The scheduling assistant, front desk staff, and Becca were awesome. I was on Becca's waitlist for about 18 months, drastically changed my mind about what I wanted when they reached out to schedule me, and then got the sickest turtleduck tattoo on Earth. Very accommodating and answered all my questions.

Great experience, amazing customer service from the front desk and tattoo artist Cody. We traveled from Alabama to NYC to get tattoos. Great atmosphere. I would highly recommend. Cody went above an beyond to make sure everything was what we wanted. Great guy and artist.

I had such an amazing experience at Kings Ave! I was a walk-in and Darcy gave me the most beautiful death moth tattoo. I couldn’t love it more! It’s healed so nicely, and I feel like it’s really a part of me. I feel like I should have been born with this tattoo, if that makes sense. If I ever get more tattoos I’ll definitely come back to Darcy! She was so efficient and kind and her work is flawless and stamp-quality. Thank you so much!

Got my first piece done here by Ann yesterday, and it was quite the privilege. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I am exceedingly happy with the finished piece. Truly, I only have positive things to say about the entire process from start to finish. Everyone I dealt with was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The space is beautiful, filled natural light, beautifully showcasing their collection of tattoo artwork on the walls of the studio. If you are looking for an amazing tattoo studio in NYC, just be sure to call ahead or make an appointment! I can’t recommend KA highly enough. I’ll be going back soon for sure. Edit: I just revisited KA this weekend to start my first sleeve after approx. 11 months. I did two days, Fri & Sat, with Ann, and am beyond thrilled with it so far. Looking forward to going back for additional sessions soon and more time in their beautiful studio.

Great place. Very clean, organized, felt welcoming from the set up of this last minute appointment to the time I left. Sarah, by the way she’s amazing and there was great communication and they just made it happen after a cancellation. I was looking for a walk in initially but I called first then they reached out back when there was availability. I landed a spot with Matt Adamson, which I’m grateful because I got an opportunity to discover and meet agreat artist. I had the design and what I wanted at hand and it took less than an hour to get in and out. The work was beautifully done, very solid and clean. And I left with what I wanted. My expectations were exceeded and I’m definitely coming back. Good vibes in this place.
