ASA is a Buffalo-born, Buffalo-proud studio.
We're rooted in Western New York's culture, from the local art and music scene to the heartbeat of the Bills and Sabres. Supporting Buffalo local isn't a slogan for us; it's who we are. Our artists live here, raise families here, and put everything we have back into our community.
Inside the shop, you won't find an assembly-line tattoo experience.
You'll find artists who take their time, treat clients with respect, and make sure you walk out feeling confident and cared for. Our space is private, clean, welcoming, and designed for people who want a comfortable environment to get high-quality work.
American Skin Art is more than a tattoo studio, it's a cornerstone of NT's creative history.
Since 1990, American Skin Art has grown from a small NT studio into a trusted name in Western New York tattooing, and we’re just getting started.
We're proud of where we've been, excited for where we're going,
and honored to create art that stays with you forever.
We're honored to be part of your story, one tattoo at a time.
