Reviews

"I HAVE BEEN TATTOOING ON THE LOVE MACHINE WITH THE OWNER SIVAK FOR OVER 7 YEARS. I LOVE THE STUDIO! SIVAK IS A MASTER OF HIS CASE AND ALWAYS CARES ABOUT ME. LOVE MACHINE HAS SEVERAL TOP LEVEL PERFORMERS LIKE MASHKOV AND MEL. DON'T HESITATE TO APPLY HERE, IT'S THE BEST EXPERIENCE IN NEW YORK."

Michael Rodriguez

"The store itself is now HUGE. So much space! Clean, but with a lot of cool art. There is always coffee and tea, comfortable sofas, etc. I have always worked with Vasily Shedin, he is very talented and very easy to work with."

"I've been going to LOVE Machine for about 3 years now and couldn't recommend this place enough. All the staff and performers are incredible and very friendly. The new place is amazing, very clean and inviting. Denis worked on my sleeve and is an amazing artist. Truly the best. I also think it's important to note that artists love what they do and take great pride in their work. I won't go anywhere else. I would give them 6 stars if I could."

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

Contact the studio about the right option for your tattoo. For a small or medium piece, check the Street page and ask about current availability. For a planned custom project, send an inquiry first. Wait for confirmation before assuming a particular time or artist is available.

Include your idea, reference images, approximate size in inches, preferred placement and color preference. Add your preferred artist if you have one. For a cover-up, ask how to share a clear image of the existing tattoo.

Request a quote for your proposed design, size, placement and artist. Confirm the estimated total or pricing basis before booking, along with any deposit, cancellation and rescheduling terms.

You must be at least 18 to get tattooed in New York. Parental consent does not allow tattooing someone under 18. Ask the studio which identification to bring. Piercing has separate rules and studio policies.

Visit L.O.V.E.machine at 155 Lafayette Street, Ground Floor, New York, NY 10013. Use Get Directions to plan your route, and call (347) 601-9220 to confirm current hours before visiting. Ask the team about entrance or access arrangements.

Follow your artist’s instructions and review the studio’s Tattoo Aftercare resource. Contact the team if you need an instruction clarified. If you are concerned about a possible medical problem, seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional.

Contact the studio through the channel you used to arrange your appointment. Ask which deadlines and deposit terms apply to your booking; sending a message does not itself confirm a change.
