Me and my sister came to Kyle spriggs for our first tattoos. I'm so glad I picked this place and him. Our experience was amazing! Kyle was very nice he made any changes we wanted and worked with us to make sure the tattoo was exactly how we wanted it. I would definitely recommend going to Kyle! Amazing artist and amazing shop! Will definitely be back for my other tattoos in the future! Read Less

Sprigg is one of the best artists around. I have no experience with anyone else from the shop but based on his professionalism and skill with tattooing I have no doubt in my mind that everyone else is just as good. Nothing but good vibes in the shop, everyone is friendly and professional and I would go back again and again for more tattoos! Read Less

My tattoo artist, Sean, was fantastic and I love the work he did. He was efficient, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. The only reason this is 4 stars and not 5 is that some of the receptionists would rather not give you the time of day. But that's a pretty minor inconvenience in the experience as a whole. (Pics from about 2 hrs after the tattoo was finished - hence the redness and such) Read Less

Went to get tattoos for me & wife. Tommy was awesome, funny, and knew what we wanted before we were even sure. We scheduled an appointment, gave him a vague idea of what we wanted, and when we showed for our appointment he had drawn up sketches of what he felt was "right." He was spot on. See for yourself!

Clean parlor and everyone is always so nice. Sean has been wonderful, and has done 2 of my tattoos. I will go to him again for my next upcoming ones. Great work, I get compliments all the time on the pieces he has done. Read Less

Best tattoo place I've ever been too. All of the staff were super friendly and very welcoming. Kyle is officially my tattoo artist for life. He did an amazing job covering up a previous tattoo. Best tattoo place to go to! Read Less

I've been here multiple times and have had nothing but amazing experiences. I have 2 tattoos done by spriggz and will most definitely be back for more. Extremely friendly and professional. Spriggz does some truly amazing work Read Less

Me and 4 other friends went in to get matching tattoos spontaneously today and cassie at the front desk was so helpful. We had such a great experience and loved Tommy. We got small tiny ones and paid the $60 minimum each and was super helpful! Had such a good experience Read Less

This is a wonderful shop, cleanliness up to par, great conversation, good vibes and music. Most importantly awesome tattoos! Tommy did my husband and mine tattoo and they both came out beautiful. He's a really cool artist and his skills are amazing. No wait, we didn't make any appt we were in and out.I highly recommend!!I forgot to mention Tommy is very thorough he will let you know exactly what to expect, answer any questions you may have and give precise instructions how to care for your new piece of art.

I have a tattoo on my hand of a woman and her legs came down my middle and ring fingers.  First I had Chris Reynolds cover up the hand with thurs hammer but I still had the feet on my fingers.  They were able to laser them off in three sessions.  They  were pretty light but I'm still super happy to have them undetectable.

New Skin Tattoo at Shocker is....incredible. Simply put. Cassie is the sweetest, most helpful, and caring person to help you get a tattoo removed! She will explain the whole process and really take care of you while you're there! If you have a tattoo that needs to be gone, She's your girl! Read Less

Very clean and friendly. I had 2 piercings done a snug and a rook. Their price says 60$ with earring... I guess I got a 20$ discount. That's a plus. I felt very comfortable.Allison is nice a was very nice. This is a A+ establishment in my eyes. Thank you! Read Less

Whether you want custom work or a flash tattoo, Shocker is the spot. Ive only had experience with shops in nyc, so when I came in, I couldn't believe the owner I was sitting there in between cuts, he owns the historical barbershop down the street, Patsy's. We chatted like we rode big wheels when we were young. I was really curious how they did business. This guy William Yaeger gave me a tour and the full dog and pony show! I was really impressed. The cleanliness is tremendous. These people really care about the process start to finish and do unbelievable work. I will be sending all my friends and family to see these guys for ink. Read Less

The owner, William Yager, is about as professional as you can get.  He greeted myself and my fiance, told us about the shop, his own barber shop.  He was fantastic!  And he made sure my needs were met going above and beyond.  The shop has a retro vibe, which was terrific.  It was clean and they even have a receptionist.  You don't have to look for an artist who is not currently tattooing like in so many other shops.  As an added bonus, they have books (portfolios) of their artists, right in the lobby, which I think is fantastic.The two male artists were talking about new colors, new designs, and seemed passionate about their work.  I could recommend this shop to anyone without reservation.Just be careful to park on the street.  If you park at Dunkin' Donuts, the owner was kind enough to tell us they'll tow immediately saving us a lot of money.  5 stars!

The girls in the front were super nice!!We all love our tattoos! Will def go back next time i go to Albany. Thanks shocker for a great experience! Read Less

So, I wanted to get a facial dermal piercing, but I was really nervous and hesitant. My good friend recommended Cracker at Shocker Tattoo, and I'm so grateful he did! The entire experience was easy, quick, and fun. Cracker was welcoming and funny, and really helpful. The piercing took 2 minutes, and was relatively painless. My dermal is perfectly placed, and healed nicely. I definitely recommend Cracker if you're looking for quality piercings!! Read Less

Shocker Tattoo is amazing. Professional and friendly staff, who know what they are doing. They are true artists. The shop is very nice on the inside, and very clean.
