Got a matching tattoo here with my mom 2 years ago and had a great experience! We came as walk ins and waited less than two hours. Place was very clean and we both received quality tattoos at a very reasonable price! Healed marvelously within a week and looks like new after 2 years. Would absolutely recommend, especially to friends and family.

Absolutely amazing first tattoo experience would recommend any of my friends to go theyre extremely professional well still having a relaxed shop that anyone could feel comfortable at got mine done with spenny and wont be going anywhere else explains everything hes doing an how to take care of it once youre home if youre looking for a chill shop go in an talk to anyone an theyll make u feel welcome. Thx again for the amazing work spenny

The piercer here is really great; she was super easy to communicated with, prepared me for the piercing, and was just overall very nice. I called on Monday and was able to get an appointment by Wednesday. The only thing one might want to note is that the staff here dont wear masks. I know that there is currently no mask mandate in Rochester, and many people are vaccinated, just as a student at U of R I keep my mask on when I am anywhere in the city. I just thought I would share that to caution people who may be uncomfortable with that.Overall, this was a good experience and I would recommend getting a piercing here

I went in to get my earlobes pierced, and the overall experience was very pleasant. It was my first time getting any kind of piercing done but Marli explained the entire procedure very well and it was quick and easy. I suddenly came really close to passing out after my second piercing but she was very patient and helpful while I sat in the shop for a while to recover. All in all, the service was great and reasonably priced too!

Range did an excellent job on mine and my best friends tattoos! He was very thorough and tidy with getting his setup ready and took his time to make sure everything was clean and well done. I also appreciated that he wasnt chatty or gossipy like ive experienced at other tattoo shops, he was very focused on his work and diligent. Prices are beyond reasonable, the only downside to this place is that its cash only, but they have an ATM inside just in case.

All of the staff is very friendly, I felt very comfortable getting my first tattoo there. Spenny was awesome, very funny and did a great job on my tattoo and assured me it wouldnt hurt that bad. Id love to come back although Im not a fan of the city location.

Someone recommended this place to me and I’ll recommend Marli for all your piercing needs. Good vibes as you walk through the door! She’s Very Knowledgeable and makes it comfortable for you. Also Boston is awesome and made it 100x better!!!!

The piercer marli is amazing! I highly recommend going to her she was so welcoming and makes sure she does the piercing the correct way. I came to her after getting botched nipple piercing and she’s definitely boosted my confidence 100%

My artist was Spenny, and he did such an amazing job! He was thorough, made me feel comfortable, and I will be returning to him for my next tattoo. He is very very good at script work, I got a tattoo of my dads handwriting and he nailed it. 10/10 would recommend! :)

Super busy. Was a little unsure at first but Marli was great at piercing my nose and cleaned me up real good. Loved the directions she sent as well. Will definitely be returning for future body piercings

I had my septum pierced by Marli a week ago, and I had a great experience with the shop. She did a great job of walking me through the piercing process and aftercare. So far the piercing is healing up great, and I would definitely recommend this shop. The shop dog was a total sweetheart and helped calm my jitters for sure. 10/10!

My brother and I got matching tattoos from Spenny and we love them! Such a cool guy and such amazing work!! Would definitely recommend him!

Marli was my piercer for the septum and she was really kind and nice because I was kinda nervous. Thank you!

I used to get my tattoos done at Physical however after visiting Mellow Madness, Ill never go anywhere else. The shop itself was immaculate, you can really tell that the employees care about cleanliness.I got to work with Spenny Turbo and I cannot say enough good things about him. Extremely professional, I provided him my artwork and he turned it around same day. Fantastic artist, tattoo came out looking exactly what I envisioned. Hes also incredibly knowledgable on tattoo care. Ive never worked with an artist before that really cared as much as he did.I will definitely be returning to Mellow Madness in the future and would love to work with Spenny again.Cannot recommend this shop and artist enough!

I got my septum done the other day, and the experience was great. The vibes in the place were good, the decoration were cool, and the service was amazing. My peircing was down quickly and nearly painlessly, and its been healing great so far. They were also super helpful in walking my through it, and even sent my information an aftercare and how to make my own cleaning solution.

Darbi gave me an absolute incredible first tattoo. From entry to exit she was very nice and made me feel calm. Equipment and the procedure overall was very clean and safe.

I got my nose pierced there a week ago today they were so nice the lady that pierced my nose was really sweet and walked me through the process. i would definitely go back to get other piercings!

Marli pierced my septum and did an awesome job on both calming my nerves and on the piercing itself I had no pain whatsoever!! Highly recommend I won’t be going anywhere else!

Cons frist: Some staff seem like they have attitudes or don’t want to be there. It’s cash only. I don’t see any parking specific to the shop. There are 2 steps into the shop and no visible accessibility for people using mobility aids such as wheelchairs, walkers, etc.Pros: they have an atm in the shop. There is street parking that’s usually available. They are EXTREMELY informative and take their time. I got pierced by Marli and my piercing came out crooked. She fixed it immediately and made sure it was to my standard. She did not blame me (like other places would) or make me feel bad for saying something about the placement. She took her time to make sure she could make it right and the piercing came out PERFECT!

Went to see Darbi for my first tattoo, she was super nice and did an amazing job. Will definitely be coming back!

Marli is great at placing piercings and walking through what to expect and aftercare....BUT they use poor quality jewelry (all piercings should be done with implant grade titatium), they pierce with improper jewelry (ie. a nostril should be pierced with a flat back stud not a hoop), and recommend making your own salt wash which is non sterile.

The first time I crossed this shop, I had a fever dream to fix a chili pepper on my wrist that was so botched from a scratcher I didnt think it was salvageable... woody sat me down and within 10 minutes of meeting me changed my life. He has fixed several botched works on me and done large fully custom pieces that blow my family and friends away. If you want a unique, clean tattoo and a quick, comfortable experience, ask for woody. He will hook you up.

Excited to work with Chuck & the other artists here. Get your itch to get more ink scratched here. Best in Rochester Ive found so far.

I went to get my ears pierced. I have never been there but live nearby. I called the day before and the receptionist was very friendly and helped me with all of my questions, and we got an appointment scheduled. When I arrived, the experienced piercer explained to me what the process was and let me choose from a variety of sizes and values of earring. The process was very smooth and not painful. She assured me that out of 10, the pain will be 0.5. I am very happy with my experience, and recommend a tattoo parlor over a mall any day.

Everyone was friendly, courteous, and willing to go above and beyond to give you exactly what you want. They worked around our schedule, even so much as to squeeze a last minute appointment in with very little info. The design was perfect, pricing extremely fair, and I cant recommend Darbi Marbles enough. Definitely will continue to return to this shop.

First time in the shop and I had a great experience. My appointment was with Andy. He was very friendly and had great customer service. LOVING my new tattoos!!! I highly recommend this place and will be coming back for future tattoos😁👍

My new tattoo is fabulous! I walked in one day, chatted with Woody about what I was looking for in a design, sent him a couple pics and made an appointment to return a couple weeks later. My appointment got started a little late, but I had a couple minor tweaks for the design, so it was cool anyway. Woody has some serious talent!The people I interacted with were friendly. Its a nice laid back environment. I zoned out for 3ish hours and at the end had a unique piece of art on my leg. Im dreaming up the next piece of art already!Thanks for a great experience, Ill be sending anyone who is looking for a great place to get some ink to you guys.

AMAZING place. VERY friendly. All around awesome atmosphere. I will definitely be going back

10,000% Awesome!! Staff is very friendly and the shop has a chill, relaxed atmosphere. It is super clean. Marlee did my piercing and she is EVERYTHING!!

Got a piercing! Didn’t have an appointment, but called ahead and got squeezed in. Super cool, quick, and nicely done! I’ll be coming back for the rest of my piercings!!!

Very calm, professional,friendly atmosphere, the piercer was great made me and a friend of mine feel completely at ease! Would definitely recommend!

Absolutely an amazing experience! Chuck was my artist but all the artists were attentive to their clients and made sure they were happy with the whole process. I would definitely recommend again!

Went in for a tattoo app on the 6th of January, 2021. Woody, who was supposed to be finishing my left sleeve didnt show up and didnt call me back either; a normal person wouldve at least called me back in a instance like this. Tried calling back three times with no success to get ahold of the artist. Shouldnt of had to do that, but I truly believe in working with people from all walks of life, no matter who they are.Been getting tattooed for nearly 10 years now, so I know life problems happen sometimes, even with COVID-19 going on. Im also (normally speaking) a really good client, pay well, and have always maintained a strong relationship with my artists in every shop in every state Ive been in. That being said this is the first I ever had this happen to me out of the blue. Bottom line, I extremely disappointed and cannot let this off the hook (hence, the review).I genuinely wish both the staff and Woody at Mellow Madness well (believe it or not) and wish them continued success, but after this BS, I gotta move on. Take care.

I just went there the other day to get my septum pierced and I had a great experience! I dont remember the girls name who was my piercer, but anyways she did an amazing job! I was really nervous that it was going to hurt or that it would hit my cartilage but nope, she made it almost painless actually and people say that that piercing hurts the worst! Thanks so much!

Had my mose ring changed. The lady had no personality. Kinda rude actually.

Tried to get small tattoo,had appt scheduled,artist could not show up on time that day.he rescheduled,said I would receive a call when a previous client was finished...didn’t receive any type of phone call...AT ALL.

I was pretty comfortable there and it was definitely a clean place. Woody did my tattoo and I love it.

Very happy with the my cover up. Great transformation

I’ve been going to Woody at Mellow Madness for the last couple years. He has done all my work & I leave after ever session beyond satisfied with the outcome of my tattoos. I will continue to go to MMTP for my work. The staff is all friendly & welcoming. Great conversation & just a great overall tattoo experience. I Would highly recommend!

Great atmosphere and even better artists! Great covid protocols (even though thats why theyre booked so far out) but 100% worth the wait! Plus, Marbles is the best!

After 6 years since my first tattoo at 18 in Spain to just getting a new one last night this shop was far better than the prior one I went to and really recommend them. Everything was organized and Range really worked with me to customize and make my tattoo how I wanted. His line work is really clean and precise. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to get ink and definitely will be back for more. Thank you Mellow Madness for a great experience and shop!

Ben did a great job on my Celtic cross tattoo. Definitely coming back for more ink.

Woody is awesome! Great with mammalian tattoos with his own flair that really brings a unique aspect to his tattoos.

Excellent professional work done by Andrew. Sweet new location, warm and welcoming!

I loved Mellow Madness. I went to get my very first tattoo and they were so welcoming. My artist was nice and gentle and made sure my tattoo experience was better than how it felt. I am definitely coming back for another tattoo sometime soon.

Super clean, everyone was very friendly. Woody did my tattoo and it came out perfectly! Even let me watch him design it, which was very cool and relaxing. Definitely going back there for my next one!

Getting a tattoo removed. Very helpful, informative, and professional.

Me and my sister recently went there to get tattoos with Range. He was fantastic!!!!!! I highly recommend this parlor and him as an artist.

Excellent artists! Clean environment. Fair prices for outstanding artwork!

My sister and I wanted matching tattoos and Range was able to fit us in last minute. Out tattoos turned out fantastic!

I got an industrial barbell piercing and my anatomy was a bit problematic, but my piercer expertly informed me about the piercing and helped me take the best route. Everyone was really nice!

Reasonably priced and they know their stuff. A great business right in the city

Not enough employees to take care of customers as they come in. Waited 30 min to even be acknowledged. Guy who did tattoo was great. Didnt hurt too bad for my 1st one.

Omg they are so good and I feel so happy and comfortable with the place I loved it and I really recommend 💯

Range is awesome. My friend and sister from Minneapolis was in town and we were able to get a sister tattoo done by him. He makes you feel very comfortable and is very professional. I recommend his work and we just love him. Plus, the shop dog is extra sweet. Very nice clean space. Ask for Range and tell him Rauncie loves him.

Very talented artists, and a great shop atmosphere. Andy May is the artist I go to for my tattoos, and he does an amazing job. He also pierced my daughters ears. My girls were 5 and 7 at the time, and very nervous. Andy did a fantastic job of making them feel comfortable.

Ranch was awesome very dedicated Indeed detailed 👌 the j is for my grandsons 🙍‍♂️🙍‍♂️

Loved the experience. Nice clean friendly place. Great work.

I chose this parlor because of all the high reviews and amazing artwork on their site- and I am SO glad I came here! Booked an appt with Andy, gave him all my ideas and he transformed everything I liked into one work!! I will definitely come back here for my next tattoo. This lavender only took one hour, charged $70. Amazing and definitely worth it. Gave a decent tip to Andy- thank you!

Love love love!! Have had a ton of work done by Woody. Hes awesome, a great artist, and makes you feel comfortable. Everyone else is super awesome and friendly too!! Especially the pup!! Extremely talented artists across the board. Im thrilled with all my tattoos and will definitely have more work done here. One of my favorite tattoo shops in the ROC hands down!!

Absolutely an amazing place, the vibe was just right. It was my first time getting a tattoo and I was pretty nervous, but they made the process easy. Plus, they allowed my friend to hangout by my side to keep me company. I worked with Darbi who was very attentive and made such a beautiful tattoo for me. Thank you Mellow Madness for helping me with my tattoo. 10 out of 10 would recommend

Accommodated me on relatively short notice. Were super awesome and good. I got the paw print of my passed pet done so I will always have something to remember her by. I am eternally grateful for Andy from mellow madness for making such a difficult time as painless as possible when needles are involved.

I have been going to Mellow Madness for my tattoos for over a year now, I always work with Andy, who actually did one of my very first tattoos many years ago. Not only is the shop very clean, artists talented and creative, but the entire experience is very relaxed and professional. For me it is very important to be able to communicate with the artist and throw ideas out to them that I cannot put on paper myself, Andy certainly exceeds my expectations with every piece he has done for me. I highly recommend Mellow Madness for anyone looking for an excellent tattoo experience. 5 stars

I have ~10 tattoos, the latter half are all from Mellow Madness. The artists are professional, skilled and laid back. Cant go wrong with any of these guys.Its not just the excellent work that makes this shop stand out, its the whole atmosphere.My personal recommendation is to Woody who has done my last 3- top notch ink.Whether youre looking for a large, multi-session piece or a subtle 1 sitting tattoo, do yourself a favor and go to Mellow Madness!

Great environment, great experience. You can really tell the artists get along, have a good time and truly enjoy what they do. Ive had work done at a few shops around Rochester and I have to say this was probably the best. Dave did an amazing job working with my design and working around my existing artwork. We had great conversation during the session, which adds to the experience. My new tattoo looks great and I will for sure be back. I absolutely recommend this shop to anyone, whether its your first or fiftieth tattoo. Thanks again guys!!

Was awesome

Absolutely loved this place.This was my first time getting a tattoo and it took me sometime to get an appointment.. but it was worth the wait.Woody was my artist and he did an excellent job. He took his time to properly design and draw out my tattoo and I loved it.I would definitely recommend this place and would love to go back for another one someday!

I went in to have a tattoo made, yes my very first tattoo at that, I had a design in mind and a basic design at that. Dave took and dressed it up and a week later I have a great looking tattoo. The people that work there are super great and I am very happy with the design and how much time and effort was put into taking a very basic design and making it into a work of art

Classy, careful and very safe.

Great experience at mellow madness! Great environment and awesome work! Came in with an idea of a tattoo and worked with woody- he took my idea and made it even better. Spent a lot of time on sketch and the actual work- really took his time and I really appreciate that. Will definitely be going back, and would recommend this place to my friends!

The piercing specialist was so nice and easy to talk to. I would definitely go back because I had a great experience.

I went here for my first tattoo. The shop was clean, the employees were professional. Andy was great with helping me design my tattoo. It came out awesome & healed well. I love it!!! Will be coming back when Im ready for my second tattoo!

Oh my good-ness! I LOVE my new tattoo!! Its just perfect! Really great work David!! You are super talented! Thank you so much and thank you for making me feel so at ease 😁I would highly recommend this shop. Small but cozy, clean, friendly staff, and very reasonable prices!! 👍👍

Andy did an amazing job on my tattoo and my touch up. He was super professional and friendly. Great atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back for another one.

Went in today on the drop of a dime and Range took really good care of me. His line work was PERFECT, his shading was flawless! In the future I will be making more appointments with Range

I stopped in on a Saturday to see if anyone had time to do a small memorial tattoo for my pug. Andy listened to what I wanted and was so nice about everything. He did a great job on my pug angel! Highly recommend the shop and Andy!

Came in and asked for a tattoo. was told to wait so the guy could go smoke a cigarette. Waited for about 20 minutes, nothing. It sounds unbelievable but they had a dog walking around the studio. That is completely unsanitary. If I have a fresh wound (tattoo) I don’t need a dog trying to come slobber on it or have it’s dirty fur on me. This place is a disaster. No privacy in there as well.

Took me with short notice Range did an amazing job would for sure go back

Exactly what I was looking for! High quality artwork, with outstanding commitment! Thanks Chuck Delux!

Good place for piercing

Helpful, professional staff. Fastidious about cleanliness. And sometimes theres a puppy!

Just took my 8 year old to get her ears pierced and had a great experience. Totally chill atmosphere. Andy was very kind; took his time explaining exactly what he was going to do, and how things should feel; totally put my daughter at ease.

The owner and my tattoo artist Chuck was amazing! Personable and very talented! Beautiful interior!

My friend got her first tattoo here, and Andy did such a great job! We had a great experience there and we recommend it to everyone without any hesitation. The ambience of the parlor is very friendly and chill..The artists are experienced and very good at what they do, their sense of humor and comforting nature makes the process of getting a tattoo less painful :) Overall, good experience!

Andy is great and highly recommended. Went in for my first tattoo and already cant wait for him to do more of my work. Super friendly staff, clean, and quick.Great work!!!

Got ears pierced for gauges. Vert friendly and great customer service! Thank you

Great experience!

They did my daughter and her boyfriends sleeves. They are absolutely gorgeous! Great line work and shading! The color is packed in good and vibrant!!

Honestly very, very happy! I got my appointment immediately same day for my awsome tattoo. And Woody kicked ass! Thanks dude best tattoo ever.

Awesome experience! 1st tat in ten years, got my sons name on my forearm. WOODY was amazing at doing font and very creative. Ive gotten so many compliments! They got skill

Got work added to an existing tattoo by Darbi. She did a great job and definitely coming back for more. All staff is professional and friendly. Highly recommended.

Great service. Wouldnt do the tattoo without making sure the design was how I wanted it and that the placement was right where it would need to be to line up with my other tattoo. Clean shop and skilled artists

Great first tattoo experience, great shop and even better artists! They make things as comfortable as possible, it was a pleasure!

Range is a very good artist hes not hard handed whats so ever... Think i found a new tat artist

After waiting a year, I decided today was the day to get my tattoo. Andy did an amazing job! He was very professional and clearly cares about pleasing the customer. I might not get another tattoo but am so glad I went with Mello Madness and was able to get Andy. I highly recommend the place and more importantly recommend Andy!

Great experience, came in with a rough idea and from there we were able to work out something incredible. Ask for Dave, he is extremely hard working, creative, and he knows his stuff. Could not have been better.

Great

Went in to the shop with a rough idea. A half an hour later they had drawn up exactly what I wanted. A day later I had the tattoo and is better than I thought. Great place and environment.

Got my tragus pierced its been 2 weeks and I am happy!!!!

We chose this shop from their great reviews online. My artist took a few minutes to become personable but my tattoo turned out great and I’m very pleased with it!
