IF YOU ARE NOT FEELING WELL YOU MUST REACH OUT TO YOUR ARTIST TO RESCHEDULE, YOU WILL NOT LOSE ANY DEPOSIT FOR DOING SO. THANK YOU, WE ARE VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO TATTOOING YOU AGAIN! Here are answers to our most frequently asked questions:. We are largely appointment-based and each of our artists works on a different schedule, ask your preferred artist for their hours.
Getting a tattoo takes a lot of energy! Eat something after your tattoo appointment. You can resume most normal activity immediately after your tattoo appointment but we recommend skipping the gym or other strenuous physical activity for the rest of the day. Keep bandage on for as long as your tattoo artist recommends.

This place is absolutely fabulous! My most wonderful tattoo experience yet. Emiliana managed to capture exactly what I asked for and beyond! She was so friendly, kind, and not to mention INCREDIBLY talented! The shop is super clean, very welcoming environment. I will be returning to Gypsy Tattoo Parlor for all my tattoos in the future!

I went to Emiliana for my first tattoo and i could not have been happier. She took an idea i had and really turned it into something beautiful. The store was cute and very clean. I definitely plan on going back at some point for another tattoo!

Had a great experience here with Emily. She was booked a few months out, but her assistant was super friendly and attentive to get me scheduled and feel heard. Emily didn’t rush me, made sure the placement was perfect, and had great conversation while she tattooed me. I can’t wait to come back for more tattoos from her!!

I was very excited to work with one of the artists here, and she claimed she would "love to work on this piece", however she the only date she could fit me in was over 5 months away. Now this isn't unreasonable, but I needed some extra time to think about it, and did what I considered the respectful move of asking if I could have some time to think. She said yes and gave me a week. I responded 6 days later (Clearly within the time limit she gave me) and said I was okay with that date. At this point, she waited 12 days before responding saying that she booked someone else for that time, and tried

We met Cynthia at the Asbury Park tattoo convention. They were very cool and had adorable flash. We couldn't get a tattoo then so we decided to stop by when we were in town. The shop was super friendly. Cynthia is a sweetie. Gentle artist with great bedside manner. Love my pieces. Highly recommend this shop!
