Modern Age Tattoos, opened its doors in 1998 in Nanuet, New York, Rockland County. We are located approximately 30 minutes north of N.Y.C. The shop has an old school street shop feel to it, but in a clean modern environment. The shop has a lot of designs to choose from displayed all over the walls and in display racks, everything from old school designs to new school and everything in between.
I have been tattooing at Modern Age since we opened in May of 1997, and began tattooing in 1985. Being friends with Robert Balter, the owner of Modern Age since high school, I became interested in tattooing myself. I watched him learn over the years, and he helped me a great deal. I worked at his shop in Middletown, N.Y., Skin Images, for a brief time, but mostly tattooed as a hobby and on friends.
My name is Jeff R. I was born in Washington Heights, NYC and was drawing at a very early age. I honed my drawing skills during class while growing up and decided to study art. I wanted to be a cartoonist but later changed my mind. I earned a degree in Fine Arts (graphic design and illustration) from William Paterson University and spent some time at the School of Visual Arts, NYC.
I've been tattooing for 15 years, with the past 13 years at Modern Age Tattoos. I started my apprenticeship in Jersey and worked at that shop for 2 years. I learned the basics of tattooing, which included needle making, color mixing, and machine maintenance. I was able to get return customers and referrals after a short period of time.

Pretty upset with a tattoo I got done by the owner. It was a simple three word script tattoo. It was honestly very badly done, some of the lines are thicker and some thin despite the picture printed not looking that way at all. He assured me the size we chose would allow him to make the lines thin the way I wanted. One of the letters even has a double line and it honestly looks like a child took over and did it. This tattoo is right on my collarbone so it’s super noticeable and there’s really no way to fix it ): he just kept saying that I was swollen and that it would look fine once healed

I was skeptical at first, real nervous, I left happy as can be scheduling my next appointment ASAP! Josh does great work! He turned a sloppy tattoo from my youth into something I am more than proud of. The cover up/face lift he did to my leg brings a sense of happiness I cannot describe. Also, the prices are more than fair!

I got a cover up plus it was a difficult challenge and request for just a walk in. However, my tattoo artist Jeff pulled off a stunning and jaw dropping custom tattoo cover that ever one I know loves! I am in love with the cover up so much to! It is everything I asked for and more! Than a couple days after my Dad and I got matching tattoos done by Bobby. He worked with us to build a custom tattoo to! Both tattoos are marvelous pieces of beautiful artwork. I know they both put their heart and soul into the tattoos I got. I appreciate and respect that highly. Their prices are fair especially for

This was my first tattoo and it was a wonderful experience! The artist (Bobby) was friendly, funny, and obviously well experienced. Their prices were good and it was high quality. Bobby calmed my nerves and worked at a good speed. The parlor was clean, inviting and well lit (which I personally appreciated). The atmosphere was welcoming and not intimidating like many other parlors can be. I would definitely return for more in the future.
