Monsters Ink Tattoo Gallery

Fantastic experience: These people were so nice and super responsive. So many shops just ignore inquiries but these people were so great to work with.

Fantastic experience: Decided to get a sleeve as my first tattoo and was told to consult with Fran. As my first tattoo, I did not know what to expect but Fran made me feel welcomed and informed me on everything I needed to know. Fran did my sleeve in 2 sessions and included every single detail, even though it was not his specialty. Everyone in the shop was also welcoming, would recommend 1000 times again.

Fantastic experience: Super cool gems and creativity from my home girl Niki . Hospitality was 10/10 as well !

Fantastic experience: Finally got to finished my leg and there are no words how excited I am on how everything came together! Fran is a wizard when it comes to his art. If you want a chill and awesome atmosphere with even better artists look no further this is the shop!

Fantastic experience: Fran did half my leg sleeve and I couldn’t tell you how happy I am. Told him my idea and he designed the whole leg perfect. He pays attention to detail, he’s easy on the skin, takes care of you makes sure you are comfortable and does an amazing job. 2 days back to back for this and well worth it. If you’re doing any anime I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. Excited to finish the rest of my leg with and any future tattoos just look at this art.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been here multiple times, and Angela Azure always does an amazing job. She’s incredibly patient and takes the time to listen, making the whole experience comfortable. She’s also very flexible and accommodating, and her prices are more than reasonable for the quality of work she delivers. Every tattoo I’ve gotten from her has turned out beautifully, and I always have people complimenting her work and asking who did it. I highly recommend Angela to anyone looking for a talented and professional tattoo artist!

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome !!! From the moment I walked in, until I left how ever many hours later, I got treated like family !! I had artist Fran. I showed him what I wanted, and he did not disappoint!!! I cannot wait for my other 2 sessions !!

Fantastic experience: I had artist Fran Rodriguez work with me to bring a anime piece to life and honestly he was the absolute best!!! Fran was a pleasure to spend the day with as he provided phenomenal service and conversation throughout the tattoo session. Fran's creative input is truly super dope as he listens to the customer while he is also ready to add his own twist to it in order to make it a 1 of 1 masterpiece that matches your body perfectly. We went with a Black & Grey piece with Color on my lower left inner arm that came out so fire! I highly recommend anyone who is looking to get some nice Anime and Japanese Art done to book their tattoo session with my guy Fran Rodriguez!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing work great environment and good energy everything i could ask for and then some. If I can give it 10 stars I would, definitely looking foward to come back again and the pieces were done incredibly mine is on the left my dad is on the right. (oct 24th 2025 I came back for two more pieces one i got in july the other the 4th of this month) Amazing quality and work they all healed amazingly especially the naruto which is now 1 year 5 months healed the pictures on my arm with goku saskue and Naruto all done by Fran_tattz

Fantastic experience: Fran the anime tattoo GOAT!! did this amazing Tanjiro and i will be going back so he can finish my whole leg thanks again!

Fantastic experience: Don’t plan on getting another tattoo anywhere else. Never met an artist so passionate and excited about work with people and on top of that the talent is out of this world. Already want to finish my entire arm with Fran.

Fantastic experience: I actually got my Forearm done by Fran. When I tell you he can take all my money I mean it. Painless and we talked the whole way through it. Honestly he’s a great guy too super chill. As well as Affordable for the work you receive

Fantastic experience: I love the open space and the decorations once you walk in. It's like walking into a different world, coming from outdide- I appreciate every bit.

Fantastic experience: The shop was very spacious and cool atmosphere. Angela Azure was my tattoo artist and she was amazing. Extremely light touch, it barely felt like I was getting tattooed. Very professional and finished my tattoo in record time and it came out incredible!

Negative experience: Just overall bad experience made an appointment sent the deposit, appointment was set for 9/19/25 I made this appointment weeks in advance the artist claimed they could do the tattoos and do it the way we wanted me and my wife. I had to ask 3 times for an image of what he will do took him 3 times to get me a rough draft for it to not even come close to what was asked for then claims he couldnt wrap his head around the tattoo that the clients vision isnt a good one and doesnt work yet never tried only used the images provided as reference (asked for artist to make the dragon couldnt even do it) now its 4 days away from the appointment and I am told they cant do it the way we wanted then gave us a rough draft nowhere near close to what was asked. Upon requesting refund was told i had to wait days for it mind you i sent it via zelle if i never got it done should be a 123 refund back. The artist then gets upset and argues with me on text as if I caused an issue, if you cant do it you should have stated that earlier than have me wait and assume we’d take whatever we get poor customer service all around from artist. @miguelangel_tattoo just over poor communication and customer service

Fantastic experience: I went to Angela for another tattoo. Yes I stated another, Angela did my left leg sleeve. Recently added a few things for my left arm if you are trying to get great work done and build a genuine connection with your artist. I recommend going to Angela!

Fantastic experience: Angela Azure was an absolutely amazing artist whose artwork speaks for itself. She gave me a beautiful tat and was great throughout the whole session. Definitely will be coming back!

Fantastic experience: Came here the other day to get my ears pierced for the first time it was a quick fast session. The woman who worked with me, Nicole is very friendly, gentle and very professional would definitely recommend coming here ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: I have had 2 sessions with Angela and I couldn’t be happier. She is absolutely amazing at listening and making my visions come to life. I am thrilled to have found her and look forward to many more sessions with her!!!

Fantastic experience: Angela Azure, absolutely beyond words! Fantastic professional, she was focused and great eye with detail! Looking forward to another tattoo session soon! Thank You Angela.

Fantastic experience: Angela !!! 10/10 experience she’s an amazing artist. I appreciate her for listening to what I wanted making it happen !

Fantastic experience: Angela was my artist and was super nice. Her style is amazing and my tattoo came out even better than expected. The environment was great and she was very kind throughout the whole process!

Fantastic experience: Got my first tattoo here & I loved it. Angela did such a good job helping me finalize the idea of my tattoo & she executed it beautifully. She finished very quick too! Definitely will be back here.

Fantastic experience: Isa did an incredible retouch! My tattoo looks fresh,vibrant and better than ever. I couldn’t be happier with the result.!

Fantastic experience: Fran_tattz does incredible work, best anime tattoo artist around. Thank you again franz my tattoo turned out incredible!

Fantastic experience: Angela is amazing and a very good artist 10/10! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: On June 4th I went to get my lobes pierced for the first time. My piecer was Niki and she was sooo amazing!! I was nervous because it was my first time ever getting pierced but Niki was super comforting and professional. She made sure everything was clean and sterile, took her time marking my ears and even let my mom and I look it over before she pierced me. She also gave options for different types of studs, but I went with the basic one. The piercing was quick and pretty painless; Niki was very sweet and made it way better than I could've imagined, even telling me to take deep breaths when she was piercing my ears. She also gave me a coupon and an after care package. I couldn't have imagined a better time getting pierced! If you're looking to get pierced I'd definitely recommend Niki!

Fantastic experience: Came in feeling nervous after not getting a tattoo in sooo many years but Fran definitely put me at ease and made me feel comfortable, he definitely cares about his work of art and his client, always made sure if I was doing alright. 10/10 !!

Fantastic experience: I’ve gotten both my tattoos done here with the same artist (Angela) and she does amazing! I love the atmosphere of this place and they play great music.

Fantastic experience: Hands down one of the best tattoo studios in new jersey. The atmosphere of the shop is very welcoming and all around a great vibe. I trusted tokin with my first piece back into the tattoo world and since then I’ve been back 5 times. Every time I go here I leave with my stomach hurting from laughing so much and a fire piece to stare at for hours butt naked in the mirror. Tattoos done by @Tokin_tattoos_

Negative experience: I paid $3,200 to have my forearm tattooed, but he never finished the job. His excuse was that he was tired and we needed to continue another day. He told me; we could do it any day, since it would only take him maybe an hour to blend the two tattoos properly. After a few weeks, I contacted him on Instagram and iMessage to find out when I could come, but he never told me or simply didn't respond. @dinerotattoos He is a good artist, but it seems that he only cares about money and not pleasing his clients.

Fantastic experience: Modern tattoo studio and warm staff! San and Isa did a great job they were so sweet! Looking forward to my next appt!

Fantastic experience: Very modern tattoo parlor . Lots of good artist and very clean .

Fantastic experience: I did my nose piercing and it was so quick and easy! A month had gone by and my corkscrew piercing had fallen out but i easily got it done again here and it’s fully healed:)

Fantastic experience: my go to place ! been blinged, pierced, and looking forward to getting inked here next. what a wonderful team they have here. seriously love you guys.

Fantastic experience: Sandra was so sweet piercing mine and my husband’s nose. I’ve gotten my nose pierced before, but she made it so effortless. Will definitely be going back to her for more piercings and tattoos!

Fantastic experience: shes the best of the best, i’ve gotten a total of 10 piercings by her and she’s the very best!!!!!

Fantastic experience: I got my tragus and flat pierced by PokedbySan and I absolutely love it!! She also just did a tattoo down my spine which I am completely in love with. she is amazing !!! 10/10 Recommend her !!

Fantastic experience: every time i go to Monsters Ink, its amazing!! everyone is so lively and lovely. i’ve had a couple of tattoos and piercings done by San, and i absolutely adore them all. she makes you feel so comfortable through the entire process, talks to you, has such a genuinely beautiful soul, i couldn't recommend her more. Monsters Ink is my #1, the entire staff is amazing, i love it there.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely adore San!! I’ve had three tattoos done with her and all came out perfect!! I’ve also gotten my girlies pierced with her along with my belly button, and the healing experience was perfect. I 1000000% recommend her, she’s absolutely amazing<3

Fantastic experience: I got a piercing and tattoo with Sandra, she was amazing! so clean and detailed. I will definitely go back!

Fantastic experience: Very nice vibes. The owner, I believe, or the manger was great. The front desk attendant was very nice and attentive. My tattoo artist, Josh was cool and easy to talk with. I loved the art in the place. I suggested to Josh that they keep a few pieces of their art in the shop so that people, such as myself, could purchase a piece or two. My cousin and I came here for our birthdays and we loved the experience.

Fantastic experience: Nikki (@piercingmermaid) did my tooth gems about a year ago and they're still going strong. When I went in there she found the exact gems that fit the shape and size of my tooth and to this day I think that's why they're so sturdy. I got a gold snake, two opals, and a heart gem. She's lovely and when I want some more I would definitely go to her.

Fantastic experience: I gotten pierced by San from the beginning of her career and since day 1 she has been so knowledgeable about all types of piercings. Even with gentle hands she still continuously ask if your okay or if need anything always putting her clients first. Was available when i had questions on after care and always followed up with me. Highly recommend going to San for any piercing :)

Fantastic experience: One of my favorite places to get pierced! Sandra is very knowledgeable and walks you through the whole process making sure you’re comfortable. She also follows up to make sure you downsize and the piercing is healing correctly. Always recommend this place to friends and family

Negative experience: If I could give this place zero stars I would. I got my nose jewelry changed by PokedbySan and ended up with Enterococcus faecalis infection in my nose piercing site - which is a bacteria found in FECES!!!! I am so distraught and never in a million years would think that this would happen. This place is soooo unsanitary when it comes to piercings. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do your research when finding a piercer and stick to one that is reputable and you can trust. The jewelry is also not titanium and low grade quality. Do not spend your money here or you’ll end up getting an infection. This place is DISGUSTINGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!

Negative experience: I came in to ONLY get my nose jewelry changed for only a couple weeks later to end up with an infection. The piercing artist San, who changed the jewelry struggled to insert the nose rings attempting multiple times leaving my nose sore for 2 weeks. I knew something was off but disregarded it. I asked if the jewelry could be cut so that it wouldn’t stick out of my nose to which she advised was okay to do and told me to come back since she had to order the cutting pliers off Amazon and would come the following week. I came back in to get the jewelry cut, and noticed that she also struggled to cut it, once again forcing/ removing the jewelry to get it in. Weeks after getting the jewelry cut my nose began to throb for 2 days straight. On the third day, I woke up to a huge bump with the piercing site filled with puss. I went to my doctor, and then a reputable piercer who informed me that the jewelry was not titanium grade jewelry for starters.There were broken pieces of the jewelry in the piercing hole and was told that the jewelry should’ve not been cut because it was cutting my skin causing the infection. Not to mention because she forced/was removing the jewelry multiple times she expanded my piercing hole. When I went to a more reputable piercer I was also informed that it was cheap and was probably brought from Amazon. I do not recommend coming here for a piercing or even changing jewelry.

Fantastic experience: My daughter and I are returning customers. San, the piercer, is AWESOME! She’s very kind, gentle and knowledgeable. She gets back to me very quickly if I ever have any questions. I highly recommend San.

Fantastic experience: Sandra, aka Pokedbysan, is hands down one of the best piercing and tattoo artists I’ve ever met. Not only is she incredibly talented at what she does, but she’s also just an all-around amazing person. When it comes to piercings, she makes sure everything is super clean and takes the time to make you feel comfortable. She explains the whole process, sets clear expectations, and uses only top-quality, surgical-grade titanium jewelry. She offers great advice based on her professional experience but always respects your decisions and supports you through the entire process. What really sets her apart is the follow-up care—she encourages check-ins for jewelry downsizing and deep cleanings, which is something you rarely see elsewhere. As for her tattoos, her fine-line work is absolutely stunning. Some of the pieces she’s done for me didn’t even need a touch-up, which says it all. Her attention to detail is incredible, and you can tell she really loves what she does. On top of all that, Sandra is just an awesome person to be around. She gives off such good vibes that you’ll want to keep coming back—not just for her work but for the experience as a whole. Honestly, whether she’s piercing or tattooing, there’s no one else I’d rather get “poked” by. Follow her on IG @pokedbysan

Negative experience: Got a navel change here by the piercer, “PokedBySan” I specifically told her that I wanted an internally threaded navel jewelry made of implant grade titanium. She told me it was (which if it was a reputable piercing shop it would ONLY have) and i was given a poor quality navel jewelry. it was externally threaded, and caused a lot of trauma to my piercing site. Not only that, it's cheaply made, and most likely not titanium, which is unacceptable for piercing. As someone with 18 piercings and knowledgeable about piercing and safepiercing and APP, this place is not reputable or safe place. They should not be providing piercings and the piercer should become more educated.

Fantastic experience: I’ve gotten a lot of tattooed at this store and it’s very clean and safe! the staff is super friendly and attentive, this time i got tattoed by isa, she was great very gentle and made sure i was comfortable with the designe, the placement and that i was comfortable all the way until the end! her IG is inkbyisa_ hit her up she replies fasts!! 10/10 experience over all!!

Fantastic experience: i got my helix pierced with Nikki and she was so nice and understanding!

Fantastic experience: I’ve gotten a majority of my piercings here by San or Nikki. San & Nikki are the sweetest people ever and have always made me feel comfortable when getting serviced by them! I also just got tooth gems by Nikki! The process was super easy and pain free. Definitely love them both!!

Fantastic experience: Excellent service! They designed the exact tattoo I was trying to get for my birthday. Thank you!!!

Fantastic experience: Exceptional Service. ISA is a great artist who provided Top class performance. Very talented. The studio is amazing.

Fantastic experience: I've been to Monsters Ink a couple of times and gotten different services, Isa is amazing! Super friendly, amazing personality , super professional and clean. Def recommend to go to her, I always have a blast and leave super happy! ❤️

Fantastic experience: Tattoos both done by Kerry and she did an amazing ing job on both. The purple flowers with skulls was a great cover up. I get nothing but compliments every where i go on how detailed and beautiful the mix of purples are. I also attached a before pic of the part she covered up. Then may nightmare before Christmas piece was a basic stencil she took to a whole new level with eclipse look since we did it on the day of the eclipse. In this Pic it was almost totally healed in such a short time. Kerry has a soft had and does such great color pieces. I'm already planning my next with her!

Fantastic experience: I have had the best experience with Pokedbysan. She is so Professional and the sweetest piercer I have ever met. She has the nicest and chilliest vide ever . This is my 5th piercing by her and I don’t regret any of them. She is so attentive and is always willing to help no matter what question I have . My piercings have all healed properly and she always checks in to make sure they are doing good . Love her and grew the nicest relationship with her !! Definitely recommend 100 %

Fantastic experience: All of the artists and piercers are amazing! Sandra is hands down THE best piercer I’ve ever gone to. She made me feel so comfortable for all of my piercings and she listens to her clients. I’ve been tattooed by Carlos and he is a very talented artist. Left me with an amazing realistic tattoo of my cats exactly how I wanted it but BETTER.

Fantastic experience: loveeee getting pierced here by sandra!!! she’s the best and always does a great job! Pokedbysan is killing it!!

Fantastic experience: PokedbySan work is amazing!!

Fantastic experience: Love Piercedbysan and her work

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing experience getting my helix pierced by “PokedbySan”. In less than a year it is already healed and I had no problems during the process. She made the process very quick and easy

Fantastic experience: I always love my experience in Monsters Ink Gallery. Pokedbysan has always been so sweet and makes me feel comfortable and safe to get my piercings done. Marzz has always been the homie with amazing tattoo skills. They both are talented and I can’t thank them enough <3

Fantastic experience: Yo… Sandra is an AMAZING piercer. I got my high double nostrils pierced by her exactly 1 year ago, and they healed incredibly. I have had 11 total piercings on my face in my time and Sandra’s work is hands down my favorite. Absolutely killer, love her to pieces

Fantastic experience: i came here for a piercing with San (pokedbysan). She was so amazing and very welcoming and always made sure I was comfortable and liked the placement of my piercing! I loved her and will be going back to her again

Fantastic experience: i had two amazing piercing experiences with san! san was very friendly and informative and made the experience so fun.

Fantastic experience: PokedbySan is amazing and so kind and talented!, 100% recommend

Fantastic experience: Which ever way you are getting pokedbysan, she never disappoints!

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience with Isa during the Friday the 13th flash sale event, despite it being one of the busiest times. From the start, Isa was incredibly helpful and attentive throughout the entire tattooing process. She made sure to answer all our questions, which put us at ease, and her sense of humor made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Isa's ability to create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere was truly appreciated, especially during such a high-demand event. I’ll definitely be coming back for more ink in the future. Thanks again, Isa!

Fantastic experience: My man Dinero is the GOAT. Don't even have words to describe his art. He is such a good artist but an even better person. He truly has a passion and love for his work and will not be done unless the client is satisfied. His only goal is to satisfy the client. Such a funny dude but also takes his work very serious. His work LASTS. You can see his healed work and it looks BEAUTIFUL! Many artists nowadays use filters and only show fresh work, which looks good in the moment but does not age well. Trust me, Dineros work look spectacular new, but ages like fine wine. Also, his PRICING IS GREAT. You can not find anyone at this caliber charging as little as he does. Respect homie, see you soon!

Negative experience: They switched my artist and the. I said I didn’t want to get a tattoo by that artist….they won’t return my deposit and pretty much just robbed me

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and clean environment. I cannot be more grateful for Kerry though. She did an absolutely amazing job on my newest tattoo. She stayed in touch and kept me updated on the progress. It is like Kerry knew what I wanted before I did! She is intuitive and has a wonderful personality. I had my best tattooing experience with her! She works with magic. She gave me great advice for aftercare and was easy to contact with any questions I had. I cannot stop showing off my ink or recommending her to anyone who is looking for an artist.

Fantastic experience: Love this place I got my ears pierced and they were so kind and patient . Very clean and sanitized place. I completely recommend. (Thank you Nicole! )

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at the shop. Fran was awesome and his work was excellent, 10/10!!! The environment is clean and very professional. He made me feel comfortable and he really cared of every detail of my tattoo. Overall it was awesome. I recommend the shop and Fran 100%

Fantastic experience: One of the coolest tattoo shops I’ve been to. Not only is a it a great clean artistic environment, but all the artist are extremely talented everyone specializes in something great.

Fantastic experience: Super friendly , the BEST TATTOO artists !! Easy to get in contact with , they make you feel comfortable & have the best vibes in the shop while you’re getting tatted. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Had a awesome experience here! Kerry was so fun and kind, and lighthanded! She did my work and is absolutely phenomenal color and anime artist I will definitely be back to see her for the rest of my work...Definitely hit her up if your in the tri state area for any of your ideas she will definitely bring them to life @kerryfairytattoos on Instagram

Fantastic experience: Dinero has the most clean outlines & smooth shading a keeper for the tattoo industry frfr

Fantastic experience: I reached out to Fran for his colors and creative design of characters in his tattoos. Scheduling was very easy and finding the shop with parking right nearby it was great. Fran is a genius with ink. The characters are large with a lot of detail, vibrant colors(sure to catch the eye of any passerby), and all custom design(no copy, paste, and then just tattoo). Fran and his fellow artists at Monsters Ink were all very welcoming and great giving insight and conversation throughout the entire tattoo appointment. Fran always made sure you were comfortable throughout the whole process, with constant check ins and breaks. Fantastic artist, I've already recommended him to friends and family who have and are looking to get tattoos. If you're looking for an artist, Fran will not disappoint. Absolutely will be going back for future projects!

Fantastic experience: Great place, Great Service, highly suggest if you’re looking for an anime tattoo, please go to Fran.. did a tremendous job with everything. 10/10.
