TJ Tattoo Studio Queens

The overall experience was not welcoming. The place is very small and becomes inconvenient.
The tattoo came out fine. Not a great work tough.

Loved the experience at TJ Tattoo. The Place is eloquent and clean and the staff is professional and courteous. This was the first tattoo for me and my 2 sisters and the Tattoo artist, Jinna did an awesome job. She was patient and took time to ensure she knew exactly what we wanted before she started. She did our Tattoo EXACTLY the way we wanted it. Thank you very much for making this experience a wonderful one for me and my sisters.

Got a tattoo from Jinna last night and I’m absolutely in love. She was incredibly professional, courteous, and considerate. I also asked her to do the tattoo in a spot that can be very tricky for straight lines and everything turned out wonderfully. In addition, she touched up an old tattoo of mine that I had gotten for cheap. She completely remade the tattoo into exactly what I had always intended it to look like. I will absolutely be returning!

I had a tattoo done by TJ, he’s an amazing artist: extremely talented, kind, personal, not a shred of attitude. professional and clean. i’d be going back to TJ again and again. he’s worth every cent and whatever wait you have to endure. TRUST ME. if something is worth getting… it’s worth the money and time. and TJ’s work is worth it’s weight in gold.
the staff there was upstanding and nice. i didn’t ever catch attitude from them on any of my visits… so i’m not sure where the heck people are coming from when they say that.
and the jewelry is beautiful, sophisticated, exotic and stylish… so even if you aren’t in the market for any sort of body manipulation, it’s worth looking at the adornments. i bought a lovely cocktail ring there carved from one piece of labrodorite that consistently garners me compliments to this day.

a few months back I got a tattoo by TJ, it was a wonderful experience! start out by sketching the ideas for about a week or so until it was exactly what I wanted. He really made sure to keep me included in the process (as one would hope, and expect to be from your tattoo artist.), making sure I was comfortable (or as comfortable as one could be.) He was very patient and my tattoo came out amazing. It healed beautifully and still looks as vibrant and amazing as it did the day I got it. I get compliments on it all the time. I will definitely be going back soon, and I suggest if you’re thinking about some new ink come check him out!

I went here to get a tattoo because I came here before with my friend when she got her tattoo so it felt like a familiar place.
The customer service was poor. It was my first tattoo and he knew that but he was very unhelpful and unwelcoming. He acted like I was wasting his time and like he didn’t want to do business with me. I asked for his input and he just sighed and did a BS job. He was mean and unfriendly. He treated me like a dumb and annoying kid instead of a customer. I almost just left without getting anything done.
However, my tattoo came out just fine and he gave very clear directions on how to take care of it.
Overall, the tattoo was good but the experience was horrible.

The artist did a good quick basically painless job but its a bit pricey and they dont speak good English at all.

This would be my second time going here in the last couple of months and each time I was pleased with the outcome. First of all, the place is clean, comfortable and the people there are very friendly. This time, I wanted TJ to do a tribal tattoo of Africa on my chest and it came out great. His attention to detail and his suggestions were very accurate. I highly recommend TJ tattoo parlor and I’m pretty sure you will not be disappointed.

I’ve gotten two tattoos from TJ. The first one I had done about a year ago, a relatively simple wing design that I brought in myself. I just had my second one done, a tarot-​themed half sleeve that I asked TJ to design for me with several criteria.
The shop itself is small, but clean and well-​lit. At street-​level you can’t really see anything inside, but it’s not at all an intimidating environment and if you’re a tattoo virgin it’s as welcome a place as you’re likely to find. TJ runs the shop himself most of the time, and he’s a humble, quiet guy.
I emailed TJ with a proposal for my second piece and he promptly replied. Within a few days he had the illustration completed, and after I requested some minor edits it was finalized the following day. My initial inquiry was on a Sunday and the tattoo was completed in two sessions (between 7 – 8 hours total) by the following Saturday.
TJ’s designs have a distinctly Japanese aesthetic to it which is exactly what I was looking for. I was really blown away by the original illustration even though I asked for some edits to keep it in theme with what I wanted. He has an intelligent approach to design and makes insightful suggestions if you are unsure about certain details.
Prices vary depending on the complexity/​size of your piece, but if you do some research on hourly rates for NYC tattoo artists you’ll find his prices to be very competitive. Cash is preferred, but he takes credit cards with an 8% surcharge. That said, I do think he undersells himself at the moment to attract more business. He has the talent to be pricing higher, and I suggest you walk into the shop and check out some of his work to judge for yourself. Once he gets some more reviews the prices are sure to go up and I expect there to be a waiting list eventually.

hello,
did eyebrow feathering/​embroidery. the lady didnt really know how to say it bc shes not from here im guessing chinese??? asian whatever she didnt know she just drew it on paper and asked if thats what i wanted. she did a great job. its very even, ask someone to come with you just for a second opinion

I was searching for a clean, non-​crowded place to get a new piercing, but needed them to carry titanium/​hypoallergenic jewelry since I have a nickel allergy.
Here’s what I learned from my conversation with them, in order:
1. They ONLY carry stainless steel jewelry. So if you have any allergy or skin sensitivity, too bad.
2. ***this is the kicker*** — they ONLY do standard EARLOBE piercings! $ 25.
I would guess this is done with a gun instead of a needle, since no real piercer would limit themselves to just earlobes…
In short, tat shop only. The tattoo photos on the website look nice, though.
