This guy literally start added to a tattoo i absolutely love the way it was prior. they do not change out gloves when going out for smoke breaks, they just put back on the same ones, he talks to you like you know mother about tattoos but they can’t do a simple straight line without making it look awesome.

I have been a client for a very long time. However, my recent experience with Big Brad's Tattoos was terrible. I was injured by the hands of Brad. He drilled the needle too deep into my skin, down to the flesh and scarred my arm, while attempting to draw this hideous tattoo that Brad did which resulted in me having to recover with a Antibiotic Ointment and other skin treatments. I do not know what's going on with him mentally, but somebody needs to take the needles away from this angry man. As a result of his carelessness, I have a Permanent Scar. Therefore, As an Err of Caution, I would not recommend Big Brad'sTattoo's to anyone for obvious reasons. (Cuts and Bruises). And his Lack of professionalism And rudeness. Read Less

If there was zero stars I would give it.... when I called to ask how old you have to be to get a nose piercing, Brad gave a snarky aditude saying "Everyone in the world knows you have to be eighteen" I don't know what I did to piss this guy off so badly Read Less

Zacc is the man. He's the only person I trust to pierce me. He's been putting dermals on my body for years. He knows how to make adjustments and how best to work with the skin and hold them in place for lasting dermals. I've had scar tissue and fucked up skin he was able to work with like a boss.I mean the dude put dermals in his own face that have been there for years! Don't know much about the tattoos here but a friend of mine got a cute anchor by Big Brad on her hand that came out super clean so there's that.Highly recommend Zacc tho if you wanna get studded.

I just got a tattoo done by brad and I love the work he did on me, he was not rude he was a really cool guy, everyone in there was respectable and I do not have one complaint about this shop amazing price for a really nice size piece I give it 5 stars Read Less

I am so happy with Chris’s work. He added on to a piece I already had. This is just part 1 of what’s to come. I LOVE my tattoo! Thank you so much! Chris is very professional and personal at the same time. He made me feel so relaxed. The guys were so friendly I felt like I was hanging out. Read Less

I had a tattoo in mind for many years and spontaneously decided to walk in yesterday to get it done by Chris. I showed him some designs and explained to him what I wanted. Reasonable price. Good customer service. Did not experience the rudeness some people talk about on here. My tat took 3 hours and I was engaged in conversation with the artists the whole time. Good atmosphere. Good laughs. I totally recommend this place. They made me feel comfortable. Read Less

Last night I had a cover-up tattoo by Christopher! He covered an infinity symbol with the most beautiful rose!!! He is amazing, talented, and just a plain fun guy! I felt like I'd known him 4-ever. There are 2 more I want, and I only want Christopher to do them. Read Less

0 STARS. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. The owner is extremely rude and unprofessional, he cursed out my family & darted at us like he wanted to get physical in front of ABOUT 4 of his customers. Completely disrespected both of us. Would you want your family around a violent old man? Do yourselves a favor and drive the extra 6 minutes for some respect. By the way, 5 stars go out to the South River Police that helped us out so easily and fast with this unfortunate matter.Read Less

Great place &a wonderful workers. I got 2 tattoos from brads and my mom got one too. They all look fantastic and I couldn't have asked for more , very pleased with my tattoos .. won't be going anywhere else for the other ones I want. Brad was extremly nice to both me my mom and my cousin. All around I give 5 stars .. would give more if I could ! Read Less

If I could give this place 0 stars I would.. Let's start off. RUDE! I went in to get my wedding ring tattoo covered. Which happens to be an anchor. One guy said "it doesn't look like a ring just leave it its fine" the other guy "can't cover it its too small maybe we can make it a tribal" yeah a tribal what is this 96? I had a suggestion of a blacked out pineapple to cover it they said it wasn't possible. I argued with them and said "my ex and I have matching tattoos on our fingers and we even included it in our wedding, I don't want it it makes me upset". They refused to do it so I went to a really talented shop in milltown nj who can actually tattoo, think, draw and most of all being human beings. I advise you to skip this trashy dingey place and go to a more reputable shop.. Read Less

Unfortunately you couldn't pay me enough to go back to this establishment. What was suppose to be an extremely memorable day, was destroyed by Big Brad himself. I've never met a more miserable person in my life and who is extremely rude (as if he was being bothered because he had to work). He had the personality that was the size of a flea and when I had tried to converse with him, to break up the silence, his replies were sarcastic and condescending!As for his workmanship, I am not happy at all, since the outlining looks like a preschooler had done itť! Never Again!!! Read Less

Do NOT get anything pierced here. i got my nose pierced here and immediately i was bleeding for over an hour. The next night, I woke up in the middle of the night with  my nose bleeding for 3 HOURS and it did not stop. Keep in mind I never had a nose bleed before. I ended up in the hospital and a doctor had to remove my piercing. Turns out, at Big Brads they had pierced my nose wrong. With too big of a needle and the wrong size equipment. Big Brads messed up my nose and did a terrible job. If i could rate this place 0 starts i would. Read Less

I would give it 3 stars based on several years ago I have 2 tattoos that I got at this shop and plan on after 20 years to get another I've looked into other places but my tattoo still looks fabulous no fading so I think I'm going back. I had no problems back then actually during my second tattoo I almost passed out and Brad was very nice and gave me water and yet cloth to put on my head. Read Less

I have many tattoos all done by Big Brad it is the only place I will go in the past 20 years I love all my tattoos l was just there again and I am going to keep going back thank you for all the awesome work Read Less

I got a tattoo done here in 2006 ...I ended up adding to it in 2013..they totally ripped me off...$120 for 3 small flowers on my ankle that took about 15 minutes..of course I didn't know it at the time I was 18 years old and didn't do my research apparently so that's partially my fault. But I like honesty especially while getting a tattoo and this shop wasn't honest with their pricing Read Less

Currently, I am getting a tattoo REDONE after getting it done at Big Brad's. Whoever did the tattoo (I can't remember his name), rushed so much that he forgot to connect lines in the MUSICAL STAFF of my tattoo. He covered it before I could get a real look and basically told me the whole thing looked okay. It wasn't Big Brad himself because he wasn't there. But this was one of his goons and he did a terrible job. Never again will I get a tattoo from this establishment... EVER. Read Less

TERRIBLE SERVICE. My friend and I decided to get very simple little red hearts inside our finger (something any tattoo artist should be able to do with their eyes closed) and Brad did them himself. He is a very awkward and rude man, surprisingly since he runs a business. Mine was originally messed up and looked like a blob rather than a heart and he said he would fix it once it healed. Once it healed about a week later, the tattoo was barely there on both my friend and I. We... went back to Brad and he said he wasn't surprised because they're on the inside of the finger but never had told us that before we got them. He said he would touch them up, but we didn't see the sense at that point and kindly asked for a refund. He then proceeded to rudely tell us to get out of his shop and held the door open for us to leave without a touch up or any money back and with our shitty tattoos that we paid $60 for AND we tipped him nicely. Although, I did get my belly button pierced too by Zack and he was very nice and did a great job. See More Read Less
