Moon Sheen Tattoo

I stopped by last night on a whim to get my conch (lower cartilage) pierced, and found myself blown away by Randy’s professionalism. He took his time to make sure we found the right placement; made a point to show me everything was new and hermetically sealed; was very stern about after-​care; and kept checking on me (it was my first piercing, so I was just a little bit nervous). He did a quick, clean, relatively painless job, and I will definitely be back!

I got my last two tattoos done here. These guys are amazing. I will definitely be coming back for my next one too.

10÷29÷15 Great tattoo done by Artist Val Yoma. Moon Sheen Tattoo parlor was: Very clean, staff was attentive & professional. Excellent work. Thank you!

Randy’s the bomb.
I strolled in around 9:30pm for a simple lobe piercing and Randy had me out by 9:45 (would’ve been even faster if I hadn’t taken my sweet time checking out the jewelry).
The place is really clean and all the stuff that should be sterile was just that. Randy is professional and super friendly — He explained what he was doing, took his work seriously but wasn’t uptight about it, and gave me a nice clean piercing.
If you’re looking for a solid piercing, I highly recommend Randy and Moon Sheen!

I got my first tattoo last night with Kevin King at West 4^th Tattoo. I was so nervous and the entire crew, especially Kevin was so professional and nerve soothing. I absolutely adore my tattoo; the work is beautiful. I could not be happier. I could not recommend Kevin and the shop more. Thank you! #awesomepermanentdecision

Great shop with great people! All of the artists do beautiful work and make sure their customers leave happy. All of the example artwork hanging on the walls just proves how talented each of the artists are.
Prices correspond with the quality of the work they produce. Hoping to come back and get tattoos from each of the artists, they’re all so friendly and helpful! Definitely worth the time and money if you’re interested in tattoos or piercings.

I got my cartilage double pierced by Yoon. She was super sweet and did a wonderful job! I was visiting NYC with my mom and aunt, and I wanted to get a piercing. So I researched where to go, and I am so glad I chose this place! I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to get an awesome piercing!

Today, I spontaneously walked into Moon Sheen to get my first tattoo. Had no idea what to expect due to the fact that I had gotten only a piercing there before.
Seriously the most down to earth, most professional artists I have ever met. Shout out to Daniel for the reassuring and extremely awesome work for a small tat.
Very clean, Very precise and Very friendly. While the most simple encounter, twas a memorable one. And so the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Moon Sheen.

Not quite sure why there are negative reviews against Val. I have gone to him several times for tattoos (my friends have as well). He was extremely sanitary everytime he tattooed any of us. The shop is well kept and staff is great.
Moral of the story is, if you are getting poked with a needle and you think it’s unsafe or unsanitary but still continue to ALLOW the person to do it, the fault lies with you. Can’t wait to go and get some more tattoos by Val.

I got my first tattoo here on my ribcage by Chang, it’s a script and I love it!!! My friends all told me it’s the most sensitive part of body and it’s gonna hurt, but it’s actually better than I expected and it’s totally tolerable, maybe because Change did it very gentle and fast. The tattoo comes out perfect, just the way i wanted. People in the store are all very friendly and funny. I love the vibes in this place. if I wanna get another tattoo I’ll def come back here. Thanks so much guys especially Chang!

I can not say enough good things about this tattoo shop. Not only are the artists original, honest, and all around good people — they take pride in what they do and expect the same respect from clients that they give day after day, without fault.
Val did one of my first tattoos at another shop and I have actually since followed him here. I continue to come back because of the quality of his work and his immense attention to detail — he has done 4 tattoos for me now, some quite large and intricate, and even an amazing cover up that turned out better than I could have imagined! Val is extremely careful, sanitary, and his tattoos have all healed very fast without complication. I work in luxury retail and have learned to value truly good customer service — that is what you get with Val and all of the others working at this location, including the managers.
5 Stars!

Got my newest tat done by JK, super cool guy. :) Quick work too. Definitely worth the cash dropped. And they totally sucked me in! I mean, I was just looking around and suddenly I was in the chair! But I have absolutely zero regrets! Great place!

I got a tattoo from Kevin King last night and could not be happier with it — I was a walk in around 11:30 or so. Kevin was awesome — very down to earth and accommodating, very positive vibe. I kept changing my mind about the design and he was very patient — he even touched up a couple of lines from another tattoo I have (different artist) for free! I would highly recommend this shop; NYC has many pretentious tattoo artists with bad attitudes towards tattoo amateurs like myself (I have 5 small ones) but Kevin is not one of them. He is respectful and understanding and will be patient while you ask 50 questions if you are new to tattoos. Overall it was an amazing experience at this shop and i HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Kevin King for your next tattoo!

I love this place and the people there.
If you’re looking for a great tattoo shop, especially in the West Village, I guarantee you will not find a better place than Moon Sheen. The owner is amazing and actually has a second location on the same street (West4), the staff at both locations are undeniably talented in both ink and piercings, and both establishments are clean and kept.
The tattoo artists at Moon Sheen are wonderful. Professional and fun, they definitely are amazing visionaries. They do everything from realism, to watercolor, American old school, etc. They wipe down everything after each session and of course, always use new needles. I got my tattoo here two years ago from an artist who left back for Korea, but I’m planning to get another one by the end of the year. They’re always willing to work with you and make sure you get EXACTLY what you want so DO NOT HESITATE to speak up.
If you’re looking for a cheap tattoo, do not come here. I actually don’t think you deserve a tattoo if you’re looking to be cheap. These people are skilled in their craft and they know how to deliver. Never leave without tipping because that’s not only rude, but your artist just put a masterpiece on you.
Oh. Piercings are also fantastic here, but they have a larger collection of jewelry at their other location.
Anyways, quick shout out to Chang, Kevin, Val, Danny, Soyoon, and Anna (especially cuz she does the most wicked piercings ever)! You guys are the shiznizzleeeeeee.

Wow! What a great place!!! Val did my tattoo, I had an idea of an owl with vibrant colors. I had it done on my back shoulder so I didn’t see any of the process or how the colors would look like, but I always believe that tattoo artists are like hair stylists– the more creative freedom they get– the better the result. They know what will look good or not. So after finally getting to see the finished work, the actual tattoo ended up 1000 times better than I even imagined. Clean place, professional and on point. Fantastic drawing!!! Thank you!

Evan is amazing. A true artist. He’s reasonable in price for the level of professionalism, skill and talent. My husband has gotten two tattoos there (Father’s Day and Birthday gifts from me) and the work is flawless.
Excellent body art that will last a lifetime. I strongly recommend them and Evan! :)

Walked into place because it was close to my aunt’s job and was a little nervous to not have been sent by referral who knew any particular artist’s work. I was pleasantly surprised. Yoon was my artist and she was pleasant enough, but most importantly knew what she was doing. In love with the finished work!
Great location in the Village.

I got my nose pierced here (first piercing ever btw). They were really nice and clean. I didn’t get the name of the guy that did my piercing but he was super informative about cleaning and the best placement. It was a great experience:)

I got my first tattoo here yesterday and it was an amazing experience. I did my research first and decided I wanted Kevin to do my tattoo based on his portfolio. 2 weeks ago I walked in to make an appointment and spoke with Kevin about my ideas. When I showed up to my appointment he had a few sketches ready. He was very patient with me through out the whole process and his work is meticulous. I highly recommend Kevin and Moon Sheen Tattoo.

I was out with my boyfriend on a random Saturday night in the village. As we were walking around I got the bright idea to walk in and go get a tattoo!!!
We came late on a Saturday night both of the tattoo artist there were already working with clients so we had a bit of a wait. As we waited one of the tattoo artist came over and greeted us asked what we were looking for, and I told him I wanted my Brothers name. He gave us some ideas and books to look through while he finished his other clients.
When it was my turn I picked out a font via the computer screen mounted on the wall, I put my big girl panties on and sat in the chair. My tattoo artist was very nice and efficient he check over his work a few times to ensure it was straight before he started the ink.
I got my tattoo on my wrist and it hurt like hell! But it was over in about 15 minutes. I was super happy with the outcome! This place was so awesome my sister came the following week and got inked too!
