Logan, or The Master as I call him is a true artist. His work is original, realistic and completely customized for not only your body, and body placement, but he through conversa...

Okay so iv'e read many great reviews about Logan. How about this new tattoo artist, Ralfy Velez... \r \r Whats the quality of his tattoo's and service??? \r The reason I ask is...

this place is the placed to get pierced 4/25/2006

My piercer was very nice and made me feel comfortable right away. I felt comfortable asking lots of questions and he didn't get irritated when I changed my mind about what jewelry i wanted. He also gave me a lot of advice on aftercare. Pros: clean, Professional, knowledgable Cons: a little expensive more

Highly recommended!!! 3/31/2006

Extremely anxious, I went to Venus Modern Body Art to have my navel pierced. This was the one place recommended by friends. Other than having my ears pierced, I've never done any body art. Montana was fabulous! He did not pressure me in the least, was patient through my jewely search and helped me relax during the piercing. It honestly wasn't bad at all. My fears were unjustified. I followed his directions and haven't had any problems with the piercing. It barely even got pink! I went to a costume party about a month later, and no one believed the piercing was only 1 month old. I would recommend this place to anyone considering a piercing. I'm now considering a tattoo and will go back if/when I decide to get one. If so, I will probably be making another recommendation. Pros: Clean, Nice Staff, Professional Staff Cons: Limited parking more

Rhonda is amazing! 3/22/2006

Sure, Rhonda isn't super-fast, but hello, she's putting something permanent on your body! Call me crazy, but I *WANT* her to take her time. She did a consultation, drew up some ideas, encouraged me to be honest, and redid her drawings to reflect exactly what I wanted. She took a lot of time with my tattoo (my first) and her price was totally fare. She will totally be doing my second tattoo, third, and so on! Pros: Personal attention more

extremely satisfied customer 1/13/2006

I got my nose pierced here, they were friendly (but not sickeningly so), had no sales pressure and very clean. Also, they provide you with a sheet and ointment for after-care. I've enjoyed my piercing problem free, for three years now. I have had my belly button pierced years before somewhere else. I had so many problems with it I had to remove it. Plus, they didn't give me useful after-care instructions. So I can appreciate professionalism when I see it. And I'd trust them with my next piercing. Pros: clean, professional, well-lit Cons: location more

AWESOME!!! 1/2/2006

They were so friendly,helpful and the greatest !!The place is spotless and so clean. If I were you and you need a tattoo or piercing...why take your chances anywhere else? Go to the best in the NYC area!! Pros: Extremely clean, very helpful, patient Cons: in "Alphabet city" more

No other option 12/12/2005

I actually didn't get my piercing done here, but I had a problem with a piercing I had gotten recently. A friend recomened I go to this location to get it taken care of. With so many places to chose from in the city it's kind of hard to weed out the good from the bad. I walked in and felt instantly comfortable. The place was clean, had a huge selection of body jewelry and the staff was amazingly helpful. Montana helped me pick out new jewelry and even helped me get it in. Everything was perfectly sterile and realy easy and laid back. I know the next time I get work done it will definatly be here, and I will send everyone I know here as well. Pros: Staff , Cleanliness, Prices more

Excellent 12/7/2005

Went there to get my first tattoo, and it was just a wonderful experience. Rhonda helped design it, and although I knew what I wanted, she made some really expert suggestions on placement and exact design. A little expensive, and she's not the most timely person, but an excellent and really accomodating artist. The reason she runs late is because she spends so much time with everyone. A+ Pros: Friendly, Good Aftercare Advice, Great Artistry Cons: A big pricey more

Rhonda Rocks 8/9/2005

I was visiting New York from out of town and my sister and I decided to go get tattoos. We went to Rhonda to get them. She was really cool about everything, helping us design our tattoos and making us as comfortable as possible. It was my sister's first tattoo and Rhonda made her forget about being nervous. The place was also very clean, I had heard horror stories about New York Tattoo places but Venus Modern Body Arts was very well kept. In conclusion Rhonda made my first visit to New York City an unforgetable experiance! more

don't bother 7/2/2005

the tattoo artist took two drop-ins ahead of me, completely disregarding the appointment i'd made. it got so late i had to reschedule. when i came back i still waited two hours while they got their stuff together! the only reason i got tattooed is because they wouldn't refund my deposit even after i pointed out they'd wasted four hours of my time. the tattoo looks nice, and the staff is talented and friendly, but there are plenty of places in manhattan that do quality work without being so expensive and disorganized. Pros: clean, friendly Cons: disorganized, unprofessional, expensive more

the ONLY place to go 4/14/2005

The best for all your piercing needs. SOOOO clean. They sterilized my jewelry for 45 minutes! I got my nipple pierced by Ian who was awesome. The jewelry is magnificently gorgeous though expensive. There's no place like it. Pros: Clean, Experienced, Unique Jewelry Cons: Expensive more

VENUS RULEZ!!!!!! 3/16/2005

CLEAN ! FUN! GET POKED BY THEM! ONLY TRUSTED PLACE BY MOST PEOPLE WHO KNOW THEIR PIERCINGS! more

Amazing! 3/15/2005

I just got my tattoo here and it turned out wonderfully. I am incredibly happy with it. It's PERFECT. Ask for Ronda - she's amazing. She's been tattooing for 16 years and really knows what she's doing. She helped me design my tattoo to make it exactly perfect and what I wanted. Highly recommended! more

GREAT EXPERIENCE 3/15/2005

venus is hands down the best shop in the city. it's clean, they always have great music playing and their piercers are funny and friendly. i always leave there smiling. more

killer 2/27/2005

as far as piercing goes - i haven't been tattoed here [yet!] venus is the absolute best ... really talented staff, SUPER clean of course, and an amazing selection of jewelry (some of it can get expensive, but it depends what you get, there's tons of really gorgeous stuff) . the place is really chill and though it's a huge haul from my apt, there's no way i'd go anywhere else in the city. ask for marilyn or montana when you're there Pros: Friendly, Clean, Professional more

THE BEST IN NYC 2/13/2005

Venus is hands down the best tattoo/piercing in Manhattan. This is the ONLY place I trust in addition to NY Adorned. Awesome jewelry selection, cool staff, and I have never waited more than 5 minutes for everything ... perhaps I go at good times. I've been going to Venus for years, and if you're looking for an immaculately sterile and friendly place, you should too. more

Lovely Jewerly, but... 2/9/2005

I really like the jewerly. I am a regular customer. But, the service at the new store on Broadway is so SLOW. One day I went there and the owner checked out my piercing that might have been an infection. Mind you, it wasn't busy. They had me want at least an hour to see me.That doesn't make any sense. I still kick myself sometimes when I think why I didn't say anything. The owners lame apology wasn't enough. Hey, I have other things to do in my day then wait an hour of a 10min service. I am no rush to go back.SLOW ON SERVICE AND ORDERS!! BE PREPARE TO WAIT, OR SPEAK UP IF YOU ARE WAITING TOO LONG! Pros: Lovely Jewerly, Unique Cons: Slow Service, Slow Order more

Best Experience Ever 1/14/2005

I had three piercings done at once... and it was the best experience ever... I wasn't totally sure what I wanted... but had a general idea... the piercer worked with me... showing me different jewelery... and we finally came to a totally cool decision... I am so happy with my piercings... and most importantly... the place was clean and all of the equipment was sterile... Pros: Helpful, Clean, Enjoyable more

Make an Appointment 12/4/2004

Call Maria to make an appointment so you don't have to wait long. Pros: Very reasonable, Custom Jewelery more

Ronda's the BEST 3/13/2004

Ronda is a GREAT tattoo artist. Her work is amazing, she's done tons of celebrities and she does GREAT dragons. more

Highly Recommend this place - still the best ever 3 years later 1/9/2003

This was my second piercing at Venus, first was VCH three years ago (2003) this time triangle two days ago. My first experience was good. I had to lose the VCH for unrelated reasons about a year ago. I went back two days ago and it was fantastic, sublime even and I am not a piercing junkie. \r Marilyn did my triangle - get it done here folks! She is truly amazing. I have no tolerance for pain and only go for functional piercings - the promise of pleasure once the piercing healed pushed me to go for it. I had been shivering with fear on the long train ride downtown and when I got there I got even more nervous. As I waited for my turn I got more nervous - there was a short wait but I didn't mind waiting because I was so scared. When my turn came I was a total nervous wreck. I got on the bed and tried not to shake. I considered getting up and running away. I told Marilyn I was very nervous, she said that was a good thing. She talked to me a bit about anatomy and placement, took time and was very careful with finding and marking the spot, I really appreciated it given the location. I asked her if she would tell me when she makes the piercing. She talked to me about what she was doing at each step, and what the next step was. When she had found the spot, she asked me to take two breaths and as I started to breath out the second time I felt something for a split second and it was over. I was shocked and ecstatic, ""what! we're done?"" Marilyn is the most amazing fastest piercer ever. You barely feel it because she is so fast. I realised after the fact that it was done. I remembered feeling something but it was so fast by the time my brain registered that I had felt something, she was already done. Fantastic. I would never go anywhere else for a piercing. I can't imagine what kind of piercing emergency would send me anywhere else. Pros: Fastest piercer on earth, knowledgeable and amiable piercer, advanced piercings more
