Crown & Anchor Tattoo Parlor

I absolutely love my tattoo from Shannon. Beautiful artwork, strong clean lines, and awesome bright colors. Very professional, makes you feel comfortable, and patient when working with you to make sure your design is exactly how you want it.

Kirk is an amazing artist! He takes a simple image and makes it extraordinary!!! There is no other shop like it in NJ.

The place is lovely! Special thanks to Ivan, who definitely made my day. Left the parlor with an amazing b/w Keith Flint portrait on my right arm. Felt pretty nervous at first, but Ivan proved to be a very skilled professional. I am happy I chose exactly this place and exactly this master. Good luck guys!

Ivan Androsov is amazing!!!! he knew exactly what i wanted even when i couldnt express it. i had been waiting for this tattoo for 6 years and it was worth the wait to find the right person to do it. he is not always in the US so please make sure to talk to the parlor ahead of time. The tattoo also did not hurt too bad and his use of color is creative. This piece of art is so special to me. i highly recommend the place and the artist.

Recieved my first tattoo here from Dylan. He managed to draw up exactly what I had envisioned off of a one paragraph synopsis and 2 images for reference. Not only was he professional throughout the whole process he made me feel right at home during this endeavor. The space is calm, quiet and clean and the work done there is top tier. Quoted time was almost exact. Looking forward to returning in the future to expand upon my forearm.

Ivan is so incredibly talented, humble, dedicated, and passionate. All the things you hope for in someone who is going to do your tattoo. It amazes me how he can do any style and it’s all so unique and beautiful. I get compliments all the time on my leg, I love it so much. I hope to continue to see Ivan again and again to finish our masterpiece together - even though he does all the real work :) Be back soon Ivan!!

Kirk is extremely professional and runs a very clean and creative shop. If you’re looking to get artwork done that is a cut above the rest I highly suggest going here.

Stefany was amazing! She did incredibly fine and delicate needle work, made adjustments and recommendations to the design i brought to make it more feminine, and made my tattoo better than I even hoped. I highly recommend.

I am always immensely grateful to Shanan for her masterful ability to make incredibly bright tattoos! This is my 3rd tattoo from her. Very light hand, super fast work! Heals very quickly! Shenan is a master of her craft, I will recommend her as your next tattoo artist if you want a bright traditional magic🔥

I wish I could give this place 10 stars. Clean shop, professional and friendly employees.
Shannon is so talented and efficient at tattooing. She made the whole experience comfortable and fast.
Highly recommend Shannon, the level of professionalism and quality of art makes it one of the best, if not the best, shop in the state.
Price is extremely fair as well.

Did a lot of research before picking a place, and decided on Shannon for my traditional piece. This is what she specializes in, which is really cool. Found an expert, not a jack of all trades like most people seem to strive for today. Excellent decision, totally worth the price. Her attention to detail is outstanding and she really cares that she turns out quality work, she's not just slapping a tattoo on ya. Super happy with the work she did for me. 10/10 I will be back.

Shannon is such an amazing artist. She’s done six tattoos on me so far and continues to provide the best service! Always helps pick out great spots and draws incredible designs. She’s definitely gonna be doing my entire leg sleeve. Thank you Shannon!!!

I was very impressed with how quickly Kirk was able to do such a large piece with so much detail. I am very satisfied with my piece and look forward to working with Kirk again in the future for other additions. Even though it was my first tattoo, sitting for the entire installation of my 1/4 was no problem. He was very helpful in explaining aftercare to prevent fading. I look forward to work with Kirk again.

Absolutely incredible experience! Kirk's talent is absolutely remarkable. My tattoo turned out exactly how we talked and better than I imagined. Not only was his skill unreal, he makes the environment incredibly comfortable and the conversation throughout the session was entertaining and got my mind off of a 6 hour tattoo session. All perfect so get a tattoo from Kirk immediately!

Expensive but worth it.
Got my first tattoo the other day from Ivan and I’m so excited about it!
The shop was open and bright and CLEAN!
Ivan was a pleasure to work with. He’s super friendly and walked me through everything he was doing. He didn’t BS me about time or anything and spent plenty of time after going through all of the aftercare steps.
Can’t wait to book the next one 😂

The short version: Ivan is an immensely gifted artist and an extremely affable person, while still remaining professional. You definitely will be in good hands with him. Crown & Anchor itself is also a great place.

The long version: My wife and I wanted to get tattoos together. It was going to be her first (And only my second) so I wanted it to be a really great experience. Ivan completely blew us away with how he handled everything. We sent him a design that we were looking at and he completely redrew it in his own style (which was even better than the original imho) and made very intelligent changes based on where we wanted them relative to where the original design was. He also gave us multiple stylistic options to choose from regarding certain elements, which I really appreciated. I really could not imagine it going any better than it did and couldn't be more thankful to him.

A note on the facility itself: it was very clean, inviting and was decorated (imho) very well. Overall just a lovely place.

I just got a tattoo with Ivan, super nice guy. I explained what I wanted and made it even better than what I imagined. I will definitely recommend this place. Thank you!!!

Blown away by Shannon! I love my cat-too! Amazing attention to detail and I couldn’t be happier! I now have a beautiful traditional kitty where I once had a 20yr old flower and name that I was less than thrilled with. She’s an amazing artist and super nice too!

The shop was clean and very professional. My artist Shannon was amazing. She drew up an amazing tattoo and her skill is perfect. I’m in love with my tattoo and the price was fair. I can’t wait to go back and get another.

Kirk is incredibly talented. Worth the wait. He is a very chill guy to work with, and the 8 hours spent went by quickly as he keeps you talking in great conversation! Love the piece he gave me.
