"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

FAQ

New York tattoo styles are awesome! Traditional realism and color realism never go out of style. These tattoos are lifelike, detailed, and super realistic. New school tattoos, like fine line designs and miniatures with sharp details, are also trendy here. If you’re not sure what to get, book a chat with our artists — they’ll help you find the perfect style.

Tattoo prices depend on the design, size, color, detail, and where it’s going on your body. Each tattoo is unique, so message us on Instagram for an accurate price.

In general, yes, meds can affect the tattooing and healing process. Blood thinners can increase bleeding while getting tattooed, making it tougher for the artist and potentially affecting the ink’s quality. Healing can also be tricky with these meds. Some antibiotics can cause problems, too, since they might try to reject the ink. Every medication has different side effects, so it’s always a good idea to talk to your doctor before getting a tattoo to ensure everything’s safe.
Pain varies for everyone. Most people find it tolerable, and the result is worth it. Less than 1% of people find it so painful they need to stop. The beauty and pride of a tattoo usually outweigh any discomfort.
No, alcohol thins your blood and can make you bleed more, which makes the tattooing process harder and affects the quality. Avoid drinking before your appointment. Plus, drinking can make the healing take longer — the wound might bleed more, and the ink can get washed out. It’s best to stay off alcohol until your tattoo is fully healed.
It’s best not to. Regular painkillers don’t help with tattoo pain and can thin your blood. Some numbing creams exist, but they can affect healing. Always discuss any pain management with your artist first.
