best body art for your money
I received my first tattoo by Daniel on Friday, and I couldn't be happier. I did a great deal of research before deciding on a place to go, and the general consensus seemed to be that NY Adorned costs a bit more, but for very good reason. I walked in to make an appointment, and the tattoo assistant was extraordinarily helpful in helping me choose an artist, and she was very thorough about getting a description for my custom design. When I went in for my appointment, Daniel was extremely friendly and helpful, and he drew up a design that was exactly as I'd envisioned it. He was amiable and made me feel really comfortable, seeing as it was my first tattoo. He took his time, and he described to me ahead of time what he was going to do. Not only did he do a PHENOMENAL job, he also thoroughly explained to me how to care for it, and left me the option to come in after it's all healed so he can check up on it. The tattoo itself took maybe an hour and a half, and cost $200, which I was more than willing to pay. The lines are clean, the details perfect, and the shading is gorgeous. I've been to plenty of places with friends, and their service wasn't nearly as helpful or friendly, and the work certainly not on par with this (you get what you pay for). I give this place, and Daniel, the highest recommendation. I could not be happier with my experience. Also, if you're looking for quality jewelry, they have some beautiful stuff there -- I'd go back just for that! Oh yeah, and tattoos and tattoo deposits are cash only (so bring plenty).
