This shop is filled with some very talented artists. A few months ago I finished up a full black and grey sleeve that was done by Jon. I emailed a few photos of themes I wanted to include in the sleeve and he knocked the finished piece right out of the park. I've been coming to Jon ever since I met him, by chance, as a walk-in at Big Joe's 2010, and I will continue to come back to him for more work. I'm looking forward to having some pieces done by other artists in the shop. Read Less

I don't think words can describe how happy I am with my tattoo and my overall experience at No Idols Tattoo. It was a pleasure getting to know Gabe ( my tattoo artist) and learning about his favorite style/technique. In addition, the atmosphere is very chill and welcoming. Everything from the appointment to the actually session went smoothly. The tattoo itself remains in mint condition, and the colors are still super vibrant. I can't wait to get another one here. I highly recommend this place. You won't regret it. Read Less

I was visiting New York for a short while and was lucky enough to be near this shop. I had been following Matt Buck on social media and really wanted some of his work. I walked in on a Friday and we were able to set an appointment for Sunday after giving him the general idea of what I wanted. I had no clear image in my mind but I knew he would draw something I would like. He drew and tattooed something far beyond what I had imagined, it's healed wonderfully and looks as good as the day he did it. I will absolutely be returning for more, he worked with my budget, was friendly and very professional. Thanks again matt! Read Less

What an amazing group of artists, so down to earth and chill! Every person at this shop brings their own special talents to produce the best, high quality tattoo work. The shop is filled with drawings, paintings and custom wood work all made by the artists at No Idols. There is no challenge too big or small for any of these amazing artists to tackle. All of the artists produce customized tattoos based on the clients preference and the tattooers expertise. I had a rib piece done by Matt Truiano and I couldn't be happier. Knowing my piece was designed for me and not just picked off of flash makes it so much more special. Read Less

Soooo, this was my second piece completed by Jon Mesa, who is now at No Idols Tattoo. This is a fairly new establishment with a cool space and layout, but my artist Jon is a veteran, and a superstar, in my opinion. His attention to detail and the calm and focus with which he addresses every piece, every client is very professional and easygoing. I haven't much to say about the staff, as I mostly dealt with the proprietor, Jon, but I got a good vibe from most and it was a very relaxed and friendly environment. I highly recommend this place to anyone interested in highly skilled tattoo artists and one of a kind tat pieces. Thank you Jon and thank you No Idols Tattoo. Read Less

So after following and admiring @jonmesa for quite sometime, I had the opportunity to get a very small piece done by him (for all to view soon) and regardless of how small this piece was he treated it like it was a large piece and tailored it specifically for me.

I came in following a recommendation with another individual who was looking for some ink to commemorate a road trip we'd been on. Upon arrival we received some solid talk regarding the direction of the work(From Dean), what was probable, and that they'd be able to have an artist in within a short amount of time to evaluate, draw, and do the request. Fast forward a tad bit, and it began. The artist Matt Buck took his time, evaluating and adjusting the design to excellent quality before following up with not only superb work, but great conversation, along with a prodigious amount of focus, and skill. I plan to get some ink here as well on my next trip to the NYC. I can easily recommend No Idols Tattoo for its work, artists, design, and overall environment. Read Less

What an amazing group of artists, so down to earth and chill! Every person at this shop brings their own special talents to produce the best, high quality tattoo work. The shop is filled with drawings, paintings and custom wood work all made by the artists at No Idols. There is no challenge too big or small for any of these amazing artists to tackle. All of the artists produce customized tattoos based on the clients preference and the tattooers expertise. I had a rib piece done by Matt Truiano and I couldn't be happier. Knowing my piece was designed for me and not just picked off of flash makes it so much more special. Read Less

Amazing tattoo shop, awesome decor with lots of art to look at for inspiration. Staff is also super duper friendly, chill, and laid back. My artist was very considerate during the session, making sure I was comfortable throughout the entire time even though it was less than 2 hours. They made me feel welcomed and they were all so polite and patient with my ideas. I would definitely come again for another tattoo just because the staff there are so much nicer than staff members I've encountered at other tattoo shops. Read Less

Soooo, this was my second piece completed by Jon Mesa, who is now at No Idols Tattoo. This is a fairly new establishment with a cool space and layout, but my artist Jon is a veteran, and a superstar, in my opinion. His attention to detail and the calm and focus with which he addresses every piece, every client is very professional and easygoing. I haven't much to say about the staff, as I mostly dealt with the proprietor, Jon, but I got a good vibe from most and it was a very relaxed and friendly environment. I highly recommend this place to anyone interested in highly skilled tattoo artists and one of a kind tat pieces. Thank you Jon and thank you No Idols Tattoo. Read Less

I came to get Friday 13 tattoo special, since it was walk in first come first served. I waited few hours but it worth the wait. When I was finally my turned I got Jon Mesa he was very kind even tho our conversation was short I felt comfortable. He did crow with the number 13 in it's eye. When he was done with my tattoo I was so happy with it. He did absolutely Immaculate job. I would highly recommend him and the shop to get some awesome ink. Read Less

So after following and admiring @jonmesa for quite sometime, I had the opportunity to get a very small piece done by him (for all to view soon) and regardless of how small this piece was he treated it like it was a large piece and tailored it specifically for me. An amazing artist who has an amazing personality and understands what it means to make a client feel special. I look forward to many more sessions done by this spectacular artist and maybe a beer or two when we visit NYC. Thanks Jon couldn't have had a better experience. Read Less

I came in following a recommendation with another individual who was looking for some ink to commemorate a road trip we'd been on. Upon arrival we received some solid talk regarding the direction of the work(From Dean), what was probable, and that they'd be able to have an artist in within a short amount of time to evaluate, draw, and do the request. Fast forward a tad bit, and it began. The artist Matt Buck took his time, evaluating and adjusting the design to excellent quality before following up with not only superb work, but great conversation, along with a prodigious amount of focus, and skill. I plan to get some ink here as well on my next trip to the NYC. I can easily recommend No Idols Tattoo for its work, artists, design, and overall environment. Read Less
