I've had countless piercings done over time by a few piercers and after checking out Ruths work I decided to give her a try and now she is the only one I will allow to pierce me. She is a gem.

Carmelos is the best place to go. They all are very friendly and do amazing work! I wouldn't go anywhere else or trust any other place. Tony has done amazing tattoos and Ruth has done all of my piercings and I've NEVER had any problems. I have seen all of the others artists work and they are all amazing! The place is very clean and you can tell that they take pride in what they do. Carmelos definitely gets my vote
J. De'Roberts - 8 years ago
Most of you that are making these comments about Carmelo's place of business need to know that what you are doing is libel / slander and defamation of character. If they wanted too they can sue you guys. Everyone's IP Address is being recorded. My vote goes to Carmelo I've been there numerous times and never had an issue.

Ya'll just a bunch of ungrateful niggas. Each n every1 of ya preferred artist started somewhere n built they way up just like Carmello's. Ya clowns wanna talk about they doing this or they doing that oh they must b making this shit up but don't wanna admit when they weren't takin d lead no1 had shit to say until they moved up n become a threat. Be real ya artist is puttin ya up 2 it if not they own self. Fake niggas just don't wanna recognize real niggas.
Stephanie - 8 years ago
I get all my piercings by Ruth and she's beyond amazing. It's not just the quality work that she puts out but the overall experience and customer service. Anyone that is claiming otherwise obviously hasn't been to her shop. They are clean, sterile and professional. She keeps her piercing room On point with everything a professional piercer should have and then some. Not to mention her shop has a welcoming feel to it. So much for the other places I've been too. Ruth gets my vote.
Geoffrey - 8 years ago
Lol I voted for carmelo, I've never had any issues with the shop..
Joe - 8 years ago
Carmelo's is disgusting, clearly the owners have voted a bunch of times, can't even tell how many disgusting infected piercings and tatttoos I've seen from there. Carmelo is rude, and steals other artists work and claims it as his own. Carmelo's is a joke and a huge stain on Syracuse. A shop for dirtbags, ran by dirtbags.
Charlie - 8 years ago
all these people getting salty over Carmelo being number one like, they're number one because they've worked for it, they build good relationships with their clients and that's why they're getting so many votes, any haters out there most likely aren't telling their side of the story, they aren't saying what they did in order for the shop to get mad at them, but as somebody who spends time there a lot, I've witnessed the respect they give to everyone that walks into that shop, I hope they win, they deserve it!!
George - 8 years ago
carmelo's Inkcity on facebook has NO ONE liking this post they've posted at least a dozen times.. Obviously this voting system is rigged! Resurrected Tattoo, classic trilogy tattoo not on here!!! Tymeless tattoo, the artisan and Black Sea, clearly better choices!!

Stephen - 8 years ago
It's funny how many people suddenly pop up for Carmellos when there lot is always empty. I have one tattoo from them and it took the kid 2hrs to do a small Chiefs logo and it's now just a big blotched circle.
The whole crew must be frantically voting from numerous e-mails and devices.
Gary Gierera - 8 years ago
As a father of three girls, all under the age of 18, I made the decision to go to Carmello's and I was very pleased with the ear piercings they received by Ruth. She is a polite/sweet girl and my girls will definitely be back soon.
Stacy W. - 8 years ago
My vote goes to Carmelo and his team. The shop always looks great. I'm always greeted the minute I walk through the doors. I've never been dismissed or faced with grotesque attitudes like I've had from other shops in Syracuse. They are all genuinely good people. As for the comments from hateful individuals this is a positive thing for central New York and the artists that well deserve their art to be noticed not a forum for hate mail or ignorance.

They let a dog run around their shop, ALSO THEY RUTH AND CARMELLO SUED ME FOR 365 DOLLARS AFTER I WAS TATTOOED BY AN APRENTICE THERE AND HAD FILLED OUT THE PAPERWORK STATING APPRENTICE WORK FOR $0.00 THESE PEOPLE ARE A FUCKING JOKE. 24 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE AND A 365 FINE AND MULTIPLE THREATS AGAINST ME. THIS IS THEE MOST GHETTO AND UNPROFFESIONAL SHOP THERE IS. ???????? you CARMELLO

Not surprised Carmelo is on here... But as far as a shop, Tymeless has the most diverse and talented artist as a shop as a whole, not just one guy but all 8 artist are phenomenal!!
Tiffany Marie - 8 years ago
Carmelo's Ink City all the way! There is always three sides to every story. I am a first time client to Carmelo referred by my many friends that get amazing pieces by him. I too had to cancel my initial appointment in less then six hours prior due to circumstances I couldn't control which landed my father in the hospital. I called and they were more than accommodating. They moved my deposit to the new appointment I scheduled for without a hassle. - As for stealing work that's ludicrous. We're all grown here ppl give credit where it is well deserved. Carmelo is an outstanding artist that knows how to build client / artist rapport very well. Something some of your artist should take notes on. There's a reason why so many ppl are praising this shop. They make you feel right at home! Stop knocking someone down for their success and focus on your own shit. Smh #CarmeloAllTheWay

So my cousin got really sick and was hospitalized the day before her tattoo appointment and she had a deposit down for it, and my aunt called them less the 24 hours ahead to let them know she can't get it bc she's in the hospital and they wouldn't give her, her deposit money back. Like I would understand it if it was like bc they had other plans but she was in the icu. I'm never getting another tattoo from there. Fuck Carmelo's how can do that when she was FUCKING SICK IN THE ICU
Delilah Melendez - 8 years ago
Carmelo's Ink City is the only place I would go too. I've gotten both my sleeves done by Carmelo and all my piercings by Ty (Ruth). They are phenomenal, clean, professional and very creative with their work. Let's not forget EVERYTHING they use is prepackaged and opened right in front of you then thrown away right after. Just the way it should be! #TeamCarmelo #TeamRuthlesSsTy I love you guys. ;)

Carmelo's without a doubt. Great work, amazing service, clean shop and the best ink by far. I will never go anywhere else, Carmelo is a true artist, not only his tattoos but his paintings as well. He truly cares about his clients, he builds a relationship with everyone and he NEVER turns down an idea, he only tried to perfect it and make it better. There's nothing he can't do as far as ideas and even cover ups.

Carmelo's Ink City is the cleanest shop I've been too. Very professional, excellent service and phenomenal work by Carmelo and Ruth themselves. Thank you guys.
Tom is an amazing artist! He's done all of my tattoos! Wouldn't even think about going to anyone else! His shop is beautiful & very welcoming! Amazing shop & amazing artist!!! Go stop in!!
Tom Doyle of serenity tattoo is the best tattoo artist I've ever seen. His work is phenomenal and I'll never let anyone put needle to skin on me other than tom. I think everyone should vote for serenity tattoo!
Thanks for the love Jamie! Couldn't agree more that Resurrected and Working Class should be listed too.
