The Ink Cartel Tattoo, Rochester NY

Cody is my favorite, but you will not be disappointed with anyone. They will be your forever tattoo artist!

Could not recommend Ink Cartel enough! From the moment I sent an email, Dre was extremely welcoming and easy to work with. Dre and Kim
made us feel right at home and ensured we felt comfortable and ready. I am so impressed with the fine line work that Kim did- it’s exactly what we were looking for! I will be back!

Great experience getting a tattoo here. Good communication while setting up the appointment and then an awesome experience getting tattooed at a very reasonable cost! I'll definitely be back for future black/fine line work

Definitely recommend. Artist know exactly what they are doing and offer great insight. Pricing is very fair, and they have a great range of availability when it comes to appointments.

I love this place. Cody was very professional and really nice, he was very patient with us being indecisive. I love my tattoo and I'll definitely be going back.

I highly recommend The Ink Cartel to anyone who is looking to get tattooed. The environment is clean. The staff and artists are very friendly. Selena did a great job with my latest tattoo. I would definitely come here again for new ink.

I absolutely love this place had one of the best experiences of my life our artist was fantastic and did a wonderful job of our tattoos

How can I slack on sending a review?

My first (like very first ever) tattoo was done around May 2019, but we had to drive during a blizzard to see Austin, he was so kind to me and was very understanding of how nervous I was, but it turned out so great! It is a chinese dragon down my spine.

Second tattoo was done by Donovan, it is a snake tattooon my sternum. Even tho he is not there anymore, he was really nice too, awesome tattoo! This happened some time in 2021

Third time was the most recent one in March of this year; and it gave me so much happiness to see how much the shop has grown, with the same people there with more artists that are also great and talented!

Of course, Austin did my third one (floral piece on shoulder with a bee) and by staying loyal with one artist, I will continue to stay w him since he is the most down to earth person I can ever ask for from an artist.

JR did my boyfriend’s little bee tattoo as that is our symbol for our relationship

We even got bubble tea with the crew together when I was down there!

Austin, along with his ENTIRE team, has made and continues to be my favorite place to go get tattoos from.

If Ink Cartel were to travel to the other side of the world, I would travel just to go where they are. You can never get a better experience than going with this shop!

I will never in a million years ever stop referring this crew to my friends and coworkers. This place is irreplaceable, thank you guys for all you do!

Shoutout to Andre, he is the coolest and funniest guy you will ever meet! Take some time to chat with him, you will walk away happy!

Definitely going back to get another tattoo from Jr!
his ig is jr_the_artist
he did a damn good job and it was a great price too.

Was in town for a few days, and my friend and I wanted a friendship tattoo. Austin worked with me and was able to get us scheduled in with Cody. He did a great job and the price was great. We are both happy with the results, and I know this will be the place to go when Im back up. The atmosphere is relaxed and everyone there was amazing. If you're getting a tattoo, this is the place to go

Austin is my guy but everyone there is fantastic! Very friendly, outgoing atmosphere! I will be back many more times!

Super nice, chill, cozy spot. Right in the public market area outside of downtown. There's 2 hr parking right in front. Artists are super cool and chill too. I normally get tattoos done by Kim, but recently got one by Cody. I love all 3 tattoos I got from this establishment

The whole process was very awesome! J. R.was incredibly nice and very social during my session and seeing the whole process of making the tattoo and having it come to life was insane! Plus this visit was my first ever tattoo and even though a little bit of the tattoo was just slightly on part of my left ribs he said I handle those parts of the inking very well for a first-timer. Overall I love my tattoo now thanks to J. R!

I got my first tattoo there with Tattoos by Vigil! He books out because his work is so good! We'll worth the wait if you want quality art!
