Top Shelf Ink Tattoo Studio

I had my rook piercing done at another studio back in February and it was hurting so bad I decided to have it removed. Chris not only helped but showed me how a longer post would solve the issues I expressed. He was quick, helpful, and I was very appreciative (and physically relieved). I was not pierced here but would definitely consider coming back for my future piercings. Thank you Chris!

Walked into the shop with a clear idea, and they handled it with care and professionalism. The space was clean, the energy was calm, and the artists kept it real—no pressure, no attitude. Just solid work and respect for the process. Tattoo came out clean—lines are crisp, shading’s smooth. They took their time without dragging it out, and everything felt intentional. Prices were fair, and communication was solid from start to finish.

One of the worse experiences ever I should’ve read the reviews before. I wanted a semicolon with a heart and the heart was tat properly and it has a lot of spacing inside and I got this down yesterday not even 10 minutes and it was down I’m not an tattoo artist and you’re going to ask me how it look like I’m going to be able to see it that good until after couple hours. I don’t recommend I should followed my mind from I was trying to see where I wanted it and he gave me attitude about it’s your tattoo you should know where you want it. You don’t know if it’s a matching tattoo with someone else or something the worse after it heals I’ll go somewhere else to fix it up the heart don’t even shape good I wasn’t going to leave a review but I had to give I could give 0 star I would.

Soo I’m going to be completely honest the experience was pretty smooth over all do I like my tattoo NO did I pay yes with no problem did I voice this directly to the artist no so that’s my fault all honesty it was nothing I could do once he put the needle to skin I completely understand it was a cover up of a name but the butterfly completely unacceptable the rose is extremely dark I ask him what are some good ideas to cover this 5letter name and he straight told me I’m getting a rose didn’t give any creative ideas just told me a rose so I asked him what can complement the rose he told me a butterfly his line work is sloppy shading is off might I add it looks nothing like the reference picture I’m disappointed and unsatisfied with the tattoo over all also I would like to note another customer came to get another tattoo and was very rude he told her 845 and got me out there by 8:20 something 8:30 and I genuinely felt he could of took those 15min and took his time I felt I was rushed do to another client and this is just constructive criticism you get what you paid for 250 it gave edgy hood tattoo shop but if you genuinely want a chill spot to get something really simple book with him oh and he’s going to use deodorant as a Applicator For the tattoo stencil

It’s super hot in New York and I knew that I wanted to change my nose piercing and get belly pierced again. Thanks to T, he looked made my wish come true in 10 mins. Not only was he super nice and helpful but I legit felt no pain at all. All the baddies come down to Top Shelf Ink and get done up. He also does tattoos as well. Best prices in Brooklyn, tell him Dash sent you ❤️
