Black Ink

I had an amazing experience getting tattooed by Tre at Black Ink Brooklyn. From start to finish, his professionalism really stood out. His communication was clear and honest, and the few moments of lack of communication before our session where we were consulting on the design and structure he took the time to reassure me and make sure I felt heard and comfortable and made he feel heard and putting real effort into the tattoo long before our session. Tre genuinely cares about giving his clients a great experience, not just a great tattoo. He checked in throughout the process, made sure the vision was right, and stayed committed to delivering quality work. You can tell he takes pride in what he does and respects the people he works on. If you’re looking for an artist who’s skilled, professional, and actually invested in your experience, I highly recommend booking with Tre 🖤 10/10

I had a great experience at the black ink crew. They are all so welcoming and very friendly. My tattoo artist is really good and gives you exactly what you want. Trey is very patient and big on placement. Trey will fix it multiple times for you before doing the tattoo. You will not regret going to the black ink crew!

10/10 recommend and will be going back. i went there from an add post on instagram. and i ended loving it there and went back. i got 3 works total done w/ artist Tre- phenomenal work. one of my bigger pieces at the moment was a scar cover up and i swear it did *not* hurt as badly as i had anticipated. apart from the scar reacting to being drawn on, i didn't feel much tattooing pain. He (Tre) was very patient and even offered breathing room while working on the cover up, which i think showered a lot of understanding and patience. A lot of care was put into each piece. definitely worth it. Plus it's a great atmosphere. everyone is very nice.

I NEVER leave reviews but I finally built up the courage to share this.i was extremely heartbroken over this experience I had at Black Ink Brooklyn...I had been looking forward to my birthday to get a cover up tattoo related to my faith. Longgg story short this was the result. I don't understand the lack of enthusiasm Cesar had towards doing my tattoo. I will say I didn't have a particular image already in mind I was looking forward to his expertise and suggestions. I wanted something small to cover up a Gemini sign. (You can still see it a bit in the bottom right side) I spent a great deal of time trying to decide and ultimately had to choose something pretty quickly. So I wasn't too happy w my choice but the final product came out really bad. The rose has no dimension and the lines although suppose to have thorns are very squiggly and it's just a poor job all around. I had high hopes and I honestly didn't know how to feel about my experience. Cesar came off very disinterested and almost bothered w my request. And by all means my intentions is not to bash or throw shade I really considered whether or not to leave this review. But it's worth knowing a customers perspective. Please receive the people w love! Smile when they come in. Try to hear their story, thoughts and ideas about what they're looking for. This is a permanent decision. Thanks for reading. And if anyone has any suggestions about how to make this more appealing on the eyes feel free to reach out!❣️

i didn’t want to do this butt, here we go. i really wanted to have a good experience here, but it was very disappointing, but i’m honestly not even surprised anymore. i first reached out to Tre; from Black Ink on November 9th. i paid my $100 deposit the same day. Today is December 4th.. since then, i never received my updated draft placement, a price range, or any clear communication about my tattoo. Every time i would send a message, it would take days or even over a week to get a reply, but most of my questions went unanswered. as of today, (December 4th) still no reply back from Tre. On November 22nd, i reached out to the shop directly (not Trey) via email, explaining the disappointing situation & politely asking for a refund. i followed up again this week (December 3rd) & i still have not received any response from the shop regarding my $100 deposit. Tre has also not communicated anything on his end, despite being active on social media.. At this point, i’ve contacted the shop through email TWICE & through Instagram (an app i don’t even use) & no one has responded. As a paying client, this has been extremely unprofessional & frustrating. i’m sharing my experience so others understand the lack of communication & accountability i encountered from both the artist & the shop.. i truly believe if i had booked with another artist or another shop, i wouldn’t be dealing with these issues. so please, don’t waste your time here, spend your money where it is deservedd💗! i honestly wish this company the best of luck moving forward..

I had an amazing experience with the artist, very detailed, patient, and made me feel so comfortable. My tattoo is perfect!!! Love my tattoo so much! Thank you so much Tre. I highly recommend him! 10/10

So a tattoo artist of the name of Tattedby_bux did my tattoo years ago in 2019 and never finished it in fact he did such a terrible job when I asked him if it was possible to fixed it he stated he a celebrity tattoo artist and that he didn’t owe me anything and that I should’ve came to him years ago extremely arrogant and nasty. He completely messed up my tat and never offer to fix it or provided a discount as a way to fix what he messed up please do not go this individual at all he’s a terrible artist and a terrible person his ig is @tattedby_bux again don’t go to him .

Tried to get a piercing here … the person clearly had an attitude. Seemed upset I didn’t want the piercing anymore because it wasn’t the same size as the ones I already had in my ear asking “does it matter” yes it does because why would I want different sized piercings all over ???

Got a tattoo with the owner, Ceasar. Showed up 1 hour late to the appointment, line work was inconsistent, had multiple blowouts, and places where the lines didn't connect. I made the mistake of paying for the 2nd session at the end of the 1st, and he refused to send me my money back despite there being no official policy on that. Horrible experience, do not recommend at all.

My artist was RUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lightskin guy at the front He seemed to be a little off, so I asked "how is your day going?" Because I don't want someone with bad energy tattooing me) This man said "how's your day going since you want me to ask you so bad" I kid you not this was the worst experience I ever had In customer service. Tattoo came out pretty good. Hated his fcking energy.

Pretty Professional Tattoo shop. Amazing Artwork from Tattoo designers artist. This is the show-based "BLACK INK CREW" ON VH1 Network-Channel. The store is located on Fulton street Between New york Avenue & Nostrand Avenues in heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant Brooklyn, Right down the block from carver federal savings bank - Bedford Stuyvesant bank branch !!!!. P.S. I've seen Puma back in 2019 at the West Indian Day / Labor day Parade, there had a "Black ink Float" at the parade supporting Afro-Caribbean culture & Black culture, puma seems pretty happy to be there that year. the parade has been canceled last year due to the coronavirus panamedic !!!! very convenient by the MTA transportation: Bus: B44,B25,B49 Subway: A , C-Train.Nostrand Avenue.Train station. or Commuter Rails : L.I.R.R-Nostrand Avenue. Train station.

Ok my daughter went to get her first tattoo, she said everyone was nice an cooperative. Her tattoo looks good!!

Clean clean clean! Walk ins are welcomed! First come first serve! You can text them shop your ideas and they will help You schedule an appointment!!

I recently visited NY from Ohio for my 22nd birthday. We were exploring Brooklyn and came across Black Ink. My sister and I watch the show all the time and was excited to see the store! We came in and asked for a walk in and they were so quick and helpful with our service. Pricing wasn't bad at all and they gave us a tattoo of a memory of my deceased brother that passed on NYE. It was an experience we will never forget! Shout out to our tattoo artists, Tachi and Lavender, you guys are so cool! Also shout out to Caesar, who was so nice and welcomed us in with open arms! I'm going to have to take them up on the Karaoke next time! Great place, great vibe!

The guy at the front desk is extremely rude. The artists have all ben kind. I believe her name was Sia that did my tattoo. I just hate coming here because of the front desk guy.

the guy at the cash register is pretty hot, even though his facial hair has shades of gray. how did he build all that muscle? I'm having exciting thoughts about him. unfortunately he doesn't draw, just sits on a chair with his adidas slides all day. they need to put him to better use. perhaps as an abercrombie and fitch topless store model?

Came in to see my girl Nychelle. She did NOT disappoint. The staff was friendly and I had an amazing experience. I will be back. :)

From the moment I walked through the door I was greeted nicely and treated with respect. All the artists that were present made me feel very comfortable and were super welcoming. As I was being tatted my artist (Swiss) was very accommodating and considerate. He asked if I ate and checking on me throughout the tattoo process which was about 5-6 hours. He was also very patient when I asked to take a couple of breaks. The owner Caesar even came in while I was being tatted, greeted me, complimented my tattoo, told my artist he was doing a good job , and asked if I needed anything, he was very polite and even joked around with everyone. The other artist that was present (Spyda) was very sociable and kept everyone laughing with his jokes and stories. Although I was one of the two women in the shop at the time, I felt very comfortable and the vibes were immaculate! I will definitely be returning for more ink soon and I have been recommending this very clean and well run black owned tattoo shop to anyone who needs new ink!

I personally love Black Ink I love watching the show, I want to let Ceasar know that things will get better I prayed for you and I support you 100 percent I know it's not easy just try to stay busy and don't get into your head too much .. I just love your show and your crew. love , Christine from New Hyde Park, Long Island. P.S Alex you might want to change the name of your beautiful garden... ZEN Garden it fits better lol.

Very rude staff. Specifically the light skinned guy with glasses at the front desk. The door was open so I walked in TO ASK A QUESTION. Before I could say anything, lil buddy at the front says "we'rE nOt OpEn" . I then politely said, "I just have a simple question". He responded with the same thing. Attitude and all. Bad for business. I hope he gets paper cuts between his toes.

So excited to have had the pleasure to go into Black Ink for a Tatoo. Mrs Kylah was so nice and professIonal. I love my Tatoo's. I was visiting from Houston. I can go home and Tell everyone that I had the Black Ink experience. Nicole Dina

As a major tattoo enthusiast I wasnt sure about going to a tattoo shop with so much hype surrounding it but I'm so glad I made that decision. I stopped in to see if anyone could do a cover up for me. The shop manager, Feezy, was not only kind and incredibly personable ... He was really knowledgeable and thorough. I had an idea of what I wanted and the size I wanted and he talked me through what was realistic in order to achieve the look I wanted. Feezy, my artist Jemz and I came up with a DOPE design that was beyond what I even envisioned when I walked in AND... You could never tell it was a Cover up. The shop was clean and spacious and the vibe was chill. I especially liked the music selection of 90's hip hop and R&B. Please ask for Feezy when you go!!! He knows what he's talking about and he takes care of the clients. He checked up on every client throughout their sessions while I was there. I'll be back again to add to sleeve I'm working on!!
