I was assisted by John Alonzo, at the studio, in finding the right art match to get for my tattoo - and he compiled a design in under a day, for what Ive sought after for almost a decade, trying to privately design. After agreeing that week, he led me to Syxx, a resident tattoo artist in the studio, and using state of the art technology he was able to administer the tattoo with incredible precision. The job was not remotely as painful as my original tattoo (which was the same flesh, opposite side, done by an outside individual almost ten years ago) - and I am content in having them even expand my piece further soon, and work on additional tattoos in the near future. The staff is very helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable. The piece I had done was five times bigger than my original piece, but only a quarter as painful, and the articulate designs were done with expert skill - ensuring less repeat strokes, and practically no touch up required. The healing technology employed was unique. If you have been to conventions recently you might have seen this new porous material they use on burn victims, being employed in tattoo healing. With this technology I was healed Fully within four days. The only care I had to apply, was changing the material after 24 hours. Afterwards, to be safe, albeit it was healed, I used some cream for a couple of days, and these cool slap ons called "Wild Willy`s Tattoo Wipes" The environment is really relaxing, they have a cafe, and all sorts of nights that go on there, like comedy and music shows. Drinks and food is fantastic, really nice cafe staff. Being a graphic artist, I have mingled with a variety of different tattoo artists from around the world, and even some hot shots like Paul Booth, and I can say with full confidence that these folk at Wyld Chyld have some of the biggest talent on this side of the globe.

My friends and I decided to get tattoos to celebrate our friends birthday. We researched a few different places, we specifically were looking for places that already had very high reviews. Wyld Chyld had great reviews and excellent pricing so we decided to stop by. Typically, a lot of tattoo shops require appointments and even though they were busy they still told us to come in. I decided to get a tattoo and nose piercing. I did the piercing first. Dan the piercing man is the shops piercer. Dan was terrific, he was very knowledgeable about piercings. I was a little nervous but he reassured me. Dan was so swift with doing the piercing, I didnt even know he had done it. If I ever decide to get another piercing, I would definitely get Dan to do it. Chewy was our tattoo artist. She was very patient especially since this was a first tattoo for each of us. She had drawings around her area so that let me know that she could draw a tattoo design if a person needed it. Wyld Chyld was very clean and the staff was very nice. We had such a positive experience we all would definitely come back.

After much contemplation I decided upon a tattoo and with more contemplation I decided on this tattoo shop because my friend has amazing tattoos that are very detailed. I called this shop was given short answers and decided to drive forty minutes over and see what could be done. After I walked in I told them I wanted a small detailed tattoo. He said he would be over shortly. After an hour and half I walked over and he then asked me what I wanted, when I explained he said no thats not possible under your bra strap it will fade (I know) it will mush together how small you want (not really my friend has had her tattoo there for years and it hasnt.) He also wasnt willing to look at my design or font. He was very adamant to change it altogether this was a complete turn off and a waste of my time and gas. Will never go back or recommend this place.

Let me start off by saying Oscar Capote is the man! I originally rated Wyld Chyld in pure anger because this artist there Chris Carp did a rigid job on a piece I got for my birthday and didnt even bother considering the placement I wanted for it. But, Oscar gladly fixed another artists mistake without the bat of an eye and even stayed in the shop and extra 3 hours after closing to finish the first session. Theres a difference between a artist like Chris and Oscar. Oscar was a sweet heart to me showed me that he took pride in not only his work, but his morals and satisfaction of his customers. I will forever recommend Oscar to my friends and Family, seriously. You dont see many artists that arent trying to get you in and out to simply get payed.

Waited an hour just to get my nose pierced. One of the front desk girls arent helpful at all. Called earlier in the day to make an appt with a specific piercer, just got short one word "mhm" and "yep" answers. Said I could just walk in, giving me no further info. She also had a person who came in after me, go before me.. Since they make you pay when you get in the door, I couldnt leave. Sorry, Im not a usual. All the stars for Dan the piercing man though! Super sweet and made my first piercing completely painless.

I went to Wyld Chyld Tattoo this July 2017 to get a nose piercing. Dan the Piercing Man was absolutely fabulous. He too his time and explain everything that you needed to know about the piercing. Furthermore, I thought that a nose piercing will hurt like hell but NOPE. Dan was gentle and it was over in a split second. For anyone that is looking to get any type of piercing, go directly to Wyld Chyld Tattoo and see Dan the Piercing Man. You will not regret it. Thank you Dan, love my piercing. Nicky

Came to get my second cartilage piercing, had Brandon. He was very understanding and even though I have had piercings done elsewhere he still went over the care instructions. There was a bit of a wait because I was a walk in, but it wasnt more than 20 minutes. Did an excellent job at piercing and it is healing very nicely. (If youre going to get a piercing, the H2Ocean piercing spray has helped me previously and id helping now to heal properly)

Allen kopp both designed and executed a half sleeve for my right arm. He exemplified mastery and efficiency I believe I wont find with any other artist. He is extremely respectful and Punctual, utilizing sanitary procedures and demonstrating great time management. Price quote was very reasonable. The shop itself is very comfortable and clean. Everyone was very nice. I rate it 5/5. Thank you Allen!

i went to wyld chyld for my first and second tattoos, and the service was really great. my artist really helped me plan out my tattoo and she sketched it out for me personally. they were professional and laid back at the same time, it was a great atmosphere and i have been very happy with the tattoos i got there. for my future tattoos i will most likely return to them too, unless i move out of NY!

I got a tattoo here from the owner and the service was excellent. The owner made me feel very comfortable and welcomed. My session lasted about 3 hours and when it was done I absolutely loved my new tattoo. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get a tattoo or piercing. The staff is very friendly and they make you feel at home. Thanks wyld chyld!
