Came in as a walk-in, for a bit of arm work and just loved the place. The environment and the time spent on decor and funky antique setting spoke highly of the care and energy they spend on details. While other ink joints are just a chair and some sketches on the wall, these guys have made a place you'd hang out in. I worked with Tina who was great. Their previous work was awesome, so I said this is my place. They are friendly, professional, and great tattoo artists. Made me feel comfortable, and the 2hrs in the chair went by in a flash, at a decent price too. I will definitely be back for more! Happy they are in Astoria! Read Less

The coolest tattoo shop I've ever been! The decoration is sooo cool, good music, easygoing atmosphere... The artists, Chris and Tina, are very talented! I have some friends who have been tattooed by them and I could see their variety of work... all amazing! I'm planning to get a tattoo soon with them! Read Less

I was disappointed with this shop. It may have been great back in the day but it is super run down, and unattended. I came in on a sunny day and you can see dust everywhere. There are 2 tattoo artists and both made me feel odd and were very unattentive. I have many tattoos and have experience in the process. I viewed their catalog and there are pieces where faces looked off (in portraits) and lines were shaky (especially with abstract). I thanked them and walked out. Read Less

This place has the friendliest atmosphere. Cristian made my tattoo come to life from a sketch I made. Cristian is an amazing artist, extremely professional, and accommodating. Cannot wait for my next tattoo. The perfect place for custom tattoos! ! Read Less

I just got a tattoo done by Tina yesterday & she is the absolute best! I came to her with the slightest clue of what I wanted & she really brought my idea to life! I will definitely be getting more work done by her! Read Less

Tina did an amazing job. I came in for myBirthday to get a tattoo of my mom's handwriting on my foot and could not be more pleased with her attention to detail. I am so pleased with my tattoo and so happy I chose this spot. Thank you, Tina! Read Less

What a great experience and a cool shop! We wanted to do something new & exciting for our 10 year anniversary and this crazy idea seemed to be it! It was something super simple and small and Tina was happy to help! She was super nice! The first thing you notice about the shop is the cool lighting. No crazy harsh lights! It was super easy going in there. They seemed to be super cool with the kids in there waiting as well. I have to say I think anne and I both felt a little cooler after leaving there. To celebrate our little rebellious adventure we down the block to Sweet Jane's ice cream shop and had a dark chocolate fudgestickle (think fudgesicle) with chocolate chips inside ($4). We heart Astoria.  Please ask for Tina and let her know that Raul and the family sent you. Thanks Tina!Check out our pix!4.1.16 Read Less

Cristian is a great artist and very professional, the shop is frendly and has the best energy. As my first tattoo experience couldn't feel much better. If you are confident and sure what tatto you want this is the place !! Read Less

Absolutely loved it. The place is designed so well and the artists are not only warm and welcoming, they're professional and take great pride in their work. I will continue to suggest Queens Ink to all of my friends who've shown interest. Read Less

I recently moved to queens and when I wanted my fourth tattoo, I wasn't going to drive all the way upstate to get it. I searched them in yelp and called them to see what their minimum was. It was reasonable and Tina, the tattoo artist, and I started emailing back and forth.I sent her the picture of what I wanted and when I went it, it was everything I wanted. Tina was patient and helped me figure out exactly where I wanted it. Most painful but best tattoo experience ever! Read Less

I really can't speak highly enough of this business and the people who work here.First and foremost, when you walk into Queens Ink, you feel like you've walked through a time warp.  The décor is like nothing you've ever seen in a tattoo parlor, and in all honesty, this is a GREAT thing.  All too often, tattoo parlors are adorned with "run of the mill" tattoos that are pre-designed, boring, and show ZERO talent by the artists.  What's the point?  Queens Ink is decorated with an old school, educated flair, without the arrogance of posting a million tattoo designs on the wall.  The old style barber chairs add character and oddly enough, walking into this place, I knew this is where I would be getting my next tattoo.The people....the only saying of "don't judge a book by it's cover" comes to mind.  Everyone in the shop is friendly, able to hold a conversation, and they are always in an upbeat mood.  I have been to other places in which I have felt the staff is rude and not attentive.  You will not have that issue here!Cristian is simply AMAZING.  I told him the two tattoos I wanted, and set up an appointment for the following night. When I came back, he had everything set up for me.  I got the word "faith" tattooed on my wrist and Cristian had what he felt were the best fonts.  Wow, I mean, just wow. Most places let you sit there and sift through 1,000,000 different fonts.  I went with one, and I could not be happier.  The second design went on the back of my neck and Cristian did a great job using the design I wanted and giving it a little flair.  Cristian's line work is the best I have (I have 8 tats and counting).  While leaving the shop, I took a look at Cristian's artwork.  Needless to say, I was impressed. It became clear that Cristian is a tattoo artist because he is truly an artist.I plan to have him design and tattoo a custom piece next month and I have high hopes and expectations that it will be fantastic.One last note, and something else that impressed me.  My friend joined me at the end tail end of the session to discuss a tattoo with Cristian that she wanted.  Cristian told her that he would not do the tat she wanted in the location she wanted because overtime, it would like terrible.  He told us that he has great pride in his work and would not do a tattoo that he knew would cause problems and not last.  This just showed that Cristian is not about the money, he's about the client and his reputation.  I highly recommend this place to anyone interested in getting a tattoo.
