Reviews of Divine Machine Tattoo (Tattoo Shop)

Laura I

Excellent experience. We did a walk-in and got in immediately. The artists created our design exactly as we envisioned it and Zach did an awesome job. It was very clean and had a great atmosphere. Definitely would go back. Very impressed.

Ryan Gelder

My artist who's name was Scott I believe did a very lazy job on my tattoo which was a simple quote. A couple of the letters are crooked. It doesn't look terrible but I'm not happy with it. I'll be taking my business elsewhere for a touch up.

Alban Morina

Best place. Scott was really nice too and made the 2 hours a lot more pleasant. Very clean place too.

Eddie Santiago

I had a tattoo I really put time and value into. Like from the quote, all the way down to the font. So a relative recommended to me that they would do a great job; based of off seeing her tattoo, I was impressed... but, shortly after I had scheduled my appointment, they had assigned me an artist; I mean don't get me wrong, the artist was a nice guy throughout the process, but unfortunately he did a disappointing job on my rib tattoo. I just got it like a week & a half ago, its ugly, i tried to make it work in my mental, but ultimately I'm really mad at myself & I already want to get it removed.!

damn they must've deleted my review..... wen't into this shop for the first time. Was sitting waiting for over an hour past my appointment time. And a few of the tattoo artists were talking about how they had the flu... One guy said he's had it and gave it to the other tattoo artist. But he needed money so he didn't care and has been coming in and tattoo'ing for a couple of days with the flu. One guy walked out as he over heard them aswell. 3-4 of them were all talking about how they were sick and 2 of them had the flu. and just laughing and joking about it because they needed money. All of them were coughing. Some girl came in for an appointment too and one of they guys that said he had the flu went and started tatoo'ing her. Could a shop be more unprofessional? Not even sure that is legal. Do not go here. This was back in april but they must've got my review deleted. Go somewhere else trust me.

Sine Nomine

I was immediately made to feel welcome and comfortable. The staff is friendly, open-minded, supportive, professional, and extremely talented! I really don't see myself having work done anywhere else! :-)

Ryan Fisher

Amazing artists. If you're looking for top notch realism Chris is your guy

Kelley Gadra

Love this place but won't rush in there next time because I got a traveling tattoo artist and my tattoo sucks, it's like a cartoon

Amy Dzaack

The entire staff was awesome we were walk-in and had to go about our day after giving them our info. They got us in with Eva at the end of the day and she was wonderful! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I recommend NO ONE to get tattooed by Zach Zahn at Devine tattoos. I have never experienced such horrible customer service or gotten a tattoo this terrible.The tattoo I wanted was very simple: the outline of an ice cream cone. Zach told me he could not make the tattoo as small as I wanted even though I have seen multiple tattoos of this kind that are much smaller, and have much finer detail, done by other artists. He was rude the entire time and made me feel like an inconvenience when I was trying to figure out where I should have the tattoo placed. The quality of the actual tattoo is HORRIBLE, as Zach couldn't even tattoo a straight line or align the scoops on my ice cream cone—EVEN THOUGH IT WAS STRAIGHT ON THE STENCIL. Mind you, I was being completely still throughout the entire process so it was not due to any shakiness. When the tattoo was complete, Zach rushed me out of there stating that he had another client. After seeing the terrible job he had done, I emailed him in a very professional manner addressing my concerns. He told me that he didn't appreciate my attitude (gave him no attitude) and that the reason the tattoo turned out the way it did was because “I was jittery and that I was unsure of the tattoo the whole time” and told me that i could “come get my money back” because he did not “care to tattoo” me again. I never received an apology, and had the blame put on me. He gave me my refund, however, when I asked for my tip back he didn't give it to me. Sad, incompetent and unprofessional! Brrr.

Erin Vaccarello

I've been tattooed at Divine Machine multiple times over the past few years and I have always been happy if not delighted with my experiences and the quality of work I've received. The shop is clean, the artists are talented, and everyone is very nice. I've been recommending Divine Machine for years and will continue to do so.

Brian Donovan

Awesome shop. Walked-in, Dustin drew up exactly what I wanted, and was reasonably priced. Super clean place, great staff.

Spinners Hockey

Scott dos amazing work, did myself, my wife and our best friend. Can't wait to go back for more!

Lacey Gough

Love love love this place. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. I had 3 tattoos done here over the summer, the most recent one was done by Kaitlin and was easily the best tattoo experience I've ever had. She was absolutely fantastic, so patient with me and the tattoo turned out better than I had imagined. I will be back many more times, and would highly recommend Divine Machine to anyone!

Colville Outfitters

This is one of if not the best Tattoo shop on Buffalo NY. Chris is incredible and his realism style tattoo is well worth the wait and money. The place is clean and classy. I trust the artist to have creative freedom and I am always overly happy with the results. I get compliments all the time on their work.

Nico Hess

Joel is the man!!!

Lauren

I went to Eva Huber and she was AMAZING! I got a coverup on a decade old tattoo I thought there was no coming back from. Eva is an amazing artist, provides great customer service, and is a blast to chat with. Thank you again Eva!!

Graciana Giambra

I go to Marcus Mancini and I always leave with a tattoo that’s way more beautiful than I expected! He’s done all 4 of mine and draws exactly what I’m looking for and always points me in the right direction with placement and details. If you’re looking for an intricate and delicate tattoo you’d be over the moon with Marcus’s work.

Brittany Keller

Did a cover up here! And did an awesome job! I can't thank them enough!

Jeremy sheridan

My favorite tattoos come from here. Staff very knowledgeable. I would like to recommend if you have an idea for a tattoo trust them with guiding you to what makes most sense. Even if it isn't what you have in mind all the way, its best to let professionals such as them help the customer develop a coherent product.

Joshua Frangione

I wish I could give negative stars. I Would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. Joel wasted my time! Forget the fact that it was an hour and a half drive both ways, that's my choice by selecting this shop. The fact that I was going for a full sleeve, provided details of what I wanted and even told him it was a partial cover up didn't seem to matter. My appointment was scheduled for over a month and never once did I receive a drawing of what the tattoo would potentially look like or a phone call or email. Nothing. No contact. When I showed up is when Joel decided to tell me what he drew wouldn't work and he would never agree to do a cover up. Unfortunately for him I have the emails. Don't waste your time or money here!

Branden Johnson

Great place to get a tattoo. Joel did an amazing job on my tattoo!

Kimm Ledbetter

One of the best shops in the area. Great vibe. Great art.

Meghan Martin

I see Marcus, he’s an amazing artist and I always leave absolutely stoked on how my tattoos comes out. Super cool guy!

Randy Jacob

Been going there for years. Jake Anderson Dustin Lovell. And 4 to 5 other great artists.

Lori Mount

Loved it. Came to jakrle with an ideal and he turned it into reality that blew me away.

Shelby

Great atmosphere, amazing artists, and wicked tunes. I cannot emphasize enough the quality for the price, more than worth it!

Ross Moretzsky

Followed Marcus to the shop and am hooked. The shop has a great atmosphere and is welcoming with great designs all around and an awesome location. I always feel comfortable and enjoy the experience. Marcus Mancini is also 10/10, he did my first tattoo and has done all of mine and my partners since. He’s super easy to work with and does amazing work! Great shop, great people! Need I say more?

andrew torres

One of if not thee best place to get ink in buffalo ny . They have amazing artists that will help you get exactly what you want

D Witt

Very clean, courteous, friendly service, tattoo artist are the best, Marcus is so darn good, and detailed, visionary. Love his artistry!!!

Elise Cloutier

Marcus is a truly amazing artist here his precision and attention to detail really can’t be found anywhere else in buffalo - I have gotten 4 tattoos done by him including a full sleeve and have had a really great experience every time

Angry Bob

Met Chris at the tattoo convention in Niagara Falls, so I started following their page on facebook. They announced tattoo removals, so I'm currently getting one removed. The shop felt nice, clean, friendly staff. It's in an odd place, hard to really get to, though. My only complaint.

Liana Murphy

If I could give more stars, I would. I walked in without an appointment, and the artist (Devin) Drew up a design on the spot and got me in right away. He was so nice, talked to me about the whole process, and got me out quickly. The shop is clean and well lit. I will be back again soon for another!

Rita Deane

Rude and arrogant over the phone

Larina Johnson

The artist listens to the type of design u want & where u want it. Gives suggestions on the design of your tattoo. Danny provided an ease in his vibe talking story the only pain I had was the upper shoulder which didn't last long. Im thinking of a flower lei to extend to my tattoo in front of my chest .

Lori McClure

Extremely clean. Engaging staff. Joel's work is excellent. Definitely going back!

Anthony Barker

Noce work

Bradley Brady

This shop is highly unprofessional. The staff was rude and unhelpful and the place was beyond hot inside. I went in to try and schedule an appointment with an artist and was told he had no bookings for a few months and that even if he did it depends " if he feels like doing it." They tried to force some mediocre artists on me. When I insisted on the one artist, all I got was come back in a few weeks and try again. Would not recommend this place to any one.

Mike Kellar

Great artists, highly recommend

cassie farr

Marcus Mancini is amazing with his work!! Very clean environment highly recommend

Billy Flake

The artists occupying Divine Machine are some of the best in Buffalo. From personal experience, Neal Koch and Chris Allen do amazing work and I'd recommend them to anyone. I'd also suggest this shop to anyone looking for a realistic detailed portrait, but they have an artist for just about any style or taste. Everyone is really friendly and inviting which creates a comfortable environment. TL;DR: Clean shop, friendly talented staff, 10/10 would get tattooed there again.

Hannah Lasher

I've been going to see Marcus Mancini for years and he truly never disappoints. Not only is he an amazing artist, he actually listens to what I want and he always puts his own creative spin on it which I love. If you are looking for a trustworthy artist he is your guy.

Timothy C Kennedy musician

The Beatles will always have my back now! Thanks Joel! You rock ????????????

Tiana Boyd

Really good

izzy nicholas

Eva Huber is spectacular! She understood exactly what I wanted and a really pleasant person overall, you can tell she is very passionate about her work. She was focused and did a wonderful job on my tattoo. I was a little hungry after spending a few hours in the chair and even sacrificed a couple snacks to keep me going. If you’re looking for a nice high quality tattoo email her! at tattoosbyeva@gmail.com

joseph scinta

First class all the way... Joel Mentor did a great job on my tattoo... very easy to work with

Mete Rice

Fantastic Experience! I had Zach as my artist and he did a great job! I got an outline of a largemouth bass and it looks perfect! Quick and easy experience. This was my first tattoo and felt very comfortable with the place and can’t stress enough how clean it is!

Em Burk

Listened carefully to what I wanted and made sure I was going to love it. I had the owner and he drew something up for me and told me if it wasn't what I wanted he would pass me onto someone else in the shop. Honest, clean, friendly. Great place.

Bleh Bleh

Rude workers. Garbage line work. Awful shading. First tattoo and I hate it. I'm honestly getting it removed because I can't stand looking at it every day. Customer service is a joke. If you like the artists there you must have low standards.

Norb Nadolny

Love this shop. Scott Sonner is my main dude but they all are awesome

Ryan Fassel

Scott is the man!

Nicole

*this experience is old but it has always stuck with me. So it was my first tattoo and it was very meaningful to me because a friend had helped me with the design. It was a bunch of trees that wrapped around my ankle. I had done some research online and decided on an artist at divine machine but I forget which one because when I walked in to ask to make an appointment with them a different artist was standing there and insisted the style was in his range and that I don't need to ask anyone else (it was not. I wanted fine detail and he was a neotraditional artist) so I booked the appointment anyways gave him print outs of the design and he told me he would sketch something up for my visit so that I could see he could at least draw what I was looking for. The day of the visit comes around and I arrive 10 minutes early but that didn't matter because my artist had someone else come in at the same time and told me they wouldn't take too long it was just a small tattoo. So I wait and finally its my turn to go back to the chair. Only then does he tell me he never got around to drawing the design but he's good to go, we can just start with no stencil. Ok... so I let him try the part of the design that was just 2 lines that wrapped around my ankle. He traced them with a rubber band and went straight to tattooing. They were horribly uneven so when he told me he didn't need to draw the rest with a sharpie first at all he could just freehand the whole tattoo with the gun. Well I noped right out of there. Told him it hurt too much and that this was fine for my first go. Paid the deposit on the rest and never went back. Im sure he does great work on people who want tattoos in his style but I adamantly told him I wasn't in the shop for his art but another artist he was just too cocky to let me get the tattoo I wanted rather than the one he wanted the money for. Best decision I ever made leaving that place with an unfinished tattoo. I knew I found the right place for me when I went into another shop looking for a specific artist but while showing them the design that said "I can certainly do that but have you seen *another artist there's work, she would do a great job with this its right up her alley. And it so was, what a lovely tattoo I have now. she had to do was cover up the lines the previous dude messed up but still did a great job of it.

melissa lewis

Had appointment set up and was stiffed when I contacted artist to confirm.

Jeff c

My first tattoo, it turned out amazing.

Gabrielle Burke

Called to make an appointment. Said they could take us today because it was a simple drawing. Apparently, it wasn’t. The lines are all zigzag. It is nothing like the picture that was sent to them. The first three tattoos from here were really great, but now they are not doing so hot. Don’t know if it was a rush job because so much is going on or they hired other people because they couldn’t keep up with demand, but it was not good.

Anna DeCosta-Klipa

I got my first tattoo here. I really wanted mine done in white ink and they were willing to do that for me. It came out great, their customer service was awesome and best of all the price was extremely reasonable for my tattoo size. They were very friendly and made sure I was happy with my tattoo and knew all about the after care. Not to mention the studio was also very nice and professional. Glad I came here for my tattoo. Would definitely recommend Divine Machine Tattoo.

Shawn Starr

Went in with a rather strange request and Danny was able to hook the tattoo up better than I had pictured it. We also bonded during my time getting inked. He was a cool dude and a definite badass. I will be back again the next time I am back in town.

David Zaretsky

Fantastic establishment, employed by wonderful people. My tattoo was done by Joel Menter. I cannot stress how perfectly he captured what I was looking for. Clean equipment, safe practices, and confident/highly skilled artists make Divine Machine Tattoo a place id happily recommened to anyone

Amy M.

I went to Divine Machine for my first tattoo and could not have been happier. Lowell was always super nice in our exchanges and Zach was very patient and understanding knowing it was my first experience. He did a great job. Will definitely be back hopefully for another! Plus, the shop overall had a really good vibe. Thank you!

william hughson

Kaitlin did an awesome job on my tattoo! She was kind and patient with me seeing as it was my first tattoo. I would completely recommend her to any one. I can't wait to go back to see her for more!

William Dodge

This shop is amazing, I tell anyone wanting a tattoo to stop here first. All the artists are really talented and will do any style of tattoo you could imagine. I’ve been working with Marcus Mancini for the past few months a full body suit, and it’s already an amazing piece. Marcus is really open and receptive to your ideas, listens to them, and adds to them to create an amazing piece of art. I look forward to my monthly visit, where I chill in the shop and get tattooed by Marcus. Not only is Marcus an amazing tattoo artist, he’s a really easy going chill guy to talk with while you’re getting tattooed. Can’t wait to see how great this suit looks when it’s finished.

Maureen Mary

This local tattoo shop has been my go to place for the last 3 years. Every artist there is so dedicated to the industry and artistry of the experience from start to finish. I have been to 3 out of the 7 artists and am planning repeats and even appointments with who I haven't been to yet. (Thank you stimulus!) Each tattoo I have from DMT makes me happy and proud of my own skin. Thank you DMT! I’m going to collect a living art piece from ya’ll!

Josh Maston

Quality work!

Vincent Klie

I've been going to Marcus for seven years now. His creative approach has always be accomitading to whatever I am thinking. It's great to see him doing great in his own space.

Katie Chamberlain

Best shop in Buff! Dustin and Zach have done all my tattoos and I’ll never go anywhere else again. Highly recommend :)

Joanna Hall

Great place .love my tattoo

jill brown

Joel gave me a wonderful tribute tattoo to my grandchildren....I'm very happy with it!

Shayna Jones

Called to get a tattoo on during my overnight trip and really didn’t think it could happen due to time and being a walk-in. To my surprise they got me right in and can I just say I’ve never had a better experience getting a tattoo!!!! Joel did an AMAZING job! He works very fast and my tattoo came out EXACTLY how I wanted it. He’s very professional and helped me get the design I wanted to perfection. I live a little over 2 hours away, but I will be traveling for any further tattoos. I would recommend anyone to go here!! Thank you guys for the great experience it really made my trip the best!!
