3D Tattoos in NYC

3d tattoos

Illusion and realistic tattoos have become super popular in the tattoo world. They are called 3D tattoos and use “shadowing” to make them appear to pop off your skin. This involves using different shades and layers of ink to create depth and realism. Not every 3D tattoo shop can pull off this level of detail and artistry.

Luckily, our 3D tattoo studio in NYC has been rocking awesome 3D tattoos for years. Our talented 3d tattoos artists NYC are experts at shadowing and have loads of experience perfecting their craft. Check out the tattoo designs our artists have created below for inspiration!

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.

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.
