I had an incredible 2-day experience getting a true work of art designed and flawlessly tattooed by the talented Pawel Indulski (@pawelindulski). I couldn't be happier with my time at Bang Bang, and I’m already looking forward to collaborating with Pawel again!
Pawel is an extraordinary artist, and his talent shines through not only in his work but also in his approach and demeanor.
Design Process: Pawel was incredibly patient as I navigated my indecision and vague ideas about the tattoo. Despite my lack of artistic vision, he thoughtfully sought my feedback while sketching and continuously refined the design. He went above and beyond, taking extra time between sessions to brainstorm and suggest new elements that enhanced the design even further. I was thoroughly impressed by his dedication and creativity. Rather than simply settling on the design I had initially approved, Pawel chose to keep working after hours to bring even more possibilities to the table, which far exceeded my expectations. His thoughtfulness and passion for his craft are truly unmatched!
Tattoo Session: Throughout the tattooing process, Pawel was incredibly considerate of my comfort and pain levels. He made sure to take regular breaks, which I really appreciated. He kept me at ease throughout the entire process, offering to let me change positions whenever necessary. He also took the time to explain each step of the process, from the outlines to the shading and highlights, and was more than happy to answer my questions along the way. We had some great conversations, but I also enjoyed listening to music and respecting his focus when we weren't talking.
Pawel’s expertise and confidence with his machine were evident from the start, and I’m happy to report that my healing process is going smoothly, a true testament to his skill and precision. Despite working on this large piece for hours, he maintained focus and control throughout, ensuring every line and detail was perfect without any mishaps.
Atmosphere: The studio itself was immaculate, and I was impressed by the thoughtful amenities they provided. The lounge area downstairs was stocked with a variety of snacks and drinks, making it easy to stay energized during the long sessions. I didn't have to worry about bringing anything myself as the space was well-stocked and comfortable.
The front desk staff were friendly and attentive, answering all of my questions warmly and professionally. Despite being one of the top tattoo studios in the industry, Bang Bang maintains a humble and welcoming atmosphere. I never once felt out of place or judged; the whole experience was collaborative and supportive.
Overall, this was an unforgettable experience, and I’m beyond thrilled with the artwork that Pawel created. I can’t wait to work...
Read moreIncredible 5 Star Experience @ Bang Bang NYC! First, I have been a fan of Bang Bang Studio for many many years, following all the artists and just in awe of the artist and work that comes out of this studio. About 6 months ago I knew I was going to NYC for a couple days to see Othello on broadway, shop, sight see, etc (I love NYC), I reached out to Bang Bang to see if there was a chance I would be able to get in during my extremely tight schedule, the customer service and management were delighted to talk with me and discuss my idea, travel plans, etc and immediately made me feel at ease and I was booked. I'm a fan of many of the artists at BB, and would of been comfortable booking with any of them, but I was incredibly pleased to be matched with ZEE! I fly in from Detroit, and as soon as I entered the doors of BB all of my nervousness turned into calm and peace as I knew I was in the right hands, from the friendly front desk staff to the assistants and artists, everyone was so nice and just an absolute pleasure to interact with. The studio itself is a beautiful piece of art full of minimalism and thoughtful design layered in stone, glass and steel wrapped in monochromatic palette, the plants and fish are a nice touch and the sounds and smells are a vibe, you can just tell the amount of thought put into this property and understand why there is nothing else like it, it's special. Now, none of that would matter if the art itself is not next level, and the quality that is coming out of this studio is just that, such a carefully curated stable of technically precise artists of vast disciplines that you can feel that they feed off of each others talents, and again everyone is so nice and kind which is a breath of fresh air. Now to show ZEE some love, what an incredible human, so talented and detailed, I couldn't have wished for a better experience, the care, precision and hospitality that he showed me for the 8 hours we spent together on a rainy Saturday might of been a normal day at the office for him but was extraordinary for me. I thank everyone @ Bang Bang NYC and cannot wait to come back for...
Read moreLots of good reviews here, so lets mix it up. I think that this place is a money trap for tourists and people who have too much money to spend. I wanted to come here due to the celeb rep it has and to treat myself for my bday. I spent 8hrs here (was told it would be 4), and was treated like a piece of meat with money. My artist barely talked to me for the whole 8hrs and when I would ask him questions he would literally be cold back to me. Like who is paying who? The tattoo came out great, but I felt like I had little input and was not allowed to ask questions about the design. I dropped $2k on this medium size piece for the worst customer experience I had in a long time. Sure there are snacks, but thats minor compared to your prices. If you are wanting the red carpet treatment here, your probably not going to get it unless your JLo or something. Im from the streets so 2k aint cheap for me. All these guys are decked out in Balenciaga, giving a lot of we are better than you vibes, which I don’t appreciate tbh cuz baby no you aint, your personalities be dry as heck. REALLY WEIRD but there are a ton of mosquitos in that studio due to their aquariums. I was eatten by mosquitos my whole session and when i moved my artist scolded me. Well bro, you try staying still for 8hrs while your body is getting bitten up. I left with like 7 mosquito bites all over me. Overall, explore the other talent NYC has to offer, cuz you might save yourself a grand and have a much friendlier experience. Dont come at me now 🙌 Im going to speak my truth after paying...
