Triple Diamond Tattoo

Tattooed by Simon. Amazing piece. He made me feel comfortable and at ease about the pain. Nicest people I’ve met.

Words can’t express how happy I am that I was referred to Triple Diamond by my friend, Josh. The whole experience from consult to finish was absolutely delightful. Ryan accommodated my request for an appointment at the last minute as I wanted to get something to commemorate my departure from New York to live overseas for awhile. Although I was in a relative hurry (I was scheduled to leave the country 4 days from when I first contacted him), he took his time creating a piece that represented exactly what I wanted and I never felt rushed. At all times, I felt confident that I was in good hands, absolutely taken care of. As the session unfolded it was so exciting to be a witness to Ryan’s process and flow as an artist all while chewing the fat about a multitude of interesting things from music to philosophy and travel. Shanon and Simon were in the shop as well and were very kind and lovely to chat with. The shop is super clean, welcoming and has a million wonderful pieces of art and interesting objects to look at and or buy. Ryan went the extra mile to really make sure this was done in one sitting and to my satisfaction. I couldn’t be more pleased. I’ll be back when I’m in New York again.

My best friend and I were in Brooklyn over night for a taxidermy seminar. We stopped in the shop for small finger tattoos. All the guys were so nice and were able to do us both at the same time. They played great music and the décor was awesome. Tattoos turned out super cute! We will definitely be back the next time we are up from Maryland!

My sister & I walked in on a Tuesday night. We had to wait about an hour since we hadn’t made appointments, but there was enough cool stuff to look at to make the time go by. The shop was really clean, everyone was super friendly, & they even stayed open a little late to finish us.
Simon did a great job! He listened to what I wanted & made some suggestions to make it even better. It’s about 4″ long, 2″ wide, & cost $ 350 + tip. Totally worth it, I’ll definitely be going back for my next.

I have gotten my first and second tattoo from this place and I plan on getting my third real soon. This will most likely be the only place that I will get my tattoos done from now on. Been to, to many shops that charge high for basic tattoos. I find the tattoos here are priced right and the tattoos look great. I’ve had two different guys at the shop tattoo me and BOTH tattoos came out as I envisioned it. As long as I live in Brooklyn and need a tattoo done I will forever come here.

I came in to get a large amount of script done without an appt. Simon welcomed me right in and helped me right away. The entire staff was professional and extremely friendly. Simon did an awesome job and I am very happy with my tattoo. Do not let the décor deter you. This is an awesome shop and they do great service. Highly highly recommend.

I can’t say enough about Triple Diamond — the level of professionalism is stellar, exceedingly clean and hygienic measures taken, and they put thought and honor into all the work they do, from the smallest to the biggest projects.
I went to Simon about a month ago for a small tattoo I was getting on my arm — I brought him samples of handwriting that I wanted replicated, and came back five days later to see what he had come up with and get the tattoo. He was extremely patient and was receptive to any adjustments I would have made, but honestly what he did was perfect. Super chill guy, very friendly, checked in with me about everything. Measured my arm extensively to make sure he got the placement exactly right!
I brought my two friends back last week when we all decided to get tattoos together. We brought in designs, and Simon provided the same care and courtesy to this project. One of my friends was super nervous because she had previously had a bad experience getting her first tattoo, but Simon was really patient and considerate of her anxiety.
I would also like to add that Shannon at the front desk was extremely helpful and lovely! I hear great things about all the other artists as well.
Please go to Triple Diamond Tattoo.

I thought about getting another tattoo for a little while now so I finally had the chance when I was able to leave work early randomly on a Tuesday. I gave them a call about 40 minutes before going in to see if they would take walk in appointments which they were fine with me going in last minute. I walked in and immediately felt like I was brought to another decade. The store was filled with antique pieces that were quite interesting. Ryan was the one who helped me and tattooed my small piece. Upon walking in I showed him an idea of what I wanted and he was very helpful. He showed me a few examples of different fonts and sizes and adjusted the size so that it would be better to see. I decided to go along with the best choice and got in the chair. I’ve gotten tattoos before so It was no big deal to me but it was a new spot that i’ve never had before so I asked him a few things which he happily answered all my questions. The whole process lasted about an hour at most (I was only tattooing a very small quote on my wrist). In general I felt very comfortable there and had a great experience with Ryan. They were very sanitary and the place overall was cool so it would feel just fine even if I would be sitting there for a few hour piece. I definitely plan on coming back for something more soon.

Absolute proficiency and excellence from TRUE PROFESSIONALS –GUARANTEED! I have never gone wrong with
Always way the fuc* UPP!

I’ve gotten a small tattoo and a touch up from Ryan, and with both had a great experience. The shop itself is cozy and you’re surrounded with eclectic objects and art. I found Ryan to be very patient, calm, and professional but friendly. My tattoos look great, the process itself was very gentle, and they healed quicker than any of the others I have. Other staff who was around seemed similarly friendly and open. This isn’t a place where you’re going to find an attitude if you come in untatted or barely tattooed which is really refreshing. Definitely recommend!

I’ve taken 3 friends here now to get their first tattoos. All simple but delicate line tattoos. One was by Jon, and the other 2 by Ryan.
It’s a super fun/​laid back environment, really clean and they are very accommodating to work with you to get your drawing perfect.
True, we didn’t ever get anything super intricate, but I know they do that stuff beautifully too. But if you’re looking for a great place to get something pretty and delicate, thoughtfully and expertly placed on your wrist– this is a great spot.

Ryan Roi is an amazing artist who did a a coverup on my arm and wrist. The cover up is beautiful and you can’t tell that I had anything previously. Ryan worked really hard on my sketch and had no problems drawing it up three times. Talk about diligence. Every time I look down at my arm, I am proud to be sporting his work of art.
If you are thinking about getting a coverup, have a consult with him and he will work his magic, or if you just want an awesome tattoo, he’s the best.

Ryan can bust. Seriously, his work is sick. I asked him to sketch a huge rib piece for me incorporating multiple objects and ideas, and he did a beautiful job exceeding my expectations. He’s also incredibly patient and friendly, softly absorbing the many cursing insults I hurled at him while under the gun.
Great experience, very nice shop.

I’ve been getting tattooed for over 20 years, and Triple Diamond is my absolute favorite shop. Ever.
I had a half sleeve cover-​up piece that I wanted to turn into a full sleeve and get the not-​so-​great cover fixed (you could see what was underneath, which doesn’t count as a cover). Jon Jon did a piece for a friend that I liked so I stopped in, instantly liked him, and made an appointment. I only gave him a vague idea of the style I wanted and he came up with the perfect designs to cover the previously done job and make the full sleeve look seamless.
Aside from the great work done here, everyone is NICE. Jon Jon is super-​friendly. Shannon is the sweetest. The other artists working there are always cool. Anyone who has spent any amount of time in a tattoo shop knows this is a huge plus because it’s not the norm (in other words, there’s usually a huge amount of unnecessary and inexplicable attitude). Also, the music is great and not the usual death metal that seems to be a requirement for tattoo parlors (no offense to fans of death metal — it’s just not for everyone and not the most relaxing). The collection of oddities for sale are great to look at as you sit there for hours getting sleeved up as well! (Thanks for the raccoon penis. It made for a great birthday gift.)
I would recommend this shop to anyone. Whether you’re a veteran like myself or getting your first little tiny butterfly, these folks will make you feel right at home while they create a kick-​ass piece for you.

I had such a wonderful experience here!
Jon Jon is superb. I had a consultation with him a week prior to my tattoo and when I came in for my session he was ready to go. Sketched up the tattoo so fast and it was exactly what I wanted.
The whole process was great. I was really nervous since it was my first tattoo but Jon Jon made me feel very comfortable & had me laughing.
Didn’t even hurt! He worked quickly and cleanly and the overall experience took only 2.5 hours.
I absolutely adore my tattoo! It is exactly what I was hoping for. The colors are beautiful and vivid, and the shading is perfect!
It is also healing up beautifully, Jon Jon gave me specific instructions on how to take care of it before I left.
Thank you so much Triple Diamond Team! I am looking forward to joining you guys again for another tattoo. :)

I loved this place.
The staff is the sweetest, and I can’t express how nice is was to go to a place run by a couple. Shannon, Jon Jon, and Justin were very accomodating and even hung out with me after the tattoo was over. I needed a few minutes to just chill.
I walked in at 8:30 and the shop closes at 9. Without batting an eye, Jon Jon asks «Wanna do it now?» which is exactly what I wanted to do.
The shop itself is very cool and artsy. I don’t really care about décor that much as a customer, but they definitely had it going on so I feel the need to recognize that.
The tattoo: Jon Jon treated me like an old pal. He had all the confidence in the world which made me feel at ease. Shannon was also very good at making me feel relaxed, which was very much appreciated as I had strolled in solo without knowing anyone or what to expect. The tattoo turned out so great. I have been living with a shell of a great design for 10 years now and it finally is done some justice.
It’s perfect.
I also want to add that THREE surrounding tattoo shops had flat-​out turned the job down. I knew that it was kind of a dumb job (going over a pre-​existing tattoo) but hell, I needed it done. If other people turn you down for some bullshit reason and you know that deep down they are full of shit, go here and support an establishment who cares about you, making you happy and giving you beer while you get some ink done.
Out!

J’ai découvert TDT quand ma tatoueuse (française) y a passé quelques jours il y a plusieurs semaines en tant que guest.
Quand j’ai su que j’allais à NYC, l’idée de m’y faire tatouer a commencer a bien s’imposer et c’est donc naturellement que je me suis dirigée vers TDT. J’ai échangé beaucoup de mails avec Shannon, qui est à l’accueil du shop. On a parlé des motifs, des endroits où je voulais les faire et puis enfin, il a été question du tatoueur…
Diverses raisons ont fait que le choix final a été arrêté sur Matt Ellis. Et je né regrette pas du tout.
Quand je suis arrivée au shop, Matt a pris le temps de discuter avec moi, de m’arrêter net quand ce que je voulais n’était pas une bonne idée (en terme de couleur par exemple, certaines vieillissent mieux que d’autres) et a finalement fait des merveilles sur les deux motifs arrêtés. Tous ceux qui les ont vus sont impressionnés de la finesse des traits.
Je recommande vivement le shop pour quiconque souhaiterait se faire tatouer à NYC mais né saurait pas trop où s’orienter !
Par ailleurs, la boutique est un vrai cabinet de curiosité bourré de choses originales !

I was in Brooklyn and honestly was just looking to kill an hour. I walked in, no appointment, and luckily Matt was available. Warning! The other two artists had clients there for hour+ sessions as part of larger pieces, they’re won’t always be a free chair even in the afternoon, call ahead. Matt helped me find the right image, a CA flag, quoted me a great price, you will have to come in to get a price, no phone quotes. He cleaned the work space thoroughly, shaved and marked my arm for perfect placement, used new needles and went to work. The time estimate was spot on, one hour, he wrapped up the art and we settled up. Be prepared to prepay however. Bring Cash! Their Square app doesn’t always work. I would definitely go back if I’m ever in Brooklyn again.

My boyfriend and I got tattoos at Triple Diamond last weekend and had such a great experience! We researched top tattoo spots in Brooklyn and this spot popped up on a few lists, after reading more we decided to give it a shot: we are so glad we did!
Jon Jon was very accommodating and got us in the same evening we called. The tattoos we got were on point and he even touched up an old script of mine that was poorly done in the first place. There was no rushed feeling, and even though the tattoos we got were small he did a great job on the detail and didn’t give us the snobby feeling as if we were wasting his time (as I’ve gotten other places from artists like they were too good to do script or small design). He freehanded mine and meshed two of my boyfriend’s ideas into one flawlessly.
The atmosphere was great, quirky and comfortable; felt like it was the kind of place you could chill all day and have a great time. We will definitely be going back here for any future ink and would recommend to anyone looking to get work done big or small.

I probably shouldn’t give 5 stars to a tattoo place where I didn’t actually get tattooed but their little boutique of oddities in the front was exactly the kind of spot I didn’t know I was looking for. It was the perfect place to pick up unique (and a little weird) Christmas presents for those on my list who are hard to shop for. Mounted antlers for my sister, a collection of antique smelling salts for my dad, and some gorgeous handcrafted jewelry for a friend were some of the amazing finds I stumbled upon. And the staff was so nice and friendly! They will definitely become a regular stop when I make trips up to Brooklyn.

Jon Jon’s line work is remarkably crisp. He works fast and his colors stay bright. I lucked into an early spot within days of the shop opening and my piece looks as bright as it did once the scab fell off.
Shannon is front of house and such a sweet, smart lady. She’s been curating great antiques for their sales floor too — go in expecting to see amazing taxidermied peacocks and various sacrificial animals. Also, intricately carved bone earrings, some of which even fit people who don’t have stretched lobes.
They have a rotating crew of guest artists, including one who does irezumi.
I cannot recommend this shop enough.
