her first tattoo!

Matthieu B

(Translated by Google) Very good experience, even for a first tattoo! (Original) Très bonne expérience, même pour une premier tatouage !

Talia Williams

Very clean and professional! Jamie answered all of my questions about piercing my nose respectfully and professionally. Their forms are electronic and I was able to have a copy emailed to me. Very nice place!

Zoe Long

Amazing artists, very professional and calm environment. Walked in first time with a very vague idea of what I wanted and they turned my description into a beautiful piece of artwork. If you're shopping around it's more expensive than other shops in the neighbourhood but you always get what you pay for in that case. Went back for a second tattoo and even brought my mom here for her first one. Bottom line, I love this place; Its clean and full of very talented, experienced artists, and you get a very personal, custom experience worth every penny. Check it out of your even considering getting a tattoo.

walter maguire

This shop totes some of the best artists in the city. Excellent for someone looking to explore a tattoo idea with an artist.

Jorge Perez

Great and friendly staff. We did the get what you get tattoos and it was a fun experience. You just have to be open minded.

Andrea S.B.

I walked in today to get my first tattoos, Chris (@burtontattoos) helped me with my ideas and was super understanding with all the changes I wanted to make to them. He takes his time to get every detail right designing them and tattooing them.

Jeremy Nguyen

First tattoo during a holiday in NYC. It was a walk in... I was rather intimidated and it turned out to be the perfect experience. Josh Arseneau put me at ease instantly and was patient when we discussed the details with a wealth a invaluable experience. The tattooing was flawless and swift. The music tunes playing were just right. The result is amazing. Trust them, they are true artists and can put their own twist on your original idea. Highly recommended.

EM Rollins

My daughter and I wanted a local spot. All our tattoos thus far we would go to the city to have done. Electric Anvil is right in our Crown Heights neighborhood, a 20min walk, awesome! We went on Saturday 9/21, had a bit of a wait but finally met with Steve. He hooked up our mother/daughter tatts and did an addt'l on my wrist. LOVE THEM! CLEAN, CLEAR beautiful lines! I will be back for the start of my sleeve!!

julian velazquez

Very clean and friendly place to get a tattoo

Edgardo Zelaya

Great experience for my first tattoo. I had a consultation on a Sunday and had my appointment Saturday at the end of the week. I came in knowing I wanted my tattoo done by Josh Egnew. I gave him my idea and came up with a great design. Very friendly and the process of getting a tattoo was great. The process couldn’t have been better. I will definitely be back for my next tattoo and maybe even have a spin at the Get What You Get Machine.

Melanie Lopez

I liked the environment and got a cool tat

Jun Wu

I came here with my girlfriend to get a palm sized tat and the tat came out pretty dope but at the end 250 is way way to much for what I got. The artists were super nice and cool but it was overcharged too damn much.

Jason B

Awesome work, reasonable prices, friendly staff. I've got 3 from Josh and will be getting many more.
