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.

Frequently Asked Question

What is a New School tattoo?

New School style tattoos are like a mash-up of old-school American Traditional and Neo Traditional styles with bold black outlines but crank up the fun with bright colors and wild perspectives. Think video games, anime, comic books, and cartoons brought to life on your skin. They’re all about:

Cartoonish shapes.
Bold black lines.
Vibrant colors.
Exaggerated features.

If this sounds like your thing, come to Love Machine, NYC!

What size should I anticipate for my New School tattoo?

New School tattoos usually go big and bold, often covering entire backs or arms. Even though newbies might want to start small because long sessions can be tough, sometimes it’s worth going all out for a fantastic piece. Talk to your artist to determine the perfect style and size.

Will a New School tattoo last?

These tattoos are built to last, keeping your favorite characters and ideas alive forever. But since they’re super detailed, they need some extra love. Follow the aftercare instructions and keep your ink safe from the sun to ensure it stays fresh and vibrant for years.
