Skin City Tattoo — Local services in Town of New Windsor

I went to Skin City to get my kids names on my wrists and I had a wonderful experience. I was given a book of lettering to look over and the tattooist discussed with me the best options that would look good given the place and size of the lettering. I finally chose a script and was immediately asked for ID. During the tattooing, I was given a lot of attention and before a needle ever touched me I was asked if I like the way it looked, to make sure the spelling was correct, and if I wanted any changes. Once we began I had an excellent conversation about children and literature and when done was given clear and explicit instructions on how to care for my tattoos, along with a hand out in case I forgot. Since I want another one that would be larger, I was told the fee is $125 an hour and have already made up my mind to go back there. I have received numerous compliments on the artwork and have recommended people...

Shane is the BEST!!! I had been planning to get a tattoo from Shane since Feb 2020 and with all the covid restrictions as well as many people in my family getting covid, Shane was great to work with. Very accommodating and understanding with my many requests to reschedule. I wanted a tattoo with my son's name in and underwater feel, with coral and underwater plants. This was the first tattoo where I gave the artist free artistic license with little guidance, so I was unsure what to expect. Well, when Shane showed me his design, I was in love! It was better than I could have imagined. Additionally, the shop was incredibly clean with an overall positive vibe. Great music too!! I highly recommend Shane and Skin City Tattoo! Can't wait to get back for...

Made an appointment November 19th for December 26th only to be rescheduled (by the artisr) last minute for February 6th only to receive an email at 10pm the night before that the artist "felt he wasn't the right artist for the job." Tried calling the store for at least some explanation as to what that meant but was just told to come get my deposit. The artist wouldn't even apologize to me on the phone. Cool. This place is pretty unprofessional and the guys there I guess think they belong on ink masters or L.A. Ink because they are very smug people who think it's a privilege to get a tattoo from them. Save your money and go somewhere else. You want cool people tattooing you, not smug a**holes who'll probably make fun of your tattoo...
