Sheila did an amazing job working with my eleven year old. This was her third time getting her ears pierced because the first two times when she was a younger child at the mall did not turn out so well. The piercing was quick and done well. The shop was clean and organized. I had emailed the shop before I brought her in to make sure I could. The response was quickly returned and very polite. Highly recommend.
Absolutely loved this place! called in the afternoon and squeezed four of us in and did an amazing job on all of us! very clean and professional, adam did an outstanding job!!
Very professional super nice and super quick! 10/10 would very much recommend!
Super clean & chill environment. Got my belly pierced here too a few years ago and it healed perfectly. Super quick, easy, and not too painful. Get your piercings done here.
Such an AMAZING piercing place. The staff is amazing and kind. they are great on making sure you feel good after, and i got a free orange juice so that’s a plus. sorry about the photo, t isn’t the best.
Marcel did a very last minute tattoo on me. I got a little Winnie the Pooh on my wrist. It was quick, painless, and very well done! Adam also did an impromptu piece on my husband. Highly recommend this place!
Shelia was amazing. She pierced my nose this afternoon and her hands were so gentle. She walked me through it and listened to me. Would 10/10 recommend. The wait wasnt long today in the afternoon either
If you need a good local piercer, go visit Jessica or Sheila!! They’re friendly, clean environment, and very informative. Had my nose re pierced here and my belly button pierced and I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Both piercings healed in record time and any questions I had, they were happy to answer!
I loooove Jessica. She’s literally the sweetest person; super friendly, great conversationalist. We felt totally comfortable with her and her expertise. Will come back for my next piercing ☺️ALSO, she was in the middle of helping two other young ladies, she excused herself just to tell us she’ll be with us in a moment. Most people would just ignore you tbh.
Great work and great people. I love to see a family run business in this day and age
I got my industrial pierced by sheila she did it completely wrong put it in the wrong stop so it was leaving an indent in my ear and the bar was way to small it had no space to heal at all way to expensive and not worth it at all also went to a different piercer and they told me shes known for giving bad piercings
Amazing art work done here. The artists are so sweet as well.
EGREGIOUS UNPROFESSIONAL NIGHTMARE. Avoid them at all costs. I have never been treated so poorly and unprofessionally in all my life. I do not go out of my way to post negative experiences but the service and treatment is unforgivable. This is not my first tattoo. I researched the artist I wanted to work with, went for a consultation, booked my first session in February. Im made to wait almost 2 hours when I arrive. The artist is cold and rude, dismissive, and making fun of me when I am experiencing pain and discomfort, says basically nothing when the appointment is over and my follow up isnt scheduled. I called a few days later to book the second session. I am told the artist was exposed to Covid and was quarantining. Unbelievable that they wouldnt notify me of this exposure, being that I was in direct contact with him for a number of hours only days prior to me calling and finding this out. They tell me they dont know when hell be back in the shop. I continue to call to schedule my follow up and am given the run around. Finally, two months later I schedule for June. Then I receive an email from the front desk about a week later- that due to the absence from Covid, the artist is pushing me back to the Fall. I contact them immediately to say that is not right that I am being made to wait almost a year for the tattoo we discussed to be completed. I tell them I want someone to contact me. The artist then reaches out the next day via text to tell me he doesnt want to do the rest of it, he wasnt happy, and that I am not owed anything from them, which is just insane that you would treat a person, let alone a customer you worked on that way. I completely understand that an artist has the right not to finish the work, but the way this message was delivered and communicated MONTHS after the initial tattoo is simply wrong. And now, for the rest of my life I have a lovely little reminder of this entire nightmare which put my health at risk and permanently altered my skin which will now have to be corrected and redone by an actual professional. Disgusting and despicable behavior from this shop.
I am not big on piercings nor tattoos for my own personal reasons, however, I wanted to try something different and get a private pierced. I went on a spontaneous night and we were able to walk right in without an appointment. Sheila was the one who pierced me and made the experience SO incredibly seamless and painless.Thank you so much Sheila for your patience and positive energy. I will definitely be recommending this shop!
Ran almost an hr. late and did apoor job drawing the tattoo.
Went to Big Joe’s for Nose piercing on 1-1121, it was done by Sheila, I was a bit nervous Sheila talked the process through & told be to breath,I closed my eyes and she said that’s it, I couldn’t believe how painless it really was...Thanks again Sheila for being gentle, quick, & very professional. Job well done. Very Satisfied Customer.
Terrible customer service. Went here when I got my first tattoo, lady in the front had a terrible attitude. I got a simple tattoo done of a flower but one of the lines isnt fully closed. Tried to give them another chance by booking an appointment through the phone. They had slots available for when I wanted and to email them reference picture. By the time they replied they were already booked up. Dont go here. Save your self the time and go to Addicted to Ink instead. Their atmosphere and service is much better.EDIT:After I left this review they sent me this email, threatening to blackmail me for speaking out on my experience. Once again they were rude in PERSON when I went. This email shows the attitude behind the management. The issue with scheduling is separate. I am very understanding of the lack of availability. However, the issue with this interaction is not that they didnt accommodate the date I wouldve liked, but instead did not offer other available dates.
Shelia thank you for piercing my septum!! You were divine. Definitely coming back 😊
I love Jessica and Sheila! Sheila pierced my nostril perfectly years ago and I decided to come back for more recently. Jessica pierced my septum and daith; they both came out fantastic with minimal pain and walked me through every step to ensure I was comfortable. Will be coming back for more!
I love Big Joe & Sons, I got 3 of my tats there and I love them all!
Me and my wife got drunk one night and got matching pirate tattoos here not my usual shop but they did an ok job. The guy who did it was a little rude but he did what he was supposed to.
I went there for my first tattoo I had an appointment with Pito I told him it was my 1st tattoo he was amazing he went over the image I wanted made great suggestions and he was very gentle and made the experience pain free I would recommend anyone to him going back again soon for another the tattoo came out AMAZINGThe staff was great very clean and covid 19 practices in place. Price was excellent.THANK YOU AGAIN PITO I LOVE MY TATTOO..😁😊😁😚
Love them just got my cartilage pierced by Jessica was so nice and patient with me and it was painless they go through the steps of what they do. love the way Jessica pieced it would definitely come back for more
I have been coming to this shop for a long time and Adam Kaplan is in my opinion an amazing tattoo artist. He has now done about six tattoos for me. I was there a week ago and was a bit nervous given the current climate. They went above and beyond with safety protocols and I had another great experience there. I would never go anywhere else. Thank you Big Joe & Sons.
Shared a special moment with my daughter here. Cant wait to go back!
This was my second time getting tattooed here and I love them! They came highly recommended by a friend, and they did not disappoint.The staff takes time to make sure you get exactly what you want. We walked in with no appointment on a Friday night and didnt have to wait too long. The shop is clean and the staff is completely professional.
I had an appointment at 12pm and the artist was not even there....I wait until 1pm and he never showed up....when I ask they said he was coming in at 2pm....not cool...( I canceled my appointment)ladies were so nice.....
Got a tattoo from marcel and absolutely love it! Fast and has a delicate hand which is appreciated after 3 hours of getting tattooed! I have 8 tattoos and this one is by far my favorite! Definitely recommend!
Got my nose pierced. Lady was super cool and it was really quick and easy
I absolutely love how my tattoo came out, I cant stop staring at it! Adam was great! I have never seen such clean, crisp work!! I went to a shop nearby before and I had to walk out because of how poor their customer service was. I am BEYOND happy that I walked into Big Joes; Aces across the board for customer service, artwork, cleanliness, and their prices. This is my first piece done at Big Joes, I will definitely be coming back for more!!
Ive been coming here for a little under a year now.Ive worked with Pito and Marcel and have only gotten excellent work from them.Sheila is the best piercer around, and I have more than 15 piercings and have been everywhere for them.Im proud to say that Im a regular here. This is a gem of a shop.Would highly recommend.
Absolute BEST Tattoo Artists!! I have been going to Adam for over 25 years!The shop is clean, friendly and knowledgeable!!! I would go no where else!
Havent been here since they moved from their other spot on Mamaroneck Ave. Anyway, theyre a legit, old-school tattoo shop. No fuss, nothing fancy - just really well applied tattoos.Adam has tattooed me several times and theyve held up to the test of time, and I am very happy with his work. This shop isnt boutique, pretentious, or any of that reality TV or Instagram nonsense. This shop is a safe bet if youre looking to get a solid tattoo for a reasonable price.
Great location awesome ink
I had such a great experience. I call an hour before to find out if I could walk in and had NO problem when I got there. They started working on my design as soon as I walked in. Everyone from the front desk to the artist were very pleasant and humorous. I will definitely be back for another.
Sheila is the best!!! Highly recommend this place!!!
Got my first piercing here last Monday then came back the next day for my first tattoo and they were both pleasant experiences, coming back tomorrow for my second piercing.
They have interesting tattoo designs
I have been going to this tattoo parlor for years, I couldnt ask for more when it comes to looking for a comfortable friendly environment. they are spotless clean always very professional, but yet give you the family-like vibe. not to mention all the artists are down to earth cool people with amazing talent. I will forever remain faithful to this shop
Got my first tattoo done here by Adam did an amazing job great detail
Waited to see the piercer, was told she was on her way...she never turned up. She is excellent, hence the reason for the wait, but didnt appreciate the waste of my time.
My tattoo came out better than I expected and the place is really clean. 👍
They were professional and courteous. I came in early afternoon for a tattoo and while busy they were able to book me for that evening. Good price, very nice work.
Got my cover up done by Adam. It was pretty quick and looked great. Will definitely go back again to get the one on my spine covered also.Right now Im waiting for the one on my shoulder blade to heel first.
I wrote my review in the wrong place earlier.Adam is the truth! Cool ppl there... Especially my crush. 😜
I was discriminated against when I came to this parlor. Im not sure if the entire parlor is racist. But the man at the front desk sure is. I had called parlor an hour prior to coming to the shop. I was waiting for two hours for a very small and simple tattoo. He told me to wait an hour when i first arrived and said the artist was busy, i figured it must be a large tattoo so I left. He had told me that he would call after the hour, he did not. I returned to the store,continued to wait. I kept asking, how much longer will i be waiting and each time I noticed a small attitude in his response. The fourth time I asked, he told me I could come back tomorrow. I dont live in White plains, I came there to receive a tattoo that same day. I began to notice, the black people were waiting significantly longer than the white people. Soon after a white person, they were quickly served. Before, I could curse him out, he went to the back. My boyfriend told me it was a better idea just to leave. We left and went to Addicted To Ink which only a few blocks away. (and cheaper) The starting price here is 60$, at Addicted To Ink it is 50$. The service was incredibly faster, the technology was better, environment was better, the workers are much friendlier. If you are a minority, or a person who believes racism is wrong. I suggest that you do not come here. Better walk around the corner and go to Addicted To Ink.
Thanks Adam.Three years later... The tattoo looks great, just like the day Adam completed it. Love it. Love you guys. Very professional, and attentive to deal.
I’ve gotten a few piercings from here, and they are either done in the wrong spot and I’m not show until it’s too late, or something goes wrong with my piercing. I just had to get my ear cut open at an ENT yesterday and got an earring removed that I got done here a week ago. Now I’m on 4 different antibiotics. The doctor also told me that you should never pierce through a keloid (which I was talked into doing At big joes)My friend who I brought with me is having the same problem right now and is going to see a doctor. I should have just went to addicted to ink like I normally do. Shame on me. Waste of $100.
Im finally getting my sleeve done, its not just a tattoo...its a masterpiece!
I got my first Tattoo here. Not only was I overcharged, the tattoo artist was far from gentle and lacked common courtesy. As it was my first tattoo I was nervous and he was not at all empathetic and just starting jabbing me right away. Do not go here if it is your first tattoo.
Loved the place. Plan to come back. There was a really nice chill environment and each person gets there own spot for privacy. I would like to add ( since I saw a ignorant review ) that there is NO!! racism in the shop with ANY of the staff. Im a minority and the entire staff treated me with the same courtesy and respect they did everyone else. Tread people like you like to be treated and it will be returned. `
Grate experience very nice people I got a piercing but I’ll definitely go back for a tattoo soon
Great experiences very friendly and understand to your needs .and all the tatto artists are do awesome tats. Luv ya guys. 💝
Ive only gone for a piercing but honestly, it couldnt have been a more pleasant experience as far as employees go. The piercing was a success. The shop is clean and Id recommend the place.
I’m still in love with my watercolor tattoo
Their piercer is very accomodating and has a gentle touch. I was able to walk in and be taken care of immediately.
If you want to get a piercing, dont go ANYWHERE ELSE but Shelia at Big Joes! She has pierced my body over 20 times and shes AWESOME!
Awesome people, place, and prices. Place to go for life.
Everyone there is so friendly; awesome work and amazing attention to detail. They were so patient while my friend & I decided on our fonts and made suggestions based on their experiences.
In reference to Arianas comment. Im a minority and I work at big joes. We are not racist. Stay blessed☺️☺️
Good experience. Quick inexpensive and great work.
From Grandparents to Moms, Dads, Uncles, cousins and kids alike it seems everyone I know has been tattooed or has a family member or friend who had phenomenal work done at Big Joes Tattoos. Giving great customer service and outstanding work for generations!!!!
Over priced and over rated for tattoos
Called before going. Lady said they close at 9 on a Friday its 830 came from Jersey for nothing.
I got a nose piercing it was fast and easy
Adam great guy excellent work.
