Village Tattoo NYC

I’ve been coming here for over 5 years after getting tattooed and pierced all over the city, and nowhere else compares. Jimmy is beyond talented—he’s incredibly kind, compassionate, and respectful, especially when working on something meaningful. He recently did a tattoo for me in my brother’s handwriting after my brother passed away, and I can’t put into words how much care and attention he put into every detail to make sure it was exactly right. Every tattoo I’ve gotten from Jimmy heals beautifully, and his work is always so clean and precise. Same with piercings—everything heals perfectly every time. The owner is also amazing and took so much time helping me choose the perfect nose piercing stud (I even went with the diamond), and they even discounted both the jewelry and the tattoo. What really says everything about Jimmy is that he’s never greedy or pushy about tips—I actually had to go out of my way to ask how to tip him because he told me not to worry about it. That level of integrity is rare. Hands down the cheapest in the city for the best quality, which honestly doesn’t even make sense given how good their work is. Clean, professional, kind, and genuinely talented. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Absolutely amazing! The woman who did our piercings was so kind. She took time to answer questions and walk through all the steps and after care. She was also genuinely funny! The piercing didn’t hurt much and I felt like I was in good hands the entire time.

I actually went next door first! I lost an earring while out and went to GoldInferno. I just needed something quick, simple, and easy so I popped into Village Tattoo. The staff was so friendly, helped me find an earring in my price range, and practiced great aseptic technique when putting it in. Even though I already had my ear pierced and wasn’t looking to spend much, they didn’t everything the right way and treated me with kindness and respect.
