Another fine work done by Jonas. Finishing off my forearm bear tattoo with trees and mountains was perfect. Thank you so much I can’t say enough nice things about Jonas and Grace. Always a joy and certainly recommend them to anyone wanting to get a tattoo. Will see you again once I get another idea.:)

I recently had the pleasure of getting a tattoo at East Manila Ink, and the experience surpassed all expectations. Jonas, the talented artist, exhibited a remarkable level of skill and professionalism from the moment I walked in.

The stencil design was meticulously crafted, capturing every detail of my vision. Throughout the process, Jonas's expertise shone through, and his precision in executing the tattoo was truly impressive. He took the time to ensure I was comfortable and involved in the decision-making, making the experience both enjoyable and personalized.

The final outcome was nothing short of stunning – a true masterpiece that exceeded my expectations. The cleanliness of the studio and the friendly atmosphere added to the overall positive experience. I highly recommend East Manila Ink Tattoo, especially Jonas, for anyone seeking not just a tattoo but an exceptional and memorable artistic journey.

Went to the place for the first time with great enthusiasm and after doing my research obviously, but was let down. The receptionist Grace was rude, and after only a 3-4 minutes of chat where I was enquiring about the artists and their working hours, she looked frustrated and said "You are welcome to try other places. " So unprofessional, like you think I don't know that already? And she seemed to not care about customer service at all. The place could use a course in marketing and etiquettes. Looking forward to hear from the owner if he sees this message but its probably the uptight front desk lady who sees it.

So so so expensive and took so long for small minimal designs charged over $300 for 4 small tattoos that were only meant to take an hour at most, took them almost 2.5 hours and charged $200 over $100 deposit.one of my tattoos is also cracking.shade work terrible.

Don't listen to negative reviews!
these type of people thinks they know better than the artist. **sighh.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting a tattoo here.
I appreciate they're taking time on each piece they do.
Thank you for your time!

Initially went here for 2 memorial tattoos. I brought in a couple of ideas that I had in mind and Chris combined them to design the tattoos that I wanted. I am very happy with the work that I received and would definitely recommend East Manila to anyone.
I also wanted another tattoo after I got the first 2. I again brought in a couple of ideas to combine into what I wanted. Chris again drew up what I had in mind, we did decide to change the size a bit which was done quickly and to what I liked.
Before any work was done on all three of my tattoos I was given the chance to make any changes on design or position of them. Chris made sure I was happy with that before any work was started.
Definitely happy with the work, although I do need to setup an appointment for some touch up on one of them. I don't believe that is going to be an issue because of how much they paid attention to my requests.
I'm also needing a cover up which I am going to get done through them as well.

*EDIT*
I dropped into the shop, without a call or an appointment, to talk about the touch up work I needed. I had the touch up work done within half an hour. Now, to me, that is Awesome Customer Service.
Thanks again to everyone involved in making my experience a good one. I'll see you soon for some more work I want done.

First tattoo at East Manila Ink. Rye was my artist and he is a very kind and genuine individual. I got my second neck tattoo piece. He was very patient and understanding. I was very fidgety and uncomfortable, but he still manage to execute such a sick neck piece. I left the studio very happy

I called one morning to see if the shop had any availability, luckily they had a slot open and I got booked in for a session that day. When I walked in the shop was nice and bright clean covid friendly. I felt safe being in there. I walked in with a vision I had in my head and also a picture of what I exactly wanted. My tattoo artist was Rye. He was amazing. He told me his ideas I told him mine. We sat down for a solid 2 hours. The art he drew on me are very meaningful and hold a special place in my heart. I would give east Manila 5 stars, I would totally recommend this shop to anyone.

First time getting my piece done at this place. Jonas killed it! Very easy to talk to and very professional! I got a Polynesian Filipino tribal tattoo on my chest and can’t wait to add more! The rest of the staff were also great! Definitely recommend them to anyone getting their first tattoo or want to add more!

Got my tattoo by jonas did 3,3 hour sessions for my tattoo and was charged per hour (180) plus tax and then they also charged me 180 for booking the sessions, then later look it off on my final session. This was also my first time ever getting a tattoo and I have nothing bad to say about these guys highly recommend to anyone just as a heads up if you are going there the is only realistically 2 spots and they are usually taken and you will have to park in the back or something I got really lucky and got some spots at the front all 3 times I went

I did my first session for my arm sleeve the other day and the environment in this place is very welcoming and friendly! The tattoo artists here are so talented and charismatic about what they do. I definitely recommend East Manila Ink for those looking to get tatted!

I am very satisfied with my 1st and 2nd tattoos from this shop and artist Jonas. Thank you for the experience with such comfort! End result is always amazing! You're in good hands with these guys!

Jonas has been my artist for 5 years now. Started with a big piece and planning my full back. He pays attention to details.
This time of pandemic I feel safe entering their studio. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Kudos the team.
