While the tattoo on my foot is good and I am happy with it, my arm tattoo and shoulder (both decent size pieces are horrible). I have been a long time customer- almost 6 years and I am now looking for a new artist at a new location. Let me start with my arm was created with names and Ive added on as my family grew. The roses I drew up were shaded horribly which is really hard to change. The outline looked good and after the shading was done- my jaw dropped. It looks nothing like the picture and Im very upset. There is too many vines, things are not shaded right, lines are un-even and not symmetrical. Again I have had some good experiences so I went to the manager and owner Khary. He looked at the rose I DREW and worked on it- again after 2 sessions it did not come out good. Dark outlines, no shading but what the guy before had done. It looked even more "cartoonish", now I dont even know what to do with this. I went in again for now my 8th session on what is a very simple piece. Names, vines and 2 roses. And he wanted to book atleast 3 more sessions in order to complete this. All I needed was shading done properly and less vines (cover with more roses). He told me he would not be able to add roses over fine lined vines to cover them. He also told me as well as his secretary that I would have work done today on it. I drove 30 mins. to be told ill draw it up and we can schedule 2 more times. I feel like he cares a lot about money- less about customer service. It sucks but I will no longer go there. I will be taking my loyalty to another artist. Id rather spend a bit more money and have it done right, then spend (so far, about $700) on a tattoo that I could of easily had it finished before I hit $400. I guess this is what happens when you deal with someone who is all about MONEY.

I looked at reviews from all the top tattoo places in Rochester. All of them were basically the same with people saying that they loved their tattoo and would never go anywhere else. I decided to go to Living Color off the recommendation of a friend who told me to go there. I had never gotten a tattoo before and didnt realize that its not really the place you go too but the artist who does it. I got an estimate from Buddy, an artist there, and it was about 90$ less than what I expected and he came in on his day off to do it. The tattoo I wanted to get was a simple tribal tiger on my back. Buddy was a super nice guy, didnt talk much, but you could tell that he genuinely loved the art and loved what he did. The atmosphere was really relaxed and all the other artists were interested in what was going on. After Buddy finished I looked in the mirror and at first I was shocked because it didnt look like what I wanted. He made it way better! He added his own shading and it looks sick! I would recommend Buddy to anyone who wants to get a tattoo, whether its their first or tenth.

This maybe a good tattoo shop but the attitude they show is just nasty ..me and my wife went in today to schedule a appointment with our 3 year old soon as we walked in the door the girl behind the counter says no kids okay cool but at least give us a chance to say what it is were doing ..then on top of that after my wife says we was just here to make a appointment she says we didnt want her touching anything witch really pissed us both off being hes a boy ..but overall we are both grown people no need to argue with people who clearly isnt interested in our monies..so we will do just that take our Monies elsewhere ..like with anything your attitude will be the downfall not just them anyone whos running a business

I got my first tattoo here and have been going back ever since. The artists are all so friendly in a very calm way that allows you to relax while you are having your work done- Ive had two different artists here, and both talked me all the way through the tattoo so I didnt have to focus on the pain. I even took a friend of mine here for their first tattoo, and fully intend to take at least one other friend here when she is ready for her first. The art itself was great quality, too, and I received more than adequate instructions on caring for it afterward. I will definitely be giving Living Color my business for as long as I live in the area.

I have gotten several tattoos from this tattoo studio in rochester new york. The work has always been phenomenal. Buddy 1 of their tattoo artist has done Some very awesome tattoos on me. When I first came there I was a little bit nervous but he made sure that I felt comfortable and at ease. Buddy and the studio has exceeded my expectations time and again and Im going on my ninth tattoo there. Buddy is an awesome asset for the company and um that is why I keep coming back to them. You can see 1 of my eagle tattoos on his profile in their website. The work speaks for itself.

My wife and I went to get our daughters name tattooed. We had no appointment and it was my wifes first time getting a tattoo. The took us right in and did not complain that we had our daughter with us. The staff was so friendly and reassuring to my wife. The shop is super clean, and the artist who did our tattoos was so nice and non judgmental. I would HIGHLY recommend this Tattoo shop to Anyone! This is the only place I will go to get inked for now on! Thanks so much! A++++ 5 Stars Sarah and Jon

Amber did my triple helix and did not seem very confident. For good reason apparently. She put in earrings that were too small, causing my skin to grow over them, resulting in me pushing the earrings back through and a whole lot of pain. She did not seem like she knew what she was doing any of the 3 times I went in. Its been 2 months since I got them done, and despite doing everything she told me to take care of them, they are still sore and bleeding. Do not go here for piercings.

I had a great experience getting my piercings. I booked an appt, had to call same day to cancel and reschedule, they did it no problem. The shop is clean and all the materials were sterile. Everyone was friendly and professional. All my questions were answered and I feel happy with my new piercings! Great shop that I highly recommend for piercings!

Erica does not know how to tattoo at all. I went to her because she got some pretty good reviews and I liked her work. All I wanted was 3 small triangles... none of them are proportionate and the lines arent even straight. Now I have to spend more money somewhere else to have it fixed.

Please DO NOT go here. I got three tattoos at once and at first I was impressed with the way they looked but the following days I realized that the ink bled underneath the skin (tattoo blowout) on all three. If I could go back and get them somewhere else I wouldve.
