The best of Syracuse own and work in this shop. Please seek out Jon Davis, owner and gifted artist. Daniel Tinker, award winning American Traditional artist. And last but most certainly not least, Ven Pikarsky who has done the beautiful work that you see in the photographs below. The gentlemen who work here are both extremely professional and unbelievably creative. Read Less

Got my first tattoo by Donovan. Couldn't be happier. Its so well done and the shop is amazing. Got a certificate on Black Friday for Stephen. So excited to get more done. The shop is clean, really great aesthetics, and everyone there makes it a fun environment to be tattooed in. Had a bad experience at another shop (actually left without getting a tattoo kind of bad) and was so comfortable the moment I walked in for a consult at Vessel. Tattoos are there forever, get it done right by good artists here. 100 percent recommended! Read Less

My husband has been getting a sleeve done by Jon Davis and he has been amazing! We have two sessions down and probably two more to go. Everyone there has been nothing but kind and we highly recommend Vessel Tattoo! Read Less

I have three pieces and my third one was done by Donovan today and I can honestly say I have never had a better experience he's a great artist and does amazing work! By far my most favorite tattoo yet, I will definitely be going to him again for more! Read Less

So very happy with how my tattoo came out. Jon is an amazing artist. I didn't feel uncomfortable there at all, I am a super shy individual and usually have friends go with me when I get tattooed and this was the first time I didn't have anyone there but Jon made me feel so involved and "at home". I cannot wait to go back for more!!!! Read Less

Jon did my first tattoo a little over a year ago. We are now currently in the process of working on a full lower leg piece. An amazing artist with talent and skill. If you are looking for black and grey work look no further, You've found the areas best. Read Less

Jon Davis has done my last 3 tattoos one being a huge side one that took many sessions time and patience! His visions are beyound anything I could imagine I went in with a pic/idea of what I wanted he transformed it into my own personal artwork specifically outlining every detail and making it unique for me and not just a replica of the picture I brought. Because he's such a great artist I have booked future appointments already not even knowing what I am getting done but to have those spots available to me because I know he fills up months ahead of time! I will never go anywhere else Read Less

I love Jon's work I am addicted! He did a amazing side piece for me that took 6 sessions and roughly 10 hours the details are amazing. I went in w a picture of something I liked and at the end I had my own person beautiful artwork inspired by the picture I brought but genuinely made just for me by Jon! I recommend all my friends to him and his new shop! Read Less

Been going to Jon for 10 years and he NEVER disappoints! Just got another piece added a couple days ago and it's amazing! I love that I can go in with a pretty vague idea or request and he can come up with an amazing piece of art in a short amount of time! I tell everyone I know to go to Jon and always willRead Less
