Reviews
Extremely happy and satisfied with every tattoo I’ve gotten from Kreg Franco. His passion for this stuff is unmatched and I can’t wait to continue my sleeve with him. East side ink is extremely clean and accommodating with complimentary drinks and snacks.
I was looking to get tattooed here, just moving to NY looking for a good compatible artist to match my current style of ink. I was very unpleased by the person I met with for my consultation. He may be a good artist, sure. But he couldn't even crack a single smile while getting to know each other..made me extremely uncomfortable immediately! I felt no sense of any connection, interpersonal relationship..that as a client we need to feel goods confident about trusting someone to tattoo our bodies..Also the price was a HUGE joke. They quoted me $1200+ for a 3-5 inch tattoo!!
Telling me it will take 3 hours...when i have 25 of similar simple b&w few inch tattoos all over my body. And out of all 4 artists I've ever been to, it has taken them under ONE hour, or slightly over one hour max. This place is an outrageous rip off..not sure how they think these unfair prices are ethical, but they are not at all. DONT go here. Vibes were all off, and it sadly felt very driven by ripping people/ clients off, attracting ppl who may not know the market, know better. Felt awful to me I would not recommend going here find somewhere better!
I know I’m very late with this review considering my tattoo was done in Feb 2024… But I had to made sure I shared my experience at East Side Ink and with Mateo. The whole experience was amazing from start to finish and I am more than happy with my tattoo, it healed really well following the artists exact recommendations and to this day, a year and a some months later, the details of the tattoo are impeccable. Whenever I finally make my mind up for the several ideas I have for my next tat I will definitely be coming back here! (The before and after from day 1 to 1 year and 3 months later)
Caesar is without question the man when it comes to any woodcut/engraved style tattoos. I was struggling for a while to find an artist who was able to tackle the design I had in mind, and was ready to give up on it until I had Caesar and East Side Ink recommended to me. Despite being several states away, Caesar was kind, responsive, knowledgeable, and really showed he had a deep understanding for what makes tattoos in this style work. East Side Ink is also a very cozy studio, and the other artists/employees (never got their names, sorry) there were extremely kind and welcoming while I was waiting to get started and throughout getting the tattoo done. Couldn't be happier with how my tattoo turned out- price is definitely on the higher end but that's to be expected when getting work of this size and quality.
Thanks again to Caesar for the incredible work! If you have the money to spend on a large statement piece in this style, then I can't recommend these Caesar and East Side Ink enough. I already plan on returning in the future for my next piece.
I want to thank Jess Machete, Josh Lord and the rest of the staff at East Side Ink, for an incredible day! I won the Revolver magazine tattoo contest with Philip H. Anselmo and the Illegals. The tattoo is perfect and this will be a day I will never forget. I highly recommend anyone looking for a great tattoo experience to check out this shop. Thank you all again!
