Barbara N.
INKSTINCT NYC came recommended by a coworker and now I see why. Quality work, showed up on time, and the price matched the estimate. Novel concept apparently.
Andrew L.
Found INKSTINCT NYC through a Google search and glad I did. They were responsive, showed up when they said they would, and the quality of work was excellent. Price was competitive with the other quotes I received. Would definitely use them again.

Walk in for a small piece behind my ear. No appointment needed for small stuff. Done in 20 min, clean lines, healed great. $114 for the minimum.

Shane K.
Custom piece on my forearm. Artist spent like 2 hours on the design before we even started. The attention to detail shows in the final product. Healed perfectly.

Decent service. Not the cheapest option but you can tell they know what theyre doing. Took a bit longer than quoted but the end result was good. Would probably use again.
