Reviews of Dead Man's Hand Tattoo - Cover Up Tattoo Designs, Custom Tattoo Artist Buffalo NY (Tattoo Shop)

Emily Snider

Mallory was extremely professional and respectful. I got my nipples pierced here and would definitely come back for another piercing. She keeps everything very sanitary and the price was amazing.

Rob is the man. Period. Nails it every single time. I've spent 15-20 hours with him. I have no reason to search for another artist.

Chase Klos

Great shop super quick and professional and reasonable prices can’t say anything negative about them

Suzy Vergo

Rob is the resident tattoo artist and does great custom work that will always far exceed your expectations. He is just as capable at reproducing whatever you bring in. His turnaround time for custom work is also VERY quick compared to other shops. The shop is cozy and in a good location. Everyone is friendly and more than willing to answer all your questions. Prices are very reasonable. Safety, cleanliness, and adherence to state guidelines are top priority.

Scott Urbanski

Reasonable prices. Excellent work. Friendly environment. Sanitary. I have 2 piercings and one big tattoo so far from here.

Stopped by for a walk in with my brothers and were able to be seen right away! (staying in Buffalo, but we're from Canada) Incredibly friendly and professional service with amazing results! Highly recommend :)

Bianca DiStefano

The artist Rob is super friendly, so is the piercer. I had a wonderful experience and they made me feel really comfortable. I'd say the only reasons it's not five stars is because the place is small with no air conditoning so while getting my tattoo I was sweating my ass off and because the artist had to go do two piercings during my session because no one else was there to. Besides that I had a great experience and really recommend it. Also touch ups for your tattoos there are free.

Got my tattoo done by Rob. All i have to say is that I had a really good and comfortable experience getting my tattoo done by him all the way from the consult to the appointment. Awesome artist and really socialble. Definitly had a great experience and will be coming back to get more tattoo's done.

About a week ago I was at gamestop, and a woman told me about the shop. Called the next day, made an appointment for the day after that, I went in, literally pulled up a random picture off my phone, and Rob was able to give me just what I wanted. This is my 4th tatt, but the first one in years, and my first colored one at that. I kinda stressed the color is what drew me into the design, and I fell in love with it. I was nervous with my skin color it wouldn't turn out right, but it really got done just the way I imagined. I just need to get a ridiculously tiny touch up done on one star. It's not screwed up, or misshapen, just need a tiny pinch of ink in one corner. The entire time I got my work done we talked about gaming, how he got into doing tatts, techniques, it was a really awesome experience, I think this may be my favorite tattoo ever. An I was really happy with the price, more then fair for the amount of work that was put into a custom piece. (Tip the man, he deserves it.) I'd like to get more work done by Rob. Thanks again man!

I've gotten 3 tattoos here and my wife 2. Every time it's been very clean and professional and awesome work.

Tanya Santana

Rob is the best! Getting my 3rd piece by him. Super chill, great artist, top notch work!

Casey Cadaver

Go here! go here! go here! they are great, professional, friendly, and I'm satisfied with all the work they've done for me

Kelly Ackerman

Rob is AWESOME! He easily, quickly and affordably fixed someone else's mistakes. Already booked my next appointment!

Cultured Insanity

I went to Rob for a touch-up. He was friendly, inviting and above all, professional. We're currently in talks for my next tattoo and I would 10/10 recommend him to anyone.

Nicole Ridgeway

I have called several times during their business hours and no ever answers the phone. I even drove up there and they were closed when they were suppose to be open. So I'll gladly take my business else where

Favorite place to go for work. Rob is a fantastic artist and piercer. He is knowledgeable, honest, and talented. Everything he has ever done on me is custom, and he is able to capture what I am looking for every time. The shop is cozy, clean, and there is always someone friendly and interesting at the counter. The shop has been a one-man show for a little while, so make sure you make an appointment. The ability to just walk in an get something done is rare.

The Derp

Went in a year ago to start my horror nun piece on my arm. Came back to add to you to make it into a sleeve eventually. The finesse and quickness is robs skill showing how well he not only can create, but also apply it. You can either talk or not talk but I’d advise talking because robs one funny S.O.B. You won’t regret coming here for the simple fact that rob can bring what you want to life. Excited to get back into the chair to add more to my sleeve.

Bailey Larson

Great people, willing to help with anything

Lauren Boutros

*** edit: added a picture. How do you screw this up? I came to dead man’s hand hoping to get a simple, small green ribbon on my inner wrist. Six months later, I can’t make any more excuses for it still “healing”: the ink spread around the tattoo to form an uneven green halo, and the ribbon itself now lays on scar tissue. I’m really disappointed.

Kayla C

Easy to make an appointment and handled my step daughter’s piercing well. Great service, friendly, and informative. Highly recommend!

Skiesblood

Amazing work! Love my own tattoo and have loved everything I've seen come out of the shop. Thanks Rob!

Tammie Goble

The best place to get a tattoo or piercing I would not go anywhere else Rob is the best he is absolutely wonderful I don't trust anybody else

Jamie Kysor

Love Rob,

ChattiYammi

I dropped in for 4 piercings; $20 a pop - great price. They do NOT do piercings with guns and that alone told me that this place was pretty good. The owner was cool & helpful with any questions I had; even the dumb ones. I will return to these guys for anything else I want done. Go to DM if you want things done right and for a good price.

Sherell Farmer

I got my 2nd whole piercing done here and the piercer was amazing! really kind, made everything comfortable, opened things up for me. When I was having some issues with my jewelry he gave me new jewelry free of charge. He later changed the jewelry out for me -again- free of charge! Very kind, great prices and accessible by public transit.

KAMI_WAV (Kid-Kami)

When I went, everything was cool at first, there was 6 sessions and rye price was agreed on the first meeting. However the each session he tried raising prices, which I reminded him we agreed on. My last visit ended in me having to call, the shop multiple times with no return phone calls or messages, and eventually Going up to the shop for a Refund. And ultimately filing a claim with my bank. For a small piece there probably fine but for multiple tattoo s sessions I would just go somewhere else, the lack of communication, will piss anyone off

Renee Russell

Always a great experience!!!

Evan Wright

Awesome place! Got both nipples pierced here. Clean, safe, and a welcoming shop! Highly recommend!!

Ilana Phiansouri

i came here for my 18th birthday and gave the owner many ideas and asked if he could put a lil something together for me and he did an amazing job putting the ideas together and making it into one. he was very gentle considering it was my first tattoo and was very nice. cracked a few jokes with him too. love this place and the nice people that work here.

Laronda Kinnitt

Great experience! Clean and professional! Got my eyebrows pierced and I’m absolutely loving it! It only took 5 mins to do the actual piercing and I wish I remembered the guy’s name to give him a shout out! Great personality!

marissa wellington

I had my tragus pierced by Mallory Saturday of last week. It was a great experience! Mallory fit in my friend and I super short notice and pierced us both in one slot (after getting our paperwork out of the way). She made us feel comfortable, gave us tips and proper care suggestions for our new piercings. I wanted to get both traguses done that day, luckily she warned me about how uncomfortable it might be to have both areas sore at once. I will definitely be going back and would recommend!

Chippah

Friendly, easy going staff that do great work!

Mirene Rosas

I go here to get my navel pierce. Their prices was more than reasonable and the treatment was excellent. Rob was who make my piercing and hi answered all my questions and even when I got a little scare with the healing of my piercing I contacted him and once again answered everything I asked (previous piercing experience hasn't gone as well as this one has). Really recommended the place. I am looking forward to get a tattoo with them because so far they are good in the ones that I have seen.

Kaylie Brinkman

Amazing! Went for a nose piercing and it was quick, easy, sterile, and cheap: only $20! Staff was incredibly polite and helpful and made sure we knew all the information going in as well as aftercare. Would recommend!!

Jeffrey Fletcher

Great experience, incredible art work, extremely happy with the results so far, and would highly recommend....especially if you also need a complicated cover job done!

Nathan Sabol

Always an amazing job rob does quick and efficient definitely reccomend him for all tattoo and piercings

Michael davis

Very happy, satisfied

Timothy Benecke

Quick, easy, simple, and for a great price. If you're thinking about getting anything done by them, do it.

Adam Snyder

rob is a great tattoo artist and person he takes the time to figure out what the customer wants and makes it happen. I recommend dead man's hand tattoo for anyone

ryan williams

Nice piercing and really good tattoo artist!!

Olivia Rondon

Rob was my first tattoo artist, and is unlike a lot of those places that didn’t make me feel welcome or like I wasn’t cool enough. Not only was he really friendly but helped me design the perfect tattoo - I also got one of his own original works done as well. Aside from getting tattooed he also pierced my septum $20 (that includes both the piercing and jewelry). He will look out for your best interest when it comes to design, placement, or type of jewelry. Once I had an idea of a tattoo, but he explained he wouldn’t do it, because of the way fine tattoo lines would look like years later - so instead of someone just doing it for the money and ending up with a wonky tattoo, I got a stellar piece that’s worth the money and will last.

Inderia Wilson

Rob was awesome. Very welcoming and my Tat is awesome

Madison Sims

They do great work for an affordable price

shae booker

Wallace Owens Jr

Charles LoCurto

Rob is a phenomenal artist! The shop is clean and i never have to wait to long to get in! I have six tattoos from rob, so far and excited for more! Highly reccomend Dead Man's Hand.

Malik Laporte

Man this guy is awesome he did a beautiful piece for me if i could give this guy 10stars very humble experience all around good guy im never getting a tattoo from nobody but this guy

DeShauna Carr

Guy completely wrecked my tattoo on my arm. Not only did it hurt but it left a permanent black and blue scar on my arm and my tattoo bleed. Terrible job

John Tagan

I wanted to give a shout out to your employee for an awesome job with the Eye of Horus on my back. Soooooo many compliments. You got some business coming your way!!!!

Bronwyn Madden

Rob is the best! Mellow, clean, friendly, and most importantly a TERRIFIC artist

Golden Groves

My absolute go too for all my ink needs

Sarah Geraci

Good stuff

Brittany

Have gotten two tattoos and several piercings here. Quick, cheap and easy. Friendly and carefree guys, who are extremely talented. They always schedule me in as soon as they can. Same or next day, even! Love them.

Jessica Rosario

Rob has done all 5 of my tattoos. Never had a problem with none of them,colors are great and they still look amazing.

Kaylee Lakatos

Rob did a huge piece on me covering half my forearm in three separate sessions not only for an amazing price but also amazing quality work!! He’s amazing to work with and if I did have any thing I wanted tweaked he was understanding friendly and Cooperative unlike most other artists where they take it as an offense or make you feel uncomfortable. He talks to you as much or as little as you want and the place as a whole is super professional. I’d recommend him to anyone! And his girlfriend is super cool

Catherine Nesdip

It was amazingly clean and the artists were very professional. They did both mine and my friends in under an hour total- and both are perfectly drawn and healing beautifully. They squeezed us in without an appointment too, you're in good hands here.

DJ Darnley

Rob is an amazing artist with fair prices and a genuine guy!

Joe Cordova

Been going to Rob for years he did most of my pieces always very Friendly and prices are fair! Does great work!!
