IMPRESSIVE. This shop from the time you enter until the time you leave has everything you could ask for. The talent of the owner and full time tattooer, Amber is unmatched. Her eye for color and detail is incredible.everything I have had tattooed or seen tattooed by her looks like a painting. She is gentle, easy to talk to and really gets what you envision for a permanent awesome tattoo.The other artist Annie is up and coming- her art is unmatched. Her tattooing is fast and line work is way beyond most tattooers. The cleanliness and presentation of the the shop is very professionally. Prices are legit and the quality of the work you will get is unmatched by any other tattoo shop in the jersey shore area.

I just got my first tattoo from Amber Opal at Looking Glass Tattoo and I couldn't be happier. Amber is an amazing and incredibly talented artist.



My experience:

I gave Amber a few pictures and a basic idea of what I wanted and she nailed the drawing perfectly on the first shot.



I sat for about 7 hours and we got through it in one shot. Amber was very friendly, focused and always made sure I was as comfortable as I could be. The shop itself is very clean and everyone there was welcoming. I felt comfortable the second I walked in to Looking Glass.



The tattoo itself is incredible. The detail and shading are outstanding and Amber's little touches make it stand out.



I cant see myself going anywhere else.

I searched long and hard for an artist I could trust with the design of my fourth tattoo. And after a couple failed attempts at translating my vision onto paper, the Internet gods eventually led me to Amber Opal. Without even meeting me, she nailed it. Not only did she draw up exactly what I had in mind (with just a couple vague photos for reference, as the tattoo is one-of-a-kind), but she also got my style down. It was almost as if she could read my mind. She was so down to earth, friendly and accommodating, and made me feel right at home -- a feeling the shop exudes naturally. Amber is -- hands down -- the best artist I know. Natural-born talent. I want to get more tattoos just so I can go back to see her! I already have recommended her to all my family and friends, so now, all you review readers can take my advice, too. :)

Place was great. Cleanest tattoo shop I ever seen with the most professional tattoo artists. Artists are original and very creative. I personally worked with CJ but everyone else seemed to be just as good.

Great job guys!!!

Thank you

On my first visit to Looking Glass I realized why i was there...for a true work of art. As I walked in the doors i was surrounded by the art and love that fills the space. The details of artistry and vision surround you from the paint on the walls to the works of art that adorn them. There is no detail that has been overlooked. The open, fresh, airy space is only complimented by the atrium that allows you to be surrounded by nature and all its beauty. The artists all share a common goal to create lasting conversation pieces. Whether you hang their art on your walls or wear it on your skin each design is as individual and unique as the shop itself. I look forward to repeat visits to this new favorite ink spot of mine. If you are as passionate about emotion invoking beauty as the friendly welcoming staff, you have found it at... Looking Glass.

I dont usually leave reviews, but this is the nicest tattoo studio I've ever seen. I felt comfortable the second I walked in. It is bright, clean, and the artists are so nice, and talented! Amber did my tattoo and it's amazing. The glass room that I got my tattoo in was so relaxing, looking up at the clouds. Im so happy with tattoo and my experience at Looking Glass, I would def recommend checking this place out! They also do permanent makeup- I'm having my eyeliner done there too. :)

This is a great place. The artists are professional, friendly and amazingly talented.

I have been a fan of Amber's paintings and have purchased them over the years. The depth of her strokes and her use of color is similar to Vincent Van Gogh. When she uses the body as a canvas, it brings the 3D art to legendary levels. I want to hang people with her work on them on my walls honestly. She is one of the greatest artists of our generation.

By far the nicest atmosphere and the friendliest people i've ever encountered in a tattoo parlor. Not to mention easily the most talented artist who has ever injected ink into my skin. Amber patiently helped me design my tats (i can be a bit indecisive), she simply did an outstanding job. Thanks so much guys!

This place is great...ultra clean and comfortable. Amber is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet and super talented. She did a portrait of my dog and it is absolutely beautiful. Highly recommended.

I am telling everyone about this beautiful tattoo shop ! It's extremely clean and the owners are very nice, talented and experienced ! Also, the permanent make up artist - she is wonderful :)

Sometimes, going in to a tattoo shop can be a little scary and overwhelming...but not at Looking Glass! Never in my life have I seen a tattoo shop like this. It looks more like a salon than the gritty grimy tattoo shops I'm used to. The shop is very welcoming: open and airy with tons of natural light. In fact, if you get work done with Amber (the cute blond smiling behind the counter), you will find yourself relaxing in a beautiful atrium. What shop has that?! Going to Looking Glass was the best tattoo experience I've had. Amber is exceptionally talented and works with you to make sure your tattoo is a work of art. I have recommended this place to my friends and they've all had great work done. In fact I'm taking my mom for her 65th birthday this weekend!
