I've been going to Mark for 10 years now. He has tattooed my daughter and now my son goes too! There is no better artist and no better people then Mark and McKinsey!! I make sure every time someone asks to tell them exactly where I got my ink from. Mark is the only person who will ever put a needle to me, and I'm sure my son now as well. On top of being great at what they do, Mark and McKinsey are two of the nicest people you will ever meet. Gaurunteed you will never leave disappointed and not appreciated for being their customer. Love you guys. See you again soon. Read Less

The ONLY person I will let tattoo me is Mark!! He is the best. I always walk away with a tattoo even better than my expectations. Mckinsey is the only person I would ever let peirce me too!! They are completely worth the 6 hour ride to get to Saugerties!!! Read Less

lol, I notice that any negative review on here doesn't comment why. If I were to write a negative review for someone, you can bet that I would be willing to share why. in fact, I would be looking forward to it. Marky Marks is great. I drive up from Suffolk County and have been for years. My wife and son do as well. I pass many shops on the way and wouldn't think about using any one of them. Nothing but great things to say. Great people and great work. Thanks again for all the work that you have done. Will be back up soon. Read Less

Mark came highly recommended by friends and family. He has done two Tatts for me and I'm very happy with the great detail he put into both. His wife does body piercings. Need to make an appointment, which can take a while, they are always pretty busy. Read Less

Mark is amazing! I'm not sure what John D below is writing about. Mark is a phenomenal artist, the environment is clean and the equipment is sterile. Mark has done all of my tattoos and whenever I ask for an adjustment or a touch up, he does so without any issues.  In fact, he always tells me to come back for touch-ups if the ink doesn't stay. His wife, McKinsey, does all of the piercings and is a nurse as well. I recommend this place for everyone looking for an amazing tattoo. I live in NYC and gladly make the 2.5 drive upstate just to see Mark and McKinsey. Thanks again for all the great work!!! Read Less

Been to a few others in the nearby areas, as much as I like metamorphosis in Kingston, markymarks IA amazing. McKenzie is extremely nice and always makes you feel like your a long time best friend. And mark is pretty awesome guy once you get past the intimidating exterior. Great tattoos, amazing piercings and piercing advice, and a nice clean shop to boot. No matter where I end up if I want another tattoo or extravagant piercing, I'll go the mile for these guys. Have been to them multiple times each, and always recommending them to friends and family. Thanks guys!!!!-Connor Read Less

I have been going to Mark for about 14 years and I cannot say enough great things about him and his wife McKinsey!! Wonderful people, professional and they do amazing work. People comment on my ink constantly! Mark is a true artist!! Such a gifted man and I will never EVER get a tattoo or piercing anywhere else!! Lisa Rowe Read Less

I have a few tatoos that I had done on the west coast, but was in town due to the loss of my dad.  I stopped by and discussed it with Mark and took a couple days to think about it.  Made an appointment after 6 PM and Mark was waiting at the door.  I selected a celtic cross and Mark did not disappoint!  This is the first tatoo parlor that actually gave you some gauze and ointment to care for your tattoo!  Excellent!Mark, thank you again and Marky Mark is the best!! Read Less

I have two tattoos and Mark has done them both. I will not go to another Tattoo place.Mark and McKinsey are very friendly and very helpful. You don't have to worry about anything while you're here, Mark is very clean tattoo artist and a good conversationalist. For my second tattoo, I brought Mark a piece of paper that my dad wrote on, and I wanted it turned into a tattoo. He did an amazing job. You could take him anything and he'll make it amazing. He will not tattoo you on the spot, so go in for a consultation. You will not regret having Mark tattoo you! Marky Marks in THE BEST! Read Less

I got my first piercing done here i was only 15 at the time the lady was very friendly and gentle i would definitely reccomed it. And my belly piercing came out perfect thank you kind lady from marky marks! Read Less

I have been going to Marky Marks's for about 10 years now for all of my Tattoo's and would never go anywhere else! Ever since my first meeting with Mark and McKinsey they treated me and my friends with nothing but respect and excellent service. Over the years I have sent numerous people to Marks and everyone has come back and told me they were 100% satisfied and had a great experience. If its your first tattoo or piercing or your 100th I would recommended Marky Mark's hands down! They dont just treat you like a client they treat you like a friend and that is something that is lacking from many other tattoo establishments Ive been to in the past. If your ever in the area stop in and see them you will not be disappointed!Read Less

Marky Mark's is a great establishment. I've only had personal experience with McKinsey, and she is beyond great. I've had all my piercings done by her (3 total) and would never go anywhere else. She'll make you more comfortable, dabbing Lavender oil on your wrist if you are very nervous. She's very gentle and quick. All my experiences were less painful than I had imagined. She's also very precise, finding just the right spot to make your piercings perfect. I went there recently after losing my nose ring and was pleasantly surprised when McKinsey not only sold me one that was even better than my previous one, but she also put in for me, and trimmed it to a perfect size as well... without me even asking... and it was only $5! I plan on getting my next tattoo done there, whenever I can afford it. But this place is just wonderful... Don't miss out! Read Less

If you are looking for a great tattoo or piercing, this is the place to go!! As of today, got my third tattoo by Mark. I will not go anywhere else again!! Mckinsey is a great piercer, had my tongue done a few years ago! They are awesome people, and make you feel very comfortable!! Enjoy! Read Less

I have not had the pleasure of getting a Tattoo here yet. I did how ever get some piercings done. Me, my son and his friend all got our piercings done there at the same time. Mckinsey is so gentle and quick. You don't even realize she is done, your busy waiting for the pain and you've already been pierced. My daughter wanted to get her nose pierced and she lived out of state i waited to get it done by Mckinsey because i didn't trust anyone else. I would totally recommend getting both tattoo's and piercings here. They treat their customers with respect and explain what you need to do to make sure your piercings don't become infected. Nothing but love here from us... Read Less

I don't know where this last person is talking about but Marky Marks is a great place ,clean friendly his wife is a nurse .This looks like a guy who is making things up because everyone I know loves this place .and its funny he knows the local scratch-er and how to spell his name ! Read Less

Marky Mark's holds a soft spot in my heart - not only do they have a bitchin' name, but this is where I got my belly button pierced!The place was pretty straight forward. I remember it being a little cramped, but the person that took care of us was helpful and polite.I was with my then bff Andrew and we decided that we wanted to get pierced. I went first - they pierced me and I got an INSTANT rush of adrenaline! I was ready to get something else pierced!! Thankfully, they told me to just let it pass - it was Andrew's turn! When they pierced him, I watched his pupils dilate and he got light headed! They were nice enough to get him a cup of water and let him sit until he got his bearings back!The jewelry that they used was high quality - I still have it to this day. They did a great job with the piercing...I had minimal pain and after care was easy. I would definitely recommend Marky Mark's to any locals looking for a new hole!  ;-) Read Less

I went in for my first body piercing in February 2009, not knowing exactly what i wanted she showed me a picture and told me what it was called when i described it to her. I was nervous and the piercer rubbed an aromatherapy scent on my wrist to help and she made me feel very comfortable. She was very quick and gentle. I loved the experience, love the piercing, and ill be going back within the next few months to get more piercings. Read Less

i went in to get my first tattoo this week and i would recommend this shop to anyone! mark was super gentle and made me feel very relaxed. mark and his wife give you everything that you need for the next few days to take care of your tattoo. (even have some extras) i was very nervious to get the tattoo as i had no idea as to what to expect. mark did a little line to show me what to expect and would stop whenever i needed him too.
