No idea how there are bad reviews for this shop; once I started going to South shore for my tattoos I never left and get all my work done here! Everyone is super nice, beautiful work always, and a super clean shop 🤘🤘 thanks South shore, excited to finish my piece tomorrow!
I had my tragus pierced by John and it was a great experience. Not only is he clean and informative but hes genuinely a nice guy. Easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable. Ill definitely go back to him if I want another piercing.
My experience getting tatted by Camm couldn’t have been better!! She was so sweet and accommodating, the process smooth and most importantly she is so talented!! I decided to choose a flash piece, love it so much:) will be back soon!! Thank u:)
I got my first tattoo ever today from Jesse and I had an overall great experience! Before starting I let the artist know I was nervous and he walked me through the whole process and made me feel more at ease, also the workstation was very clean and he frequently changed gloves so I knew everything was sanitary. I was extremely happy with my tattoo and would not hesitate to go back to Jesse for another!
Absolutely amazing shop! Very clean and well kept in a prime location of Amityville. Everyone is super nice and friendly and they create a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you walk in the doors. Highly recommend for all your tattooing and piercing needs.
I had an appointment with john to get a simple earlobe piercing for my 14 year old daughter. It was never mentioned that i would need a notarized parental consent. I had to go to 2 banks which were closed on a Saturday at 2 pm.The guy at the front told me john could waive the notary but he would not even though it was his mistake and he new I traveled 45 minutes from the north shore. He wasted my day and was not apologetic at all. You do not need a notary if a piercing is not in cartilage. I am sure if i was covered in tattoos or piercings. It would have been fine. Thats just not me, i judge noone but i was definitely judged. If you are in the “ club” don’t bother with this place!
Im so happy about what I got done!! Amazing work. Thank you Marvin for this great tattoo. This tattoo means so much to me and it came out perfect !! I highly recommend South Shore Tattoo ❤️
Absolutely hands down, the only place I will go for my tattoos. My man Jesse is top notch and beyond amazing. The tattoos are beyond quality and the atmosphere is great. Solid all around shop and great friendly staff. It was a pleasure to get my work done here. Ive been here 2 times for bulldog portraits and Im beyond thrilled with the quality to detail and workmanship. Thanks again for another solid piece. Ill be back for sure.
Yesterday I accompanied my daughter to have her navel pierced by John. Neither of us knew what to expect. We arrived a little early and were greeted by friendly workers. John showed up almost immediately and led us down to his workspace. He is extremely perceptive and doesn’t hold back on sharing his wisdom. My daughter (she’s nineteen) was a bit intimidated by the “scary man” (her words) who proceeded to call her out on her life, skills, future plans, etc. Needless to say, it was really enlightening! It gave us both a lot to think about.John was completely professional and made sure that everything was well-sanitized. He even cleaned the iPad screen before my daughter used it to add her information. He changed his gloves multiple times and wiped down surfaces.My daughter was getting nervous about the piercing but he put her mind at ease. It was done quickly and perfectly, with minimal pain. John then gave her aftercare instructions.Upon leaving, we both felt great about the experience. “Scary man” John is competent, intelligent, open, honest and considerate. He’s a great, decent man who knows what he’s doing and offers advice at no extra cost!I highly recommend him to anyone thinking about getting a piercing. We will definitely refer customers to South Shore Tattoo Co.
Had a lovely experience here with Krista. She was extremely kind and patient, and a wonderful artist. The shop is very open and inviting, very clean, and everyone else there was also friendly and welcoming.
10/10. Clean facility, excellent staff, quality work.
John is the best piercer on long island. i recommend only him to people. hes super nice and easy to talk to, and makes sure every client is comfortable. hes very very knowledgeable and knows what hes talking about. he also provides top tier jewelry.the tattoo artists are all so kind! every single one of them has such a unique style and have amazing techniques. the building itself is quite comfortable and clean, especially in the tattoo area.
Went to Camm for an upper leg tattoo. She is super friendly and actually shares your excitement for the work you want done! made sure my visit was comfortable and easy. very light hand and makes sure you arent in too much pain. and of course, the tattoo looks great! the store itself makes scheduling and payment very convenient as well, with options to text to schedule and pay with venmo and paypal. definitely recommending this shop and artist to any friends or family who want new ink!
One of the best tattoo parlors in New York. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and extremely talented. The rates are reasonable and the artistry is better than any others in Long Island. They’re always giving back to the community in some fashion and seek to make clients feel comfortable when there. I’ve even had staff ask me if I wanted in on an order for takeout while being there for a few hours getting a piece done. I’ve been getting tattooed here for the last 6 years and never left dissatisfied.
I haven’t had the itch to get a new tattoo in a while. It’s been so long that I really don’t have a relationship with a shop or artist anymore. With that being said my wife and I had recently decided to commentate our 10 year anniversary with matching tattoos. On our way to lunch we happened to drive past South Shore Tattoo. We went inside and were warmly greeted by the young lady at the desk. Very different from most shops who usually seem bothered by customers. The shop was bright , clean and stylish. Camm, our tattoo artist came over to us and was just as courteous. She went to work on our design and tweaked it a few times until my wife was happy. The entire experience was great from beginning to end, so much so we went back a week later for my mother in law to get her first tattoo (bucket list item). Everyone at the shop went out of their way to make her totally comfortable.Today feeling the itch again I went to the shop and had the same experience but this time with Mike the owner. I had no appointment but Mike managed to squeeze me in and banged out a great tattoo. I can’t say enough about this shop. I am completely impressed with their operation. Clean, courteous, professional. I won’t go anywhere else and I highly suggest you do the same if you are interested in getting tattooed. Thanks guys A++
Amazing shop! I was referred to John after a few bad piercings, I’ll only ever go to him now. I have very sensitive skin, but the jewlery he uses allows my piercings to heal with no problems what’s so ever. He truly is the best piercer on Long Island.I’ve also got two tattoos from Kailee. She’s amazing and extremely talented. I know many people who have gotten tattoos here from other artists, and they all look amazing.This shop is clean and full of talent. I’d give more than 5 stars if i could!
Got my two tattoos there and will be returning to add more soon. The shop was very clean and attractive - full of awesome artwork throughout. The staff was friendly, professional, and funny - which made the process a pleasure from start to finish. Mike was extremely knowledgeable and helpful as he walked me through my first experience with getting a tattoo. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for quality ink.
The parlors is clean and well maintained. The staff is very attentive and accommodating. I was looking for a new tattoo artist that has creative ideas and can bring my ideas to life. G-Mike was the guy he was kind and assuring while providing any advice you need. i will be back to finish my sleeve. I am very please with my new ink and would recommend that anyone who needs new ink to check them out! you wont be disappointed.
Didnt personally get a tattoo here but came to watch a friend and it had to be one of the cleanest shops Ive ever stepped into. My friend got lettering from Jesse there and it was so clean and amazing. He does great work! I would definitely recommend and plan on getting a tat there at some point!
I have been to a few different tattoo shops and never felt as comfortable as I have when I came to this awesomeEstablishment. I got 3 tattoos so far all from Mike Nomy who is unbelievably talented!!! I havent had the chance to work with any of the other artist but Im usually faithful to the one. I have seen the other artists on friends and see the pictures posted of work done and its all impeccable. When I say artist these guys are true to their talent!! The shop is awesome and clean! I will never go anywhere else !!!
First time at this tattoo parlor and they were great. We got 6 tattoos in total today( myself, husband, 2 sons and his girlfriend). It was my sons gf 1st tattoo and Jesse was so patient and great. We also got tattoos from Camm and Nikola were awesome. Thank you everyone will definitely come back again. Clean and professional.
Ever read a review and it’s nothing like you had pictured? I read a lot of reviews about South Shore Tattoo and stalked their Instagram to see the kind of work they did. This was my first tattoo in 15 years and I wanted to be sure I picked the right place. Let me tell you EVERYTHING written about how they make you feel when you walk in, is true and more. This place is like walking into your best friends living room and having a 3 hour conversation. I was so comfortable and at ease the whole time I was there. This establishment is super clean and chill that i’d rate it higher if I could!
Could one describe a tattoo shop as being cozy? Well that is exactly the way I feel when I first walk in. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the shop is clean; between each tattoo you will see the artists cleaning and sanitizing their respective area. In addition I love their work. I definitely plan on being back again for another piece in a few months.
Ive gotten 3 tattoos from this shop from 3 different artists. Theyre all extremely talented and professional. The new shop looks great and is immaculately clean. Ive recommended this shop to friends who are now repeat customers! Cant wait to make my next appointment!
Jay Gorman gave me a great tattoo! My mother passed away a few weeks ago and I came from Texas to Long Island to see her, but Jay was one of my moms neighbors and his son shoveled snow for her sidewalks and driveway for years. I went to talk to them and let them know what happened to my mom. In talking to Jay, I realized, it was time for a new tattoo and emotionally was thinking of getting an American traditional heart and scroll, Mom. But, that didnt really fit me stylistically tattoo wise, personality wise and she was anything but traditional. 90 years old, lived by herself and still drove, so it had to be something unique and original. Jay and I talked, looked for something that would work and we somehow got to Trash Polka. That was it! She even listened to the Polkas on the radio every Sunday afternoon A Trash Polka Heart and MOM in a banging font.Jays design was killer and everything I wanted and more.The shop was nice, clean and friendly with a nice vibe to get tattooed in.Jay was professional, his application was spot on, but, tattoos should mean something and it basically lasts your entire life, so be happy with it, before the needle hits the skin. His patience and ability to work with the client and make it a joint effort, is huge.Come with ideas, listen to his ideas, make some mutual decisions and put yourself in his hands, youll get a great tattoo and have an outstanding experience.Thanks again Jay!
Very nice shop, clean, updated, great atmosphere. I am very pleased to have chosen South Shore and John Alonzo, the piercer, off the APP site. Great experience with the piercing and the jewelry is top quality.Like a professional, John would not pierce another part of my body because it was not conducive to piercing. Thank you John for the beautiful piercing job, easy healing, and for being a consummate professional.
Super impressed! Very clean & professional setting. Way friendly staff. Went in for a nose piercing. JOHN did a awesome job. He was social so IWasnt as nervous. He did a great job & I didnt only felt a pinch. Very clean & professional.
My go-to tattoo and piercing parlor. everyone that works there is so talented and unique, its always a blast to be here. look them up on instagram to get a feel for how amazing their artists are. you wont be disappointed!
I’ve got to SSTC a few times to get pierced. Tonight, I had the pleasure of meeting John. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does! I would 100% recommend (and have) to anyone looking for an excellent piercer. Eventually, I plan on getting tattooed here, as well!
I have gotten three tattoos here by Justin...absolutely love the guys here! Amazing work, always what I want, and incredible talent and detail! My husband has gotten god knows how many tattoos by Mike Nomy and all his work is amazing! All around great people, down to earth, fun to hang around them!
Everything in this shop is consistent. From how clean it is, to the service they give. I got a nose stud, came back for a hoop after it healed. I would recommend coming here for all nose piercings from John.
This tattoo shop loves to STEAL designs, not credit the original artists, then proceeds to block anyone who tries to speak up about it!! super unprofessional, dont get ur tattoo here. get a real artist that has the skill and creativity to make their own designs
Got about 5 tattoos here including one big piece and they will always be my go-to shop! Every artist has their own style so youre bound to get what youre looking for. Everything is extremelyClean and the overall vibe is super positive!
John is awesome, if I get another piercing itll be here!
Kailee Love is the most detailed artist Ive ever been too and she really takes her time with her customers. The other artists are all friendly and super helpful. The building has a great interior too, overall 5/5 experience
Open, bright and immaculate with a friendly and talented staff. Will definitely return.
Yesterday I had my first appointment with Jesse and the work was fantastic. He is a very talented, professional artist and I would recommend him 10x over.
They were all amazing! Very helpful and very kind. Got my first 2 tattoos there and hopeful get more there. I recommend going to them. Made me feel comfortable. Loved every minute of it. :)
Absolutely the BEST! My first tattoo ever...and Justin was fantastic...what an awesome job he did ! Thank you so much for the most wonderful tattoo...so much more beautiful than I could ever envision..you are such a great artist 🎨!
There piercers are the worst! my husband got his nose pierced here and they peirced it at an angle so for the past 7 months his piercing never healed and has been irritating him since and they charged use $80! He had to get it re perirced by a professional in another state for $15 also in NY any one can walk into a shop and say their a peircer with absolutely no experience so be carful
Amazing place, I arrived super late (not even remotely close to the time I scheduled) and they still stayed super professional and welcoming. Super friendly, amazing tactics(barely even hurt) and all in all outstanding customer service . Definitely go here, they gained a loyal customer today ❤️
OMG! Justin created a beautiful remembrance tattoo for my son that passed, he nailed every sentiment possible, AWESOME! He was such a pro! An artist through and through! Thank you for bringing my sons memory to life in my tattoo.❤️🌻
This shop is awsome. Iv had 6 pieces done there ranging from Palm sized 1 hitters to a 20something hour side piece. The people and atmosphere are great. Its clean and professional with a famly like vibe.Prices are always fair. In reality the quality of work they put out is worth more then they charge.Each of the core artist have there own style and produce some awsome work.
John is the ONLY piercer I will go to, super quick and clean. I have never had a problem with any of the piercings I have gotten from him, and I have incredibly sensitive skin
I got my first tattoo here. Very professional and they did a great job. Its been 8 months and I never had any problems with it. I would highly recommend this place!
Originally wanted music notes down the back of my neck but Nomy came up with an idea to make it more meaningful. I chose the song Free Falling by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and he made the notes to the beginning of the song in a falling motion down the back of my neck. It is my favorite tattoo of all the ones Ive gotten. Professional, talented, clean shop. Highly suggest coming here for your next tattoo!!
I love South Shore, it will always feel like home. They are a fantastic, clean, reliable, and professional shop. I always reccomend them for both tattoos and piercings.
Camm did my day of the dead chu on my forearm. Best ever. She is awesome. Came out great. Also does really good line work
I got my septum pierced by John Alonzo and I am so happy with it! It is healing still but the experience was great and everything was very clean.
I was super nervous to get my first tattoo until I met Bryan. The Celtic cross he gave me would make my ancestors proud. Will be coming back for my next.
If I could leave 0 stars I would. The artists like to steal artwork from other artists and belittle them and delete comments/block them when asked to credit said original artist. Definitely don’t recommend.
John did an excellent job piercing my daughters ear with an industrial bar.
Very happy with my tattoos from Justin here. I recommended that anyone I know who wants a tattoo to go to him. Fast and precise!
Love love my tattoo by Bryan absolutely recommend this place , very nice people there to accommodate you when you have a busy schedule
I got my tattoo done here by Kylie and it came out amazing. They exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be back for the next one
Fantastic service, amazing tattoo artists. Highly recommend! Definitely going there again for future tattoos.
Jay Gorman is super talented artist and great conversation throughout the tattoo! Highly recommend!!!
Love John the piercer! Everything is super clean, highly recommended.
Had Jesse do my tattoo of my daughters footprints. Line for line everything came out perfect!
I made my first tattoo ever in there. Couldnt be better. Good price and friendly staff.
Great place to get tattoos. Sarah is my go to. 🤘🤘
Great spot. Great artists. Love my tattoo! Will be back for sure.
Great people, great artistry.... very, very clean. Was so good I got 2 tats!!!!
I’ve been here twice so far and each time I always come out happy. Great atmosphere and fair pricing for great work
Everyone here is super chill and nice and the artists are fantastic! Very professional and comfortable atmosphere
Love this place! I cant find another place who are as talented as them and with a better price. Camm is amazing!
Got one of my biggest pieces done here and they are great. Very clean and nice!
They plagiarise other artists designs, and then harass the artist when called out on it.
Artistic skill! Cleanliness! Vegan supplies! Personable artists! Every style represented!
Got my Friday the 13th flash here :)
If you want to get a great tattoo it has to be by Bryan
Great artists here. Nicole is phenomenal.

2022-06-28I was tattooed by Bryan Boe, as recommended by my best friend, and it was the best tattoo experience ive ever had. The shop dynamic was friendly and welcoming, and Bryan was so kind and considerate. Bryan consistently asked me if I needed breaks, how I was doing, and overall a great listener when I expressed my needs. I was informed about each step, extremely comfortable, and the tattoo came out beautifully. After my tattoo was done, I immediately made a follow up appointment for my next tattoo.If you’re on the fence about getting tattooed at this location, or by Bryan, I would HIGHLY recommend it. You will not be disappointed.

2022-03-22Really solid tattoo shop, super clean and everyone is pretty friendly! Whatever you want done they can definitely do! Ive seen Brian a few times and have always felt safe and comfortable with him (plus his shading is to die for). A few friends of mine have used Cam and have similarly enjoyed her and her work! Great place if its your first time as well.Quick edit:Just wanted to add I also got my nose piercing here, Ive had about 13 ear piercings but only just got around to my nose and their piercing artist is great! Took his time, did a great job placing it and was suuuper clean like... def put some of the other piercers Ive had to shame lol. He was also very helpful with changing out my jewelry a few times when my nose got swollen!

2022-02-28John is amazing!! He is super professional, clean, and REALLY has an eye for placement!! His very open, honest way of talking and owning himself made me feel comfortable right away. I could not have asked for a better experience. I would give more stars if I could!!

2021-10-28A very close friend of mine recommended this shop to me and it’s the spot I’ve been going to ever since. Southshore tattoo is the best tattoo shop there is on Long Island and I tell everyone to come here! Bryan has done my past 5 tattoos and they all healed very well plus look amazing! I also bring my mom here to get matching tattoos with me. It’s always very clean when I go inside the shop and the whole staff is very nice. I will be coming back again one day, thank you! 💕

2021-11-13John the piercer is great! Attentive and very good with my 14 y.o. daughter who had her cartilage pierced. Great stories, great words of advice. Will be returning for my own piercings, as well as seeing Jesse Lee for new tattoos!

2021-07-08I got my nose pierced by John this afternoon. I arrived 15 minutes early and he took me as soon as I walked in. He helped me pick out my jewelry and we got started (after a $40 deposit, the jewelry was $40 so $80 total for the piercing). His station was very clean and organized, which is definitely important. He was extremely kind, making sure I was okay and he was joking around with me, which calmed my nerves. He thoroughly went over the post care instructions and I was out within 30 minutes. I would definitely get pierced by him again. Extremely knowledgeable and professional!
