very pleasant experience today with Julian. glad we were able get our Christmas tattoos done. will go back for my next one.
my partner booked a tattoo and put a sizable down payment … unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances she had to rebook the appointment because she had to change jobs and the tattoo was on her first day of work.

Great experience and amazing artistry! Steve and team are a class act. I highly recommend.
Steve did a great job on our tattoos. Even was patient while I was looking for a certain color. Definitely reccomend and I'll be back for another.
Steve is a true artist, he always listens and captures what you are looking for. I will be back for more and I reccomend you try them out yourself!
I loved my first experience at Nut and Bolt so much i booked another appointment a week later! Julian has one of the most steady hands I've been inked by. Great atmosphere, cool place to hang out and some of the best artistry. Thanks guys 🖤... More

I made an appointment to finish out my sleeve with an artist who no longer works at the shop. We agreed on 2 sessions spaced a month apart first one was 11/1 and the second was 12/1. I finished the first session and was satisfied with the tattoo. A few weeks before I was due to come in and complete the second session, I emailed the artist and asked for a minor change to the tattoo that didn’t change the theme of the tattoo and wasn’t a big ask. She said no problem and asked if I could come in for an appointment in 3 days. Assuming she maybe had a cancellation I didn’t ask why and said yes I can make it. The night before the appointment I messaged the artist that I was sick and asked if we could reschedule to the original appointment of 12/1. She told me that she was moving back home for good and didn’t have time to finish my tattoo before then. I asked for my $200 deposit back since she was the one not following through with our session and she refused and told me to talk to the shop manager (Steve) I asked for the design which she had already completed so I can hand it off to another artist and never got a response. I messaged Steve and attempted to resolve the issue and after a week he finally responded saying that he can’t refund me but he’d make up for the terrible service by doing a tattoo for me. I was somewhat satisfied with the outcome and after a few weeks of looking into what I wanted I messaged Steve back about it explaining what I wanted and he left me on read. Moral of the story is they don’t do good business at Nut and Bolt. Take your business elsewhere. Less

My wife and I got matching tattoos from Kay. She was unbelievably professional and supportive through our 4 hours with her. Her artistry is unreal.

I have seen Steve for all my tattoos back from when I was 18 (I’m 26 now) I’ve gotten about 5 tattoos between those times and I cannot be happier. Willing to work within your comfort zone. Always making sure he checks how you’re doing or if you need breaks. VERY clean environment. He doesn’t pressure you into changing your ideas which is huge.

Kay Krusade is hands down the best artist not only in Rochester NY , but possibly in all of upstate NY. She specializes in fine lines, abstract/realistic imagery, and shading, which was exactly what I was looking for. She greatly exceeded my expectations by creating something that is original and unique; even though my idea was kind of a recycled theme in the ink world. She can accommodate any style, body type, and age. She takes her time not only with the tattoo itself but she also uses top of the line products such as MadRabbit and aftercare to ensure that your ink will last your lifetime. She is friendly, clean, careful, understanding, communicative, AND did my entire tattoo in 1 session. She has a delicate hand and light touch that makes getting a tattoo tolerable. She thinks of her art as her own signature and does everything she can to make sure you are completely satisfied with your experience here at Nut and Bolt Tattoo. Less
I enjoy going to nut and bolt known Steve a few years now he's great tattoo artist and all around great guy.
Class act shop with solid artist. Clean and comfortable
Love it here! Steve is incredibly talented and the general environment is friendly. It’s always a great experience!
Everyone is so friendly and fun! Been following Steve for years and he’s the absolute best!
Steve is an amazing artist. Best experience, very talented and professional. Highly recommended!!

Great work, excellent shading and perfect lines.
My best experience with a tattoo shop in the Rochester area. Steve was patient and more than willing to adjust size and placement multiple times.

First and foremost, Steve is one of a kind. My father and I only trust Steve with our tattoos. Nut & Bolt Tattoo is the antithesis of what a studio should be. Extremely clean and comfortable. It is SPOTLESS and has beautifully maintained fishtanks, which are really relaxing to look at. I recently saw Steve to begin the process of my sleeve tattoo. Being someone who only has smaller tattoos, it was really important that I trusted the artist to do something of this magnitude. Steve’s honesty, creativity and patience are what provided me peace-of-mind starting a tattoo so much larger than I had ever done before. He’s totally up front about what will work and what won’t because he truly cares about the tattoo he is doing and not just how it looks day 1 but 10, 20 years from now. He not only possess an unbelievable amount of patience and passion for the artwork he creates, he also remained flexible to accommodate concepts that were intrinsically important to me. He has the ability to improvise and riff on ideas to make something truly unique and special. Everyone who’s seen it has commented and noticed the beautiful shading, detail and line work. I wanted my tattoo to tell a story, as well as, be historically accurate with ancient Egyptian history and Steve went above and beyond to patiently listen to all my requests and created such beautifully detailed tattoos while maintaining the integrity of the Egyptian goddesses I wanted. He planned them with as much passion and creativity as if it was his own tattoo. You won’t find that level of attention to detail anywhere else. It will truly be an honor to wear it for life.Thanks again, Steve, for putting so much of your time and energy into what you created for me. You did such an amazing job and are so kind and professional. I can’t wait to continue the sleeve next month! Less
