I recently got my tattoo started on 3/7. My artist is Khit. They have top quality, unique art. I selected a design, he drew it up (and even researched what's the correct side for this buddhist tattoo.) I love my tattoo and can't wait to get it finished. Arboreal Ink. has the best rates for the best work I've seen. Arboreal Ink also does piercings (I'm a tattoo person.) I absolutely reccomend Arboreal Ink. I haven't seen a better tattoo shop.

I was here recently and I got a piercing and this was by far the most professional piercing experience I ever had. The piercer, Brittany, was very kind, knowledgeable, and patient. I recommend everyone to get a piercing done by her. Read Less

I discovered this place here on Yelp when I was searching for tattoo and piercing shops with good reviews, and now I can add another glowing review to the list.I contacted Arboreal Ink because I wanted to get my ears pierced. I have had this done twice before years ago at cheap mall kiosks, but the holes never healed, and ended up closing up. After a short email conversation with Britt at Arboreal I made an appointment. Britt is fabulous, and I can't say enough good things about her and my experience here. She spent so much time talking me through the process. You can tell that she loves her job, and has a lot of experience to back that up. We were able to work around the scarring from previous piercings, the new ones were quick and (almost) painless, and I am very happy with the results.Highly recommended! Read Less

Greg is AMAZING!  Worked with me on my design from a set of screen shots off web and them free handed some wave details.  Highly recommended very professional and good conversation takes your mind off your pain! Read Less

Greg at Arboreal Ink did an amazing job on my dear wife's foot. He designed the artwork first and then inked her foot. This was my wife's first tattoo, ever. The work is so phenomenal that I'm considering getting my first tattoo as well. Read Less

I got my first tattoo from Kevin Lockwood, he was understanding and took the time to ease the nerves, he truley is an artist! Everyone asks me who did that? it's beautiful! I am on number 2 and he has truley done it again! I recommend you to stop by and see him for ur tattoo. Read Less

Have been there for all 5 of my families tattoos . The two I received were superbly done from the drawing to the actual tattoo. This place is clean and the artists are talented and overall an amazing experience and will return in the future for more tattoos!! Read Less

I went here for a daith piercing. Brittany did an excellent job and I fully recommend coming here. I've had 12 other piercings so I'm not new to the process and this was the best experience I've had to date. The shop is clean, safe, sanitary. They double sterilize equipment. She is willing to answer any questions you have and very through. I recommend them for both the new and experienced to both piercing and tattoos. Great job and I'll definitely be back for more! :) Read Less

Greg has been doing my tattoos for 4 years now and has always done an amazing job. He also did a cover up for me and you can't even tell there was a tattoo there before. He always amazes me with his art work when I leave the shop. ALL of the ARTIST are very friendly and make you feel at home. I would reccommend them to anyone! Read Less

I've had an amazing experience getting tattooed at this shop. Kevin was my tattoo artist for 3 of my tattoos, 2 of which being pretty large full-color pieces. It was quick, pretty pain-free (considering you're getting tattooed, lol), and an all around pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone to get tattooed or pierced since all of my interactions with their staff have been top notch. Experienced, knowledgeable, and professional. Not much more you could ask for! I've even recommended the place to my mom! Read Less

Excellent experience. Kevin was very friendly, in addition to doing an exceptional job on my tattoo. Very attentive. The environment of the shop itself is a positive one as well. Can't wait to go back! Read Less

Excellent artists, clean shop, quality work, and best of all they have a sign right on the door that says "No Children". Children are those things that look like tiny people but they're way louder, stinkier, and often carry communicable diseases. Who needs that hassle when you're getting some new art installed? I know I don't. Children suck... these guys don't.Read Less

I've been getting tattooed by Greg since 2013, and Britt has done two of my piercings. They're a fantastic shop, very clean and all of the artists are super laid back and really care about their clients. Britt is very knowledgeable with piercings and was very calming and reassuring during the whole process. Greg is an amazing artist and always meets any challenges I present him with enthusiasm, killing it every time. Seriously, check them out. Read Less

Have dealt with Kevin on several occasions and you never feel less than accepted in any dealings with him. I would highly recommend checking out his shop and work if you're in the area to support such a great business. Read Less

I called ahead to find out hours and if they have replacement earrings for my son. I showed up at 8pm the sign in the door said they closed at 9pm. They were closed and a sign on the door said no kids aloud. In stead of spending my money there, I spent it some where else. Read Less

Can't find a better shop in WNY! Greg has been steadily working on an arm sleeve for me since October 2016 and I couldn't be happier. I feel like he's looked into my mind and pulled out the exact images and color schemes that I imagined. It's a clean, fun and friendly environment, from artists to customers. I highly recommend them to everyone who asks where I get my work done. I have never had so many compliments on a tattoo as I have my sleeve. You won't regret your decision to come here! And Britt- she is the most thorough person when it comes to body piercing- flat out impressive! Read Less

I made an appointment with Brittany to get my first tragus piercing. Most artists would have told me my ears were too tiny for the piercing, but Brittany was patient, concise and made me feel relaxed. She made sure I knew what to do depending on how the piercing healed. I left the shop feeling confident that I knew what to do. I'll definitely be going back. Read Less

I can't say enough amazing things about this place. Impeccable, knowledgeable artists. Super clean, sanitary workspace. Greg has been working on me for the last few years, I wouldn't go to anyone else. Many of my friends have started seeing him. Brit knows everything there is to know about piercings. Fun but professional environment! Read Less

What can I say about Arboreal Ink??? Well to start, I absolutely LOVE this shop and everyone in it! The shop is full of beautiful art, ALWAYS clean and inviting. All of the Artists are extremely, extremely talented. But the owner Greg is one of the most talented people that I've ever met! He is a perfectionist, but not in an arrogant manner. He created beautiful pieces or art on my body. On top of that, he's an overall great dude and respected business owner. People you get what you pay for! That's all I'm saying.. Read Less

I am so glad i found Arboreal Ink and Kit. I could not be more happy and amazed at what he produced and tattooed on me. I left the design up to him and seeing his work I had total faith in what he would come up with and i was not disappointed. I will definitely be coming back. I just wish i found him sooner. Great artist and a great guy. Read Less

I went to Arboreal Ink because I liked Kevin's watercolor work. However the work he did for me was quick and he promised that if it didn't turn out right I could come in for a free touch up. But when I tried to get in touch for this touch up it was like pulling teeth to get a response. It's now been months of trying to get this scheduled with him without even an "I'm booked up for now, I'll get back to you" or any indication he will follow up despite multiple attempts on my part. When he wanted to book the initial tattooing, he wanted to schedule it for that very week but now I need a touch up he has no time? Not my first time getting a tattoo, I know how artists are.  Guess this one only cares about getting money - I would not recommend if you want your tattoo done by someone who cares about their work.

Walking into my appointment I was SO nervous to get my first tattoo, but I'm so happy Khita was my tattoo artist. He made sure my tattoo was perfectly placed, spaced-out, etc. He made me feel very comfortable and described everything he was doing before he did it. I will definitely be returning for another tattoo here because the prices are very fair and he did an awesome job! Thank you for making my first tattoo experience a great one :) Read Less

We're in from out of town and I went here based on great reviews. Wasn't disappointed. They were super friendly, which isn't always the case for ink shops. I got a next day appointment and I love my tattoo. He did a good job of tweaking it until I was satisfied. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 b/c it could have been a little cleaner/more organized, but I'm a neat freak/germaphobe, so I'm picky, and it was still fine for me. Read Less

These guys are amazing. I got my first tattoo here and it was a great experience. Greg was amazing took the time to see my vision and come up with multiple sketches. The place was very clean and professional and he was really nice. I never got a tattoo before and he really talked me through the process and made me feel comfortable. I can't say enough good things, and the tattoo came out beautiful. Read Less

Kita did my cover up! He's amazing and super nice. He actually knows what he's doing. Fair prices!! I'm now his newest client. The shop also has a great atmosphere and the shop assistant is great and really helpful. Best tattoo shop in buffalo hands down!!! Read Less

So happy that I chose to have my piercing done here! I had a navel piercing a few years ago that I let close. I was really nervous about re-piercing because I didn't want it to look funny or create a lot of scar tissue. Brittany was beyond patient with me and lines up the new piercing so perfectly that it's impossible to tell it's a re-pierce! She also explained which jewelry would be better since I take ballet and stretch a lot. I barely felt a thing when the piercing was done, and I'm so glad I went to Arboreal. Read Less

I decided on the spur of the moment to get a tattoo on my left foot on Valentine's Day! For 10 months I have been looking at Greg's gallery on the website. I loved what I saw! So I called to see if there was by chance an opening.....there was! Greg and I spoke and set a time. When I arrived we discussed design and location. He went off to create my tattoo! I fell in love when he showed me his vision. This is when I got a bit nervous as this was going to be on my foot. I never thought I would do a foot but recently I started challenging myself and pushing myself to see what I am capable of. Soon I was more relaxed and in awe of this Artist!!!! I am super thrilled and an more than certain that Greg will be doing my memorial tattoo as soon as I am ready! I highly recommend this Artist! Read Less
