Hudson Valley Tattoo Company

I happened upon these guys after trying to book a walk in all over wappingers/Poughkeepsie, over two years ago, I’m so glad they were the place I found. I have since finished up some small tattoos and a full sleeve with Mike. I couldn’t be More pleased with how amazing it looks! I wouldn’t recommend any other shop. They are entirely professional, everyone is super friendly, they go out of their way make you feel welcome and the work is GORGEOUS! Some seriously talented artists.I felt totally comfortable going in after they reopened after Covid shut downs, as they took every precaution possible to keep staff and customers safe! I travel over an hour to them and I will never get tattooed anywhere else! Well worth the price and travel time. If I could give them more stars I would!

This shop provides an incredible service and high quality experience. I had a large hip piece completed by Jason that took four 6 hour sessions, and every session I was welcomed back warmly by the staff. Not only did Jason do INCREDIBLE work and provide a comfortable experience and great conversation, but the entire staff shared excitement over my new tattoo which made the experience even more special. Throughout the sessions, other artists would come look at the work I was having done and make encouraging comments. The shop is extremely clean and well managed. Each artist has a unique and clean-cut style that ensures the shop will have a capable artist on hand for any piece a customer desires. It was so nice to meet the staff and I have recommended the shop to everyone I know. I look forward to coming back for more work in the future.

I've had experiences with several tattoo shops over the years and have spent approximately 15 hours getting work done by Diego over the last few months. The shop is open, creative and inviting. All the artists work is of superior quality and each has their own specialties. They are friendly, funny and professional. They really know what they are doing, provide excellent customer service and give back to their community. Smart and very talented group of artists and business people.

I recommend this shop to anyone and everyone that asks about my tattoos! I've had the pleasure of working with both Tyler and Jason. The shop is clean and my favorite part is that it has a funny and relaxing atmosphere. Who wants to be stressed with getting ink? Everyone I've seen there is professional, courteous and willing to work with the customer to the highest of their ability. I will definitely be back, soon!!

I got my first tattoo here, and it was absolutely the best experience I could have had. Taka did a great job putting me at ease, and my tattoo is beautiful. The other artists were also really chill, and the whole vibe of the place was so comfortable and welcoming. I will definitely be back soon.

I went to Hudson Valley Tattoo Co for my first tattoo last year in August. Everyone was so nice there Nick was at the front desk. He greeted me with a smile and was very patient and thorough. When it came to the day of the tattoo I was greeted again and felt very comfortable. The place was very clean and professional. Julian was my artist and was very patient with me and my nervousness of my first tattoo, questions, and finding the perfect placement. During the tattoo Julian was again patient with my questions and was very informational and wasn’t heavy handed at all. After it was over he talked me over the aftercare instructions and gave me the easy to follow list. One thing I would say is later on friends and family did say it was slightly overpriced but I find it was worth it. It’s almost been a year and my tattoo has healed perfectly. I plan on returning and recommend others to do so.

Took my wife to talk about a new tattoo for the both of us. As soon as you walk in you're greeted. Nick spoke with us and had my wife speak with Taka and had me speak with Orin. What a great experience. We both have multiple pieces from many shops, but this shop is so clean and the staff are so great. I think we found our new tattoo studio. Can't wait to get our tattoos done.

I feel so lucky to live in a town where a shop like this exists. HVTC is hands down the best tattoo shop I have ever been to. More than anything, the artists here are on another level in terms of talent. I have never seen a single bad piece come out of this shop. The shop is clean and the staff is down to earth and friendly. Do yourself a favor and go here!

Shish is currently working on a full sleeve on my left arm, and after 5 long sessions I cannot be happier with the work and his professionalism during the process. The shop is always clean and very welcoming. Bathrooms and waiting area are all well maintained and the artwork and interior design is fantastic. I also love how open the tattooing area is and wish more shops adopted this layout. It's much more communal and less "cubicle" feeling, which is really welcoming when you are laying in one spot for a few hours. The shop also gets a ton of natural light which really contributes to the overall aesthetic of the shop. I would highly recommend these guys if you are looking to get any kind of work done. I live in Brooklyn, and have been gladly making the 90 minute trip up. There's a ton of beautiful hikes and activities in the Hudson Valley, so make be sure to check out the local sights before or after you get tattooed.

This place is incredible!

I live in the east village, NYC with plenty of tattoo shops at my doorstep but chose to head upstate to have my tattoo updated and added onto. From start to end HVTC was professional and fun to work with. The shop is spotless and everyone is super friendly and so talented. My artist Taka is an incredible creative with great energy and focus. I love my new tattoo!! The detail, shading, placement, movement and color is top notch. I'm recommending him to everyone. This place is a MUST for anyone wanting to get their body not simply inked with cookie cutter stencil tattoos but adorned with ART!
