What locals say about Rochester tattoo shops
Pulled from Google reviews of the top-rated shops in Rochester.
“I went with my 16 year old daughter for us both to get nose piercings. Tommy was professional, experienced, and walked my daughter and I through each step. He made me as a parent feel comfortable with coming here. I had looked at his reviews prior to coming and I also think they speak for themselves! Great experience and I plan on coming back for some tattoos!”
“Kristen was AMAZING. My 15 year old daughter got her navel pierced. Kristen was patient and did a few different marks, making sure we were satisfied with the placement of the piercing. My daughter felt light headed after the piercing and Kristen IMMEDIATELY called for juice, for my daughter. She waited until my daughter felt okay and didn't rush to get her out of the chair. We will definitely come back!”
“After 5 yesrs of a mental health milestone, i decided to get a tattoo for the 1st time. It took me a long time to come up with what i wanted. I am a former self harmer. Most of the other tattoo shops mafee feel awkward for this situation. One was outright rude about it , saying there was no place to tattoo. Meanwhile, this shop mamaged to find a spot on my right arm. They also listened to my story from start to finish . I overmoisturized like a rookie lol. When it was safe/feasible to do so, they touched it up and refused to charge me. Lol. I saw Andy. He was extremely understanding of my first timer fear. He was also very encouraging and praised me the whole time for generally sitting as still as possible. and how important it was to tell him if i needed a break.”
