This place has a very comfortable atmosphere with very nice people. I was seen within ten minutes. Casey did my piercing. He was amazing through the whole process. Very nice and you feel like you have known him forever. Love my piercings!!!
I am not a young person, and recently got my first tattoo at Defiant Designs. Jake created the exact replica of my writing. The experience was excellent, and I returned for a second tattoo. Jake is a genuine artist; I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting beautiful body art.
This is where Ive gotten my only tattoos. Jeff is so talented, and good natured. Ive never met such a great artist! He walked me through my first tattoo so I wasnt afraid. Ive been a repeat customer, and would recommend Defiant Designs to anyone looking for a tattoo or piercing.
This is the only place I have gone for all my tattoos...Jeff is amazing! I have learned to go in with more of an open mind on an idea rather than going in having my heart set on one thing because his ideas I end up loving more than what I came up with! All of the artists are very talented! & Casey has done a few of my piercings as well very clean & professional! Highly recommend this place
Two friends and myself walked into defiant designs tonight and Reggie tattooed all three of us. He was so amazing and thorough and I loved how he was always checking in on us to make sure we were OK and that we were happy with everything. The new location is huge and super clean. Everyone that works there is hilarious and fun to be around. I had such a positive experience that I’d even go back there just to hang out. I’ll never go anywhere else for another tattoo/piercing ever again.
Jeff is awesome, takes time to get to know everyone here tattoos. VERY reasonably priced, had a great staff Casey and Jake are just as friendly. All three are highly recommend!
Jeff has done 4 tattoos for me.....so far..... all custom, all amazing!!!!! My husband and my daughter have also been tattooed by Jeff, Reggie & Bri!!! Casey is an amazing piercer and my daughter & I have several piercings from him!! We would never go anywhere else! Professional, Clean & Fun!!!!!
Reggie has done all 3 of my tattoos and Jeff did my moms first tattoo. They are amazing, friendly, and good company. Casey pierced my belly button and I wont go through anywhere else! They are reasonably priced too!
Casey is very helpful with helping you decide on a piercing. I am glad that he is honest about if a certain piercing would be worth it for you in the long run instead of doing it anyway, i had originally planned on getting an industrial, but he was honest and said that because of how my ears are it probably would be best to just not do it. And i am a bit sad, but id rather him be honest and for that Im grateful. Instead i ended up getting a septum piercing and he was phenomenal, it didnt really hurt and he was very quick about getting it done instead of screwing around like some other people have when piercing me. I had a great experience,10/10 will come back for another piercing
Theres no other shop I would trust more than this one. Jeff is an amazing artist and has a crew that portrays even more so what a great person and mentor he is in general. I highly recommend anyone and everyone stop in and get some amazing ink or a piercing!!!!
I have 4 Jeff Bird original tattoos. Its amazing how you can just give him an idea and he can create such amazing works of art. And its a huge bonus hes one great guy tooo. I also have piercings done by Casey, hes fantastic as well. The environment here is sooo great and you really feel like family. I will always come here for any of my tattoos or piercings.
Jeff and the guys at defiant designs are the only ones in this area that I will go to. Theyre all super professional, and their work really speaks for itself.On my 18th birthday Jeff did a tattoo for me in memory of my late grandmother, and when I saw the finished piece, it was so beautiful that I cried. He really puts his all into each and every tattoo, from beginning to end, he works diligently to make sure that the tattoo youre getting is everything you wanted and more.
I have basically lived at Defiant ever since I was 18. I love being able to walk in and everyone knows your name and its friendly and clean! Jeff, Reggie, Bran, and Casey are super amazing at what they do. Its an awesome environment to be in while getting some top notch ink. (And the prices are pretty great for what you get)
Absolutely fantastic. Went and got tattooed by Rob. He was so nice the entirety of the time I was getting it done. All the staff are friendly, tattoos look fantastic, prices are reasonable and they will work with you if you happen to have a set budget. Will never go anywhere else but here for tattoos in the future .
Jeff did an awesome job
My sister and I have had our last few tattoos done by Jeff the owner. We likely it there. The fact that Jeff draws something special just for you makes it so much better. Never just gives you a piece of flash. He makes the piece personal just for you. Thank you Jeff! You rock!!
My daughter and I got our navels pierced, he did a great job with good humor and total professionalism. Clean, focused and careful, but he kept us smiling through everything. Made sure we understood after care instructions, and offered ongoing help with new jewelry when needed. Very well done.
Amazing place! Beautiful shop and very friendly and talented artists. Jeff has done two extensive biomechanical pieces on my forearm and chest. The line work is always superb and the amount of effort put in to make sure you love every last detail is the reason i always return. As soon as i can scrap up a few extra dollars you know im gonna get a shoulder piece to tie them together!
The best shop in the Southern Tier! All of the artists are amazing and very talented. They always make you feel comfortable and welcome. Every experience I have had with them has been phenomenal, and the execution of pieces have been perfect. If youre looking for quality, custom work, look no further!
Jeff bird is an amazing tatoo artist! He has original ideas and so much talent! He has done 3 awesome tatoos for me and I have never been disappointed ! His shop is very clean and everyone is always friendly. I wouldnt go anywhere else. go get a tatoo from Defiant Designs in johnson city!!
Last September, I went here to get two piercings and they were very kind, professional and sanitary. I highly, HIGHLY recommend going here.
Ive known Jeff for awhile now and ever sence i met him our main conversation was getting in for some ink. Once i did havent stoped! The #1shop in the area! Became friends with the whole crew...three very talented artists in there own way and i might ad the best piercer around! Good looking (((Defiant Designs)))..ill always be back!
I’m from out of town. At 46 years young, I got a bug to get my nose pierced. I went to another shop and they wouldn’t wait on me, as you needed an appointment.That brought me to Defiant , and I am so glad it did !I was very skeptical just based on the neighborhood and being from out of town, I decided to take my chances. As soon as I walked in the front door, I knew I was in good hands.Casey explained the whole process, was very humorous and kind, we chatted like old friends, the whole time. His room was clean and so were the instruments. The whole staff made you feel like family..Thank you Defiant for making my piercing experience an awesome one.
Awesome place to get some custom ink therapy done. Very friendly and phenomenal work! Jake Anthony does a outstanding job. Absolutely love his custom art peices that he will draw up and design for you to make it one of a kind!
I had Jeff do a hibiscus and dragonfly tattoo on my arm. I went back yesterday just to do a touch up and Jeff spent a lot of time on it. I didnt think it was possible to love my tat anymore than I already did but....I do!!! If you live near or around Broome county and want an amazingly beautiful tattoo you have to check out Defiant Designs!
Best tattoo shop I’ve even been in! Jeff is the best tattoo artist you could ask for and the staff as a whole makes you feel welcome and makes you feel at home! If you want laughs and talent this is your place!
Cool Bri is my favorite tattoo artist! I got a rib piece recently and she made the whole experience as comfortable as possible. She is professional and creative! One of the few artists that I really trust.
Casey was great, very patient when piercing my 5yr olds ears. Very thorough as well. My 16yr old also had a great experience. Definitely recommend!!
Jeff has done all of my ink. He is a fantastic artist and I get compliments where ever I go.Dont hesitate to call them and make an appointment!
Went there to get my ears repierced and they were amazing and I even got some advice about a cover up tattoo...will definitely be going back and would definitely recommend 👌
The owner is super nice I helped fix the aquarium in there and was surprised how nice the staff was and the amazing work they do I would recommend this place to anyone there level of cleanliness is of upmost consideration for there clients hope this helps your in good hands
Jeff and Casey have been my artist for a decade and are 2 of the best people I know. Would recommend to anyone. Very proud of what they have done.

2021-11-09Me and my friend made appointments here, after another piercer did not show up after we drove 45 minutes for the appointment. We ended up calling almost every piercing shop in the area and Defiant Designs was the only one that answered their phone, let alone being able to squeeze us in. Our experience here was wonderful, the shop was clean, and Casey was professional and explained everything thoroughly, making this overall a very positive experience.

2021-10-07So far Casey has given me a conch and two helix piercings. All have been done well and less painfully than expected. Shop is very clean and employees are professional and kind. I will be coming back for more piercings and possibly tattoos

2020-09-05I met with Connor at Defiant Designs for my first piece, and it was a very good experience. Everyone was friendly and responsive to my ideas. I was very happy with price transparency and honest dialogue. The piece came out better than I imagined and immediately made a follow up appointment.

2017-09-30Defiant designs is a top notch tattoo and piercing studio. Jeff has done two tattoos for me and I will never go to anyone else. His artistry is incredible and he and the other artists there are personable and make the atmosphere comfortable. The new shop is still in the works but looks great and has even more potential to grow.
