I have gotten multiple tattoos from Pat, who is one of the nicest tattoo artists I have ever met. He does fantastic work and has amazing creative vision. His versatility and use of color is truly outstanding. I have gotten tattoos from multiple artists, but he is by far my favorite one to work with. As a whole, the shop is great. It has a beautiful, old-fashioned layout. I frequently chat with the other artists (Paul and Shawn) and piercer (Dan) in the ship who are also very nice and make the whole experience always fantastic. This is by far the best shop I've been to in the almost 10 years I've been getting tattoos done. I could not recommend them enough. Read Less

I just had my third tat done by Paul. He has always been very professional. He will answer any questions you have to help you be more at ease. I gave him ideas of the tats that I wanted to get and he came up with great designs that I loved. The ones I had done a couple of years ago still look as great as when they were done.The entire staff are all easy going and nice.they talk and joke around. The place is very clean and when they get ready to start you can see how everything is sterile.I would recommend them to anyone that wants to get a tat or a piercing. Read Less

I personally got 3 tattoos done here by Paul Flatfish. He is welcoming and skilled at what he does. Throughout the process, he will provide you with instructions on what to do and how to heal your tattoo properly.Overall, the place is really cool and there are a lot of example illustrations, tattoo designs, and piercing models.If you're getting a tattoo, I would recommend getting a lot of rest, eating something beforehand, and being mentally prepared. I don't have the greatest pain tolerance so getting a tattoo physically demands quite a bit of stamina and mental fortitude, at least for me. It helps to bring a friend or two for support as well.

Dan did an amazing job with my eyebrow piercing. I ran about 10-15 minutes late thanks to bus delays and Dan was still extremely accommodating and understanding and took me reguardless. It was a little more expensive than my last piercing, but definitly a fair price for the cleanliness and professionalism of the shop. Hands down, definitly the best place to get a piercing in the Tripple Cities area. Read Less

The Shaman's Den is the only place I would go in Binghamton, NY for a piercing of any kind. Dan Kincer is an excellent piercer, does wonderful education, and has a clean and sterile field every time he pierces. I also like how super easy it is to get an appointment scheduled to have a piercing. On Shamans Den website, you simply click on Piercing Appointment and find an opening. The type of piercing determines the time slot needed. Most piercings are about 30 minutes. Read Less

Such nice staff, very very clean and calm environment, and incredibly talented artists. I would trust no one else for piercings or tattoos. Everyone i have asked where I should go for my first tattoo, they all said Shaman's Den. Even my brother has told me he wouldn't trust anyone else especially when it comes to tattoos. Read Less

I cannot fully express my gratitude to Dan, his shop and his employees. They immediately made me feel at ease & welcome in the shop. When I met Dan, he was courteous, informative and really listened to what I wanted and hoped for out of this experience. He is so calming to be around, and quelled all of the anxieties that I have found many piercing shops to stir up (a result of my own lack of knowledge with choices before) The entire process was easy, informative and completely fun to go through. If you are hesitant to make an apt someplace, just go ahead and do it here. You won't regret it. Read Less

I got my septum pierced today and I love it! Dan was everything a piercer should be! Clean professional place and I'll forever recommend this place to all of my friends! I can't wait to come back for more!! Read Less

This is the only place I would recommend going to for tattoos and piercings. Every artist is not only talented, but also knows what they are doing and do it right. This is a high end shop that you should go to if you are looking for a high quality tattoo or piercing. Book time as soon as you think you want it because they are usually booked up pretty far in advance. Read Less

They boast that they are the "best" tattoo shop in Binghamton but they have the worst customer service. I went in to buy new jewelry for my labret and was totally ignored by shop staff. Super pretentious vibe as well. Read Less

Got my first tattoo here in April which was done by Paul. He was very nice and reassuring throughout the whole process! He always explained to me what he was doing with each step. The place is super clean and comfortable. Great experience for a first tatt. Definitely recommend! Read Less

Daniel is the absolute master of the piercing arts. I would recommend him to everyone for an artistically beautiful and skillful placement, with supportive advice throughout the piercing process, and detailed aftercare instructions. My recent nostril piercing was an easy & fascinating procedure, and I love the result so much! I feel secure knowing I'm always in the best hands when I consult with Daniel. Thank you once again for your craftsmanship. Read Less

Fantastic work! Paul is great, as are they all, but he has been working on me for three years and I'm never disappointed. The shop is clean, safe, and run with integrity. High quality work and jewelry. The selection of jewelry is large and original too! Read Less

I've had a couple experiences getting pierced by Daniel and I could not be more pleased. Friendly, clean, knowledgeable, and professional. He not only made it a comfortable and easy experience, but also seems genuinely grateful to those who patronize his business. The end result came out perfectly; the piercings he performed were exactly how I wanted. The shop is clean and interesting. Every time I've been there, all the tattoo artists are busy and creating beautiful pieces. All seem to have a positive attitude. All around fantastic experience, would definitely recommend. Also, there is a beautiful and diverse selection of jewelry... I couldn't help but to leave with a pair of Maya earrings. I drive about 3 hours to get there, and I've made the trip on a few occasions. I'd easily make the drive any day for a quality piercing or tattoo. Read Less

I've only been here for piercings so I can really only comment on my experience with Dan. That being said, he's top notch of anyone who's done piercings for me. The operative word is meticulous. I've been in twice now for a total of 5 piercings and both times involved a couple that needed to be lined up and symmetrical. Dan definitely takes his time with tasks like this and strives for perfection. Basically this is where you should be going if you're anywhere even remotely close to Binghamton. Or if you're not! When we left my last appointment my wife said that she would kick me if I ever get pierced by someone else. All around an awesome shop that runs like a machine. May need a tattoo sometime this year too! Read Less

I recommend Shaman's Den for anyone who wants to get a piercing! I've gotten my nose, ear, and nipples pierced by Dan there and every time has been a great experience. He is very professional and makes the whole experience very comfortable and pleasant! Everything is very clean, and sterile. Dan gives great instructions for aftercare and gives you his contact information in case you have any questions. Couldn't have asked for anything better!I haven't gotten any tattoos there so I can't speak to how the tattoo artists are unfortunately. Read Less

Shamans den is absolutely awesome. Writing this review a long while after j first got my nose piercing, but my experience was so good that I remember it very well.My friend went in to get her conch and I went in to get my nostril done. They had us sign a consent initially and show ID. The guys there took all the time in the world with each case. It was my first facial piercing ever and first piercing in a while but they talked me through everything and kept me from wimping out. While they were setting up they even explained what they were doing. Everything was so clean and my experience was so wonderful overall. Read Less

Really excellent service! I went in to get my nose pierced. I'm a huge baby when it comes to pain, and the staff did everything they could to make me feel comfortable.The place was super clean and professional. The guy walked me through each step so nothing was a surprise. The feeling wasn't pain so much as pressure. By the time I "felt" it, he was already done!This was a really impulsive (and unlike-me) decision and I couldn't be happier with it. They also had a nice selection of jewelry and a cool atmosphere. Definitely recommend this place. Read Less

The Shaman's Den is the BEST, most professional tattoo parlor in the area, hands down. They are professionals, and won't just slap a tattoo on anyone without knowing that it will stand the test of time, and that it actually looks good (amazing, actually). They are for real artists and you will NOT be disappointed. Read Less

The guys at The Shaman's Den are AWESOME. I've been tattooed by Paul for my first tattoo and he was more than accommodating. His artistic abilities are amazing and captured exactly what I wanted when I couldn't describe it. He was understanding when I needed a break or two! Id highly recommend his work to anyone getting a tattoo.I have been pierced by Dan twice and I can't imagine going anywhere else. He walks you through step-by-step whats going on and shows you the clean materials. I feel great getting any modifications from these guys because of how clean and friendly they are.Thank you guys and keep being awesome! Read Less

For years I have gone here for all of my tattoos piercings and scarification.   1.  You will always find the shop meticulously clean, organized and exactly how you should find a sterile tattoo shop.2. You will not be able to get a tattoo on the fly.   It's the best shop in the area.  You will have to wait. 3. You will not walk away disappointed. I had gone to other shops in the area only to have piercings done wrong.  I have never had a bad experience here. Read Less

The guys at The Shaman's den are amazing! And I'm not only talking about artistic talent, but personality, friendliness, and customer service. The list goes on and on. For many years I have only went to see Shawn, Dan, and Paul for all my tattoo and piercing needs. When you make an appointment with one of these guys, you receive exceptional customer service. And their shop is beautiful and incredibly clean. Yes, you may have to make an appointment and wait a bit, but it is worth the wait. By far the cleanest and most professional shop in the area. And they are hilarious. They tell you jokes and make you laugh the entire time you're there. I am always made to feel comfortable and treated like a good friend when I visit The Shaman's Den. I will never go anywhere else. Read Less

Not gonna lie, when I first walked into this place I was terrified. I had never been in a tattoo studio before and was intimidated by the tough-ass look of the place. I went there with a few friends to get piercings done and my friends said this was the best piercing place in the area.It was a great experience! I was taken to a private room in the back that looked like a doctor's office and was shown how each instrument is sterile. I had my nose pierced and it barely hurt. The person doing it (I forgot his name!) was extremely professional and clearly knew what he was doing. I was a little dizzy afterwards, since I get light headed easily, and the piercer gave me an ice pop.This was back in 2010 when I was a student at Binghamton. Sadly I no longer have a nose ring. For a while I was debating piercing it again, but I'm nervous to go to a different place after having such a wonderful experience the first time around. I have actually debated taking the long trip back to Binghamton just for another piercing. Read Less

Myself and 3 others attempted to get family tattoos here. We were quickly turned away due to the artist claiming he did not like the design and would not accommodate the spot we wanted them tattooed (wrist) and the size. He also claimed it would take over a week to draw up, which seems absurd to me since it's simply a two line Celtic knot. I think that speaks highly to his extreme lack of talent. We quickly turned to a competitor in the Ithaca, NY area, who was MORE than happy to accommodate our needs. I can safely say I will never consider Shaman's Den for any type of tattoo or piercing, and their service was beyond poor. If you're looking for a tattoo, I'd highly advise looking elsewhere. Awful! Read Less

I had a tattoo done here and I was really happy with the results. The place is really clean and comfortable to be in. The staff is really fun to be around and they really do love what they are doing! They are very professional and I love the environment. Paul designed something for me and it was great. What I loved about the place was that the people were very honest with you and because of their skill, I really felt that I could trust their judgement! Read Less

There is no other studio like this around this area...period! If you have ever seen a well done tattoo or percing around here, chances are it was done at The Shaman's Den. Check out there jewelry selection as well, no "mall" crap here! I've gottten jewelry from a few other studios around town and it's all been junk. Seriuosly, if you want your body art done right, go here! Read Less

When I got my nipples pierced, I always intended to change the jewelry sooner rather than later. Two years went by and I still hadn't done it. Finally, I was tired of looking at captive bead rings, and I had a few bucks to spare. The obvious place to go? Shaman's Den!The shop was clean, well-lit, and really busy even on a Thursday at 2 PM. Everyone who was there seemed happy with the work they were having done. I picked out my new jewelry and went to the back with Dan, the piercer. Dan is a member of the Association of Professional Piercers, he's got various certifications to reassure you that he knows what he is doing, and he's just a nice, easygoing guy.While it can be awkward to have a stranger poking at your tits, Daniel put me at ease pretty quickly. He was quiet and efficient, and he laughed a lot as I bantered with the friend who had accompanied me.I was really happy with my experience here, and I will be back any time I need new jewelry. If I end up getting a tattoo, this is going to be the first place I look into. Read Less

I've been here 4x to get pierced or tattooed thus far and a few times to be moral support for my friends and every single time I leave so happy.  The staff here is so wonderful. They are absolutely professional and clean and know how to deal with people.  I have friends from all over who tell me to try their tattoo and piercing joints but I have gone out of my way to see the guys at the Shaman's Den because I trust them so much.  So enjoy whatever work you get done here, I'm sure it'll be great!
