For what they charge, you would think their customer service would be superb..that is not the case and i work too hard to give my money to the pompous shop. There are much better artist out there that understand the value of speaking to people correctly. Long story short i had an appointment scheduled w Ian after scheduling w him a month prior. I walked in for a consult as a new person to the shop..the girl there was rude from the moment i walked in..he didnt speak..yet i stayed to ask my questions. We scheduled and i put down a $100 deposit for my tat..the day for my appt i get a call saying he had an emergency the night/day off and would need to call back to reschedule. I called the next day and he was there but was working on a client and will call me back. He eventually did and was abrupt and silent on the phone as if i did something wrong. He gave me another date months away..im still trying to figure out what i did as a customer? Im totally turned off by this place and need to follow my instincts and the signs..this isnt a good place.

I truly love the work that vinny has done for me, its no wonder his name is well known all over Brooklyn. I already saw the piercings and tattoos he did on other people which came out flawless, he really does have an eye for detail. I decided to give him a shot on my latest tattoo. His tattoo shop was located on the second floor near avenue m and utica avenue so I couldn't find it at first but once you go upstairs you are greeted with a friendly smile. The shop is very small and nothing fancy but he lets you go on the computer with him to search for the designs you want or you can email him in advance. He was really patient with me since I was picky about the size and designs but he gave me honest opinions, but even if he doesn't agree with your vision he still will do whatever you want at the end of the day. He helped me find a scorpion design that wasn't too masculine and I was able to i corporate beautiful colors into the design. Despite the fact that he did my ankle which is super painful he was really gentle and patient with me(my foot fell asleep ten times lol). He also did a good job at shading and blending colors together and he did the tattoo super fast. The needles are brand new out the package and he constantly cleaned my skin in between job. The best part is I only paid $100 for the design he is extremely reasonable, I am dying to go back for another one already. Only downsides to the place that I can see is that he doesn't take debit cards( cash only) and he works limited hours on weekends so catch him while you can. PS he also is great to do coverups/ touch ups on old tattoos. Bravo! Read Less

My husband decided to come to Vinny's for a nose piercing solely due to his reputation, but ended up regretting his decision. Maybe he's good at tattoos, but based off experience and the looks of his Google Reviews, he is poorly skilled at doing piercings... Similar to others here, my husband also said it was extremely painful and that he bled more than he expected to. About a day later, his nose became inflammed and the piercing disappeared into his nose... We knew something was not right so we went to another piercer for advice. This person said that it was a poorly done piercing and that any knowledgable professional would have not used such a short, curved ring on a new piercing, let alone on a male because their nose cartilage is much thicker than females. You have to use a longer bar to accomodate for swelling during the healing process. He paid $25 at Vinny's and then $38 elsewhere to get a new ring installed... Just go to someone else who knows what they are doing and is professional enough to accept criticism. If this is a common complaint by your clients, why not take measures to prevent it? Check out his Google reviews. The place looks shoddy, too. Looks like it's his shop/house. Read Less

I have mixed reactions to my tattoos at Vinny's. My first time I got a tattoo that I really loved. It was later covered up, but through no fault of the original artist. Recently I got another smaller tattoo and I really don't like it. It's just lines and a lot of the lines aren't straight and it's a small tattoo on my wrist, so it's pretty noticeable the lack of symmetry. I don't know if it's a fluke, but I don't think I'll be visiting Vinny's again. Read Less

I found out about Vinny's because a lot of my friends got their tattoos done by him. This was my first time getting a tattoo and it was along time coming so I wanted everything to go perfect. When I arrived my friends and I, we were the only ones in the shop which was great because I didn't want to wait. The shop was really clean, had tattoo design across the wall, and it was quiet. Which made me not nervous at all. Vinny drew up the design and about in 20 mins he was ready to tattoo me. It was probably 30 minutes for him to do the tattoo and even though I was in pain Vinny was super nice, made me feel comfortable. I definitely recommend it anyone and I will definitely come back!
