I absolutely loved every single thing about meeting Onyx and my first time in her incredible shop! The second I looked at her face and met her, I instantly felt comfortable and at ease, and like I had known her my whole life. I have been going through one of the worst situations of my entire life, and went to her for help, and she was just absolutely amazing! I see myself spending a whole lot of time there in the near future. Her service and insight are amazing and she genuinely cares and is a rare soul to find. Truly the best experience! I went in crying and at my wits end, and left feeling calm and in control and like everything was going to be okay. It was completely pivotal. I highly recommend her and her store! Read Less

Strange Brew is an amazing pagan shop...they have a wide variety of herbs, as well as books and other merchandise....the owner Onyx is a sweetheart and very knowledgeable. I would recommend Strange Brew to everyone Read Less

I have heard about Strange Brew since I was a teenager, but only recently started going there just before Charmaine (I apologize if I spelled that wrong), but instead started going there for my spiritual needs and for essential oils and herbs.  The first time I went I met Onyx the new owner and she is a wonderful woman and spiritual advisor of sorts.  The store is amazing.  It contains jewelry, religious artifacts, books on spiritualism and so much more.  I know the old shop did tattoos and piercings, but contacting Strange Brew would be the best way of finding out.  I find that Strange Brew is a great place to just go and look around.  It is very calming and fun to hang out and talk with the people there.

Unprofessional looking. Portfolio was just a series of blurry pictures in a photo album. Tattoo area was really just a chair in the corner of a poorly lit room. The tattoo artist I would say isn't an artist at all, only knows how to use the machine and trace images. For someone who went to school for art they don't know anything about presentation. Would not go back. Read Less

My son and I have been customers of Strange Brew for the past 3 years or so and I can't say enough good things about this unique store and tattoo shop. I have purchased beautiful handmade jewelry there at very reasonable prices, and they also have a great selection of crystal stones, incense and books among many other unique gift ideas. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and always happy to help you. I also have had 2 tattoos done there and I am so impressed by the professional detail and color, and so many people have complimented me on how really artistically wonderful they turned out, exactly as I pictured them to be. I am so delighted that I got my tattoos done there and also was able to schedule an appointment without much delay at all! My experience and my son's as well have been very positive and we highly recommend you stop by and see them and all the amazing things they have to offer! Read Less

When I first decided to get a tattoo I went to a few shops to see what I was getting myself into. One place I checked out seemed cliquey and I was uncomfortable, one was way overpriced, and another looked dirty. Once word got out that I was interested a few different people I know all had the same recommendation - Strange Brew! Chimene is an amazing artist. Her shop is clean. She allows enough time for each appointment. I have never felt rushed. She has a lot of books if you are not sure you know what you want, but will custom design for you if you have an idea in your head. Strange Brew is also a store, so you can just walk in at anytime to look around and see her artwork without feeling out of place. Very casual feeling. Each time I've gone, she has made sure the design I wanted was perfect before she began. I have been to her 3 times now and will not go anywhere else. I highly recommend! Read Less

Being clean is the first thing I look for in a tattoo parlor. Strange Brew is all and more when it comes to cleanliness. The second thing I look for is talent! Both of the tattoo artists are awesome. I've only been tattooed by Chimene. But I have seen many pieces done by Cat as well. Both are stellar artists. Chimene did a tattoo for my husband on his back.. his battle buddy drew it while they were in Iraq. Chimene was able to replicate the tattoo perfectly. It looked exactly like the drawing. She did a coverup for me. My ex husband's name. THANK YOU! and you can't even tell that his name was there!GREAT SHOP! aside from the tattoos, they also have merchandise that can't be found in many places around here. :) Read Less

Great atmosphere and great art! Gotten worked on by both Chimene and Cat, wouldn't go anywhere else- they've even fixed a few old ones. Having an appointment means you don't have to sit for hours or be surrounded by teens hanging out, love that they play soothing music too- it makes you feel like your comfort matters. Both girls have art degrees and make every effort to make sure that you get the design you want, that it's about you. I've been in places where the artist is rude or are more interested in doing their own style than trying to give you what is in your mind, or just want to pump out as many designs as they can in a night. The shop is on facebook, so you can check out the artwork there. The place is quaint, comfortable and CLEAN! I happened to be in the shop last week when the health inspector came in- he literally stood there and said- "Yup, the place looks nice and clean just like it always does." Then Chimene spent some time showing the guy some new changes they made. I thought the place was clean whenever I got ink there, but it sure didn't hurt to hear that kind of confirmation.I love shopping there too. Herbs, top quality oils, and really funky stuff from around the world and different religions. I love the jewelry, especially the local artist stuff- I really dig having one of a kind things and getting my nag champa incense fix too! Lets see- also stones, books, knives, statues, tarot cards... the place is packed, it's like a treasure hunt! Like I said, one of my favorite places- it's worth checking out. Read Less

I have gotten 3 amazing tattoos from a wonderful artist, as well as numerous oils, books, incense, and jewelry from Strange Brew over the years. No other place in WNY comes close to the variety and selection of pagan goods. Read Less

We have been friends of Strange Brew for the past 7 years, and wouldn't think of going anywhere else for our tattoos, herbs and curious goods. The store is amazing as are Chimene and Cat! They make you feel welcome and at ease and part of the 'family'! Their artistry surpasses any I've seen in Buffalo, and I wouldn't let anyone else touch my skin! Thanks Strange Brew crew.......keep up the great work......we'll be back for more in February! Read Less
