Saved Tattoo

The only reason that I am giving this place only 4 stars is because of there unprofessionalism. Don't get me wrong, Anderson Luna (one of the resident tattoo artists) gave me a sick and extremely detailed tattoo, which i was beyond happy with. But! It was like breaking into fort knox to just get a freaken appointment. I live on long island and prefer the NYC tattoo shops (because they are the best), I had to drive to this place 3 times from long island to the city, wasting gas and my time, just to schedule an appointment. I mean in the end i guess it was worth it, but Anderson never told me how to take care of the tattoo after it was complete, he never emailed me when i was attempting to make my consultation and he made me wait and hour and a half before actually receiving the tattoo. WTF? I'm the client, aren't I?

Saved is hands down the most positive experience I've had at a tattoo shop. I've gotten six tattoos by Zac, and he does an amazing job. My first piece was based on a piece of artwork, so all he did was adapt it (wonderfully), but I fell in love with his work and immediately knew that I had to get some that were designed by him. I've actually had someone approach me and ask if one of them was done at Saved because the style is so representative of the shop.

I've only gone to really nice shops, and I'd recommend any of them, but even still I've been made to feel a little uneasy sometimes; because the artist didn't seem to think I was hip enough and decided to be off-putting, or their procedures seemed outdated to me (ie: sending me off with seran wrap on my tattoo instead of a proper bandage) - but I never experienced ANY of these things at Saved. It's just an unbelievably professional environment.

Not just Zac but the other tattoo artists made me feel very comfortable as well. As a 20-something in Brooklyn with a handful of tattoos I hardly feel like a hardcore veteran, but the people in the shop remember me/my tattoos and make a point to say hi, which is really nice. The pricing depends on the artist but with Zac it was super reasonable considering the amount of work he puts in, and how quickly he works. I wouldn't think twice about recommending getting work done here!

Remarkable experience! The shop was clean and everyone on the staff was pleasant and professional. I walked into Saved Tattoo a few weeks to inquire about getting a tat.  I was told to make an appointment directly with the artist. After coming back and consulting with Michelle on my basic idea, I told her to use her judgment and create a design. She decided that my idea would best be realized using an art nouveau motif.  Went in yesterday for the work. MIchelle was extremely conscientious. She placed the stencil on my arm several times because she was not happy with its placement. The tattoo went way beyond what I was hoping for.  Her use of color and her shading were impeccable.  I am very happy that I let Michelle create the  design.  I now will start saving for the next tat.
