Empire Ink, Bayside

The bayside location My experience yesterday with my group of family was terrible. Damien who was our tattoo artist was very disrespectful and incorporative. He had a smug looked on his face and a very eerie demeanor which gave off he did not want to help us. I don’t know if it was because we were black or a group of 4 who wanted a tattoo and he was pissed off he had to do it. Either way he kept giving us pushback in regards to where we wanted our tattoo placed. He made my sister feel so uncomfortable she cried afterwards and said she never had an experience like that. Then when we mentioned the boss gave our group a 20% discount and we wanted to know the price he said “I don’t know about that” very stingy. Then when we tried to pay for our tattoo he now wanted to drop that they “only” take cash. Which is a lie!!!! He ended up giving his Zelle information but once I confirmed payment he did not say thank you. He was very disgusting and rude. Please do not come here and if you get Damien please run!!!!

Highly recommend, great vibes and high quality work.

Muy amables serviciales 100% recomendado

Cris did my tattoo an KD receptionist helped me fill in the forms from start to finish was brilliant thanks from a walking my image for my thumb became realistic 😀 was tattooed in no time very pleased with it very clean studio no wait

El ambiente y el staff de Empire ink era muy increíble, fuimos por mera curiosidad y terminamos abriéndonos unos piercing y 10/10 el servicio y el ambiente, gracias Dame por increíble servicio.

Highly recommend Empire Ink. Walked in to get a piercing removed and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. They provided over the top service on short notice and were super helpful. Rae’ven and Michael were very helpful.

Arnesto tattoo’d me two times during my stay, my father who hadn’t been tattoo’d in over 20 years, and my sister as well. We ALL loved his work! Great job done. He’s work is clean and worth the visit! The whole staff there were super friendly and everything I would want at a tattoo shop. I would recommend this place 10 times over. Will be coming back every-time I’m in Miami. They do fine line which is a plus!

Best tattoo place in Miami!!! Did such a great job on my Divine Feminine red ink fine line tattoo! So happy with the service and Ernesto our artist. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Will be back :)

So I walked in and asked the guy at the register how much a specific tattoo which I’ve wanted for a while would be and he said “For that size and type of tattoo that is it’ll be $20” and me my girlfriend and her mom all heard him say that but just in case for clarification I asked again “did you just say $20?” To which he said “yes” and again I asked “2. 0. Dollars right??” And he said “yes $20” so I said we could do it and the tattoo was fine and there weren’t any issues but when we were done he said “alright whenever you’re ready that’ll be $120” and we started arguing with the artist and his manager for like 10 minutes and after that they went down to $80 plus the card fee which made it $88. So while their work isn’t bad I DO NOT recommend that anyone goes there cause they lie about their pricing to try to trick you into paying more after you get the tattoo. Also he didn’t put the new skin on right it’s only been an hour and it keeps trying to peel off.

I love my tattoo, I will give them 10 stars
