So yeah, I’ve been planning on getting a tattoo for many years only to procrastinate for not finding a good artist or the right design. Did a bit of google research and asked friends around to stumble upon Sacred Tattoo. The studio is huge with a great and knowledgeable staff - It is here that I met the brilliant Carolina Montoya. Caro is not only a fantastic tattoo artist but a super friendly person. She gives you an opportunity to express your ideas and comes up with her useful suggestions to make the design even better. Got inked a Buddha tattoo over 2 sessions of 4 hours each and it was a breeze. I was initially a bit skeptical about the pain and after effects of my 1st tattoo, but the ever smiling Caro made it a walk in the park. Have received a million compliments for my tat and I’m already planning my next one to be done by her. Would highly recommend Sacred Tattoo and Carolina Montoya!! #SacredTattoo#CaroMontoyaTattoo#FanForLife

Clean environment. Got my piercings done here, great experience, didn't hurt. Very friendly staff. Would recommend coming here.

This is a review of the gallery located in the shop which I only recently realized was there. I checked out a showing of works by Dennis Larkins. The gallery is a very small, though dedicated room to the right when you first enter the shop. The slate gray walls made all the art seem more dreary than it should have and the lighting was OK at best. When the art is high impact color and even 3D in nature, one would hope that attention to detail would be taken regarding the lighting situation. Those issues aside, the art that comes through the gallery was pretty impressive and I have no doubt that I'll be stopping back by in the future to check or more.

I was visiting N.Y. for the first time and decided to get a tattoo that i've been thinking of for the longest time. I did a quick google search and came to this location and was quickly impressed on how friendly, helpful and passionate the staff were about their work. The artist that did my tattoo is named Igor and he was able to take the scrambled ideas i had in my head and piece them together to make tattoo that i am in love with. He takes his art seriously and his work was nothing less than a master piece. I wish i had a artist like him in my home town. I would love to come back the next time i visit N.Y.

Piercings are amazing, however I made a mistake and got a cover up here now i have to pay to have the whole thing removed. It's sloppy, poorly done, not what I asked for. Might sue.

Sarah Manthey

Very welcoming. Very professional. I've gotten both my piercings here, just moved, nothing complicated, but it was clean and friendly.

Gina Ortiz

Been going here for 4 years, Rods is the man! The staff is also very professional nd nice. I won't go anywhere else to get ink done. Ever. I'm stopped in the middle of the street bc ppl are mesmerized by my work I tell them GO TO SACRED!

Javier Rama

Good spot to get good portaits done black / grey

Monique Belliveau

I got an 80's style pac man tattoo yesterday, and I was blown away by the shop, the quality of the work I recieved, and the staff. They offered free refreshments, were very friendly, and my artist (Roberto) was amazing. He really tied up the entire experience. It may seem a bit pricey, but you're really getting the bang for your buck. I am certainly waiting until I'm in New York again to get the other tattoos I have planned.

Christian Ossere

Tatoué par OK, premier tatouage ( phrase ) sur le torse et tout s'est bien passé, je suis satisfait de mon nouveau tatouage. OK est très professionnel et rassurant, son travail est basé sur la précision, je conseille à tout le monde! Un endroit parfait pour un premier tatouage à New York!

Sue Stallone

I feel wronged by a bunch of crooks! I put a 200$ deposit down and then my artist quit. The studio would only give my deposit back if I got it in person but living far away I told them I would not be able to right away. When I had the opertunity to get my deposit back they said they would not. It was not my fault the appointment was canceled. I feel they took advantage and stole my hard earned money. It's not right to feel victimized by any corporation especially one that stands for individuals expressing themselves.

Devon Horsford

This shop has a great atmosphere, from the receptionist to the person performing the piercing everyone was really nice. My girlfriend was a little apprehensive about getting her septum pierced but the woman performing the piercing was very comforting and supportive. Great place to get things done, we shall return!

Armando Muñoz a tatto artist from Mexico DF. just made this Tlaloc for my girlfriend.

Michelle is the best

Brenda Oelbaum

Really uniques exhibition space! A New York experience!

Peter Hanson

I wish I had read these reviews first. Such a big regret, I'm so upset and depressed. I got overcharged for a little $300 tattoo on my arm. I thought I was paying extra for the quality as they promised. But was I wrong, it looks so nasty and goofy that I have to pay another artist to fix it. When I mentioned it was not what I expected, they got insulted and rude. And my buddys girlfriend went through the samething here. I suggest you guys go somewhere else, anywhere else. Because you only have one canvas, don't let scared tattoo mess it up like they are known for.

Chanel Cupcake

I love this place the staff is friendly and the studio is clean! I cant wait to get another one soon

Spencer Scott

Friendly staff. Welcoming atmosphere. Timely service for a walk in ear piercing. Exactly what I was looking for.

Sal James

Dan Rotundo is a great tattooist. no ego

Black Atlas Studios

One of the best Studios in all of NYC.

(Translated by Google) Very welcome, tattoo very nice. (Original) Très bien acceuillie, tatoueuse très agréable.

I have never had a bad experience at Sacred. The team working their is professional and courteous, and friendly too. The shop is clean and the environment relaxing and fun; the interior is vast and open, which is nice compared to most cramped up shops you see. As with any professional shop with a high standard, they will tell you if your ideas for a tattoo or piercing are reasonable or not, and will work with you to make it look right, and sit right on your body.

Kadian Reid

Great music. Open space and my tattoo by ok was really good

Christina Pagan

I went in to buy a nose ring but the two girls at the front desk didnt want to let me see the rings and gave me pricing before I was able to even see the ring they wanted to suggest. On top of that, they told me not to touch the nose ring I was wearing because "that puts everyone in the shop at risk of infection even if the piercing is already healed." I honestly feel like I was profiled as soon as I stepped in the place. Never again.

Mitchell Lewis

Very friendly and created a masterpiece.

Paul Stork

Great artist, nice gallery, and Kevin is a super rad guy.

A Monshaw

Igor [@dead.tattooer] is an amazing artist. Could not be happier with the work or the service, super friendly engaging guy happy to take on artistically challenging projects. Clearly dedicated to his art. Shop itself is mad cool, playing lofi hip hop in the background I did my paperwork on an IPad in like 30 seconds and enjoyed a free coffee. They have a very open, lofty space that makes the tattoo process more comfortable, especially when you have to sit for a couple hours. They have a bunch of great piercers on staff too judging by the foot traffic and happy customers (I saw like 4 piercings in the 20 minutes I was waiting for Igor to tweak the design and set up). Will definitely come here again.

caleb clark

Very talented artists worth every penny. Incredibly friendly and personable front desk, will reschedule no problem if something comes off (given reasonable notice). Currently working on a sleeve with Igor, and I'm in love with every piece of it. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Sam Nelson

They screwed up on my friends tattoo and made him still pay for it. They said they can fix it, but they just made it worst. Do some research and go somewhere else. Only reason why they have so many 5 star yelp reviews is because they force all their employees and friends to write them as a requirement. If they had so many happy yelp reviewer experiences, how come they don’t show off their tattoos on yelp, because they’re all fake! They got closed down at hell's kitchen area for a reason. I wish someone warned me sooner. This place should be called Scary Tattoo not Sacred Tattoos, because you should be scared to get anything from here.

Dennis W.

Highly recommended, and definitely will return if/when the need arises. I called to inquire if they would be able to check on my daughter, whose recently pierced earring fell off. Spoke with Star, and she couldn't have been nicer. Even though they were booked, she offered to take a look... And she was a true professional in every sense of the word. She not only helped to put the earring back, she cleaned the area, and each time she touched her ear and walked away, she changed latex gloves.... She also checked/cleaned my other daughter's earrings, and declined any payment. The studio is very clean, and despite the exterior street appearance of the entryway, the studio is very organized and spotless.

I'm a dude got both ears pierced. Such kind staff catered to make sure it was quick and simple. Lovely lady pierced them in 2 minutes felt like a small pinch. 10/10 would recommend to go here!

Star was my piercer for my septum and was excellent. Totally pain free and perfect placement. Very professional. Highly recommended this shop.

Robbin Hicks

Best artists in town

Andy did my tattoo and I found it somewhat massed up after few days. I paid $250 for a pretty easy 2-dimension figure on my shoulder and there are two mistakes made on it. Some of the parts are painted twice since some misunderstanding on the figure, first red and then black, now I find that the color of the parts looks pretty nasty and there are some white dots, but for the rest parts that are simply painted once in black, it's normal and looks cool. Then two small parts are wrongly painted with red, which in fact should be black. The reception girl was knida nice and patient, but I would not recommend you to have ur tattoos made by the guy I talked about. Now I'm really considering of removing this nasty tattoo.

Sarah Julianne

Great spot and excellent staff. Nice atmosphere.

Yohanna Tavarez

I got an industrial piercing a few days ago and I'm so glad I came to this place. Starr (the lady that gave me the piercing) was super nice and gentle and answered all my dumb questions with no problem. She also gave me her contact info and assured me it was ok to contact her for anything. She even told me I could go back in case I had any problems w my piercing. Its a bit pricey but I really recommend coming here. It's a very clean and professional place so it's def worth it.

Howard Freeman

Got my one and only tattoo there. Great process, both in the consulting phase and the execution phase. Pain was not so bad as I had anticipated. No infection after. Maybe a little pricey.

Jasmine Cheri

Walked in and was greeted right away by 2 gentlemen and a puppy dog! Sooo dope! I wasn't sure if I wanted a tattoo or piercings, they were very patient until I decided what I wanted and I went for the piercings.. This wasn't my first time, but the overall experience was a great one. The place aesthetics was of a sterile tattoo and piercing parlor. Tobias was really cool and talked me through the entire process and we were done in under 15 minutes.. I am now proudly pierced by Tobias! Thank you Sacred Tattoo!!!

Katherine Cassidy

Never will I step foot in this place because the guy at the front desk with the line down his chin has no customer service or respect. Worst shop

Diana Blanco

Peter did my tattoo today and I am very happy with he was super nice and very detailed, I was very comfortable with him. He understood what I wanted...and now can't wait for more work to be done!!

D Haber

Incredible studio with top tier talent. Friendly, courteous, and professional

tamara williams

Star is amazing as always!! Very knowledgeable about piercings and kind. Clean and spacious place. Highly recommend!

Caressa Thompson

Star is awesome.

Sophie Taillor

High price for mediocre tattoo

Sarah Parker

I'm really glad that everyone else seems to have had a good experience with Nick. Unfortunately, I did not. I must have caught him on a bad day, but he was kind of rude. My tattoo came out so messed up that I'm gonna go pay another artist to try and fix it. I really, really regret using Sacred Tattoo. While the place seemed clean, and the receptionist very friendly and professional, I would have to rate my overall experience as negative and definitely would not recommend them to anyone.

Lorina Ladrillono

Great customer service. Friendly artist.

Skyla Rayne

Came here for the first time yesterday, and I was super impressed by the studio, the staff, and just how awesome everything was. They have two bathrooms which is super dope, they offer snacks and sodas to keep your sugar up! They also offer coffee which is all complementary. The artists are all super talented, and the studio is very clean. It’s also spacious, with no chance of you bumping into someone physically. I loved it.

Kyle Berenger

Very polite staff, unbelievably talented artists, and best of all, a coffee machine!

Jared Progebin

Once again a great experience with Gunny! My first tattoo came out great so I went back a month later to the day and got another one. Gunny is truly a terrific and talented artist! Be sure to check out his oil painting when you are in the studio. Great, clean, friendly place!

EM Rollins

I was first at Sacred 20yrs ago when they were on Canal St. An artist named Sunday started me on my path to body art. Now as I've turned 45, I wanted to finally add the visions I thought about for the last 20yrs. So this is the new beginning. . . . .thanks to Roberto

Claudia Stamens

(Translated by Google) The gentleman at the reception very nice, then a first lady very nice too, then a second who seemed to be very unpleasant French, who returned to the price announced at the start. (Original) Le Monsieur à l'accueil …

Monika Balaban

Came here when I noticed my naval piercing looking not quite the way it should, was suspecting that is was rejecting. Came in and asked if I can ask for an opinion, waited about 15 min because the piercer was busy. He saw my piercing and said it was rejecting and it needs to come out and he did it for me. So nice, gave me some information for the future and was on my way without worry. I would come here to get another piercing, their tattoos look really good as well. The whole space is really nice and big.

Rna .ElBorolosy

Had a bad tattoo and needed a cover up.. Everyone said I should get laser removal first but then I found Alisha and she is definitely an ARTIST! She made the best cover up .. She was very patient and gave me enough time to talk about what I want and how we can add that to the cover up! Very grateful for her

Mariela

I got my dimples pierced by Star a couple of months ago, and I absolutely loved the fact that she knew what she was doing, she told me all the pros and cons right away and also was a sweetheart! I totes recommend this shop and her as a piercer! Keep the good job guys (:

Gerard Frost

They only do custom tattoos so you won't get a tattoo here that you see on someone else. The tattoo artists are good and I have gone there a couple of times. I will be back again.

Verónica Martínez

Very bad experience, a tattoo very bad drawn, and when you ask for responsibilities, the tattoo artist lie about what I said. Mega expensive and now I have to fix it with another tattoo artist.

Michael Dellaselva

Extremely talented tattoo studio.

Keith Smith

Absolutely incredible! Super clean and professional. Couldn’t be happier! If you’re in NY and want some ink this is the place to go! Shout out to Tasha!

Liz Curtis

Nick did a tattoo of my dog Coco last year. It healed well. He captured her perfectly. I absolutely love it. He totally captured her spirit. Will go back for more .
