Tenderfoot Studio

"I recently worked with Phia and only have good things to say. They are a gem and were wonderful to work with, having that mid-western charm. They sent a sketch before the appointment which is a luxury in the industry and I greatly appreciated it. The studio is upfront with pricing so I had a general idea of what I was going to pay. It's NYC, tattoos are going to cost a lot when you work with talented artists! Definitely recommend all their artists, Phia, especially."

"My artist did beautiful work and I loved my experience. However, scheduling a touchup has been quite tricky. Please keep in mind if you are travelling. I came from the west coast and was told by my artist that my color would need to be finished at a later date. No problem. Scheduling a follow up has not been easy, and so far hasn't happened. For a $1400 tattoo I'd love to show it off with pride."

"TFS absolutely exceeded my expectations both on the level of work, which I already knew would be world class, but also on the culture, welcoming nature, and vibe of the studio. Walking in for the first time I felt comfortable, excited, and safe. I felt no judgement and very welcomed. Such a nice vibe, especially with a newb like me getting their first tattoo. TFS have built something special, from the design of the studio to the artists and support team. I appreciate that I was able to take part in it. The process for the design and execution was a true collaboration. All along the way the artist and team @ TFS made sure I was comfortable and enjoying the process. Upon completion their team was engaged to insure that I had everything I needed for aftercare and make sure I was 100% satisfied. Bottom line, I love this studio and I'm already planning my next appointment."

"I was lucky enough to get an appointment for a flash tattoo from Pony. The studio was easy to find, Pony greeted me at the door and gave me a few sizes to choose from while I finished the paperwork. They were patient and never made me feel rushed. I chose my size and they printed out a stencil. Placing was great, again, Pony never made me feel rushed as we figured out the exact right placement. The tattoo experience was perfect - and the result is amazing. I love this piece and feel really lucky that I got to work with such a great artist! I'll definitely try to get more work done here - it's such a comfortable, welcoming environment and the artists are amazing. Highly recommend."

"Everything about my experience with Tenderfoot Studio was fantastic! From the start, both the studio and the artist I worked with were super responsive to email inquiries and my submission for work. Ki was the tattoo artist I chose for two flash designs and she's incredible. I absolutely love her art and am obsessed with the designs she tattooed on my arm! side note - all of the artists I've seen on the roster at Tenderfoot look great. On the day of my appointment, Ki was professional, warm and welcoming. The studio itself was stunning with high ceilings, lots of natural light, and clean and sanitary - all with a beautiful aesthetic. While I was sitting for the tattoo, Ki was great and supportive especially during some of the more painful moments. She offered snacks/water during breaks and provided great after-care instructions both verbally and in email. Plus she took some beautiful pictures and video of the final tattoos with studio lighting and a backdrop. It's not necessary, but it's really nice to have it documented like that! 10/10 recommend Ki and Tenderfoot Studio. "
