Three Kings East Village

I just got my tattoo here and I love it! The artist here is really professional and the atmosphere is great. The whole process went through smoothly: you can just walk in and there’s no long waitings. I brought my own picture but they also have a lot of designs. Really appreciate their artist for giving me such a nice tattoo!

We asked our tattoo artists back home in Seattle for a NYC recommendation. Immediately they said Three Kings. We visited both the Brooklyn and East village locations and both crews were super friendly and fun to talk to. We managed to both get tattooed back to back the next day by Lorena. She drew a killer design quick and got us going. Tons of laughs, awesome artist, great afternoon at the shop. They even had to deal with a really difficult customer while we were there. They handled it like pros and still had a great mood. Killer clean, nice shop, all around excellent people and artists. I could go on and on, but, THANKS LORENA AND THANKS THREE KINGS! YOU GUYS RULE.Service: Tattoos

I got my first tattoo there from a walk-in and it was a fantastic experience! Ed was a very kind, calm, and supportive artist who also created the tattoo idea perfectly. I can’t recommend them enough. Everything was clean, the staff was friendly, and I felt comfortable the whole time.Service: Tattoos

Got my first tattoo here. Incredible place, lots of positive energy. Everyone was helpful and kind. This is the sort of place you’d want to come back again. Mine was a walk in, Mister Nikita was doing walk ins at the time. I had a general idea of what I wanted and Nikita helped me choose the right tattoo. He was very patient, explained a lot of things and gave me tons of material to choose from. The final tattoo is also super cool, and I’m stoked about it. He’s damn good at what he’s doing, so I would def recommend him! Overall 10/10 experience. Would recommend this place to anyone new to tattooing!

Came all the way to the city to get tattooed by one of the artists here. A unique design to be sure, but I was warmly welcomed, listened to and after five hours in the chair was more than happy with the finished design. Clean shop, talented artists, and a great positive outlook made this a wonderful experience and I will only ever speak highly of this shop and Ben Scott the artist there.Service: Tattoos

My partner, our best mate and I are visiting from Australia and were walk-ins. Staff very friendly, chill and professional. The receptionist was really nice, explained everything and offered wifi to help with online paperwork. Our very talented tattooist Anthony Pereira did everything we requested and made our friend's first tattoo experience one to remember. I've lost count of how many tattoos I have however Anthony has also made this experience, for me, one to remember. Staff also informed us of a bag we accidentally left at the shop, we really appreciate their personable services. I will definitely be recommending to friends, family and randoms who visit NYC and are looking for tattoos to hit Three Kings up! = Thanks again guys Keep up the good work!Service: Tattoos

Super comfortable place with friendly staff. I got a tattoo with Anthony. He was very patient with me and made sure I loved my tattoo. He was very nice and did an amazing job! I highly recommend this place to get a tattoo :Service: Tattoos

This shop is great. The vibe and atmosphere is cool too. All the artists are accommodating and awesome people to talk to. I’ve gotten many tattoos here and never disappointed with the result. I’ve made appointments and gotten quick walk-in tattoos. If you have an elaborate idea and a big project definitely suggest making an appointment. Sometimes getting a walk-in tattoo gives you that rush and adrenaline as well along with the experience. As long as the tattoo is simple… haha. The shops artist’s can do various styles, which makes three kings a versatile tattoo shop. Check out their Instagram. Overall this shop is great and would recommend it to anyone who is looking to get tattooed.Service: Tattoos

Lorena gave me my first tattoo today and I absolutely love it! It’s clear that she is incredibly skilled at her craft. She was also very kind and funny to chat with during my session. Cannot recommend enough.

Very clean and calm environment, went there for my first tattoo with Ben and it was a great experience! My second time there however I had a different artist, Dustin, and although he did a good job it was a bit of a hassle before even getting tattooed. I wanted it placed on my forearm facing myself. He fussed a bit about not wanting to tattoo the piece because of the direction and placement I wanted it, saying it’s not traditionally how they’re placed. So I ended up just putting it somewhere else so he could do it, and with that he didn’t even tattoo the piece the way I wanted it, and left out a lot of parts. He kind of just drew his own version. Don’t get me wrong he was very interactive during the process and was being very cool, but i can’t help but feel it was a result of me giving in to do it how he was “comfortable” doing it. Which is frustrating because getting a tattoo should be about what the person getting tattooed prefers and not what the artist prefers. So the least he could have done was do it correctly. I would return but I don’t know that I would have him tattoo me again.
