Whatever Tattoo 17 Saint Marks Place, Manhattan, New York 10003

"Best tattoo and piercing shop "

"Welcoming, relaxed and accommodating staff. I only go to them for piercings. Pricing is very reasonable"

"I got my first tattoo on my forearm, it was relatively medium sized and I paid $280 for it. Anything bigger or something that'll take over an hour expect to drop $300+. My artist name was Jeff Fumer and he absolutely killed it. I came in with a design and he told me to email it to him and then he incorporated his own touch into the design and made it work, all within an hour. I literally watched his whole process. He was very patient and very chill, and answered all of my questions. I also want to shout out Helen, who works there she was the greatest. My best friend got an eyebrow piecering and it went well. She spent 45$ on it, and it went by super quick. Helen was also able to answer a lot of her questions. For tattoos they'll give you free oitment, for piercings they have saline spray I believe, for 10 bucks. The place plays some crazy music and it may look intimidating when you first walk in but you'll soon feel super comfortable and welcomed once you tell them what you're here for. Highly recommend this place. PS: My besties piercer was also named Jeff"

"Me and two friends went to Whatever to get tattoos and we knew we were in the right place when we walked in. We were welcomed by the very funny lady at the counter who took our licenses and gave us paperwork to fill out. Eric did our tattoos and he did a great job! He was very friendly and just a great person. I never felt uncomfortable in his presence. We left with our tattoos and second skin on top! We will be back when we visit New York again!"

"Love my two new piercings. I believe I paid $35 for the actual piercing on the flat part of my ear, and they put in the stainless steel earring that I had brought. I also got a piercing on my ear lobe as well which was painless. It was $25 for the earlobe piercing plus one of their $5 earrings. The man that did the piercing sanitized everything including my own earring. The needle that was used came new out of package. Thank you!"
