Thank you to Studio 28 and Ralph for giving me a 10/10 tattoo experience. Great artists working in a clean and awesome environment. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a tattoo in Manhattan.
Super clean, and really cool artists. Did an awesome job on my tattoo!
Studio 28 is the first place I went to get help with a piercing issue I had when I moved to NYC and Saylor was able to help me out and was very friendly. I felt so comfortable that I decided to ask about tattoos and I saw Alex Alien tattoos and I thought they were awesome so I decided to get a tatto...
Best experience we could have hoped for.
We had organised to get tattooed by Rafael on super short notice. Not only did he create a design we loved super fast, but he and everyone else were great at making us feel like they were excited to have us there. Rafael and TJ made us feel totally comfort...
I walked in to get my rook pierced on a Saturday and I couldn't be happier with my piercing or the service I received. Saylor made me feel so comfortable and had me laughing the whole time. He took his time to explain the process to me, giving me detail instructions on how to clean my piercing, and ...
Everyone here was very friendly and professional. Positive experience on our trip to NYC.
I got my nose pierced in 2015 and I just got a double helix a couple weeks ago. This place is pristine, everyone is so nice, I legitimately have no complaints. Just make sure you go after pay day cuz the jewelry is pretty high end.
A friend of mine recently had a beautiful tattoo done at Studio 28, and since I had been wanting some work done, I went over to check the place out on a Saturday. The place was very clean and the people there were friendly. I discussed what kind of tattoo I wanted and made an appointment for the fol...
Saylor was a wonderful piercer and did a great job piercing my reconstructed post gauge ears. Highly highly recommended.
I have never been so impressed with a studio. I went to get pierced with Vicki. They happened to have just reopened, and the studio was so clean. Everyone there was so helpful and knew their stuff. Vicki was also very knowledgable and so respectful during the appointment, making sure I was happy and...
This tattoo spot was just what I was looking for. The whole entire staff was extremely friendly and professional. The place is very well maintained and organized. My tattoo artist (RALPH ROSA) is beyond amazing with his art work. My search for a permanent tattoo artist is over!!! This artist and th...
Saylor (body piercing artist) and the rest of the team were very patient and pleasant. They certainly make you feel comfortable there. Further, Saylor is quite a perfectionist and very accommodating... Went back for a progress report and he made some adjustments right away so that we both would be h...
He did such. A great time on cover up and ink stood great .. hes the best love ya. see ya soon LeeAnn
I had my ear cartilage pierced here. Decent prices, good variety of different types of studs, labrets, gauges, industrials and what not. They aslo offer you aftercare items for sale and you can always come back for consult. TJ was very helpful, he provided me with the information that i needed about...
The staff is amazing, answered my messages quickly before the appointment, helped tremendously with adapting the design to my preferences and made my first tattoo experience an amazing one!
Everyone at the shop is so kind and wonderful, I had such a great experience going in to get my septum pierced. It was my second time getting it done so I was very nervous that it would hurt more but Saylor was amazing and it barely hurt at all. They have a great selection of jewelry and everything ...
I never write reviews, but I had such a fabulous experience with Vicki I wanted to leave her good feedback. I have had a lot of problems over the years with my ear-lobe piercings starting to close up and then bleeding after I don't wear earrings for a few days. I'd recently had enough, and thought I...
Saylor is awesome! Super friendly - great piercing!
Great service, everyone was so friendly! Super up front about everything that was going to happen, very devoted to sanitizing everything before and after! I'll definitely be back!!!
The ladies here really know their stuff! Vicki Rose pierced my daith taking into account my ear anatomy and I'm super happy with it. Healing it has been very easy -- definitely buy the sterile solution they have available ($10) and follow all their aftercare directions.
When I went back 6 weeks l...
Took a chance and walked in after googling tattoo shops in NYC - we were made so welcome on arrival - after explaining what we wanted the staff organised for the 3 of us to get tattooed - shop was immaculate, very modern and a great atmosphere - exceptional customer service - we all got tattooed by ...
I was blown away honestly. I was nervous going in, as I was not even decided between two different piercings. The counter help was just wonderful explaining the different types of jewelry available, and all of the jewelry is beautiful. I really enjoy seeing more than just the basic starter sterling ...
I went in yesterday to get my rook and tragus pierced and the experience was great!! Kirsten explained everything to me and made me feel comfortable. It was very quick and didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. I will definitely be coming back here for more piercings/tattoos and I have already r...
Excellent clean facilities. Great body jewellery prices.
This place is THE place to get a piercing. The staff is so nice, so helpful, and provide you with so much information before you get anything done. The location REALLY CLEAN and very sanitary. I highly recommend Vicki Rose. She is awesome, calm, and so professional! You get what you pay for, defini...
The staff was really professional, nice, and knowledgeable!!! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone
Love it, check out Sawyer for piercings if you can!
I got my nostril piercing on Friday at studio 28, Kirsten attended to me and she was really nice and professional at what she did and she talked me through everything, I will definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a nice piercing job done.
I went in around New Years to get my first tattoo and was super impressed! Their space is clean and their staff is awesome! Jason helped me stay calm the whole way through especially when I started to get all wiggly! Thanks so much for an awesome experience and when I come back to NYC I'll definitel...
I came in for my first piercing. The staff was courteous and friendly. The environment was clean and fun. I love that it's nestled inside of the floral distinct. I highly recommend these guys!
Dope staff. Really helpful. And gave me free washers for my gauges.
Very clean. Super friendly staff. I got my rook pierced and it went very smoothly.
Studio 28 was super clean and a great shop. The staff was very friendly and answered all questions. Olivia was an amazing artist and made sure we were comfortable and loved the design.
Extremely satisfied with my Experience in Studio 28!
Went there on my honeymoon and with a very tight schedule, yet TJ was very accommodating and managed to book me a session on a short notice.
Very interesting people, great service, professional attitude, impeccable execution by Rafael, clean...
I had Bo.
This was my second tattoo. Bo was professional and courteous and worked with me to ensure the size and design were what I had in mind. Felt comfortable and am super pleased with the results. Would definitely go here again
Fantastic!!! The lady who helped me take out my jewelry was very knowledgeable and helpful. Painful to put in, but Great experience overall. Will be back soon.
I was in literally yesterday for a triple forward helix piercing. Before coming I had my questions pleasantly (and quickly!) responded to via email...& when I got there Saylor was so kind and helped put me at ease about it the piercing. Explained everything he was going to do, and worked with me to ...
Nice people but the post fot the earing was too short. After ten days I had to have it changed because of the irritation... I was travelling to Colorado and had to pay a second time for the work. quite expensive piercing at the end! Moreover in the place where I went the second time they told me tha...
Amazing experience. Olivia was so sweet and her design and work are crisp!
I have 10 ear piercings, nose, and belly button piercing, but I have never experienced such an incredible piercing experience. I was pierced by Vicky. They asked for consent every single time before they touched me, which was extremely appreciated. I ve never felt so comfortable getting pierced. All...
This place was amazing. I got a nose piercing here yesterday and I was a little nervous about it. The owner and the woman who pierced my nose were sweet and understanding, super professional and just the best kind of humans you want when you're doing something you're afraid of. The are super clean a...
Studio 28 has such a calming, friendly atmosphere. I very much enjoyed the whole experience from choosing my jewellery to having my piercing. Vicki Rose was absolutely fab, I would recommend her to anyone. She was so welcoming, friendly, reassuring and extremely professional. Thank you for my gorgeo...
I've had a few piercings done at Studio 28 and each time my experience is even better than the last! Vicki was my piercer today, and they are one of the most kind, caring, patient and professional people I've ever met. I'm so incredibly thankful that they not only helped me to figure out what pierci...
Amazing experience! I was in the area and decided that I wanted to get a nose piercing. So I walked in the studio, was greeted by very upbeat, kind, and excited people who made me feel extremely comfortable. Although it was more expensive than I originally expected, I had no problem with it because ...
Great place. Responded to me very fast.Everyone is friendly and very helpful. Very Clean and also made me feel comfortable. Just got two tattoos done by RalphRosa and it exceeded my expectation. I love them both. One was a cover up and the outcome was great. Good job
Great Staff, super quick, really professional - I can highly recommend them
DO NOT GET YOUR PIERCINGS DONE HERE. Both my friend and I had to go back multiple times to get them fixed, despite following the aftercare instructions exactly. Each time we went back to get them fixed, there was a general attitude of cluelessness -- "I have no idea why it's doing that!" Next time I...
Very professional, welcoming, clean and friendly environment wouldn't go anywhere else to get my piercings done. I always have a Pleasant time here and sailor is bomb!
Was very easy to schedule and they were great especially since it was our first tattoos!
I absolutely loved it here! I was kinda nervous walking in and unsure of what to expect since it was my first nostril piercing, but the people put me right at ease. Everyone was very kind and helpful. Kirsten (the person piercing me) was calm, informative and nice, and the shop was very clean. When ...
Will you guys pierce 12 year old's belly button? Because my daughter wants one?
First time tattoo, so I was kind of nervous... the entire staff was genuinely nice and helpful and Rafael was a great artist and kept me comfortable the entire time. They gave clear instructions about taking care of the tattoo afterwards and invite you to come back with any questions or concerns. Cl...
Great experience overall. Patient and professional staff. Kirsten did my cartilage piercing and she was very professional, did a great job! Definitely recommend Kirsten!
Went in to get my septum pierced on a whim. Extremely clean place. Everyone was extremely knowledgeable. The staff actually care about what they are doing to your body, they aren't just there to make money.
Excellent customer service. Excellent expertise in piercing. Very clean. Great option of piercing jewelry. I got a helix piercing done by Kirsten and she was great. She listen to what I wanted but also made sure that it looked good on my ears.
The actual piercing was almost painless, but not sure i...
I had the greatest experience at Studio 28! I waited about 30 min for Sailor to get back with jewelry from a show and he waived my installation fee for my wait time and actually cared about how the jewelry fit and how I liked the piercing instead of just making a sale. Shop was clean and every emplo...
I traveled to NYC for business and wanted to get my first tattoo while there! I researched for months and then found Bo with Studio 28 on Instagram. Bo set up, eased my nerves, and did a great job. Clean shop, friendly people. I enjoyed being close to other people getting tattoos, made it feel more ...
Guys, these people are the best! I just got my second nose piercing there with Kirsten and I was so impressed and how kind and knowledgeable she was. She was super respectful and walked me through the whole experience beforehand, made sure I was super comfortable and gave very specific directions fo...
The end result was exactly what I wanted. He did kind of work with me on the price. The tattoo itself took about 20 min or so. I was impressed by the his work...it's very clean lettering. I really like a "get down to business" type of artist & that's exactly what Tyler proved to be. Seeing pictures ...
This place is just great. Everyone is nice and helpful! I had Ralph as my artist and I m so glad I did because I m loving the artwork he gave me. The whole place looks, smells, and feels clean and sanitary (which is exactly what you want). I had clear and easy communications with TJ about scheduling...
These guys are professional, environment is clean, process was as smooth as could be. Great work guys. Thanks!
I had such a great experience here! I had done a lot of research to where I wanted to get my tattoo because I wanted a very specific style that I could not find locally. They did not disappoint! I had Jason do my tattoo and he is an amazing artist! It came out exactly how I wanted. Everyone made me ...
Professional and experienced, highly recommend first timers.
My first visit to Studio 28 was on February 15 2019. What an awesome experience.
I was greeted respectfully by TJ who was very
helpful in assisting me with the jewelry for my piercings. And, not only is Vicki a great!!!
piercer. She as well greeted me with respect.
And I was totally relaxed w...
As a 1st timer, I was far more petrified than I let on. Jason was awesome! PERIOD! I love my tattoo!!!!
Ralph Rosa has done amazing work for me! He s a true artist! Ralph is professional in the true sense of the word. He is considerate, compassionate, thoughtful and thorough.
The shop has a warm feeling to it. From the moment you entered the shop, you are received with a warm welcome by the won...
I'll start off by specifying that my tattoo was done by Courtney. She is totally rad and i'm so happy with my tattoo. I came in knowing exactly what I wanted. It was a logo and didn't leave much room for artistic interpretation, but she totally rocked it. The lines are so clean and the color is so r...
I urge EVERYONE to go to Studio 28 if they re looking to get a piercing. The studio has a beautiful aura, smells so fresh and clean, has beautiful jewelry, AMAZING staff which were so kind. They answered all of my questions, walked me through everything I needed to know, and just all around genuinel...
The guys at Studio 28 are literally the sweetest and funniest guys you'll ever meet. Full of passion and enthusiasm for what they do, along side total care for their customers! It was my first time getting my nose pierced so I was sort of terrified. The shop was super clean and a very comfortable pl...
From start to the finished tattoo, this place is the real deal! TJ is unbelievably friendly and accommodating. Rafael, who did the piece, made the design come to life in a way beyond my vision of the piece. I have gone here for several tattoos and will definitely be back for more! If you are loo...
Today I added to my body art collection with the wonderful Rafael Marte! He ROCKS and is super kind and very talented. Rafael was able to create my stunning tattoo in a short amount of time and was bang on with the outcome! I love my Sun and Laotion character tattoo.
Also if it weren't for TJ's wel...
There is a really great selection for piercings. The staff is pleasant and knowledgeable.
I went to Studio 28 to get fitted for a new nose ring. The staff were SO friendly and knowledgeable; Vicki, who sized up my gauge and changed my jewelry, was lovely and very professional. Great selection of jewelry too. I will absolutely be coming back here for any new piercings I get in the futur...
My friend and I went to get matching tattoos. When we got there we were welcomed Paul was our tattoo artist and was very friendly. He did an awesome job! I highly recommend this shop. Very clean atmosphere
Very beautiful interior design, super professional and smart staff. Amazing experience with my Hot-Dog tattoo.
Not too easy to find but once there you will be surprising.
Thank you all.
Outstanding shop with knowledgeable, personable staff!
Studio 28 Tattoo was fantastic. Everything was super clean and the process and any potential issues were well outlined in the waiver. Jason was great, and he managed to give me the tattoo of my dreams even though I hadn't conceptualized it fully when I arrived. The measures he took made the tattoo f...
10/10 would recommend Studio 28!! I had scheduled an appointment via email with TJ to set up a time to get my first tattoo. He set up an appointment with me quickly and was very responsive to any questions I had prior to my appointment. I went in yesterday and the experience exceeded my expectations...
Found this tattoo shop on the internet and based on the reviews I thought I would inquire further. I EMAILED the shop and not more then a couple hours later I received a reply from Tom. Scheduling with him was seamless. He then gave me Rafael s email to coordinate my piece. Again seamless!!! Rafael ...
Honestly can say that if there was more than 5 stars I would rate here the highest. The welcome feeling I had when I walked in was like no other places I've been to. The staff are friendly, energetic and passionate about their work which is always the best to hear. Thank you everyone for my wonderfu...
If you're looking for amazing customer service, skip this place guys. The staff here specializes in the gift of gab. They will tell you any and everything you want to hear when you're spending money, in order to get your money, but the moment there's an issue the real egoistic, condescending, patron...
I have had my first (four) tattoos and first (four) piercings done at Studio 28. All my experiences here have been equally professional as they were enjoyable. The staff at Studio 28 is some without a doubt, some of the friendliest people you can meet. They are open to talk and discuss any inquiries...
I had my first tattoo with Olivia at the studio and had a great experience. She was very professional and charming, made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. The staff here is very welcoming and cool, I would definitely come back again. Highly recommend studio 28.
I had an amazing experience at this tattoo parlor! It is extremely clean and well run. My tattoo artist helped me with my design and was very precise in his work. I am extremely happy with my new tattoo! Black and Blue Tattoo rocks!
I recommend calling for an appointment.
They did a fantastic job piercing my ear! They were very friendly and nice, and were tolerant with me and my friend being indecisive on which earrings to get. They were extremely helpful and was willing to answer any questions we had.
I took my daughter here to get her nose pierced. Everyone was very friendly, helpful, and professional.
The staff at Studio28 is superb. I've had 2 piercings done there, and Saylor, Kay, and TJ are some of the most professional individuals I have ever worked with. They took their time helping me pick out jewelry, decide on what I wanted, walk through the piercing and aftercare process, and make me fee...
Just got two tattoos in Studio 28, with Rafael! Just amazing, the shop is really clean, the guys too nice, and my tattoos... AWESOME!!!!
Thanks again (and again!!) I couldn't be most happy! no doubt, I'll be back (despite the 8 hours of plane to see you guys ^^)

My Tattoo Artist Rafael Marte was amazing. I had an idea of a tattoo (that I had in mind for a while) and he was able to print a it on a paper stencil. He also resized the stencil it to match a reference image. After that, he cleaned up my arm to make sure it was sterile and placed the stencil on my...
I had been debating a nose stud for a while and never really had anyone to go to. Through a google search and reading many great reviews I decided on Studio 28. I started with a few emails with some of my questions and concerns and the response I received was quick and informative. This made me f...
