Our Story

The Establishment

Nothing Hurts Tattoos is an artist-owned tattoo studio rooted in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, built on respect for the craft, the client, and the space we work in. We believe great tattoos come from a balance of creativity, professionalism, and a clean, well-run environment—and we hold ourselves to that standard every day.

The Art & the Artists

Nothing Hurts is home to artists at different stages of their careers, from established tattooers to newer artists who are still exploring and refining their style. The shop encourages growth, experimentation, and bigger projects over time, without rushing anyone into a lane they’re not ready for.

Black and grey work, illustrative realism, and bold clean tattoos are a strong presence—but the shop isn’t boxed into one look. Artists are encouraged to evolve and find what they truly love doing.

Cleanliness, organization, and clear communication are non-negotiable at Nothing Hurts. We operate with structured shop policies, strict hygiene standards, and respect for everyone’s time—artists and clients alike. From consultation to aftercare, our goal is to create an experience that feels straightforward, professional, and comfortable.

The atmosphere at Nothing Hurts reflects Brooklyn itself: direct, welcoming, and honest, with just the right edge. We take our work seriously, but we never forget that trust is at the center of every tattoo. Whether it’s your first piece or your tenth, we’re here to make sure you leave with something you’re proud to wear for life.
