1st tattoo at Anchor (#6 overall).  Anchor will be my shop now unless I get some travel ink.  Super friendly, clean, professional and talented artists.  Couldn't be happier.  Highly recommended.  Erik did an amazing job. Read Less

The Anchor Tattoo shop is located directly above Spark which is a hair salon if I remember correctly. They also have an ATM down there which you will need in case. you forget to bring cash. Yes, Anchor Tattoo is cash only. Just in case Spark closes there is another ATM in the convinience store which is a few. buildings over and not really a serious walk. Anyway, the guys over at Anchor are super professional and all do a great job. If you wan to know their specialty... I'd have to say they specialize in traditional tattoos. I haven't seen any geometric or water color stuff in. any of their. portfolio stuff. I know those kind of tattoos are extremely popular as of late, so if you are looking for something like that, Anchor Tattoo may not be the place for you. Anway I got some lettering done and it came oit awesome. Pretty much perfect. I couldn't be happier. I will attach a pic to this review, so you can check it out. Read Less

Incredible work, I've been tattooed by almost everyone here and they have such a friendly and professional atmosphere. If you're looking for a great tattoo from a clean, friendly and talented artist, come to Anchor. Read Less

Got my first tattoo here and absolutely in love with how it came out! The place was super nice and clean and they had me in and out within 30 minutes and I was a walk in. The tattoo artists are all super friendly and make you feel comfortable which is a plus because I was super nervous. I found myself laughing the whole time I was here. They work with you and make sure the placement and stencil is exactly how you want it. It was a painless experience and I would definitely come back here for another tattoo :) Rob did an awesome job with my tattoo Read Less

If you don't want to read my long review, this is my overview: If you're new to tattoos, I wouldn't recommend. I feel like I overpaid and wasn't given good advice on my tattoo. I came here a little over a year ago. The staff that greeted me when I walked in was very friendly. I asked them about the possibility of getting a tattoo on the bottom of my foot. The man I talked to told me that he was unsure of whether or not it would heal correctly, but that he had done them in the past and would happily do mine. I came back the next week for my appointment and went through the process. The shop minimum was $60, but my 4 inch tattoo came out to $80 instead. Along with tip, $100 was paid, and I walked out excited about my tattoo. Today, the tattoo is faded in every way, but I understand now that it was probably not very smart to get one on the bottom of my foot. I talked to another tattoo artist who said, "I can't believe a tattoo artist would do this for you. He had to have known it would fade." I feel like they took advantage of me being a college student who picked the first shop she saw, and they probably do it to many college students around here. In the future I would definitely compare prices with other shops, but I would possibly go back there considering the tattoo artists know their stuff. Read Less

I had some work done by Erik and he was great. Walked in, explained to him what I wanted to get done and even though it was on a bony area, it was painless. I was in and out quickly despite having quite a few people being worked on when I arrived. The guys working there were great and very welcoming. The hardest thing was keeping still and not laughing at the jokes they kept cracking to one another. Tattoo healed up quickly, without any complications and was exactly what I wanted. This place is little pricey, but it's a bright space and I felt comfortable there. I got good vibes and a perfect tattoo! Would recommend. Read Less

I came to Anchor to get a family tattoo- meaning my sister, mom and dad all got tatted together! Tim did my rib/back tattoo and it was seriously painless. This was second tattoo so I wasn't as nervous, but the rest of my family was, and they were so nice and accommodating in making sure the mock ups were exactly what we wanted before getting started. They were extremely sanitary and talked to us about everything from music to jobs to our love of Rutgers through the entire thing. I wish we could have hung out with them for longer! We even all did a whiskey shot afterwards with them. I would definitely recommend Anchor Tattoo to anyone looking to get some new ink! Read Less

Amazing, an easy 5 stars! I was tattooed by Mike. He was extremely nice and both of the artists that were in the shop were extremely professional and were very honest and nice guys. It is nice coming to a shop where people don't fight over clients. Absolutely could not be a better experience, can't wait to go back for my next one. Read Less
