My 6 year old daughter has been obsessing (read: wanted but was super nervous) about her ears pierced.  After seeing all of the other great reviews I surprised her after school today with a trip to Tattoo Alley to get the job done!  Peter was super great with her, explaining everything and taking a time out when she started getting a little upset.  Once the first ear was done she realized it didn't really hurt that bad and took the second one without even a flinch.  Thanks for the great service and offering safe and sanitary piercing to children.

We just had my four month old granddaughter’s ears pierced by Peter. Peter was patient, kind and gentle with our baby and with us too! Super clean and sanitary shop! He had a great selection of earrings. Peter was very detailed about the earrings' placement and explained the entire process throughout. I would recommend Peter and Tattoo Alley if you want your baby's ears pierced! Read Less

Peter is amazing with piercings. Precise, steady, calm, polite, professional and friendly. All my piercings done by him (septum, tragus and nostril) have been very successful and did not get infected, unlike when I'd done them elsewhere. Absolutely recommend. Read Less

I went to peter based on a recommendation from another mom for getting my daughters ears pierced. He was so patient and kind with my daughter and helped keep her at ease. They were very professional and the place was extremely clean. He’s been available for all my questions , months after the piercings! Can’t say enough good things ! Read Less

Awesome experience. The staff is super friendly. They make you feel comfortable about what you are getting and work with you so you can leave the stop happy with the work you wanted. Definitely coming back for more tattoos Read Less

I had set up an appointment with Alex for a tattoo and had to reschedule and ended up cancelling. Peter the owner had texted me that I could reschedule once again to not lose my deposit. Which was very nice. The day of my appointment I was shown my drawing and Alex as well as Peter we're really nice during getting my tattoo done. My tattoo came out great and well done. Looking forward to getting more tattoos done here Read Less

Peter was amazing at piercing. I got a new piercing and it was so quick and painless. Healing really well. He also fixed a piercing that I paid double for somewhere else. Go to Peter! Absolute life saver! Read Less

Very pleased with the fantastic job Peter did piercing my ten year old daughter's ears. He was professional and kind, clearly an expert at his art as well as a caring person. The shop was clean and I was impressed with his thorough process to make sure everything was just right. My daughter is thrilled to have her ears pierced! Read Less

To make a long story short, I recently had a TERRIBLE experience at a nearby piercing place (StayOnPoint Tattoos-see review). I left there still in pain, which I know from experience just wasn't right, and so immediately googled something close by. Tattoo Alley was it. When I got there, the owner (?) Peter, was APPALLED at the job this other piercer did on me. He told me exactly what the other guy had done wrong, and most of all why it needed to be done correctly. It wasn't just a matter of aesthetics (which were bad), but that if I left my rings in as is, they would have never healed properly, not to mention would have just gotten tighter and more uncomfortable. Ugh! Peter was patient, knowledgeable, informative, honest, and to my extreme delight and relief, extremely gentle. In comparison to the other place where tears were streaming down my face, I literally did not even FEEL it when Peter swapped out the terrible rings the other guy had put in, and placed properly sized hoops designed specifically for a nose (if you can believe it, that's not what was put in my nose to begin with). This place might not be the cheapest (I spent probably twice as much here, though still not a lot) however, I think I learned my lesson about what is worth paying for and what isn't. I hope you don't have to learn the same lesson! Great place and highly recommended if what you need is a professional (and not some hack job). Read Less

Had my 6 month old daughters ears pierced here a couple of days ago! Peter was great! I had an appointment so when I got there he had a wide variety of earrings ready on the table for me to choose from. To be honest I was very nervous about getting her ears pierced. I did ALOT of research and read good things about Tattoo Alley. Like I said Peter was great and the place is very clean. I kept changing my mind about the mark for the piercing and he was very patient and took his time with us. I would definitely recommend this place! Read Less

I'm not one to write reviews but considering this was the best experience I've had, I had too. I found this shop on google and they have a 4.9 star rating and honestly they deserve it. I went to get my septum pierced and the guy (I think it's Peter, not too sure) was super confident and he looked like he knew what he was doing so I automatically felt comfortable. Before he pierced me he took a while making some measurements I guess and he ended up putting the piercing higher than I expected him too but he said it's cus I have a small face so it needed to fit my face size. And honestly I love it and I'm so happy he put it higher and it doesn't hang too much. 10/10 would recommend you going there. Everyone is really sweet and experienced. Thank you Tattoo Alley and Peter(?) Read Less

I went back to Tattoo Alley to get my septum piercing.  I went for my belly button and my other nose ring a few years ago.  It wasn't painful at all, just a quick pinch.  It was so quick I barely noticed.  I definitely plan on going back for more piercings! Read Less

I came to this tattoo parlor looking for a septum ring. I found out that my piercer (from another shop) had made my piercing too low which is why I couldn't seem to find a good sized ring. Peter was super helpful and offered to customize a septum ring to my size. He really went out of his way to do this for me which I'm very grateful for. I would recommend this shop for their great customer service! Read Less

My VERY apprehensive 8 year old finally agreed to get her ears pierced - along with two of her friends including a 6 year old. I know from bad piercing experiences that a good tattoo/piercing parlor is the cleanest safest place to get them done. Everything was clean and professional and he had a great selection of starter earrings. Peter talked very matter of factly and calmly with the girls; really making them feel at ease. my daughter who screams bloody murder at the sight of a needle kept it cool and sat thru both piercings. And not one tear was shed. I highly recommend it for kids , much better than one of those gun places in the mall. Read Less

Clean place with Very good artist.  Was nervous but they really worked with me.  Even brought my wife so she can get some piercings and they made us feel very comfortable.  If you are in the area definitely go if you want or need something done.  I forgot the price was real good for the quality of work. Read Less

Was seen immediately as a walk-in with Tyrone. I requested a small tattoo on the back of my neck and was perfectly OK with the $60 minimum charge. Staff was friendly & the place was very clean. I was disappointed though that after I was quoted the price & it was written down (by who I assume is the owner/manager) he wanted to charge me and additional $60 for a tiny dot on my right ring finger. I asked Tyrone if he could do it for me (since he already had the needle & ink out) and he was fine with it. After I stood my ground they dropped the extra charge, but ending the experience that way really bummed me out. Read Less

I went there to get my septum redone because the place I went to before did not do it correctly. Peter, pierced my nose did it to perfection. He was very patient with me and it actually did not hurt half as much as it did when I got it done the first time. Peter you Rock!!!! If you're in queens and need to get pierced make sure to go here and ask for Peter he's awesome! Read Less

Got my first tattoo here! They're professional and very clean. I love my tattoo, it came out great and so neat!! The letters look amazing. It's healing fantastically, I would definitely recommend coming here. I will probably be going back for my second one! Read Less

Great shop for a new piece of body jewelry, such a wide variety and the price is right, I highly recommend! And if you are looking for a great body piercer, Peter is your man, very gentle hands. Look no further! Read Less

I went somewhere else to get my piercing , however the owner Peter was a great help. My lip ring kept coming out when I would clean it or eat so it was getting infected. Peter took his time and patience with me to help get my lip ring back to a normal healing experience. I would def recommend going here, and I'll be back here to get more. Read Less

I went today to finally get my earring put in now that my helix piercing has fully healed. I came exactly a year ago with my best friend to get pierced. I got a helix piercing and I love it! The guy who did it was so nice, I think he was the owner. He helped us relax, since we were nervous and our experience turned out great.Very clean, he used a fresh pair of gloves for each of us and a fresh needle as well, very sterile. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone wanting to get a piercing or tattoo. He remembered me after so long and was still as nice and helpful as the first time. Very happy with the work of this place. Read Less

I found out about Tattoo Alley from two friends who had been coming here for a long time. I was a little hesitant at first, but I had seen my friends tattoos and how they came out, and so I was a little at ease. My tattoo consisted of a lot of line work and so I was also worried, being that this was my first tattoo, that it wouldn't come out good. I called Peter, to find out how much it would be, and it was pretty much a wrap from there. I usually always do my research on a place before I visit them, but for Tattoo Alley I didn't and I don't regret it. From the first conversation, Peter was so helpful and didn't hesitate to answer any of my questions. My tattoo artist, Tyrone, was awesome. He was patient with me given that it was my first time and his line work is impeccable. I love tattoo alley, and am planning to go back for another tattoo shortly! I was very pleased with my experience, and the prices are super affordable and not crazy expensive like some other tattoo shops I've been in. I love my tattoo, and I love tattoo alley for giving me EXACTLY what I asked for. The picture attached is the day I first got it (top) and then 6-7 months later (bottom). Still looks dope and fresh and I love looking at it everyday! Read Less

This is the best place to get tattoos and piercings. I got a tattoo few months back and the artist was great. I don't remember his name but he designed the tattoo so well that I didn't felt any pain and he is very light handed and patient. He worked wonderfully. I'm looking forward to go their again to get another tattoo and piercings as well. Read Less

I've gotten one tattoo here and it was awesome. I'm on a wheelchair and the owner made it really easy and comfortable for me. It was super easy to set up an appointment since you can text them or call them or email them. Their tattooers are very nice. I'm a 100% getting my next tattoo at tattoo alley. Read Less

I am hear to write a review on Peter, the extremely nice and patient man that pierced my 8 month old baby's ears on July 2nd at 5pm, the day my baby turned 8 months. I was very nervous like any mom would be but he was so gentle and patient with baby that my nervousness finally went away. I got a second hole on my right ear first before the baby's ear were pierced so I can see how bad the pain would be. The pain was so minimal. I was able to compare this pain and the pain I felt with an ear gun (previous piercing) and well, the ear gun SUCKS big time!! Not only did I not feel much pain but it was nice not to hear the loud click of the ear gun either. While I was getting mine, Peter had already cleaned the baby's ears and placed an ointment to numb the baby's ear lobe. We waited about 20 mins for the effect to kick in. The place was clean and everything was sterile - new packages were opened in front of me. He took his time placing the dots on her ears and made sure we liked it. He patiently waited while my baby was getting comfortable with her surroundings. When the time came to pierce her ears she was held tightly by my mom and Peter pierced her ears. Oh btw, he was also very patient with telling my mom how to hold her and walked her through everything. Yes, she did cry but she forgot about it as soon as we started playing with her to distract her from whatever she was feeling. I think it's pretty safe to say my baby felt a little more pain than what she usually feels after getting her shots at the pediatrician. For the mommies looking into getting their daughter's ears pierced in a safe, clean and almost painless place for their child I highly suggest this place. Read Less

Pierced my nose last night. Peter took all the proper hygienic precautions. He also spent about a good 15-20 minutes explaining the difference stud vs hoop placement on the nostril and made sure I was completely satisfied with the piercing spot. Read Less

Came here to get a Piercing and everyone was nice , I can't remember the guy who pierced me but he's very nice and he tries to make you feel relaxed and comfortable which is always good before getting a needle in you. Great place and good prices for piercings or tattoos! Best believe I'll be back here for either a tattoo or another piercing! Read Less

Had a tattoo done here a few months ago. Eddy was the artist, and he helped me figure out what I exactly wanted. I was having difficulties figuring out font sizes and he was more than glad to help. Since I got a simple quote, it's easy to see any flaws in the tattoo, but there is none! Eddy had such a steady and light hand and didn't cause any ink to bleed through. I came back two more times after getting it so that he can check up on it. Very helpful people, highly recommend and will be coming back for my next tattoo soon. Read Less

I just finished getting pierced and it was the best experience. Even though I was being dramatic with my low pain tolerance it was still the best experience and definitely worth it. The piercer who pierced me was gentle, patient and understanding. Thank you so much! Read Less

Just got inked for the 1st time yesterday and I'm so happy I waited this long to find the right artist and shop. I'm super picky and if I'm going to have something on me for the rest of my life I want it perfect. Eddie did my tat and I couldn't be happier im already planning my next one. The tattoo is so clean the lines are perfect and it's so good it looks fake! the shop is super clean the owner and artist are super friendly and so professional. Their prices are great. I will definitely become a regular. Read Less

The guy who works there Leo is amazing and the prices are a little high but worth the result. The only problem is they have a small space. Make sure to make an appointment or wait there for a few hours for a chair. Read Less

Super clean, super chill place. Peter is amazing and a sweetheart and will find you the right artist for whatever idea you have. Me and a few of my friends have gotten a few tattoos here and plan to come back for more. Love it!! Side note: Leo is my favorite one artist, he is excellent with black and gray, and realism.

I got two tattoos from Brian that are close enough together to be considered a half sleeve. I have a few other tattoos and I knew what I was looking for when I went in. First time I walked in to discuss my ideas with him, I didn't feel like I was talking to a tattoo artist. I felt like I was talking to a business owner who just so happened to sling ink as his trade. He was very professional and friendly. When I went in to get the outline done, he recommended a few minor changes that he felt would make both tattoos stand out a bit more and seem less cluttered. He never said "I won't do that" or "That's dumb", like artists I've encountered in the past in expensive Manhattan shops have said. He would recommend a minor change by saying something like "It would look better if I did it like this, and here's why I feel that way" and explain why, in detail. He works very fast, faster than any artist I've ever had tattoo me. I was shocked at how fast he was working, but I wasn't concerned about the quality. He's flat out the best artist I've ever had work on me. He just puts his nose to the grindstone and is  very work-manly about his business. If you want to chat, sure, he'll chat, but he can also work in silence too. Tattoos I'd gotten elsewhere hurt like hell, and I just thought that tattoos were supposed to hurt a lot. I said something to Brian about how gentle his touch was, and he explained that he doesn't need to jackhammer someone to get a tattoo to look good and stay bright for years to come. When talking about the aftercare instructions, it was kind of like talking to a medical professional. He really knows his stuff in that regard, which is refreshing. A lot of other artists will say "Don't pick the scabs, put lotion on it, it's all good." Brian knew the ins and outs of the healing process on different parts of the body. Like it says on the sign, best work, bright colors. They're both pretty colorful tattoos, and the colors really pop. As far as the quality of the work goes, I get compliments on them all the time. I'm sad that winter is coming and t-shirt weather is over, I really like having two amazing pieces that get a lot of compliments. I got these two for my mother, who passed away from cancer, and he was very respectful of that. The first thing he said when I told him that she had passed was "Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear that." I haven't gotten anything from the other artist in the shop, Drew. But I saw some of the sketches she was doing for customers and they were amazing. I stopped by one day to say hi to Brian, and Drew was working on a chest piece on a guy that looked great. The price was right on the money. It was about half the price of what a lot of the Manhattan shops had quoted me. While I was there, a few people stopped in to say hi, which I didn't think was too strange. After all, he's a small business owner, and it's just him and one other artist. And then I realized why people kept stopping in to say hi, it's because he's a very friendly guy. I'm glad I took the time to get to know him. I'm glad to call him a friend. If I'm walking past his shop and I see that he's in, I always make it a point to at least poke my head in and say hi. I recommend people to go to him all the time, I'm that impressed with his work. Best work, bright colors is right! He should add "best prices in the city and friendliest tattoo artist you'll ever meet". Read Less
