The Curly Wolf Tattoo Club, Albany NY

Clean space. Professional atmosphere. Wife and I have multiple tattoos from Ian and are very happy every time. 10/10

Ian and his shop sets the standard for both professionalism and cleanliness. Ian’s artistic ability speaks for itself- but his class and respect for those around him is what sets him apart

A very clean shop with awesome vibes and great artists. The owner Ian is always professional and makes me comfortable and keeps me laughing. I’ve been going to him for almost 10 years and recommend him to everyone! Highly recommend this shop.

I can not say enough good things about Ian, his shop and the incredible work he does. He has done around 10 tattoos on me and many more to come. He makes sure you get a tattoo you love. The healing time is always quick and fast. Highly recommend.

Ian is a FANTASTIC ARTIST! Even with the location being on Lark street. I truly feel comfortable and safe every time I come here. I visit MONTHLY for my tatoo therapy and won't go anywhere else

Get the best work here, never have a complaint. Travel 2 and a half hours from Massachusetts to this shop just because I know I’m in good hands with the best artists

This is a very professional, accepting, and welcoming tattoo shop. The artists are consistent with their fair pricing and excellent skills to create masterpieces, I had chosen a back piece to honor my late grandmother and he (Ian) executed the process perfectly, made me comfortable and I felt safe walking into, sitting down, and leaving his shop. A+

I get all my work done by Ian. Great dude and a great shop. Highly recommend him and his crew.

The owner Ian does amazing work! His shop if filled with talent! If you are looking for a new tattoo or piercing check them out. Hands down the most enjoyable tattoo experience ever!

I got my first tattoo at 50 years old by Ian at the Curly Wolf Tattoo Club. I am not a fan of people getting that close or touching me so that always held me back. I have friends that are artists and tattoo for a living but never felt compelled or comfortable enough to get one done.
After seeing his artwork I was extremely impressed and it fit my style. We had a conversation about doing one and his approach put me at ease. I now have 8 of his works of art tattooed on me and he will be the only one who will ever tattoo me. My girlfriend and daughter also sport his truly amazing art.
FTW

Erin does amazing work! Got my lobes and nose pierced and she was so kind and considerate. 100% recommend if you’re a first timer that is nervous!

Erin is the best! She made us extremely comfortable and suggested another piercing that would fit my anatomy! Thanks Erin!

I got a tattooed from Josh and he did a great job on my tattoo! He Was patient with me and did how I wanted it.

Always a superb experience at the Curly. I get all my tattoos from Sharky and he never disappoints. Clean, professional and gets your tattoo done in the blink of an eye. He ain’t hard to look at either, if u know what I mean. Frank the shop manager is like a dog with a bone, tenaciously keeping the place running smoothly day in and day out. If you’re looking for a piercing, Erin is your girl. She did my nose about 6 months ago and it healed up perfectly (despite my *slightly* less than perfect adherence to her aftercare instructions). Head to the Curly Wolf and ask for Sharky! You won’t regret it!

Been seeing Shark at The Curly Wolf for probably 12 pieces.always great work and a great experience.laid back atmosphere and cool vibes

If you’re looking for dedicated life long artists who leave their mark via incredible works of art on your skin then you should come down to curly wolf. I’ve been getting tattoos most of my adult life and until I met Ian and Shaun “Sharky” at curly Wolf I didn’t realize what I was missing. Sharky and I sat down conceptualized, designed and created my sleeve, from raw thoughts to his iPad to my skin. We started April 3rd 2022 and finished a full sleeve April 20th Start to finish two and a half sessions. His speed consistency and delicate touch made the experience worth every penny. I’ve received over a dozen tattoos from Sharky and everyone better than the last. If you’re in the market for a tattoo stop in mention my name and you’ll be in good hands. It’s a big deal getting ink from Someone as you’re connected for life and I wouldn’t have it any other way. The guys at curly wolf are family now.

Sean does amazing work! Very skillful and everything I’ve had done by him always heals great even my fingers which is a tough area he’s able to pack in lots of detail in small areas and make them last. He also has his own unique style which is very well known. If you see one of his designs on the street you can instantly tell it’s his awesome work! Get off the couch and book him now!

Unreliable and unprofessional. When confronted about the unproffesionalism the employee tried to fight me and two other employees acted like they didn’t hear what was going on. Which to me makes them complicit. 100% wouldn’t reccomend.

Never a bad experience. The majority of my tattoos are from @tattooshark
Highly recommend
