Tattoo artists alter bodies permanently the way surgeons do, except with colors and aesthetic flair. An ink-artist/customer relationship requires just as much trust as that of the doctor/patient, and the Best Tattoo Parlor on Long Island will have built up tons of it. This is not a service to skimp on. We bring you this year’s winners for Best Tattoo Parlor on Long Island.

Very dissapointed in the way this contest is run. The fact that Tattoo Lou’s has won 5 years in a row is absurd. Very few like him and his business. The fact that someone can vote everyday is dumb; it does not give a good reflection about what is out there. Or is this just a fixed contest to support your advitisers. I am glad that my company is not involved in this garbage. It should be one vote per IP address and only one.
This isn’t right…Tattoo Lous is like a chain. Not one shop. You should have to vote which store is good because believe me, MOST Tattoo Lous shops suck! I’ve visited a couple now and never really enjoyed my experiences.
