My cousin went in to get her belly pierced the place isn’t as welcoming TBH but who cares as long as they do a good job .The guy that did her piercing (did not seem like the owner) was SO rough she’s been bleeding for hours and it’s been super swollen. He twisted the tongs and her belly button like nothing. Then when done he rushed and pulled the tongs back and pulled the piercing with it. Hopefully it doesn’t get infected. He put his gloves on and was walking around the shop with them on also which I wasn’t a fan of either before even doing the job.It’s not her first time getting the piercing so it’s not like she doesn’t know the feel of it to say maybe she’s being dramatic. I was also there and saw even have videos.

Got my nose pierced here for like the 5th time. There’s never been an issue such an easy and quick process. I absolutely love the jewelry the piercer gave me I’ve gotten many compliments! Definitely non regrettable!

I went to get a helix piercing about a month ago from here. This wasnt my first time here for a piercing. My second time was horrible due to the quality jewelry they used for my helix. With expectation, Im assuming the jewelry used would be sterling steel. Two weeks after the piercing, it swelled up into a bump (at first which I thought was normal) alongside my ear started to turn black in the area of the piercing. My ear turning colors usually only happen if my jewelry is fake or is not sterling steel. I took the bold chance of changing the jewelry after purchasing actual sterling steel jew. and the bump and discoloring went away within a few days. Staff was nice but this is a poor job. I wouldnt trust getting another piercing here anymore.UPDATE: 5:02PMThe owner responded accusing my body of rejecting the piercing, when it fact it didnt. As soon I replaced the poor quality jewelry they used, my piercing began healing as it should have. Meaning it wasnt rejected. For the owner to deflect accountability for numerous people on this review should be a red flag not to get your piercings done here.

They answerd the phone respectful.I called them to see if they did piercings.After getting on the phone with the piercer I tell him what I wanted. He didnt even know what a labret was. Then he says Im going to charge you $65, and were NOT going to give you any jewlaryYou can get $25 piercings in passaic. I wont and would NOT recommend this place.

Review №14

If I could give 0 stars, I would. A few weeks after getting my nostril pierced, a bump formed underneath it pushing the jewelry to the side. All the symptoms pointed to a piercing rejection (fleshy bump, jewelry was being pushed to the side, any remedy used made the bump worse) but when I went back in, they looked at it for like 5 seconds and told me everything was fine and to just try the usual remedies for a typical hypertrophic bump. I didn’t trust it 100% so I went to go see another shop and I was right, the piercing was rejecting. Turns out, the jewelry wasn’t actual titanium steel, it was some cheap metal and was way too small. Don’t bother coming here unless you want unprofessionalism and scar tissues. Stay away!

Went last night with my two best friends. One got a piercing which was inexpensive, pain-free and beautiful. I got a tattoo which I love and for a great price as well.

I called about forty minutes before they closed and they said they could see me. I arrived and they were super friendly. The place is small but clean and laid back. I got the septum piercing and it cost $65. ALL my questions were answered patiently and the guy who pierced me was super compassionate. I was so nervous but he put me at ease. I thought it was going to hurt really bad but it wasnt bad at all. He did it swiftly. Im so happy and I am going to go for more piercings soon! Thanks!

This place is great, staff was cool as cucumbers and my artist did an amazing job on my tat. Took longer than predicted but such a friendly and outgoing staff made me want to stay even after the tattoo was done. I would rate this place more than 5 stars if given the option. WHEEL IS GREAT !!!!!!! already planning to get my other tattoos done from him and actually got the ideas from him as well ! also, me and my friend had an unnecessary emotional break down during the process and they helped up regain focus and took a break so we can regroup. Literally in love with this place.

I went in today to inquire about a nose piercing & a script tattoo on my foot. The gentlemen were extremely helpful & kind. I was able to get both things done on the same day.

Got a tattoo done this past Monday and couldnt be happier. I made an appointment only an hour ahead of time and it was no problem. My tattoo artist, Dave, made sure I was comfortable at all times. Dave is extremely skilled at his craft. He took the time to draw (and redraw) what I wanted until it was perfect. My tattoo came out better than I ever imagined! The entire experience was a pleasant one, from the friendly staff to the sterile environment. I will definitely be back!

I was greeted by David and amazed by the varieties of selections they had to offered. I met Dave the tattoo artist and I explained to him what I wanted. He drew it and it looked better then what I imagined. I had my last name tattoo on my forearm. His work is EXCEPTIONAL and detailed.The attention I received was if I was in a five star hotel. They took the time to make sure I was comfortable and they offered me something to drink. They were very professional and the price was less then all the other shops I have been too. The comments I received at work was AMAZING . I feel privileged to have had a great artist worked on my arm. I cant wait for my next tattoo. Thanks for a great experience..........PERMANENT CUSTOMER JAVIER.

My experience here was great! They were very patient, friendly, and insightful. They certainly made my first tattoo experience a great one and I am in love with the design they did. My artist even added in his own personal touches to my consent and they were an excellent addition. I will definitely be coming in in the future so I can finish a whole sleeve.

Love everything about this shop. All the artists are professional and great at what they do.Ser, with almost 30 years of tattoo experience, is the best artist/tattoo artist I know and am beyond satisfied with all the work he has done for me.I have also gotten pierced by Wheel numerous times and is hands down the best at what he does. Not only is he a talented tattooist, but is great when it comes to giving his professional/artistic advice towards piercings and what works/looks best, which I truly appreciate.Aside from the talent, the shop is very clean, which to me is just as important as the talent!The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable, which is a bonus.I love this shop and will continue to go here, as well as direct all of my friends/family to do the same, for all tattoo and piercing needs.Thanks again guys!!!

Went to addiction tattoo on 10/16/2014 to get my right nipple pierced. Bobby was such a sweet and nice person, and gave me some good tips for keeping my piercing clean and healthy. Will definitely be going back to get another piercing and probably even a tattoo hopefully. Also the price was not bad compared to other places in Jersey. I would absolutely recommend my friends to come here. Awesome.

Addiction Tattoo is by far the best tattoo shop i have ever been to! The customer service is great! Right when you walk in someone greets you nicely and helps you out. Tito helped me pick my tattoo out & gave me the perfect price for it! I felt very comfortable while getting my tattoo, Bobby, & Dave were talking to me while i was getting my tattoo, which what they were doing was distracting me from the pain. The shop is very clean, & sterile. Safe place to get a tattoo! Overall i loved this shop, loved my new tattoo & will be coming back to get the rest of my tattoos done! I HIGHLY recommend this tattoo shop!

Five star experience last weekend! I had been wanting a very personal tattoo done on my wrist for about 6 months now, and finally decided to do it one afternoon while running errands.I walked in, and James took me right away. After some discussion, he sketched up my tattoo and we were ready to go. I was in and out with my new tattoo in no time, and it’s better than I envisioned.The shop is extremely clean, everyone was friendly and the prices are very fair. I will definitely be back.

I meant to write this weeks ago but anyway, this place is amazing! I had walked in with a small idea of what I wanted my tattoo to be, and the artist that I was working with easily helped me finalize what I really wanted. The guys here are super friendly and create such an awesome atmosphere. I would really recommend Dave, the artist that I had, because he was so nice and understanding being that this was my first tattoo. He talked with me the entire time of getting my tattoo and the tattoo didnt hurt one bit. Definitely happy that I chose this place to get my tattoo :)

Review №52

A friend and I found this tattoo parlor on google, and it seemed to have good reviews so we decided on it. I had called the studio prior and asked what the minimum cost was for tattoos. We were informed that it was $60. We would be getting a simple, black, outline of an object so we figured it would be the minimum. However, once we arrived we were less than impressed. We filled out our paperwork and were brought to where the tattoos would be completed, which was in the middle of the room. There was a private room in the back, which was empty; however, they decided to put us in a very public place. The tattoos were going to be placed high on our ribs, meaning our bodies were generally exposed to everyone walking in and out as well. Once we met with our tattoo artist, he seemed nice; however, come to find out he was extremely rude with all of his actions. He was rough with the care of the tattoo while it was being completed and was just very unfriendly. He also finished the tattoo and then stated Its messed up. I have to go over it again. Terrified, he again re-did the tattoo. He especially tainted our experience with his actions, and words that were spoken to us. Finally, when we were finished, we were brought to the desk to pay, where we were told the cost was actually going to be $80, plus tax which was exactly $8, making the final cost $88 which was much more than what we originally told. Looking back, I wish we would have gone to a different tattoo parlor that is more reputable and personable. It makes me think that the other reviews on google are from the workers and those who wrote them actually did not visit Addiction Tattoo. Also, after looking at my tattoo, I continue to notice that the shape of one of the leaves is completely misshapen and not symmetrical. We will definitely not be back here and will not recommend this to anyone.

This place is probably one of THE best places to go to NJ! So far Ive received 3 tattoos from their artist Wheel. The first time i went in, which I wont ever forget was on 3/31/14. I remember being so nervous and when I finally went in Wheel managed to make me feel comfortable and relax a little. Since then Ive been coming back to add new art to my body! All the staff are very nice and give the shop a very relaxing vibe. The music they play is pretty awesome too! Ive had some really good experiences there and now theyve got me as a permanent customer! I would recommend anyone that lives in Jersey to come here and get some tattoos/piercings.The work is high quality and the staff are really chill!

I was a little nervous at first since I never been tatted here before but honestly I can say hands down, Wheel did an amazing job and I am satisfied with my tattoo and how addiction tattoo carry theyre business. I told Wheel I want roses in memory of my mom and designs that match my other tattoo . In 15 minutes he drew it out and asked how I felt about it and I fell in love with his work. I was still on the edge but I trusted him alil more now that I saw what he could do. And it all paid off Everything was legit, and my tattoo is healing beautifully Im so happy and theyre service was as if they knew me all I life. I highly recommend addiction tattoo if your trying to get tatted . And I will most definitely be back for another one.

I have been to this shop twice now and had work done by the artist Wheel (black and grey magician). Nothing but good things to say, about the staff and management. They do well to keep a family-friendly ambiance to make customers feel welcome and comfortable. The pricing might make you hesitant at first, but Dave has worked with me both times I have been there and has always been fair about it. A friend of mine got a color piece done by artist Javier and it came out beautifully. Definitely gonna be back for more.

A tattoo is a commitment. The ink is forever and so is the story. Ive been thinking about my first tat since I was 18 and now Im 21. I have asked many people where they had their tattoos done and where they recommend I go.I have researched many places, but when this place came up I noticed the reviews were solid. It was close to me so I thought I would go check it out. Its always better to go see for yourself anyways. I was trying to find a good place, for my ideas. I ended up finding more than that.The artist that helped me, his name is wheel. The kind of guy who doesnt have to speak about how good his art is. He is humble and honest. Also, how much creativity he holds, is insane.With all the detail I wanted, I wasnt sure if Id be able to fit everything I wanted into a certain area or just one tattoo.Wheel bounced ideas with me. The first time I told him about my what I wanted, we took about 2-3 hours sketching and researching. He tried more than anything and thats what I appreciate. He gave me his professional opinion. He stayed real with me the entire time. Letting me know what was possible or what wasnt. However, every idea and detail I had, he found a way to fit it in. Actually, he made it even better.The owner of the shop is friendly. Ive met him twice and I can tell he has a big heart and is extremely passionate about his work.The shop itself is clean, full of positive vibes, and has the most down to earth people youll ever meet.I wont be going anywhere else. Thank you for everything.

When I decided to put back a couple of piercings, of course I checked the reviews, there were about 40 reviews and the grade was 4.9! It must be a good place.I called first and decided to check the place, my idea was to maybe come back another day, but they were so cool that I decided to do it at the same time, even my friend joined and get her first piercing.Remember to bring cash!

After contemplating about getting a tattoo coverup for well over a year, I found addicted tattoo. I decided to go in and have them check out my tattoo to see what the best cover up would be. We decided on a feather, which had been my first choice. The workers and my artist, Wheel, were very personable. And the even better fact is that my tattoo came out amazing!!

Around 7:40pm we were wondering where to go to get tatted, since our usual place closes at 9pm. We came on Google and found this location. Addiction Tattooz. I am a person based on reviews and lemme tell you something, AMAZING, and very friendly. Why? Because, we showed up 9:30pm, and one of the artists had already left! Since my fiancé and I both wanted to get inked, the owner called back his artist and he was more than ecstatic to attend! Honestly the fact that they truly made us feel welcomed and prices were very reasonable due to the patience they have. They make sure that details are precise(:Sure its in Paterson, but its not the bad area if thats what youre afraid of. Theyre in a quiet area, so dont let that affect your decision. definitely a customer for life now! Clean environment, open spaces, comfortable(: Thanks to owner and the two talented artists❤️ Dave, Danny and Wheel! 🙌🏼

I got my first and only tattoo 20 years ago. I have been thinking about getting another one for some time now. Working in a hospital setting really cant have much showing. Do not want to raise any questions. I wanted to find a place with good reputation and good artists. Addiction Tattoo in Paterson NJ had the best reviews. I called them up to do a walk in. The place is very clean and the artists were very nice and informative. There was no pressure and no judgement that I did not want the tattoo showing to much. I was about to get it that day but happened to say that we were going to the beach next day. Instead of just thinking about the money, they said, not to do it because it will burn and will be messed up. So I rescheduled for next week. My artist did exactly what I wanted!!!!! The tattoo looks great!!! Wheels was my tattoo artist. The entire staff was great and treated myself and my family with respect. I highly recommend Addiction Tattoo in Paterson NJ. When I gave my artist a tip, (not sure if thats what people do) but he was surprised and very greatfull!!

Came here to get my nipples pierced a little while ago, a guy named Wheel did mine and he was absolutely awesome. I was so nervous but he was patient and really down to earth. Everytime I call back or walk in with questions/concerns he takes the time to speak to me (even when its busy). Definitely recommend.

Two years ago, Bobby Glennon did an amazing Cheetah head tattoo for me when he was working in Morristown. A few days ago, I came back to him for a music note tattoo. I wouldnt go to anyone else. He is incredibly talented and has an acute attention to detail. He is outstanding at doing realistic tattoos. I have recommended Bobby to two of my friends and will continue to recommend him to anyone who wants a quality tattoo. Not only is he an amazing artist, but he is also a genuine, down-to-earth person who is pleasant to talk to while he works.All of the staff at Addiction Tattoo were friendly and helpful, making my experience at the shop a positive one. I will definitely be back to Addiction for more tattoos in the future.

I went here to get my first tattoo ever. My friend and I chose this place based solely on google reviews. Reviews showed this place got all 5 stars in 64/64 reviews....seems so untrue. As my first time, I was very skeptical about getting a tattoo in general and had a lot of questions and I have to say im disappointed about my overall experience here. We called before we came in for basic inquiries, they told us it would be $60, then when we got there, it came to $88 with tax. The man who did our tattoo seemed inconvenienced by us. When he drew up our initial sketch, we asked for it to be smaller; he rolled his eyes and when he came back it was barely any smaller. Nervous, we just decided to accept and proceed. I expressed to him I was nervous and he didnt seem to care. He placed us directly in the middle of the room, when we could see there were more private areas available-- we got upper rib tattoos, so not very respectful that our shirts were completely up-- anyone walking in and out could see us. While he was tattooing me, he was very harshly dabbing my skin after applying ink. Before I got a chance to see my tattoo, he stated you kept moving, its messed up and I dont like it, so Im going to have to go over it again. I was horrified that I made a huge mistake. I dont believe he put his best effort in giving us what we were looking for and it definitely isnt his best work im sure. If I hadnt asked, he wouldnt have given me instructions on aftercare. So disappointed and wish my first experience was somewhere else.
