BANG BANG TATTOO: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Nemo is truly one of the best tattoo artists in the world — his work speaks for itself. He created an incredibly moving tribute to my beloved Winston, and it is a gift I will carry with me for a lifetime. What makes Nemo exceptional is not only his talent, but the way he approaches his art — with ease, creativity, passion, and genuine humility. He has an extraordinary ability to turn something deeply personal into a beautiful piece of art. Anyone fortunate enough to book with him or have him create a piece for them is truly lucky. Thank you, Nemo, for such meaningful work — and keep doing what you do so brilliantly.
Fantastic experience: Came in with a rough idea and left with something way better than I imagined. Adrian really collaborated with me on the design and made sure every detail felt intentional. He was also super patient with me as I went over every detail. The whole shop was super clean, organized, and genuinely welcoming. Everyone was friendly and made the experience comfortable from the start. The process was smooth, professional, and honestly just a great vibe all around. The tattoo itself is incredibly clean and exactly what I was hoping for. It was dedicated to my wife so I wanted it to be perfect and Adrian went above and beyond. Already thinking about my next piece here.
Fantastic experience: Loved my experience at Bang Bang Studios! Everyone was so sweet and accommodating. My artist, Ghinko, was amazing. Super sweet and walked me through the entire process since this was my first finger tattoo. She explained everything from what to expect during the session to aftercare, and really made me feel like I was talking with a friend. And Reggie (the official studio Frenchie lol) I absolutely fell in LOVE with him. Can't recommend this studio enough! Already looking forward to my next session ❤️
Fantastic experience: Jay was great!! Also got it done his bday which was cool. The staff was super friendly
Fantastic experience: my experience was great. basil did a fantastic job and provided excellent service. she is incredibly talented!
Fantastic experience: This is my second time at bang & being getting tattooed by Rob and certainly not my last. There’s a common theme when you come to bang - consistency , communication and understanding. The talent and work that the artist do is amazing. For something that’s on you forever you can’t beat the experience and price. Thank you to Rob for the amazing work & the whole team.
Fantastic experience: First time visiting Bang Bang after following Rob’s work for some time. Would highly recommend. Very comfortable experience, all staff are extremely kind and approachable. Rob does great work and would highly recommend! His chrome tattoo work is 10/10.
Fantastic experience: Pawel was amazing, and Bang Bang was clean, professional, and made the whole experience fantastic from start to finish.
Fantastic experience: Jay was amazing to work with. He was incredibly thoughtful and kind throughout the process. My tattoo was in remembrance of my friend that passed away suddenly and Jay’s work beautifully honored him. The shop is clean, the staff is friendly, and the vibe is welcoming and immaculate.
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience at Bang Bang. My artist, Ghinko, is one of the best tattoo artists in the city if not the world! The studio is also super nice and the staff is super accommodating. Would highly recommend both the shop and Ghinko to anyone looking to get a tattoo.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Bang Bang Tattoo. My portrait tattoo came out exactly how I wanted it to. Everyone was super nice and helpful!
Fantastic experience: I got an amazing tattoo with Michelle! Studio was clean, everyone was friendly, and the artists at bang bang are amazing!!
Fantastic experience: Got 2 tattoos by Sara Kori, she is the absolute best and this studio is AMAZING
Fantastic experience: Bang Bang was amazing from end to end. Jay Shin was elite! We honestly could not have asked for a better artist. Not only is he insanely talented, he's also extremely professional and an overall super nice guy. I've already talked with him about some future work I'll likely want done with him. I think in general some advanced planning is necessary to book an appointment, but worth calling in to see if anyone is doing walk-ins. We got extremely lucky as Jay Shin had a cancellation that day and so could fit both me and my wife in for sessions.
Fantastic experience: My experience at bang bang was fantastic. I look forward to returning in the future! Extremely professional staff. Comfortable relaxing environment. Bang bang is the best!
Fantastic experience: Victor was great! Kind, accommodating, and very talented. He was receptive to my idea and he used his own creativity to create something truly special!
Fantastic experience: I went to Bang Bang for two tats done by Zee! He is incredibly talented and kind. I was even falling asleep at some point lol. The shop is beautiful, clean, and everyone is super nice. Highly recommend Zee & Bang Bang 1000%! You’ll be so glad you went here! Also: do yourself a favor & check out the bathroom ceiling because I’m personally obsessed
Fantastic experience: Hands down, Bang Bang is the best shop I’ve ever been to—and I’ve been to shops in Dallas, LA, Oklahoma, Florida, and now New York. The people are incredible (special shoutout to Eli and the front desk), and the artists are next level. Adrian is amazing; I can’t say enough about him and his work. The shop even reached back out to me the same day after I thought they were fully booked, and managed to fit me in around my flights home, having me come in early to sit with Adrian. After this experience, it’s going to be hard to go anywhere else for a tattoo. .
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience at Bang Bang Tattoo. My artist, Val, was fantastic — the communication before the session was clear and thoughtful, and on the tattoo day he was incredibly focused on every detail. The final piece exceeded my expectations and I’m extremely happy with the result. Highly recommend Val and the whole team here!
Fantastic experience: Second tattoo from Victor at Bang Bang and was just as thrilled as the first time. Amazing talent, super professional and collaborative, and nice, comfortable facility.
Fantastic experience: Excellent! The only place I'd go for tattoos. Period. The artistry and expertise is unmatched. Zee was lovely and easy and so talented. My only suggestion would be to give an after care card or email with the dos and don'ts. The three of us getting tattoos that day all received different verbal instructions, so it would be helpful to have something in writing so we get it right and don't forget. Thank you for another great experience!
Fantastic experience: Had an amazing experience with Tee and Mr. K. Both artists were incredibly skilled, patient, and detail-oriented. The tattoos came out even better than I imagined, and the whole process felt comfortable and professional. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for top-tier work.
Fantastic experience: What an amazing experience. I got five fine-line tattoos from Maria Fernandez, and she did such an amazing job. She was fast, kind, and had a great eye and steady hand. I'm completely in love with my new tattoos, I wouldn't change anything about them. Bang Bang is also a great studio. They offer after-care products, lots of snacks and beverages, and a gorgeous space. All the staff were so nice, and they followed up to see how I was doing. I also appreciate that they were doing a coat drive for charity. 10/10 experience, worth every penny, will be back for my next tattoo.
Fantastic experience: I had a tattoo done in September and another in November - both fine line animal productions done by Jay Shin. I am a person that researches to make the best decisions to get the best results. I wanted the tattoos to be outstanding pieces of art and worth my flying in. Based on all my research, I chose Bang Bang studio and Jay Shin. Outstanding is what I wanted and outstanding is what I got, and then some. I want to give a word of praise for the work that was done by Jay Shin, but I cannot come up with just one word. So, I invented one, Jay Shin and his work are tremenfantastremarknificent. I will be back for another one and probably a few more after that.
Fantastic experience: Bang Bang is not your average tattoo shop! I was recently there to get the start of my half sleeve with Maria Fernandez (an amazing fine like artist). There was clear communication from the studio prior to my appointment. They were super straightforward about pricing and taxes since I was coming from out of state. They also shared with me that they were doing a coat drive while I would be there which I think is seriously wonderful! The shop is gorgeous. Lots of marble and the black and white aesthetic was giving museum vibes…I felt like a walking masterpiece thanks to Maria! The downstairs area is a lounge where you can hang if you need a few minutes, has a fully stocked fridge, and snacks galore. The tattooing space is open and felt very comfortable to be in. Honestly, it was so nice to get to look around and see what other artists were creating while I was sitting for my session. A little bit of a distraction and also lots of respect and inspiration for their craft! I’m looking forward to heading back up in the new year to finish off my half sleeve and would recommend everyone checks the studio and artists out if you’re looking for an epic quality piece.
Fantastic experience: The front desk staff at BangBang was super helpful, friendly, and patient with me and my wife’s walk-in and to our surprise Anna was able to book me time with Jay. Jay was very kind and he listened to my tattoo request and gave me some good guidance on size and placement. The process was smooth and the outcome was better than expected. Thanks for the great experience!
Negative experience: I’ve been a tattoo artist coming up on 10 years and been getting tattooed for 20, and this place is still the worst tattoo experience I’ve ever had. I got tattooed here years ago after a close friend recommended one of their artists. Paid the tolls and made the trek to the city to meet with my artist and explain my concept, which at the time he seemed excited about. This tattoo was extremely meaningful to me as it was for my Mom, who at that time was still alive. The deposit amount was $500 which I had no issue paying as I knew this shop was well known and Nico had a phenomenal portfolio. I felt like I was in good hands. Upon arriving for my appointment a while later, my artist showed me a generic photo he had gotten off google. I want to mention he knew I was an artist myself so putting no effort into the design was a shock to me. Not that I ever expect special treatment but come on. The biggest issue was I had told him the tattoo needed to be a specific place that my mom took me to as a child and explained this in full detail. He took notes and even said how cool of an idea it was. I told him my dismay about the design and instead of being patient with me, he got visibly irritated and said he was going to go smoke a blunt in the back and redraw something for us? Like I get this is an NYC shop, but artists shouldn’t be smoking before they tattoo. As a shop owner myself now, my artists know they can do whatever they want when they aren’t at work but any sort of substance use isn’t allowed during shop hours to ensure the clients get the absolute best results and experience. This was not the case at Bang Bang. I should have left then but was younger and naive. I figured Nico would redraw a design that incorporated my idea. I want to say at least an hour later and me sitting there awkwardly debating what to do, he came back out and showed me a design that was acceptable but still not what I had asked for. Looking back, I shouldn’t have gotten this tattoo and that’s my fault, but I didn’t want to waste his time and mine. I overheard a few times the other workers talking about Rihanna and other celebrities that came to this shop and realized that I probably made the wrong choice. They definitely made me feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. We started the tattoo and it only took around 4/5 hours and I was told how after I left, I would be forgotten about , which in the middle of a tattoo is the last thing someone wants to hear. The whole thing was honestly horrible. He rushed through the tattoo and it looks nothing like his other work. He made it VERY apparent that he was not into this design at all. He didn’t even seem like he wanted to be there.And it gets worse. I go to pay and am told I have to pay the artist for the ENTIRE DAY despite the design being wrong, him smoking weed and taking his time and then doing a smaller piece. I paid almost 3 grand for a tattoo that is a little over palm sized. I was completely blown away. I shouldn’t have to pay for him to go smoke weed and hang out with the other employees. I myself do not charge clients for anything other than time tattooing and deposits cover the drawing time for designs. I have never been treated this poorly in a tattoo shop in my life and I’ve been tattooed all over the country by some of the best artists in the industry. I have commented on the IG of this shop expressing my concerns about my experience and they kept saying oh we will make it right. After many times of asking how, they never answer. No one has ever reached out to me from here, they just want to save face on social media. Unless you are a celebrity, you should probably look for a different shop. You might ask me why it took me so long to leave this review but my mother just passed away over the summer and I am finally going to have the tattoo redone by someone else.I also wanted to give Bang Bang a chance to actually make this right which they just ignored me so here I am.This isn’t what tattooing is about at all and every client should be treated as professionally as possible, no matter who they are.
Fantastic experience: 1st tattoo I was kind of torn on who should Do it. What I wanted wasn’t that big but very detailed. I looked up Michele Santanas stuff on instagram and she possessed everything I was looking for. She killed it! Thanks Michele you brought my vision to life and now it’ll last forever. I couldn’t recommend her enough.
Fantastic experience: Giselle, Robert and Adrian are the kind of people you stumble on maybe once or twice in a lifetime when you seek out just the right tattoo experience that fits your soul to a tee. They are each and all welcomers, artists and carers who provide not merely outstanding “customer service” but deep compassion through artistic precision and warmth. They provided me a paper kind of divider/partition when I wanted privacy during my tattoo appointment and helped me work through the details of my design with poise and dedicated love. I will be coming here forever. Thank you, dear people!
Fantastic experience: I had a really good experience with Bang Bang Tattoo for the Celtic symbol I had done on my left forearm by tattoo artist Jay Shin. The staff are really helpful and friendly and the shop is top rate. You get drinks and snacks! The artwork on my tattoo is beautiful and I am really pleased with how it turned out. Highly recommend. They are not inexpensive but I think really worth the $$.
Fantastic experience: I had the most wonderful experience with Liz. It was my first tattoo, and it was a large chest wall tattoo over mastectomy scars. She was incredibly thorough, thoughtful and collaborative. I felt so comfortable with her and the entire staff at Bang Bang. I trusted her completely and the results were better than I had imagined they could be. I am very grateful for Liz’ artistry and kindness.
Fantastic experience: Such a seamless experience from beginning to end. The shop staff is very friendly and they create a welcoming environment. SUPER CLEAN SHOP. I would also highly suggest Pawel. His care and authenticity is unlike any other.
Fantastic experience: As always at Bang Bang Studio I had the most amazing experience with the team! I’m absolutely obsessed with my new tattoo done by Saint (angel girl) and my mum couldn’t stop smiling at her first ever tattoo with Zee (flower). Zee was incredible with my mum and she is already thinking about her next tattoo
Fantastic experience: I got a tattoo from Pawel & I cant get over it!! Insane details, impeccable design, amazing & a very clean studio & the whole experience was really fun. Pawel & the bang bang team made me feel at home, the whole process was smooth, we just had a short conversation on what I wanted & he designed this tattoo wayyy better than what I had in mind. It looks divine! 10/10 recommend.
Fantastic experience: At every turn Zee at Bang Bang was thoughtful, creative, professional and invested in helping me create the authentic and original image I hoped for.
Fantastic experience: Came in for a fine-line depiction of Catwoman from Batman Returns (Michelle Pfeiffer). I asked the studio to choose the artist best suited for the concept, and they recommended Saint and I honestly don’t think they could have made a better call. Saint went above and beyond my expectations. The level of precision and detail was extraordinary, every detail perfectly captured, with shading that recreated the glossy, reflective texture of rubber latex flawlessly. Truly impeccable work. This studio delivers a boutique, premium experience from start to finish. From the moment I walked in to the moment I left, the entire team made me feel well cared for. Saint was meticulous about stencil sizing and placement — I think we repositioned it at least six times before landing on the perfect location. That level of patience and commitment says everything about her dedication to the craft. During the session, Saint checked in frequently to make sure I was comfortable and took well-timed breaks throughout. The experience was smooth, relaxed, and enjoyable throughout what ended up being a 7-8 hour session.
Fantastic experience: What an awesome place! Had such an amazing experience from being welcomed into the shop (which is beautiful), to being shown to a lovely waiting area, to the care and attention to detail and patience shown by my tattoo artist, Mr. K. I’m so so happy with my tattoos. They feel and look perfect. All this plus the check ins and follow ups from the shop made me feel like I was in good hands. Would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: The studio provides for an amazing experience. Very organized and clean. The artists are top notch. Michelle is amazing.
Fantastic experience: Bang Bang Tattoo Studio and Victor del Fueyo my artist were amazing to work with. This was my first tattoo and they made the process super easy and super personal. I am already thinking about my next tattoo as the experience was wonderful from consultation through the day of the actual tattoo. Everyone there makes you feel comfortable and welcome.
Fantastic experience: My experience at BANG BANG was fantastic! From start to finish, I had a stellar time collaborating with the broader team ahead of my appointment and with Jay Shin on the day-of. My tattoo is perfect! Jay was knowledgeable and diligent when helping me fine tune the design to my desire, and then executed it beyond my wildest expectations. I would recommend Jay and BANG BANG to anyone who is looking for a beautiful, meticulously crafted piece of art in a tattoo.
Fantastic experience: Zee is amazing! My sister and I got matching cross tattoos, and from start to finish he was incredibly patient, detailed, and professional. He took his time explaining everything, made sure we were comfortable, and the final result was even better than we imagined. We also got another piece done and loved that too. We’ll definitely be coming back — couldn’t recommend him more!
Fantastic experience: Saint was amazing! I absolutely love her work. She took the time to listen and really understand my vision as well as the embedded symbols in the design I was asking for. She brought it to life in the most inspiring way. I am so in love with my tattoo and am planning to return for more!
Fantastic experience: Bang bang studio was by far the most welcoming and professional tattoo studio I have ever been to. From the front desk agents to the artist, excellent all the way. Shot out to Adrian for the amazing work he did. Very talented artist, attention to detail. He created exactly what I envisioned. Thank you Bang Bang team.
Fantastic experience: This studio is the best I've ever been to! Super clean, well lit, plenty of space in the lounge and for the artist's station. They even offered snacks and drinks. Adrian did my tattoo with super clean lines, excellent color work, precision, details, and he was so nice!! Will definitely be coming back.
Fantastic experience: I had such an incredible time with Saint getting my new tattoos! She did vampire teeth and lips on one arm and a skull on the other! They are so cool and so perfect! I cannot wait to go back and get more with her. On top of the tattoos being amazing, Saint is such a sweetheart and we had so much fun!
Fantastic experience: Michelle was fabulous! She took the time to help me size the tattoo and position it perfectly. Her fine line work is just beautiful and made sure my tattoo was so special. Her French bulldog, Reggie, was a bonus!
Fantastic experience: Everyone at Bang bang tattoo was professional, kind, and helpful. I had a great experience and love the tattoo I received by Mr.K. For a micro size tattoo of my son’s name I wanted only the best.
Fantastic experience: Oh my god, this place is incredible. The energy, the staff, the artists are all wonderful. I loved everything. They are very kind and attentive. Excellent customer service. Personally, I got my tattoo with Michelle. She is amazing. I loved her work. I will definitely come back to get more tattoos from her.
Fantastic experience: I worked with Tee on a fine line wording tattoo and she was amazing!! She was super nice and accommodating and her work was incredible! Hands down the best tattoo ive gotten to date. The clarity and precision are amazing. Will definitely be going back for future work!
Fantastic experience: This place is top notch and you get what you paid for. The artists are top tier and you can see the respect amongst them for each other. My daughter got her 1st tattoo here and I couldn't be happier for her. They vibe off each other and make you feel like you are family. They make suggestions for your tattoo but they don't make you feel pressured. I love that it is a true collaboration effort between you and the artist. The place is beautiful and clean. They even offer snacks and drinks. Zee is amazing and detailed. His personality is very Zen and calming a true professional. Best experience so far.
Fantastic experience: Had an Incredible Experience! Everyone was so nice and the studio is Beautiful. I absolutely love my tattoos by Zee. I can’t wait to come back again !
Fantastic experience: Beautiful shop. Michelle was such a fun collaborator. I'm so happy with what we created together and for her incredible skill and execution.
Fantastic experience: Cannot believe how amazing my tattoo came out. Pawel is a true artist. My family literally said he would be painting cathedrals in Florence or Rome if he was born hundreds of years ago. Yes it is more expensive than some other places but it is worth every single penny. Will never go anywhere else for my tattoos!
Fantastic experience: Michelle is amazing. She’s professional, highly skilled and patient during font selection and body placement. The studio is clean, well designed, welcoming and relaxing.
Fantastic experience: Went in for a walk-in appointment with Zee that took 3 hours including placement. He was really helpful during placement and gentle during the tattoo process. I ended up leaving with a beautiful crane on my forearm. This is my second piece from Zee and I’m incredibly grateful to have such beautiful and thoughtful work. The staff at Bang Bang are accommodating and so enthusiastic about the craft. I called ahead to see who was taking walk-ins that day and when I found out it was Zee, I immediately made plans to go. They let me know what time he could take clients which was super helpful.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Bang Bang Tattoo. I went for my first tattoo, so naturally I was unsure of what to expect. I was met with friendly staff, a comfortable environment, and a beautifully done tattoo that was exactly the design I wanted. I would recommend Bang Bang Tattoo to anyone looking for their next appointment!
Fantastic experience: Maks is the man. Brilliant artist, chill dude, we had a blast doing this tattoo and I’m ecstatic with the result
Fantastic experience: I texted the studio with some reference images, inquiring if any artists were available for walk in. They responded quickly with artists who could match the style, also shared their portfolios and hourly rates. I showed up less than an hour later and it was smooth sailing. We got a tour of the studio, complimentary beverages/wifi, then met my artist Jay Shin and worked on the tattoo design/size/placement together. I have the artistic creativity of a rock and couldn’t articulate my feedback that well but he came up with something better than I could ever imagine and made it work elegantly with my other tattoo. I trusted him to make it happen, while he worked diligently and made the session comfortable/easy. It’s a sick tattoo and I feel lucky with how everything worked out so well like timing and artist availability. Very happy with the quality and detail. Definitely would come back again in the future, to Jay especially. I got lots of positive reactions from friends but also compliments from random strangers in nyc, which I’m not used to but hey it’s pretty cool. I appreciate how friendly and energetic people were at BangBang, helpful answering questions over text, and arranging appointment day of with the right artist. Expensive for sure, but if it’s within your budget, I think well worth the time and investment as I have no regrets at all!
Fantastic experience: Visited in September 25 and had an amazing experience with Ghinkos! the staff were all friendly, helpful, and attentive; the space was clean, welcoming and very comfortable as well. They also provided refreshments which helps a lot during longer sessions. Ghinkos’ work is superb and she made sure I was 100% happy with everything. Will be back!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing experience! Extremely clean, well organized, and professional tatoo parlor definitely lives up to the hype. Was extremely happy with the beautiful work done on me by tatoo artist Sarah. Will definitely be back worth every penny!
Fantastic experience: I got my first tattoo at Bang Bang Tattoo in NYC. This place is awesome with snacks and drinks, and the front desk receptionist is super. Zee did an amazing job and it’s exactly how I wanted it. He’s very patient and detail oriented. Will definitely come back again to get more sophisticated ones done with Zee!
Fantastic experience: Did cover up a small thing and I love the way Jay Shin inked the whale with all the details. Very kind, polite person as well, making me feel comfy in the studio. Lovely studio and friendly, easy-going staff as well. Good to know is that (at least for me as a European) are definitely at the higher end (I think, at least ), for me it was % worth it as it was professional, friendly, exceptionally fine line art so overall: amazing experience and I will come again when I am in NYC.
Fantastic experience: I got both hands done with Zee and couldn’t be happier. His impeccable skill and attention to detail went above and beyond. He was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. It was so nice to find someone who specialized in flowers the way he does with such intricacy. Everyone at the studio was super nice as well. I will definitely be going back for more 10/10 thank you Zee thank you Bang Bang
Fantastic experience: Bang Bang did an outstanding job making sure I was taken care of from start to finish. Scheduling was smooth, the staff were extremely kind and friendly, and everyone went out of their way to make the experience comfortable. The shop itself has great vibes, and I really appreciated the little touches like offering snacks and drinks for those longer sessions. Overall, I left feeling genuinely satisfied and impressed. Also Val’s attention to detail is insane. He’s meticulous, completely zones in on his work, but also stops to make sure you’re physically comfortable. I now have a showstopper tattoo and couldn’t be happier. Val’s skills have earned Bang Bang a customer for life.
Fantastic experience: Can't say enough about how great my experience was at Bang Bang studio! Everything leading up to, during, and after the tattoo was handled with utmost care and professionalism. Megan, in particular, was exceptional and reached out to ensure I felt prepared. She was so welcoming and accommodating! Mr. K is among one of the best tattoo artists alive and being a client of his only further proved that. I have been an admirer of Mr K.s work for years now and finally had the opportunity to schedule an appt with him. It was insane to watch him work in real-time -- nothing short of incredible. His style is so precise and distinct, and he makes a point to work with each individual client to come up with a truly custom design. He took both our ideas to inform his artistic vision for my tattoos and then he free-handed everything. It turned out AMAZING. I could not be happier with the results! I really appreciated the way Mr K. took my feedback and either adjusted on the fly with ease, or pushed back at times because he has such a keen eye for what is most visually appealing in terms of spatial arrangement, placement, and sizing etc. In doing so, I could tell he genuinely cared about the outcome. Not to mention how meticulous and thoughtful he was while drafting every last detail. Mr K., like the rest of the artists at Bang Bang I'm sure, is at the very top of his craft. You can rest assured you will receive quality service at this studio. I am sincerely grateful for the service and experience and I will be back! Thank you all again
Fantastic experience: Josh definitely is my first choice. Losing my first time for Josh. Since this was my very first tattoo, I came in with a mix of excitement and nervousness. Josh went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and supported throughout the process. He patiently explained each step, gave me a clear overview of what to expect, and even took the time to introduce me to the Bang Bang team and studio, which made the entire experience feel welcoming and professional. As for the tattoo itself, I could not be happier. The design and framing that Josh created are exceptional, he has an incredible eye for detail and artistry. The piece has only grown more meaningful to me over time, and I truly feel that choosing to have it done at Bang Bang, especially with Josh, was one of the best decisions I have made.
Fantastic experience: During my NYC Vacation from Germany, I had an appointment for a Small, Fine line Tattoo on my Finger as a Travel Souvenir. Sara was super Professional and friendly, the whole atmosphere and experience in the shop was 10/10, definitely lives up to it‘s name and Popularity!
Fantastic experience: Val was great to work with. From design to the actual tattoo. When it came to the design he wanted to know what mattered to me, what was important to feature and what he came up with was amazing. Great experience and will be going back.
Fantastic experience: I worked with María, whom I had been corresponding with for several months prior. We have a goal of creating a full sleeve piece and worked on completing my forearm while integrating two existing pieces into the work. I barely felt anything as she started and the work that was done, and dialogue María gave throughout the session was perfect. We had a real back and forth and I loved how she was adding elements via free hand and we were able to make changes to the piece on the fly that made the tattoo turn out as well as it did. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with her as we complete my sleeve.
Positive experience: Overall had a great experience at the studio. The wait time was a little bit long, but that is to be expected. I would have preferred some size options for my design as I feel that I would have been happier with a smaller size. But, overall I loved the design my artist created had everything I wanted in the design. Great experience.
Fantastic experience: This is my second tattoo at Bang Bang and I can’t speak more highly of the experience. You came for the exceptionally talented artists, but you’ll stay for the professional and welcoming staff. Bang Bang has you sorted for before, during, and after tattoo care.
Fantastic experience: I worked with Zee and could not be happier with his professionalism and ease to work with on my piece. The vibes are always friendly and professional at bang bang from the initial outreach for availability to deposits and questions about potential pieces and ideas. Every single person was warm and friendly which isn’t always the standard in tattoo shops so for me that’s a big asset.
Fantastic experience: I had a very beautiful experience. From the discussion over email to how I was welcomed and shown around the space, to the energy and vibe of the space itself, to the creative process with the artist, to the actual tattooing process and then of course the finished work itself. All around perfect.
Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience overall at Bang Bang and with the artist Zee. I’m in New York from San Diego for a week and they were able to accommodate me last minute with no issues/attitude that you get from some studios. They chose my artist for me based on my design. Zee was warm and put me at ease. We collaborated on the design when I arrived at the studio and he was super nice throughout. I was in and out in about an hour and am so happy with the result. The lines are amazing. I will definitely be back!
Fantastic experience: Being my first tattoo and wanting to honor my mother, who passed last year, I knew there was only one shop to trust. I have been following Bang Bang for years on Instagram, and I’ve always appreciated the creativity of each artist. They’re always on the cutting edge, and they deliver. I loved everything about my experience. It was easy to reach out to them, and they quickly responded.. You knew from the beginning they wanted to curate a meaningful experience for me, and were happy to answer any questions along the way. The shop itself is beautiful, bursting at the seams with personality. The buzz and the energy inside are worth the trip alone. It is so immaculate, relaxing, and inviting. It’s a perfect space to create and receive art. I was honored to work with Solar, an incredible and kind artist. I knew her style would be an ideal fit. Her intricate and delicate line detail is stunning to say the least. Her designs are beautiful. My tattoo means so much to me, and it’s everything I wanted. Solar made it more meaningful and helped guide me with placement. She was a pleasure to work with and I can’t wait to work with her on the next one! Everyone and everything at the shop is first class all the way. I’ve also been using the Forever Care Kit, and I highly recommend it.
Fantastic experience: Choi was incredible, she looked through photos and helped me pick the best one of my best friend and understood how special black cats are to their people. It’s not just a tattoo it’s truly a work of art and i’m grateful for the experience.
Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience, start to finish. Guilia Marotta is an incredible artist and I'm so grateful she agreed to do my tattoo. The studio is simplistically beautiful.
Fantastic experience: I am extremely happy with my experience in BangBang Tattoo! I had an idea of what I would like to get and managers recommended me Zee. Zee is an absolutely fantastic and amazing tattoo artist. I am beyond grateful for everything that Zee and Bang Bang team did for me ; from their recommendation to look at Zee’s portfolio to Zee’s incredible work. The salon itself was awesome as well.I liked their big but comfortable space with a place to rest and have snacks and beverages anytime. I am glad that I chose this particular tattoo salon to make my dream come to life. Thanks again, guys!
Fantastic experience: My mother and I got both tattoos with Solar. It was simply an unforgettable experience. She is other-worldly talented, and extremely kind! We got exactly what we wanted but somehow they came out better than expected.
Fantastic experience: This was my first tattoo, and after much research I knew Bang Bang Tattoo was where I needed to go. From my first conversation with them until we left, every person we encountered was friendly, helpful, and so positive. The vibe in the place is just incredible. If I do get another tattoo there’s no place else I’d go.
Fantastic experience: Overall wonderful day. I expected the artwork from Jay Shin to be incredible and he more than exceeded my expectations. What caught me by surprise, though, was the culture that is present at Bang Bang Grand. From the first time I called to spending the day there, my strong impression was that everyone working was glad to be there. The staff could not have been nicer or warmer and that really contributed to it being a lot more than just getting a tattoo, it was an overall great experience.
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience here for my first tattoo. The shop and staff were welcoming to a rookie and explained the process. Very clean! Would highly recommend for a veteran or first timer.
Fantastic experience: had a one-of-a-kind experience here; the entire staff was warm and welcoming; especially shoutout to Hector, who I worked with. He was incredibly positive, attentive, and professional. We talked through my ideas, and he really helped bring them to life.
Fantastic experience: Giulia is truly the absolute best there is! She is so beyond talented. I just got my second tattoo from her and I’m soo in love. Couldn’t be happier!
Fantastic experience: I got a tattoo with Saint and she was killed it. She made a couple great designs and helped guide me through what I wanted. She was really patient and kind. Highly recommend her and this studio. I hope to come back soon!
Fantastic experience: I went to Bang Bang NYC for my first tattoo and it did not disappoint! The whole process from start to finish was smooth and all the staff were amazing! The biggest thank you to Guilia (@guilia_eightlines) for creating this beautiful work of art for me! It is perfection!
Fantastic experience: The studio environment was clean and comfortable. Every artist that i worked with was extremely nice and accommodating. Specifically I worked with Pawel who was amazing in making my idea come to life and the tattoo turned out better than i could have ever imagined. Will likely only go to Bang Bang for future tattoos
Fantastic experience: I was considering getting my first tattoo, and reached out to Bang Bang after my cousin said that her tattoo from the same location was still beautiful after 10 years. The service, kindness, and hospitality, from my initial inquiry, from the moment I walked in the door, and every single person I interacted with, was absolutely wonderful. The space is stunning, and has a clean, welcoming vibe. Such an oasis in the city. There is a great client lounge with a fully stocked fridge and hidden snack drawers, free wifi, and you can chill on couches, or there is a long table if you need to work. The artist stations are all open, but there is a ton of space between them, so it still feels like you and your artist are connected. I was fortunate enough to work with Lazer Liz, who has almost 20 years of experience, and brings her own philosophy to the art form. She was incredible, and I couldn't be happier with the result. I had a 2.5" fine line tattoo done on my forearm, and the highest level of pain I felt was the equivalent of scratching myself with a broken nail...and this was my first tattoo ever. She said it had to do with the location of the tattoo, and because it was a fine line tattoo (ink doesn't go as deep)? My cousin's fine line tattoo, also from Bang Bang, still looks great after a decade, so I look forward to proudly wearing Liz's work and my story on my arm for many years to come.
Fantastic experience: I saw Michelle for a touch up (of someone else’s work) and a new design I wished to incorporate into the piece. My experience was EVERYTHING! I was very satisfied. She was thoughtful, skilled and a pleasure to work with. Michelle is incredibly professional and ensured I knew exactly how to care for my tattoo. I can’t wait to see Michelle again and collaborate on a design.
Fantastic experience: Incredible space, clean (!!), kind and generous treatment all around, amazing artists - BANG BANG is legit the best. Full access to snacks and bevs is a really nice touch, made me feel like a VIP even though I was an ordinary first-timer. Will definitely go back. 11/10
Fantastic experience: Incredible 5 Star Experience @ Bang Bang NYC! First, I have been a fan of Bang Bang Studio for many many years, following all the artists and just in awe of the artist and work that comes out of this studio. About 6 months ago I knew I was going to NYC for a couple days to see Othello on broadway, shop, sight see, etc (I love NYC), I reached out to Bang Bang to see if there was a chance I would be able to get in during my extremely tight schedule, the customer service and management were delighted to talk with me and discuss my idea, travel plans, etc and immediately made me feel at ease and I was booked. I'm a fan of many of the artists at BB, and would of been comfortable booking with any of them, but I was incredibly pleased to be matched with ZEE! I fly in from Detroit, and as soon as I entered the doors of BB all of my nervousness turned into calm and peace as I knew I was in the right hands, from the friendly front desk staff to the assistants and artists, everyone was so nice and just an absolute pleasure to interact with. The studio itself is a beautiful piece of art full of minimalism and thoughtful design layered in stone, glass and steel wrapped in monochromatic palette, the plants and fish are a nice touch and the sounds and smells are a vibe, you can just tell the amount of thought put into this property and understand why there is nothing else like it, it's special. Now, none of that would matter if the art itself is not next level, and the quality that is coming out of this studio is just that, such a carefully curated stable of technically precise artists of vast disciplines that you can feel that they feed off of each others talents, and again everyone is so nice and kind which is a breath of fresh air. Now to show ZEE some love, what an incredible human, so talented and detailed, I couldn't have wished for a better experience, the care, precision and hospitality that he showed me for the 8 hours we spent together on a rainy Saturday might of been a normal day at the office for him but was extraordinary for me. I thank everyone @ Bang Bang NYC and cannot wait to come back for another visit!
Fantastic experience: Had the most amazing experience with Victor at Bang Bang! From the moment I met him at my consult I knew I was in the best hands. My tattoo came out literally perfect - I cannot express how grateful I am for the care and attention to detail he gave. The staff is super friendly, they go above and beyond to ensure you’re comfortable and having a great time. Can’t wait for the next one!!
Fantastic experience: There is no one else I would have trusted for my first tattoo, everyone at Bang Bang was so unbelievably friendly and caring. Jay Shin did my tattoo and he was absolutely outstanding, I cannot recommend him enough. He made me feel very comfortable, since it was my first tattoo I was pretty nervous but he was so gentle my 5 hour session turned out to be legitimately painless. My tattoo turned out better than I could have ever imagined, the level of detail and perfection is insane. Jay and the other artists there are really truly talented, so if you’re considering going here just do it because there’s really no place like Bang Bang!
Fantastic experience: From the moment I sent in my initial inquiry, the team at Bang Bang made everything seamless. Megan at the front desk was outstanding — incredibly responsive, kind, and attentive every step of the way. She answered every question I had with patience and made the entire booking (and even a rebooking) process feel effortless and welcoming. As for Mr. K — I don’t even know where to begin. He’s an exceptional artist and an equally kind human being. After I shared my concept, he took about 45 minutes to design the tattoo and returned with several creative and thoughtful options, each one beautifully rendered. The final design we landed on far exceeded my expectations — it captured the spirit of what I wanted in a way I didn’t even know was possible. The tattoo session itself lasted around four hours, and the experience was genuinely enjoyable. Mr. K is easy to talk to, warm, and present — the kind of person you’re grateful to sit with for a few hours. His technique, precision, and artistic eye are simply world-class. Afterward, Megan walked me through the aftercare process with such clarity and care, sending me off feeling supported and genuinely excited. Needless to say, the final tattoo is stunning — delicate, expressive, and technically flawless. I would recommend Bang Bang without hesitation. And as for Mr. K? 100 out of 10. One of the most sophisticated, thoughtful, and talented tattoo artists in the world.
Fantastic experience: I came across Maria on social media and fell in love with her work. I was super excited to get an appointment with her while she was in NYC at Bang Bang. I told her things I was looking for and she came up with a unique design for me. The studio was beautiful, clean and everyone was friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Maria and the this studio. Cannot wait to come back in the future for more pieces!
Fantastic experience: My session with Pawel was absolutely amazing. His work is nothing short of stunning. I couldn't have asked for a better artist. My only suggestion has nothing to do with Pawel. The music was roaring at a very high volume throughout the day. I get the aesthetic, but the music was overpowering.
Fantastic experience: It was a great experience and the staff were very cool. I loved the space and amenities too. Maria is wonderful. She was accommodating and kind. My tattoo is just what I wanted and she was sensitive and sweet during the entire process. I felt welcome and understood. Thank you for allowing me to have such an excellent experience.
Fantastic experience: Our experience at Bang tattoo was top notch. I’ve been to many before in NYC but none like this. The front desk was friendly and helpful. The space was big and not crowded at all. Our artist Basil was very professional and communicative to what she was going to do next. She also took the time to show us a few extra sizes of the tattoo. She was easy to talk too very gentle. If you’re looking for a great tattoo experience whether it’s your first time or not definitely check them out!! Thanks Bang
Fantastic experience: Getting tattooed by Basil was an incredible experience. I don’t consider it just a tattoo, it’s truly a piece of art, beautiful in every sense: before, during, and after the process. The level of detail and definition in the tattoo is absolutely impressive. I wouldn’t consider getting tattooed by anyone else; only Basil. Alize, Robert, and the entire staff were exceptionally kind and welcoming from the moment I arrived. The entire experience was nothing short of amazing.
Fantastic experience: Unbelievable experience at Bang Bang Tattoo! I flew in from Detroit for my first Tattoo. I had a challenging design and wanted the best. Choi Yun did the most amazing work. She is so talented. I cant believe the level of detail in such a small piece. Not to mention the Bang Band facility! Everyone there is so friendly and helpful. The studio is clean, sophisticated, yet warm and inviting! It will be hard not to visit next time I am in New York!
