The Untitled Hotel on the Lower East Side is home to Unscripted Ink, the city’s first in-hotel tattoo studio. Unlike traditional gift shops, Unscripted Ink offers immersive experiences with tattoos that last 1 to 3 years, as well as classic black outline designs. The hotel’s graffiti, street art, and murals provide inspiration for visitors as they make their way to the tattoo shop through the lobby and restaurant.
Guests can enjoy a tattoo happy hour at the hotel’s rooftop bar, Unlisted, where fresh ink comes with a complimentary drink. Additionally, Unscripted Ink offers a weekly flash tattoo deal, giving $50 off regular prices for pre-designed tattoos that change weekly. This offer extends to both hotel guests and locals during hotel-affiliated events. Co-founder Liv Novotny shares that tattoos are the ultimate souvenir of travel, serving as a reminder of the city visited and the adventure experienced.
Prices for tattoos at Unscripted Ink start at $150 for small designs, with custom or larger pieces priced based on size and detail. A $50 deposit is required to reserve a spot, which is then applied to the final cost of the tattoo. Co-founder Sarah-Michelle also offers piercings, starting at $80 for ear piercings and $100 for body piercings. Surgical steel jewelry and upgrade options are available for those interested in piercings as well.
Overall, Unscripted Ink aims to provide visitors with a unique and memorable experience during their stay at The Untitled Hotel. The combination of tattoo artistry with the hotel’s vibrant atmosphere and offerings creates an opportunity for guests to take home a one-of-a-kind souvenir that will last a lifetime. With a focus on providing excellent service and a variety of options for tattoos and piercings, Unscripted Ink sets itself apart as a must-visit destination for those looking to add a special touch to their travel experience in New York City.
