Inkline Studio

Ok i have NOT YET gotten a tattoo from him, but i did have a consultation with his associate, a friendly but to the point woman. It was hard to ask for a general price from her, but reading some of the reviews where he charges 16 000 for a tattoo. Looking at his work how can you complain?

Anil is an absolute genius. He is the perfect combo of professional and personable. His work is detailed, thought out and incredibly precise. His studio is beautiful, clean and state of the art. Anil Gupta is the sole reason why I fell in love with art and ink!

ok, lets start this off by getting the obvious out of the way… anil gupta is a world class premier tattoo artist. his work is stunning and his skill is masterful.
with that said… we can get on to why hes getting 1 star.
i paid a total of $ 600 for «consultations». i went to his office to work on the design with him 3 times at $ 200 a pop. expensive? you betchya, but i was willing to pay it because hes so good. of course a lot of those hours were spent with him making small talk and asking me questions about my design that were not relevant to the design process itself. i went in there knowing exactly what i wanted, there wasnt much to figure out. we could have easily knocked off an entire session at least by cutting that crap out.
at the end of the third consultation when the design was finalized (and it looked AMAZING) he then… and only then told me my tat was going to take a year and a half to complete and cost me… are you ready for this… $ 16,000. oh yeah… you read that right, sixteen THOUSAND dollars.
what was i getting? you might ask. a HALF sleeve. yeah… half.
are you f’ing kidding me? there is no half sleeve on earth that would take that long or cost anywhere near that ridiculous price. not to mention the 600 bucks i already paid him wasnt even going to go towards the tat itself.
AAAND…he wouldnt even give me a copy of the design… which was MY design and that i paid $ 600 for.
so suffice to say… anil may be an excellent artist and tattooist, but the guy is an absolute rip off. there was never any mention of the laughable pricing… or the unimaginable time frame he was working with for the 3 visits i had with him. only at the end did he think to mention those things. gee i wonder why.
i was beyond devastated. i had waited 5 years to even call the guy, because i knew he was expensive. of course… a tattoo is not a thing you want to scrimp on, but come on man. 5 years of waiting and saving… only to be taken for $ 600 and not get a tattoo.
so…if you happen to be independently wealthy and have all the time in the world… anil gupta will give you an amazing tattoo.

Anil is a true master at his work. I couldn’t be more happier with the piece he did for me of my 2 daughters. If you are considering portrait work there is no one better in the world in my opinion.

I have gotten tattoos from Anil and JP. Both are amazing artists and super nice guys. If you are looking to get a quality tattoo done and i mean QUALITY, than this is the place to go. If your one of those people that want to pick from a book, or off a flash art wall than this is not your place.
I found Inkline Studio a few years ago through a Google search of the best tattoo artists in the world. After reading all the reviews about it, I decided to make an appointment with JP to get my first tattoo. Angie the receptionist was extremely nice and very easy to get in contact with regarding my consultation and sessions. As a side note I would definitely call ahead and make an appointment. This place gets a lot of customers.
When you walk in, the place looks more like a gallery than a tattoo shop. It is super clean and very well organized.
JP made my first tattoo a truly remarkable experience, he is a true professional in his field. He worked with me every step of the way to design and create my tattoo. I will definitely be back to get another from him. I also like the fact that JP has a background in art and graphic design, and was a teacher as well.
I am baffled at how amazing and talented Anil is. He does not look like your average tattoo artist, but he is the best. He is very professional and genuinely interested in every tattoo he does. He did a great amount of research for my tattoo to make sure everything looked as realistic as possible. Oh and did i mention that he did everything freehand, which I couldn’t believe.
I can not say enough good things about Inkline Studio, if you are looking for a quality tattoo and an amazing artist to do it than look no further.

Anil Gupta is a true master of his craft, the crème de la crème of tattoo artists and a dying breed of individuals who spend their lives perfecting, studying and fine tuning their gifts.
My husband has pieces skillfully done by Anil and they truly are fine pieces of art. So, if you’re drunk to lost a bet and a tattoo is you’re way to define the occasion, this is not the artist to run such BS by.
He is a natural born philosopher who wants to study your reasoning behind the art you commissioning him to create. Your story needs to inspire him, and make sure you have the resources you would if you we’re hiring the best attorney or doctor and your life depended on it. He is worth every penny and the art which you and him will have created together will become your life long connection.
He is one of a kind, and this is the place to go if you’re very serious about the quality of art you’ll be taking with you for the rest of this life and the level of mastery your paying for…

I came all the way from Copenhagen, Denmark for a tattoo from Anil. Pricy tattoo yes, but worth every cent! When in NYC — and wanting a piece… Go to inkline for artwork and professional consultation. Rest assured that no one here will ink something they dont believe will look great.

A tattoo is FOREVER and the folks at Inkline understand that. Anil and JP are artists first and foremost and anybody would be lucky to pick up a piece from them. I was particularly impressed with how much consideration was given to how the tattoo would age. The studio is pristine — «operating room» clean! Angie, Anil’s wife, is a delight to work with in scheduling and consultation. You can expect a wait to get in but once you do, you will get exactly what you wanted and more. In short, you absolutely get what you pay for at Inkline! Check out the their portfolios on

I think the work is indeed beautiful, but $ 200 for a consultation? Such a rip-​off! My cousin did a small Om tattoo at another location and was charged $ 50. I wanted the same, and the receptionist — (Angie) stated $ 650. I’m sorry but they would have to blow me for that price! check out —
in the same neighborhood with quality service and affordable price.

When you want art instead of flash. When you want stunning instead of yeah it looks ok. Lets be honest there is nothing worse then seeing an ugly blob of a tat on a otherwise beautiful person. This is not a flash filled wall, come on in anytime and get a tat place. This is a gleaming spotless studio. Here will you will find the master of masters when it comes to tattoos. Want Ivy league educated or perhaps Guinness book of World records artist? The two artists are truly that;artists, but really don’t take it from me look at their website to see work they have done. You will be ohhhh and ahhhing and want one for yourself. Perhaps more expensive then the typical parlor but worth it. PS just saw that NYink show YUCK who wants a tat from a bunch of whiny fighting people.
PS yes I do have a tat from this studio. it is beautiful and perfect.
