I got a tattoo outlined here and decided not to go back for further appointments. While some people think David is great I find his aggressive "I know what's best" attitude annoying. It is someone else decision and his mannerisms are simply not considerate or encouraging. If you want a small tattoo, why is that that something permanent on your body has to satisfy his aesthetic?Another thing is, I witnesses a customer walk put out of frustration during my appointment and I think the way the space handled the situation was disgraceful in general. The customer felt like she was completely uncomfortable communicating with the staff because they are so hostile to her real wants. The most ridiculous thing is, if you ask David what watercolor tattoos is, he's like, that's bullshit. When the simple and obvious truths is there are plenty of artists in the trade that can shade exquisitely without bold outlines. It's fine that you practice your style, but what's the point of boating your ego and pretending like artists elsewhere can't what you can do. I ended getting my tattoos finished at evil and love in greenpoint, they were super nice and truly talented and I would recommend to everyone. Read Less

After much research to find the best tattoo artist in the city, my husband and I found Daniel Cotte. Daniel is considerate, thoughtful, and seeks to fulfill your expectations as well as make his own contributions as an artist. At my first appointment with him for a large back piece, he spent three hours adjusting the design to meet my very particular expectations. Twenty one sessions later, the tattoo is complete and absolutely phenomenal. He is a patient perfectionist who never sacrifices quality, and constantly strives for originality and creativity. Tattoos hurt, and Daniel was only ever supportive and encouraging, always looking for ways to make me as comfortable as possible (which is not very while you're getting a back piece). He's a lovely person and a gifted artist, and my husband and I now travel from out of state to continue our work with him; when you find the best, you keep coming back for more. Read Less

ANYWAY... After talking with the guys and telling them what I would LOVE to really get..... I went ahead and did it... and I am so F*CKING IN LOVE WITH IT!..A beautiful quote on the inside of my left arm....3 lines, large... and just Beautiful!Now, who's responsible for this beauty?? DANIEL IS! .... Daniel and I worked on the tattoo design for an hour and a half before moving forward. Its not just any ole' font from the internet.... its a combination of my handwriting and his handwriting.... unique, legible, feminine, REAL ART.... and before we began--- he made sure I was totally comfortable and 100% happy with the placement. Needless to say, I was. Daniel is not only a fabulous tattoo artist, he is passionate and you can tell he REALLY loves what he does.... And that is why SENASPACE RULES and I now have the COOLEST tattoo ever! 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!! Read Less

The tattoo area is tucked in the back of the gallery and the feel mimics the rest of the space. As always, great music in the background and David's take on my suggestions were nothing short of amazing. Not to mention that while tattoo's hurt, in the case of this session (and the previous two I've had with him) - he was sensitive enough to how the body was responding to the pressure of the needle and it wasn't bad at all.If you want great artwork, a relaxing vibe, friendly people all around and a great session - come here.

Unfortunately, I would NOT recommend David to anyone!!! Stay far away!!!!!!!! This was my second tattoo and I am completely unhappy with the results. Because of what I saw on his website and all the reviews, I decided to fly in from the west coast just to see him. I was so unhappy with the end results that today I had my first appointment to have it removed by laser. During my initial conversations with David, I completely understood he was transitioning to his current address. He did not listen to any of my needs/wants nor did he draw a design for us to work with. He just grabbed some markers, drew a general outline on my arm and went to town. Not what I asked for at all. I then went back for a touch-up which he had the audacity to charge me for!!! I trusted David and was very unhappy with his work. Stay clear away from this scam artist. Read Less

After years of wanting a sleeve (first tattoo - go big or go home), I finally decided to pull the trigger. I began researching nearly every shop in NYC and looking at every artist's portfolio. Ironically, I found David on Yelp. After browsing his work, I knew he was the one. I went in for a consultation back in March 2013 to discuss the idea/size and set up an appointment in July 2013. For a custom/large scale idea, be prepared to wait a few months for an appointment slot. In June, I went in for a drawing session where he doodles on you with a few sharpies to lay down some ground work for the final drawing. You will not see the final drawing until the day of your appointment. I know this may sound nerve racking but trust me, David does not disappoint.My 3/4 sleeve took 5 sessions (~15 hours) to finish. During some sessions I would think to myself, where is David going with this? Then BOOM, he hits you with some artistic gold. Do yourself a favor and goto Senaspace. Read Less

David Sena is a true artist. I was fortunate enough to have him do my first tattoo over 10 years ago and have been spoiled ever since. His line work is always perfect. His shading is nothing short of artistic. His ability to translate exactly what you want and make it even better is uncanny. His new storefront, SenaSpace is clean, friendly and perfect for tattoo first timers all the way up to old timers. The staff is great and welcoming...the music is on point...the front often has beautiful art hanging from all types of artists...what more can you ask for.When you are getting something on your body that doesn't have an "undo" button and you need it done right the first time...its worth checking out SenaSpace.

This is the ONLY place you should go to for tattoos in NYC!!!Top notch service & amazing work product --I CANNOT recommend this place more strongly!!! Daniel did the tattoos for me and a friend -- it was the first time for both of us but he (and everyone else in the studio) made us feel extremely comfortable with our decisions.He went through multiple drafts of our designs, listened very carefully to what we wanted, and made himself available to squeeze us in to his schedule! Daniel, David, and Andrew are ALL SUPERSTARS. We saw the reviews on Yelp and were beyond impressed. The men who work here are humble, gracious, and INCREDIBLY talented!! Read Less

After much research to find the best tattoo artist in the city, my husband and I found Daniel Cotte. Daniel is considerate, thoughtful, and seeks to fulfill your expectations as well as make his own contributions as an artist. At my first appointment with him for a large back piece, he spent three hours adjusting the design to meet my very particular expectations. Twenty one sessions later, the tattoo is complete and absolutely phenomenal. He is a patient perfectionist who never sacrifices quality, and constantly strives for originality and creativity. Tattoos hurt, and Daniel was only ever supportive and encouraging, always looking for ways to make me as comfortable as possible (which is not very while you're getting a back piece). He's a lovely person and a gifted artist, and my husband and I now travel from out of state to continue our work with him; when you find the best, you keep coming back for more. Read Less

Before reading this-- note that I did ALOT of research on YELP for the best tattoo place and spoke with many over the phone. With that being said--- your search stops here!... Let me tell you why:The artist, the decor, the aesthetics of the space---- everything is top notch!! so cozy... and the guys are super friendly and welcoming!I sooo.... Here's my story: I went in on a Saturday to inquire about covering up a tiny tattoo on my wrist (a white tattoo thats NOT white from a crappy place which I will be nice and not mention-- COUGH)... ANYWAY... After talking with the guys and telling them what I would LOVE to really get..... I went ahead and did it... and I am so F*CKING IN LOVE WITH IT!..A beautiful quote on the inside of my left arm....3 lines, large... and just Beautiful!Now, who's responsible for this beauty?? DANIEL IS! .... Daniel and I worked on the tattoo design for an hour and a half before moving forward. Its not just any ole' font from the internet.... its a combination of my handwriting and his handwriting.... unique, legible, feminine, REAL ART.... and before we began--- he made sure I was totally comfortable and 100% happy with the placement. Needless to say, I was. Daniel is not only a fabulous tattoo artist, he is passionate and you can tell he REALLY loves what he does.... And that is why SENASPACE RULES and I now have the COOLEST tattoo ever! 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!! Read Less

Finally made it to the new shop for number three with David Sena, and what a lovely space! Clean, bright and filled with gorgeous artwork. The tattoo area is tucked in the back of the gallery and the feel mimics the rest of the space. As always, great music in the background and David's take on my suggestions were nothing short of amazing. Not to mention that while tattoo's hurt, in the case of this session (and the previous two I've had with him) - he was sensitive enough to how the body was responding to the pressure of the needle and it wasn't bad at all.If you want great artwork, a relaxing vibe, friendly people all around and a great session - come here.

Unfortunately, I would NOT recommend David to anyone!!! Stay far away!!!!!!!! This was my second tattoo and I am completely unhappy with the results. Because of what I saw on his website and all the reviews, I decided to fly in from the west coast just to see him. I was so unhappy with the end results that today I had my first appointment to have it removed by laser. During my initial conversations with David, I completely understood he was transitioning to his current address. He did not listen to any of my needs/wants nor did he draw a design for us to work with. He just grabbed some markers, drew a general outline on my arm and went to town. Not what I asked for at all. I then went back for a touch-up which he had the audacity to charge me for!!! I trusted David and was very unhappy with his work. Stay clear away from this scam artist. Read Less

After years of wanting a sleeve (first tattoo - go big or go home), I finally decided to pull the trigger. I began researching nearly every shop in NYC and looking at every artist's portfolio. Ironically, I found David on Yelp. After browsing his work, I knew he was the one. I went in for a consultation back in March 2013 to discuss the idea/size and set up an appointment in July 2013. For a custom/large scale idea, be prepared to wait a few months for an appointment slot. In June, I went in for a drawing session where he doodles on you with a few sharpies to lay down some ground work for the final drawing. You will not see the final drawing until the day of your appointment. I know this may sound nerve racking but trust me, David does not disappoint.My 3/4 sleeve took 5 sessions (~15 hours) to finish. During some sessions I would think to myself, where is David going with this? Then BOOM, he hits you with some artistic gold. Do yourself a favor and goto Senaspace. Read Less

David's talent speaks for itself! I would even go as far to say he's a genius.After hearing about David through a friend, I decided to come into the shop to speak to David about getting a half sleeve dragon. Since the moment I stepped in, he was nothing but genuine and friendly. Fast forward to the day of my first appointment October 23rd, David had drew up an amazing dragon for me while taking into consideration all the ideas I had in mind. David was able to accommodate my schedule and two more sessions after, we were finally done December 10th. If you're looking to get some spectacular work done, David will not disappoint! Read Less

David Sena is a true artist. I was fortunate enough to have him do my first tattoo over 10 years ago and have been spoiled ever since. His line work is always perfect. His shading is nothing short of artistic. His ability to translate exactly what you want and make it even better is uncanny. His new storefront, SenaSpace is clean, friendly and perfect for tattoo first timers all the way up to old timers. The staff is great and welcoming...the music is on point...the front often has beautiful art hanging from all types of artists...what more can you ask for.When you are getting something on your body that doesn't have an "undo" button and you need it done right the first time...its worth checking out SenaSpace.

David is an incredible artist, talented tattoo artist, and a wonderful person to work with. He worked closely with me to create two unique Japanese chest pieces and half-sleeves...it was refreshing for an artist to actually listen and incorporate my ideas. I am regularly stopped on the street and asked about my tattoos as the quality is unparalleled. Tattooing can be a bit intimidating but David puts you at ease and makes the whole experience memorable (in a good way!). I even took my mom to David for a simple but all together original tattoo.

I've wanted a tattoo since I was a tiny little kid. When I finally decided to go for it, I did an extensive research, and found David Sena. This was nearly 5 years ago, and since then, I've gotten 2 more additional pieces by him (one is an extension to my original back piece, and another small one on the front of my shoulder blade). I've always been 100% happy with the result. The style is consistent, bold, and distinctive.Up till now, I still get compliments on my tattoos, even from people who don't dig tats..!I respect his talent and taste, and would recommend him to anyone who is serious about body art. Go check out his portfolio, and the work will speak for itself. Read Less
