I spent 100 dollars on a small tattoo that took less than 15 minutes... but that’s not the real problem.. WHAT TATTOO SHOP DOESNT WRAP A TATTOO AND DOESNT EXPLAIN AFTER CARE? I’m highly disappointed in the service considering the letters smeared , and the lines were not fluent enough for my liking . I did get my nose piercing here and it healed well with care , but I would not recommend going here for a tattoo . Go to Dead Presidents Lounge for that . They rock, and their prices aren’t too bad for what amazing work they do. Read Less

SO happy that this shop was recommended to me! I went with my friend and her daughter for piercings and from the second I walked in the door I felt welcomed and comfortable! Jazz did our nose piercings and Jetta helped when my friends daughter got her ears pierced. I am in love with my new nose piercing but am already looking for reasons to go back to have more work done - the shop was exceptionally clean, great prices, lots of jewelry selection for piercings and tons of ideas for tattoos all around, staff professional and personable (just some seriously nice and genuine people which is beyond appreciated and recognized) and we never felt rushed. Thanks for making us comfortable, answering our million questions, and doing an amazing job! I will definitely be back and will recommend others if they are looking for recommendations piercing or tattoo shops. (Since I also got my tattoo on my wrist done by Jocelyn and am so thrilled with it as well!!!) Read Less

Went to this location when they had an event that was very dearing and I had a wonderful experience. The staff were great and super friendly. Made me feel at ease getting pierced 2x and comfortable to explain and she went. Definitely would recommend this place.... Read Less

Great shop! Good people. Good work. Went for a touch up on a hand tattoo I got a few weeks ago from Jon. He did a awesome job. I would highly recommended them but I don't want them flooded with business so then it's hard for me to get an appointment. Lol. JK. Check them out. Read Less

Jaclyne did an amazing job on mine and my step mothers tattoos! Love that she was able to fix my tongue with a longer and more comfortable bar. Very clean facility as well as the people are nice and fun to be around. With the most honest opinions. I would definitely go back!!! Read Less

A Vita is amazing! Everyone is always so helpful and professional! I trust Jetta's opinion 1000% and wear her work proudly ! Jazz pierced my nose and made it a breeze. Yesterday my daughter and I got tattoos from Jocelyn couldn't be happier! Read Less

Went to A Vita for a piercing fundraiser for a victim of sexual assault, they had me at hello. A cause so close to my own heart, and piercings. I was nervous because I only like to be pierced by my friend at lark vegas, or back home in Syracuse; but I took a chance and I am glad I did! Jetta pierced my conch and my friends septum, and she made such easy work of it I think my friend thought I was a little dramatic about how much septum piercings suck! Haha Jetta gave me some great tips for jewelry buying site which I promptly forgot and aftercare instructions, as usual. The shop was busy, clean, and everyone was friendly. Read Less

I got my ears pierced there. The atmosphere was inviting, the staff were great and Adriana who took care of me was AWESOME! She made me feel at ease and explain everything to me as she attended to me. Definitely will be back...Thanks Vita Tattoo, you all Rock!� Read Less

I've been going to Avita tattoo for a few years now. It's a great place with many talented tattoo artists. I tell them what I'm looking to get done, they draw up an idea for me and then they choose which artist would be best for my design! I've gotten work done by 3 different tattoo artists there and love all the pieces they've done for me! Avita rocks and they're not fake A** people trying to take your money, they actually care about there work and take it very serious ! Read Less

I was a walk in. The artists were quick to assist and managed to get me in. They helped me plan what I wanted to make sure I was really happy with the result. They gave me some instructions for after care and it was a great experience all in all. I would definitely go again. Read Less

Jetta did an excellent job on my custom ink, she made sure it was exactly what I wanted every step of the way. The staff was very welcoming and fun. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new tattoo or piercing �� Read Less

Went to see Jazz after a piercing emergency, but the entire staff at A Vita was amazing! The shop was immaculate, and atmosphere was very professional, yet friendly at the same time. I really enjoyed my experience (despite the circumstances) and look forward to working with them again in the future! Read Less

I go there for all of my piercings and I have to say I love everyone I have gotten. Everything is so clean and they really do know what they're doing. Great atmosphere, also I really love how open everyone is in there, great way to feel at home. I already know where I'm going for my 18th birthday to get a tattoo, mind set. Wouldn't go anywhere else! Read Less

Wonderful place to go. Tried them out one year ago with a tattoo & a piercing. Tattoo was free-drawn and ended up more beautiful than I even hoped. VERY knowledgeable about piercing - very thorough, sterilized equipment, excellent care instructions. I will definitely be back. Read Less

Got my eyebrow pierced there.  She made the holes way too close together so all my jewelry hung out way past my eyebrow.  I had to let it close up and go to Fast Lane Tattoo to get my other brow done.Before I realized she had screwed up my piercing, I went to get a little tattoo.  After waiting 15 minutes past my appointment time, I got a tattoo that needed to be touched up by my regular tattooist at Fast Lane, from whom I'll never stray again.Avoid.

John and Jetta are some of the best tattooers in the Albany area! They are so sweet, professional, and talented. I have been tattooed and pierced by Jetta many times and I will always go to her even though I've since moved away. Whenever I'm in town, I'll be getting some work done!Great location, clean shop, friendly and talented people - what more can you ask for! Read Less

I was a first timer when I walked in to get my tattoo so naturally I was nervous. Jetta was an amazing artist and she worked with me an extreme amount to get my tattoo perfect. Her and her husband are the cutest couple and they work together fabulously. They are two of the most professional and happy people I've ever met. They were amazing and they made a recurring customer out of me. Read Less
