Really nice customer service, makes you feel less intimidated. Â Pretty girl with tattoos all over in front who was soo nice and friendly and helpful. Â The tattoo artist my cousin had was really talented and very nice as well.
Very clean place, the tattoo artist Alex was very careful and examined everything to a perfection.
Just saw a few of their art work and it was ehh, like these Chinese characters I wanted to get looked like chicken scratch and I would only  be drunk enough to get that on my body.  Other than that everything was good, just please get better chinese characters lol
I had my tattoo done at Big Joe's in Yonkers in 2005. The artist sat down with me and patiently helped me draw out my idea until it was exactly what I wanted. I love the art of my tattoo.
Only problem is years later, my tattoo still feels raised and bumpy, like it never healed properly. Another tattoo artist saw it somewhat recently and said "man, he beat the hell out of your skin, looks like he pressed too hard." It's my only tattoo so I don't know how my skin would react anywhere else (this is on my shoulder blade). I still love my tattoo and wouldn't change anything about it.
A few years later, I had a nipple pieced at Big Joe's in Yonkers. They charged me $50. No complaints - it was professional, clean, healed well, no problems. The next year, I had the other nipple pierced at the Big Joe's in White Plains. They charged me $40. Same thing, just cheaper (also no complaints, healed fine, etc). Not sure why the Yonkers Big Joe's charged a little more - probably just because they could and I didn't know the difference.
Great tattoo shop. Everyone seems very friendly here. I went to check out 2 other tattoo shops before going to Big Joes & the people in both places seemed so blah & unfriendly. Both me & my husband needed custom work done & Dennis did a great job with the drawing. My husband already had his done (black/gray Yankees  tattoo in picture) & it came out really nice. I'll update after I get mine done this week with a before & after since mine is a cover-up.
UPDATE: I got my tattoo & I love it! Dennis was very nice & does great work! I uploaded a picture of the before, outline & the after side by side...its the one that has the fairy on the moon as the before and the blue & black flower as the after. I plan to get more tattoos in the future & you best believe I'll go to Big Joes in Yonkers!
