I went in yesterday for my septum piercing, and my friend got a small tattoo on her leg. Max (who pierced me, also the owner & tattoo artist) and Mike (who did her tat) were both super friendly and professional. The first time piercing, the jewelry was being fussy and wouldnt push through. I got a bit dizzy because I didnt eat and they were so accommodating- gave me water and candy to raise my sugar levels. Max repierced it, for FREE, and was genuinely sorry for the issue (although I could tell he was experienced, I have a very narrow nose and little space to work with). Mike also stood on the side of me to make sure I didnt fall over, and to assist Max. The tattoo my friend got was a little elephant with splashes of watercolor and it came out amazing, I was so jealous. The whole time we talked it felt like wed been going there for years. I will be back soon for some new tattoos :) Thanks guys! P.S- they play awesome music, and theres parking behind the building!

Hailing from Singapore, I was in New Jersey for a vacation trip and I wanted to get inked. After several research and reviews on tattoo parlors around the area, I chose to head down to Inklightened Tattoo & Piercing based on customer reviews via online. I got a traditional skull colored tattoo on my arm, it was done by one of the tattoo artist (Nathaly), and it’s an original art piece drawn by her. Im very impressed by the line works and color vibrancy when my tattoo is finished. Nathaly shows a great deal of professionalism in her work and furthermore, shes a great tattoo artist. I highly recommend anyone who wants to get inked to look for her. In addition, Inklightend has friendly staffs, clean working environment, superb artwork, and provides excellent tattoo services. I’ll be sure head back there to get another tattoo whenever Im back to visit!

I went to visit my family in the U.S a month ago in the state of New jersey, then decided to get a tattoo. As I did some research on Google around the area. I found Inklightened Tattoo to be the one with the best quality tattoo work and friendly good customer service. I called the shop and spoke with the Tattoo artist, Nathaly, who helped to make my tattoo as I planned it to be. She specializes in traditional tattoos, so she gave me her ideas and drew something that I was very happy with, the outcome was amazing. I love it. Im very happy with my tattoo. Also, the environment is really clean, very professional and would definitely recommend, reliable prices and great tattoos.

It was a super clean shop. Alec did a beautiful piece on my foot that was one of his custom designs - super clean and the lines are well-defined. Hes a quick artist with a lot of talent, but not sloppy - before I knew it, it was over! It was a very comfortable atmosphere to get a tattoo - very laidback, and Alec is good at making you feel comfortable, especially considering I was getting a tattoo on one of the most painful spots. Prices are great, the staff is very friendly, and Id highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to get piercings, tattoos, etc. Looking forward to getting more ink soon by Alec!

I dont usually write Google reviews but this tattoo and piercing shop is well deserving of one. Ive recently gotten two piercings from this shop and couldnt be any more happier than I already am. The staff is extremely professional and educated. Shop is clean and comfortable. Instructions on treatment are explained twice and everything is quick and fun. I have adopted this shop as my own for I will be returning for every piercing I get. Once I start my sleeve I will definitely be visiting them again. Thank you to both Max and Chang for making both experiences great!

I got my belly button and nose pierced here. The man is so nice and he even let me come in to change my ring because I wasnt able to, free of charge. It was very clean. The only concern that I had was whether or not the ball on my belly button and the stud piece on my nose ring was also surgical steel because my holes were a little dark. That might just be part of my healing process due to the fact that Im Black but Im not 100% sure. Other than that he was thorough and so nice and helpful!

I took a chance on going to this shop based on the positive reviews I read. I wanted to get a daith piercing. I went on a Sunday afternoon. The place was clean and welcoming...no loud music and a bunch of people just hanging around. Max was courteous, informative & professional. The process was painful but he was so smooth and reassuring, that I got a second one (the tragus). Their prices are reasonable. I highly recommend him and might even go back for another one soon.

Alec did a custom Lotus Flower and it turned out PERFECT!!! Way beyond my expectations it’s WILD!! I highly recommend him and the shop to everyone. They are straight forward on what can be done and what would look best, very detailed oriented. Excellent experience clean and organized shop; friendly staff, great and vastly experience artist; reasonably priced. You can’t ask for more in a shop. For my next piece will only go here. Love these guys!!

By far the best tattoo shop i have stepped foot in. It has a great positive environment, super clean, the tattoo artists are amazingly nice and enthusiastic, an experience truly unforgettable. Nathaly, one of the artists, is fantastic. She is so kind and works well with you, I felt so comfortable with her. She has a very soft touch and her creativity goes beyond expectations. I recommend this place to everyone and anyone, you wont regret it!

Just got my first ever tattoo done here today and I couldnt be happier! Everyone was so nice and friendly, it was really a great experience. Camilo did my tattoo and it looks so good! I showed it off to a few people already and they were simply amazed with the quality. Id recommend this shop to anyone and everyone that wants a tattoo done well. I definitely anticipate that Ill be back soon as well!

I was looking forward to get my second Tattoo. I spoke to the tattoo girl Nathaly. She showed me a lot of variety, so I decided to get a zodiac sign tattoo. She is so good and talented. I did not even feel pain even though I got a big and colorful tattoo. She was very professional. She keep everything clean and in place. I recommend this parlor. Very nice artwork.... :) happy customer

This place is so clean and an awesome environment. Max the owner is extremely friendly and takes his time with his work. You can tell he takes so much pride in everything he does and his shop. My tattoo came out amazing today and I look forward to getting the rest of my arm sleeve done by Max!
