My best friend and I were in NYC and wanted to get a special matching tattoo. IGLA was able to book us both with Ariana and she was INCREDIBLE. She created a beautiful and meaningful tattoo for us and was an absolute pleasure. She was so great that I got second one on the spot. The studio was quaint, clean and welcoming. We will be back for sure!!!

Sergio was awesome! He was very patient when I was picking fonts and sizing, and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. And I love my tattoo! The studio itself also had a great vibe.

I scheduled a session for two small wrist tattoos with Stephany and could not be happier! The whole team was super attentive, and the location has great energy. Stephany worked with me to ensure my design was exactly what I envision. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!

Ariana was the best! The tattoo I received from her is now my favorite tattoo and it is all because of the quality of her work! She was so detailed, knowledgeable, and overall a cool person. In sketching out the piece, she really took the time to ask questions and ensure it was exactly what I was looking for. I loved the detail in shading that she added too. She checked in with me often to make sure I was feeling good throughout. She made me feel very comfortable and it was great chatting with her. I absolutely love my tattoo and I will definitely be coming back to her for more.

I had the best experience with Holly today! This was my first tattoo, and I couldn’t have asked for a better artist. You can tell she genuinely cares about her work and wants you to love your tattoo. I’m so happy with how mine turned out, and I would definitely trust her again! I would always recommend her ❤️

Came as a walk-in and Holly was great. She took the time to try out a few different sizes and placements, and the end result is really delicate and lovely. 10/10 recommend!

They were so accommodating, even with us walking in right before closing. The artists collaborated with us and with one another to make sure our design and shading was just right. I LOVE how my tattoo turned out! Stephany is very skilled and made the whole experience very pleasant. Will definitely be referring friends here and coming back myself next time I'm in town!!
