What People Are Saying About Cutting Edge Body Arts

Featured Review

Brian Merchant

Contributor

In Short – Part art gallery, part tattoo parlor, Cutting Edge Body Art is an enormous loft-sized hub for the macabre in the West Village. A floor up from the street, and thus removed from the cacophony of traffic, CEBA is weirdly relaxing. You can kick back on the couch and flip through artists' portfolios or wander the room and check out whatever slightly unsettling art they have hung about. Artists like Jon Jon and Jayson are well-regarded in the ink world, and will openly discuss ideas for personalized pieces.

Editor's Tips

Cutting Edge is AMAZING

by MexiMama

I had my whole right arm and lower half of my left arm done on multiple visits, each time i was very pleased with the staff and the artists as well. The shop itself was spotless and I did get and ear peircing there aswell, the peircing area was equilly as well kept, it has since healed very nicely adn the jewlery i got there did NOT cause an infection for me. My tattoo's were done by Jayson who did and AMAZING job on everything! The price was very reasonable and totaly worth every penny! I will DEFF get more work done there. I always recomend this shop and artist to anyone who asks me.

BEST Place in NYC for Tats

by jeisenberg12

I've got a few other tats at other shops thoughout the country and came here looking for some wording done on my back. These guys were very professional and the place is SPOTLESS clean. They helped me pick out the font, and the artists are incredible. If this would be your first tattoo, I would definitely recommend this place. I was told at other shops around the city that it would cost me over double what I got charged there. They don't try to rip you off and make a buck and are true to the art. I will DEFINITELY be back soon.

Thanks Guys...

  • Pros: Clean, Friendly, Reasonably priced.
  • Cons: none

Great ear pirecing!

by secretlyytimid

I got my earlobes pierced a week ago today and I have not experienced a problem thus far. When I went into the shop, I thought that it would be more expensive than in my town, but it actually turned out to be $15 cheaper! Tony, the piercer, was very precise and made sure to get the piercings even. They gave great tips and thorough cleaning instructions. I have scar tissue in my left ear from previous botched piercings that ended up closing up and Tony somehow pierced around it! All around, they were very informative, clean (and I'm a neat freak), and precise. I enjoyed my experience, and I would refer them to anyone who asked!

  • Pros: clean, precise

Beautiful Tat, Terrific Guys

by tbclaws

I got a tattoo by Jayson today - an ambigram of my niece and nephew's names on my leg. Jayson did an impeccable job - solid, clean lines with just the right amount of shading and perfect placement. His advice to go with shading instead of all black was spot on. The tattoo was virtually painless (yes, for real) and bloodless. I had a great time talking to Jayson and his coworkers as the tat was being done. I will definitely be back!!

PS - the shop is very clean and welcoming, and of course in an awesome neighborhood. Thanks for a great experience!

Great Studio, Amazing Service and Friendly Staff

by losh

I am a regular customer. I had 2 of my tattoos (my most recent ones) and 4 piercings done at Cutting Edge.

When my first piercing didn't seem to heal properly the owner Adam and the piercer Chris helped me find the cause and the right jewelery. It turns out I am allergic to Nickel and can only use industrial strength surgical steel jewelery.

Just as a note gold has nickel in it too and might cause infection like reactions.

Cutting Edge and all the staff working there are amazing ! I recommend them to all my friends on a regular basis !

  • Pros: talented artists, quality work, and very clean !!!
