Artful Ink

Kelly the owner is an amazing artist and visionary. Her work is amazing and her line work is second to none.  Plan ahead as her schedule is usually booked for 3 months in advance.

No doubt one of the best tattoo shops on long island. Almost an all-girl group, not only are they professionals but treat you as if they've known you for years. Just by stepping into the shop makes you feel as comfortable as a well worn pair of slippers. Lately you need to go in and make an appointment a few months ahead of time, but well worth it.

I first went here when my brother wanted to take me to get my belly button pierced for my birthday.  We had originally tried Da Vinici's down on Sunrise in Wantagh, but they said even if my dad had been there, they wouldn't even touch me because I was only 17.  So my brother looked around for some place more local and brought me here.  I was a bit nervous but they said it was nothing, and it really was.  I mean bikini waxes are more painful than this.  It was good because they put me at ease a bit with my nerves.  The pricing here is really good too, unlike other places that jack prices thinking people don't do research.  I actually just went here a few weeks ago to get my cartilage done after I had turned 18, and they're after care instructions are awesome.  The girl Melissa who pierced me was really friendly and nice and sweet too, they all are though.  Last year I had Kelly pierce my belly button, and she still remembers me!  I'm going here in about a week to get my first tattoo with my brother, and when I told them what I was looking into, immediately they had so many ideas.  This is such a great local tattoo& piercing place with great prices and people.
