Reviews of Red Baron Ink Tattoo and Piercing

Patrick Hanley

Had my first tattoo done by Grant and can say only amazing things about him and the shop. Positive vibes as soon as you walk in with everyone I talked to being super helpful. Grant designed a killer tattoo and knocked it “out of this world”. His ability to bring my ideas into the design were great. His attention to detail and his care for me while getting the tattoo were greatly appreciated. Grant checked in on my throughout the process making sure I was still feeling good to go. Had some great and funny banter with him and others in the shop, can definitely feel the sense of community in there. Truly appreciate the amazing work Grant gave me and can’t thank him enough!

Courtney Ferrell

I had a WONDERFUL tattoo experience at Red Baron. Everyone was super friendly, especially my tattoo artist, Daisy. She met with me a couple weeks before my first appointment to plan out my Turtle tattoo and made a gorgeous design incorporating the mermaid I already had. She was as excited as I was about the tattoo and it was clear she spent a huge amount of time thinking about it and planning it out to make it **perfect**. It was even better than I could have imagined. Daisy also did everything possible to help me feel comfortable during the tattoo. I am so incredibly happy with the result and cannot wait to show it off this summer!!

Jessica Pownall

Red Baron Ink is the only place I’ll go to get a tattoo! I’ve gotten 4 tattoos there now, and the experience is always positive. The artists are amazing, in particular Joanna Gacek and Daisy. If you are looking for a black and grey tattoo, Joanna is THE BEST! Both my husband and I have photo-realistic portraits of birds and they are incredible. The talent she has for capturing the specific animals we wanted is unreal. I brought in a few pictures of the crow that I work with and Joanna captured her perfectly. It’s not just any crow-it’s my Harriet! Joanna gave great advice on design and placement, and I couldn’t be happier! Daisy recreated a picture from my favorite childhood book perfectly. Her work with color, especially the watercolor style, is awesome. Everyone here is super friendly and puts you at ease. It makes sitting in the chair for a few hours pleasant! I cannot recommend RBI highly enough!!

Harold Santiago

Everyone I've met in this shop are great people. They make you feel comfortable and consult with to make sure you getting what you really want or if you're feeling a bit spontaneous they have flash tattoos ready for the taking. The artist there who I have a couple pieces from is Eric and he's an amazing artist and knows how apply the right amount of pressure on the skin. Can't wait to get another one!

Benjamin Roldan

What a great experience this shop has been. Top notch, hands down best tattoo shop in the east coast. The whole crew is awesome. They make you feel comfortable and take care of you in the best way possible.

A new design on my inner bicep tattoo by Grant Lubbock. I came to this place after finding it on instagram and following the artists. I loved his work as a mixture of several styles at once: Graphics, Japanese, Aesthetic, Fine Line and Color. Grant Lubbock is honestly the best, super easy to talk to and extremely talented at what he does and delivers the BEST work. Grant is very sweet and patient, he was careful with the placement of the tattoo since it is an awkward spot with the way the bicep shifts naturally. I love the delicate, detailed style (single needle) that he has and he really pays attention to what you want, please look at the photo (peacock tattoo). Grant is getting popular within the tattoo community so better book him fast! Whether you have a very specific piece you want done or you're just interested in getting some art done, Grant works WITH you for a great experience. I highly suggest it- and expect I will be back for more.

Patty Collazo

RBI is the only tattoo/piercing parlor in NYC that I truly trust. Very clean facility and very friendly staff! I wanted a tattoo of my cat and Grant executed it amazingly. He was very accommodating and helpful with the design of the tattoo and process. Super cool to chat with as well. I definitely recommend this place. There's an artist for every style!

Angie Jefferson

Grant is such an amazing and patient tattoer! He came up with a great traditional design and is very friendly and patient. His work on me was hella clean and sharp. The shop is very clean and the other artists provided such a good vibe and great customer service with a welcoming atmosphere. I would 1000% recommend this place to anyone and everyone. I’ve been a customer for years and I’m definitely coming back in the near future again :)

Alejandra Montoya

Lauren did an amazing job. My friend and I were able to get her work and she was very knowledgeable on everything. She recommend for me to get a lower forward helix so I can one day have more, something that I have never even thought of. Thank you so much! The store Id very clean and staff is very friendly. I am very pleased with my experience

Gaillot Joseph

I mean, where do I start? This place and everyone that works there are absolutely amazing! Joanna is hands down, the best. Her professionalism, honesty & character are unmatched. I felt so cared for and she's truly a master at what she does. Thank you a million times for taking the time to create this piece of art that I'll forever be grateful for. You're amazing & will definitely be seeing me again!

leandra perelli

Most amazing artists and extremely helpful with choosing the right design, font, size, etc. if you’re having trouble deciding. Shamil did 4 fine line hand tattoos and one on my forearm to start my patch work sleeve and I couldn’t be happier with how they came out. Incredible at his craft and almost painless for 5 tattoos in one sitting! Highly recommend and will definitely be back

Zorra Night

Everything I could have hoped for. I was tattooed by Eric. He did a extraordinary job. I traveled from upstate all the way to nyc for this tattoo and it was beyond worth the trip. He captured exactly what I wanted. Also the atmosphere is amazing. Everyone was super friendly and fun to be around. 10/10 highly recommend, I’m definitely going back!

joshua rizek

They were extremely professional and Eric did some amazing work! They were highly communicative and had fair prices. Eric’s work was high quality and he was very proficient. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for serious tattoo work.

Michael F. Caracta

I had a really great, positive experience at Red Baron getting my fourth tattoo. The place had a really good vibe, friendly atmosphere and I noticed right off the bat how focused all the artists were in their work, yet at the same time very interactive with the patrons. My artist was Joanna and when we first met, she was really upbeat and positive and a great conversationalist and stayed that way throughout the long process. We initially went through the design via e-mail communications and when I saw her ideas in person, I was truly impressed....I'm really happy with the finished piece! The shop and Joanna are truly worth it, and I would recommend to book as early as possible as they and Joanna are in high demand....Mike C.

Sarah Abreu

Such an awesome experience! I love the studio, feels like a real, classic tattoo shop. As soon as I walked in the vibes were high and everyone was super friendly. I had a consultation and an appointment scheduled within a month. I got three tattoos in my session, everything went smoothly and looked awesome. As icing on the cake, Alex took some stunning photos of all three of my pieces, I was so excited to have professional images coming out of this!

Andrew Barcus

Stopped in for my birthday, just to get a small tattoo. Wife came with and got something small as well. Wait was a little long but too bad. The small work we got was perfect, and healed up real nice. Wife and I satisfied with our tattoos and service. Would definitely come here again next time I'm in town.

Sean Wright

I went here for my first tattoo and I had an incredible experience. Eric was my artist and he really did a phenomenal job helping make my idea a reality. Definitely would go back for more in the future!

Hayley Dier

Went in for my third tattoo at RBI yesterday. This time I worked with Grant on a design I’ve had in mind for a very long time and just needed to find the perfect tattoo artist to bring it to life. Grant’s design is absolutely perfect! My experience in the shop was exceptional, as it always is. It was a long session but Grant made sure I was always comfortable and checked in with me throughout the process. My finished tattoo is above and beyond my expectations and I’m completely thrilled with how it looks. I will happily return to RBI for more tattoos in the future as well as continue to recommend this shop to anyone who asks.

Laura

Had an amazing experience from booking to finished tattoo. This is the friendliest shop I have ever been tattooed at. Everyone was sweet and personable. Mary is incredible. She was hospitable and cued in on my needs. Her work is impeccable. Color is fantastic on my Totoro piece. I drove a long way for this tattoo and it exceeded my expectations. 10/10. Love RBI and will be back for more! Edit: Included photo.

Alex Klein

I’ve come here for both a piercing and a tattoo at this point and both have been wonderful experiences. Mary did my tattoo and she’s super friendly and did a great job leaving me really happy. Lauren did my snake bites and I love them, she was super helpful too with any issues that arose. Will definitely be making this my regular spot for body mods. :)

Charles Rockhill

I’ve been to Mary twice at Red Baron Ink and plan on many returns. Her art is epic and her talent is unsurpassed. If you want to see precisely crisp line work, speed & attention to detail, Mary is the artist for you. What started as a single tattoo for me quickly became the beginning of something more. I sing her praises to anyone who asks about my tattoos and encourage everyone to book an appointment with her. Gifted, brilliant and skilled. Check out and follow her Instagram @missvampira to see for yourself.

Kal Lutz

Entire shop was upbeat, clean & kind. Eric did an amazing job on my tattoo. His detail work is amazing, even over scars and super small. 10/10 would recommend!

Thomas Niestoj

Started my sleeve with Joanna and I couldn't be more happy to continue working with her. We have a few more sessions to go and I am very excited to get back to the shop. The environment is very friendly, great staff, great music, and the whole shop makes you feel like family.

Jimmy F

Place is dope. I know people new to tattoos may feel intimidated walking into a tattoo shop but this place is totally laid back and chill and not the slightest bit intimidating. They have a very welcoming store front, friendly staff, and awesome artists.

Daniyal Riaz

Red Baron ink has unique designs and such hospitable environment. I got my first piercing here and I was extremely nervous but everyone made me feel welcome and it was a very quick and pain free experience. My partner got his tattoo done here. It is a very LGBTQ+ friendly place. You should definitely check in with Alex, he’s literally so helpful, helped us pick matching jewelry and gave us the most amazing recommendations, and also took some cool photos for us.Hands down perfect experience

Thaddeus Bower

I cannot say enough about Red Baron. It is a true gem. The shop is clean, bright, filled with books, and has a very relaxed and comfortable vibe. If you're interested in a tattoo, I HIGHLY recommend trying to book an appointment with Shamil. He is GREAT. His work is truly remarkable and he is careful to make sure you are happy and enjoying the experience. I can't wait to book my next appointment with him.

Bob Walk

My experience here was nothing short of amazing!! After talking to Shamil and telling him what I was looking for (basically my wife and 3 daughters are my sun, moon, and stars) and that I was looking for a way to incorporate that into my Tattoo, he took it from there. I had a rough idea of what I wanted (with a picture) bur Shamil completely took it to another level and exceeded all my expectations plus more. The design, the detail and the coloring were seriously way more than I had hoped for. I would 100% recommend Shamil to anyone thinking of using his services.

PJ

First time piercing! Got a double helix piercing with Xavier. Such a great experience, wasn't rushed at all. I bled a lot more than expected, but Xavier handled it with ease and made sure to keep me relaxed. The place itself is extremely clean, too. Can't wait for the follow-up and future piercings!

Gabrielle Ginn

RBI has some of the kindest, coolest and talented artists in the city. they always make the tattooing experience fun and comfortable - so much so that I always end up leaving with more tattoos than I had planned. this incredible tarot design was done by the especially talented Grant! also want to shout out Dave, who did the below tooth, for being wonderful, as well as the phenomenal Mary. and thanks to Alex for taking pictures that do this art justice!

I K

Today was my first time at Red Baron Ink and my first time getting pierced by Xavier. I was a little nervous but the shop employees were so sweet and accommodating that I could relax as I waited. Adam helped my pick out my jewelry for my piercings and he was super welcoming. The prices for my pieces were affordable and they were gorgeous! My worry probably only came back right when Xavier was going to stab the needle in but truly it wasn't that bad. He absolutely finessed my nose piercing and my tragus piercing and was very informative and communicative during the whole process. I felt super safe and I love how everything came out! I will for sure come again when I get the itch for a new piercing.

Edwin Martinez

Great tattoo parlor with great tattoo artists. Grant was my tattoo artist he did an amazing job I sent him my idea and we worked around to the final design you see in the photo. I love the final design I thought grant did an amazing job he was very efficient and made the process as comfortable as possible. I would definitely go back to Red Baron Ink and would recommend them for anyone

tyler harriman

Great shop! Nice and clean and friendly atmosphere. Every person working there was incredibly nice to me. My tattoo artist Dave (@ganjatattoos on Instagram) is top notch. He took a very abstract idea I had for a tattoo and did an amazing job! I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking to get a tattoo or piercing in the area.

John Vasquez

Simply a great experience for my first tattoo and ear piercing. Space was organized, well lit, all the staff was super helpful and friendly; X did my ear piercings with expertise while keeping cleanliness and comfort in mind. David did an excellent job bringing my tattoo idea to life and helped get the perfect size and placement. Couldn’t be more satisfied; highly recommend!!

John Cody Gilbert

I had an absolutely amazing experience with Shamil! This was my first tattoo and I really appreciated Shamil’s efforts to make me feel comfortable and give me some knowledge for the future. The artwork is amazing and faithful to the original painting. I’m incredibly satisfied and excited to have this art on my body and to have trusted Shamil with this first time experience. Also, the tattoo healed wonderfully, and I really appreciated the detailed instructions that Shamil took the time to send me over instagram for how to take care of it during the healing process. Needless to say, well worth the price for the amount of skill and work I can tell goes into this art form. Thanks so much Red Baron Ink and Shamil!

Madeleine Hermann

Such a great experience !! Got my nose pierced by Lauren, it was my first body piercing and she did such a great job making me feel comfortable. I tend to get a little faint with needles and she was super wonderful and accommodating. It also looks amazing !! I'll absolutely be back :)

Joshua Lacle

I went to get a tattoo and piercing and had the best experience ever. The artists are so kind and collaborative and made the most comfortable experience possible. Alex the photographer there took great pictures that I will keep forever. I love my tattoos and will definitely return as soon as possible to get another!

Kareem Nasr

honestly one of the nicest studios i’ve ever been in and the cleanest, the people are so welcoming and they have candyy!! I had a walk in flash tattoo with Dave @ganjatattoos on the IG! Dave was very accommodating to my asks and extremely friendly! AND THE TALENT!! the picture speaks for itself and its healing perfectly!! will def be getting another piece again when in NYC!

Lainey Allison

Made an appointment last minute to get my nose pierced this past Sunday, 7/24. Xavier was absolutely awesome and despite the fact that I was nervous, he explained every step and what he’d be doing so I felt at ease. He also explained the after care steps in detail to make sure I knew how to take care of the piercing so it didn’t get infected. He was super nice and you can tell that he enjoys what he does. Thank you, Xavier!

Daniella C

I had such a great experience at Red Baron! Got a matching tattoo with my friend and Dave took his time to make sure we were both happy with the design and made us so comfortable for our first tattoos. The tattoos came out flawless and the place is super clean, couldn’t recommend him and Red Baron more.

Chaturbate Papi

Everyone there was nice, the owner/manager is very polite throughout our whole interaction, and my artist was no different plus gave me a very overwhelming piece of art that I liked as soon as I saw it. My artist Eric is very versatile as the website suggests and if it weren't for him I wouldn't have gotten a tattoo simply put

Dudie Silberman

I took my daughter here to have her ears pierced and we had a great experience. Lauren was very professional and caring with an anxious little girl. She explained every step and made us feel very comfortable! I would highly recommend RBI for children's piercings.

Sarina Cuevas

I now have 4 tattoos of Mary’s work and she is the best. Respectful, understanding, kind, helpful and all around the coolest woman ever. Always a pleasure talking all things horror with her! The place is very professional, clean and the vibes are great. While I’ve only been tattooed by Mary, the others artists are also masters at their craft and have been so kind to chat with me while in the studio. You can tell this is a place of passionate artists who love what they do and support the people around them.

Carissa Shannon

Xavier did a great job! He was clear about what he was doing, and how he was going to do it. He provided tons of info related to aftercare - both things to do and things to avoid. I’m an RN with 15 years experience in the operating room… his attention to cleanliness was reassuring. The shop is clean, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I would return.

Alexis F

I had Lauren for my ear and nose piercings. She was nice, professional and attentive. If you’re going for piercings (first time or vet) she comes highly recommended! Overall, Red Baron is a good place for piercings and tattoos, CLEAN and professional.

Kenny Cheng

I am very pleased with RBI and my tattoo artist Grant. First of all, I loved how during my first consultation with Grant, he was not pushy with booking my appointment. He gave me time to think about it - after all, it is a huge commitment! I have been emailing him and Adam (manager) and they were super attentive and helpful. Grant is a highly talented artist. He knew exactly what I wanted and how I wanted my tattoo. The way he brought to life my tattoo is breathtaking. I would 1000% recommend this shop to anyone who is looking for any tattoo size and design. Of course I am biased with going with Grant but he has some very talented artists there as well (I watched them work while I was getting my tattoo for 6 hours). No regrets whatsoever!

Avalon Hester

Had a great experience with my first tattoo at RBI. My artist was Dave (@ganjatattoos on IG) and I can't recommend him or his work enough. His work is insanely clean and is healing beautifully - plus he was fun to talk to! Really talented shop with great people!

Joan Espinoza

Got tattooed this time with Dave / @ganjatattoos He’s an absolute gem, makes tattoos not hurt at all and always makes sure you are comfortable and good the whole time. Decided to get this botanical piece of his original design and I’m very happy with it; definitely recommend him if you’re looking for delicate, fineline tattoos. He’s rising star! Thank you Dave!

Donavin Hamilton

Did place is awesome everyone's chill but professional. My tattoo artist was Delvirus, his portfolio had exactly what I was looking for so I decided to choose him as my artist. Overrall very great tattoo studio cabt wait to get another tattoo there.

Theresa Straub

Got my first tattoo done by Shamil and had an amazing experience at Red Baron. People, customer service, and atmosphere were amazing. Felt very well taken care of, Shamil made sure my tattoo was everything I wanted it to be, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Thank you! "Incredible people, artwork, customer service, atmosphere, location, prices."

S C

My experience at RBI was great from start to finish… from booking my appointment to the follow up email I received after my tattoo. Shamil was great! He made me feel really comfortable before and during my tattoo and took his time explaining all of the aftercare. If I’m in NYC again and want a tattoo i’ll definitely be coming here!

Grey Withae

I had a tattoo done by Mary and I absolutely ADORE it! Her artwork, her table side manner, her professionalism was all increíble. She made my first tattoo experience amazing and I will be recommending her to anyone and everyone I run into who is interested in getting a tattoo.

Leslie Dip

Dave was AMAZINGGGG!!! I got in touch with him via Instagram (@ganjatattoos) and he responded quick and efficiently. I asked about a tattoo design and if it was possible for him to do as well as pricing and Dave answered everything and was so nice about it. Within two weeks I was able to book an appointment and see him. The tattoo lasted about 5 hours but he was so nice and humorous which made the time go so fast! He is also very gentle with his ink as I was almost about to fall asleep on him haha Dave is a professional and I will definitely be seeing him for my future tattoo ideas!!!!! Thank you so much for your time and patience! The staff was also very nice and created such a positive energy which made me super comfortable. Please go here for your next tattoo/piercing, you will definitely not regret it.

Rebecca Snaider

I absolutely love this shop!!! Lauren specifically!! She’s so so knowledgeable, personable, sweet, funny, and caring! I’ve taken many friends here and always come out with a perfect piercing and new needed information! I highly recommended this place above ANY OTHER in the city! Worth the journey!! Got my septum repierced revently and everything is perfect

sierra allen

My piercer was Lauren and she did amazing. She was very nice and made the process go by so smoothly. I will definitely come back here and to her for my next piercings.

Amy Roach

Lots of love to Red Baron Piercing and Xavier for such a great experience! Girls trip to NYC with spontaneous piercings for all 4 of us! Such great customer service from start to finish, attention to detail and perfection of piercings! Thanks Xavier and team!! 10/10 recommend!!

Katie Forrest

I saw Shamil a few days ago and was absolutely blown away! His fine line work is incredible and he’s an awesome guy, the entire experience was wonderful. I will definitely be returning for my next set of tattoos and would recommend Shamil to anyone looking for a tattoo artist.

Arielle Smith

overall the shop had such a good, welcoming vibe, everyone was super nice and got along like a little tattoo family. shamil was my artist and made this custom design for me, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out and his artistic style.

Joshua Spiezle

Mary is an absolutely amazing tattoo artist and an even better person! She helped me so much through the whole process and wouldn't settle for anything less than the perfect design. If you want a tattoo that you will not soon forget (get it? it's a joke about tattoos), check out @missvampira !!!!

Kdhr3tbc

I got a tattoo from Dave, IG: ganjatattoos. Whole experience was great, he was excited about my idea, asked the other artists input regarding placement until he got it perfect. He maintained focus while having good bedside manner, talked about movies, video games and dogs (holy trinity). The finished product was jus what I wanted, very clean and reignited my interest in getting more tattoos. Go to RBI for a great customer service experience, good prices and don't be afraid if it's only your first or second one, they treat you the same as someone tatted head to toe. Buncha sweeties working there. Then go get Cuban food across the street and eat a Pepito. Thanks Dave and RBI!!

Holland Pintarch

Mary (Miss Vampira) has now done 4 of my tattoos and I'm in love with every single one! She's a great artist, creative and super professional. The studio itself is comfortable and everyone is friendly. Get your next tattoo by Mary at RBI!

Graham Cummings

When in New York we had to get a tattoo. Shamil was our artist and was awesome from the start, even talked about football which I wasn't expecting 🤭🤭 all staff there were very friendly and attentive. If you're ever in New York I'd highly recommend coming. …

Elliot Craft

Got my first tattoo with Shamil, couldn't have asked for a better experience. Helpful, informative, made it completely worry free. I'll definitely be back for my next one.

Ashlee Melville

Xavier pierced my nipples and was so sweet and helped me be less nervous. He really made the experience amazing!

paul padilla

This tattoo is really a neckbreaker, sitting 6 1/2 hours was really a challenge for me but I won haha. All thanks to Grant Lubbock, another sick tattoo has been made!.. If anyone is interested in getting tattooed please hit him up in his shop, lots of talents and lots of ideas. 100% recommendable!

Nicola Gastaldi

What a great experience! I just had my septum pierced by Xavier. I couldn't be happier, honestly! Absolutely careful in every aspect of the procedure, he was able to put me at ease, being super kind and polite, and most importantly extremely careful about what he was doing. I felt no pain at all and he explained calmly and kindly all the after care, answering my many questions. The shop is spotless and the rest of the staff is so welcoming and nice it's simply unbelievable. Xavier was also kind to check if my tongue hole was still open, again super careful and kind and patient. I've never had such a perfect experience in any shop in my life. Absolutely recommended and actually I can't wait to go back, probably in 3 days time, to get something else pierced. Well done everyone!!!

Genevieve Suaner

I found RBI in google, checked out the website and decided to get an appointment so I email and got a response back within 24 hours. I was impressed because I did sent out more than a couple of inquiries out there but none of them replied. I came in the store and it looks clean and organized. The staff are very nice and friendly. After 20 years of ambivalence, I finally got my first tattoo with Daisy. She is such as amazing artist because she truly captured the image that I like (Lotus flower). Aside from being a master of her craft, she is very warm and caring. I get a lot of compliments and asked if it a tattoo or a sticker :) Thanks so much Daisy for an awesome 1st tat experience. Cant wait to get more. Xavier did my ear piercing and he did an absolutely amazing job.

Emily Carlstrom

I got two ear piercings and a jewelry change with Lauren and had an excellent experience! First of all the shop is very clean and welcoming. She helped me pick out jewelry from a great selection and I never felt rushed. They use high grade materials and are professional but also friendly during the piercing process. I love how my piercings turned out and will definitely be going back next time I want another one

Nacy

This review is for Shamil. He was beyond nice and he did absolutely stunning job with my tattoo. He explained every step of the process to me in detail since it was my first time getting a tattoo and that helped me a lot in terms of anxiety which is highly appreciated. Very friendly and considerate. Not to mention, that line work is just exquisite. Definitely recommend going to him. You won’t regret it. ❤️❤️

Ruz Jimenez

Went there today for 2 piercings (rook and navel). I had a great experience with Lauren. She was great in explaining the process, the aftercare, and any questions that I had in between. I do NOT like pain, but it was virtually painless. I really recommend anyone coming here for their piercings. Thank you for a great experience!

Allaya Fleischer

My daughter wanted to get her ears pierced, and I was looking around for reputable piercers who would pierce her with a needle rather than a gun or cassette. I decided to go in and get a nostril piercing to feel the place out, and I'm so glad I did! First of all, the staff are all very friendly, knowledgeable, and really laid back...you'll get zero judgements here. Second, the place is extremely clean and has a dedicated room for piercings only. They will autoclave your jewelry right before you get pierced. Third, they have a really nice selection of jewelry running the range from implant grade titanium to 14 karat gold; You'll have no problem finding something you love within your price range here, and they're pretty up front about cost, so you can definitely stay within your budget if you just ask. My piercer, Xavier, was always calm, collected, and offered very clear and helpful feedback regarding jewelry selection, placement, and walking me through the process. The piercing itself was quick and almost painless, and his suggested aftercare is more or less in line with the recommendations published by the Association of Professional Piercers on their website. So far, my piercing is healing beautifully with no complications whatsoever. There isn't a lot on Red Baron's reviews that reflect the piercing experience, so I'll admit I was a bit wary going in, but after my experience here, I definitely have no issue bringing my daughter here because I know they will take care of her, and she will have a great experience.

Regan Olivares

The location is so nice! Super clean and has a really good vibe to it. The service is 10/10. They helped me pick out earrings and gave me great suggestions. Also, very upfront about pricing. Lauren did my piercings and she was great! Knew what she was doing and really just knows everything there is to know!

Sylvia

Found this place by a random search originally and I walked away with an amazing tattoo. I'm glad I decided to have Shamil design a custom piece for me. It took multiple sessions and he did such a wonderful job. He seemed to know exactly what I wanted. Every time I visited the shop it was clean, organized, and everyone was super helpful. 10/10 would recommend to my friends.

Juliette Pabst

Even better than I expected! I had sent a design idea via email prior to the appointment but I couldn’t find a picture of the exact design I wanted. Somehow, Shamil managed to read my mind and drew exactly what I was looking for. His work was absolutely flawless. I’ve been going to RBI for piercings for 2 years and they’re always so kind and professional. Never left that shop disappointed Would give 6 stars if I could :)

Rafael Vasquez

This place it all-around the best. Emailed them for an appointment and they responded in less then 24hrs. The shop is clean and the staff are very friendly. Shamil was my artist and i could not me happier with my tattoo.

DAP

I worked with Eric on a tattoo I wanted on my hand. He made the peice 100 times better than what i expected. He was very easy on the needle/tattoo pen as well and kept all his focus on making it perfect. In between breaks he would even offer a water or snack from the store which I thought was very nice of him. Everyone in the shop are super friendly. I cant wait to go back to get more tattoos from eric and even get work done from the other tattoo artists!

Liana Brady

I got two tattoos from Grant Lubbock, one of which is not pictured because it is hard to take a picture of it by myself. I would rate my experience at Red Baron Ink a 10/10. Grant was very respectful (which I appreciate as a woman), he had good conversation and hella good ink. I love the tattoos I got from him and am happy to wear them out and about. I get a lot of compliments on them, and people are always asking where I got them done. I have not gotten tattoos from any other artist here, but from what I have seen, their work is also amazing. If you're looking to get a sick tattoo that you wear with pride, then I would suggest making an appointment here!

Sylvia Padilla

April 1, 2022 Awesome! I got my first nose piercing and it was my first time I went there. Very neat, comfortable and safe. Also have a lot of stuff for sell, old/new style of tattoo and body piercing. People who work there are friendly and will ask first before you decide. I love my nose piercing. Looking 4ward for tattoo and more♡

Natalie Gutiérrez

I’ve gotten two piercings at Red Baron and I absolutely love them. Xavier is the best. One time I had issues with my conch and he helped me fix it ay no cost. Their jewelry is top quality and they are really helpful. I got a mid hélix piercing today with Xavier. He first makes a mark where the piercing will be and then asks if you want to change it or if you like that placement. The process is painless and he always make you feel comfortable. I highly recommend going here for you next piercing.

simran chugani

11/10 would recommend. Red Baron Ink is the best place to go to if your looking for professionals who pay attention to detail and cleanliness. The staff is super friendly too. Dude named Alex helped me out w some indecision I had and then took some sick pics of my new tattoos afterwards.

I had my first tattoo ever and I was very nervous. Mary was super nice as well as the rest of the crew at Red Baron. We wound up talking so much that I didnt even notice when the tattoo was over. I totally recommend this parlor. Its very clean. The only negative is that the seats in the waiting area are very uncomfortable. Other than that I recommend you get your tattoo services there!

Kenny Ferguson

My friend and I came from D.C and reached out to Red Baron to schedule an appointment for two tattoo's. They worked with us to get the artist that we wanted, Shamil. He was very friendly and is an amazing artist. Our tattoos look perfect and very detailed. He also followed up and asked how they were healing a few weeks after the appointments. If we are ever in NYC again we will be going back to Red Baron to see Shamil! Great customer service! Katie Metrenas

Angel Martinez

My artist Joanna did a great job ! Very professional and comforting, I got exactly what I wanted and would definitely go back for more. Had a great experience at this shop.

Ernesto Pelaez

The shop is very professional and clean. My emails were replied too in a timely manner. I had my tattoo done with Grant, and I could not be happier. I gave him my suggestions as to what I wanted done, and he was very patient and gave constructive feedback and ultimately came up with a beautiful, original piece of art that I truly love. The staff in the shop were very friendly and made me feel extremely comfortable. I would recommend this shop to get awesome work done by a super professional and friendly staff. You won't be disappointed.

amanda walker

The owner and artists at Red Baron are rad! Went on a large family trip to New York for the first time, and these guys fit 3 of us in during our short stay. We love our new ink x 3!!! The shop was really clean, comfortable, and nice to hangout in. Good vibes from Red Baron. Will go back next time in New York! I was eyeing the piercing jewelery as well. My step brother and I had Mary. She was really sweet!

Greer Glenn

Lauren pierced my ears (I got second and third holes on my lobes) and she was amazingly meticulous in making sure everything was even. she was so kind and great at putting me at ease as I was a bit nervous. The man at the front was also super nice getting me checked in and helping me pick out the best jewelry for me. Thanks y’all!

Jessie Scofield

My piercing experience here was definitely the best one I've ever had. The shop was clean, well organized, and everyone was helpful and friendly. Xavier did my piercings and his calm, relaxed demeanor really put me at ease. He answered all my questions and took his time to explain the process and make sure I was happy with the placement. I highly recommend getting a piercing at Red Baron Ink. I will definitely be going back there for my next one!

Silvia Azevedo

My sister and I both got nose piercings here. We had a great experience with Lauren. She was very gentle and thorough throughout the entire experience. She was also very patient with my incredibly nervous self. Five star service!

Lola Dorsogna

Shamil is a fantastic tattoo artist!! I went to Red Baron Tattoo last week to get a tattoo of a bird that my mom had drawn. Shamil helped me to alter the design to my liking on the spot when I arrived. He has a light hand and is so easy to talk to. I love my tattoo and he was very helpful in explaining the aftercare, as well. Thank you so much!!!

Sam Pinsky

I had a wonderful time in the shop this afternoon. Alex and I shared laughs as well as ideas while he helped me decide what piercings were best for me. It’s reassuring to know this city still has a few original cats that know what the score is. 10/10 experience ; please say hi to Alex!

a

I got my upper ear pierced by Xavier, he had a chill and friendly personality all while being professional and focused. My piercing feels great and I’m so happy with it, I definitely recommend!

D Coconilla

I had some emergency with my healing helix piercing so I googled & went here (walk-in). Even though I did not have an appointment, they were super nice, accommodating and helpful. I definitely recommend them & Lauren the piercer!

Matt Morris

I booked two tattoos with Mary and had two excellent experiences. The shop is clean, the artists are friendly, and you can tell that everyone cares about their work. Mary has amazing bedside manner and is a very skilled artist to boot. I'll definitely be going back for my next tattoos!

Jordan K

Received a tattoo from Shamil and it was as great experience as you can have. Professionalism, personable, and a high attention to detail to get the exact placement that worked best for my body. I appreciated his patience and most of all the final result! I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Bobbie Baldwin

The gentleman that does piercing was very helpful! My 16 year old needed a piercing removed. He was very nice, helpful, informative and not pushy with trying to sell us anything.

Diana V

First of all, I need to begin by saying I got my first ever tattoo here yesterday. I stumbled upon the shop using google. I began to look at all of the artists portfolios' and decided I needed to have Sam design my piece. I sent an e-mail out and Giselle answered quickly. Giselle was an angel and just as sweet in person as she is through her e-mails. I set up an appointment and went out to the shop to speak to Sam prior to the appointment. I arrived on the day of my appointment early - I was commuting in via trains and did not want to chance being late. Sue was already there, as well as Giselle, Grant, and Max. Every single one of them are down to earth and just generally good people. They want you to be there and they want to talk to you. They even gave me a few suggestions for which artist would be a good match for an idea my friend had in mind. Sam arrived early, so we got started a little early. She showed me her design and we had a quick discussion before she went back to sketching away. Once she was satisfied with the design, we began. I feel it's super important to stress JUST how clean they are. Everything from the table to the toolbox to the lamp was wiped down and covered with plastic. This is one of the things you really need to look out for in a shop and I must say that this shop takes pride in every single aspect of their work and it's something undoubtedly respectable. We got started and Sam was great. She kept checking in and reassured me that I was doing great (not moving, remembering to breath, etc). Giselle, Grant, Sue, and Max all kept coming over to watch her work. Their comments on how great it was coming out were so reassuring (not that I didn't trust Sam, but because it was my first piece!!!) The piece took about 4 and 1/2 hours with some breaks in-between. Sam did a beautiful piece on my thigh. In fact, it was so good, when i got home later, I cried. It is more than I could have ever imaged. Her line work, her color saturation, and her attention to detail in impeccable. I cannot wait to return there and have any of the artists there work on me. Red Baron team, it was a pleasure from start to finish. Thank you for being so reassuring to me, for my first tattoo, when I was there alone. You didn't make me feel alone ever. Thank you for coming and checking in on me and distracting me. You guys are the best! (Cross post from Yelp)

Maria Robles

I’ve been to RBI twice recently and can’t say enough good things about my experience. I was looking for an artist to do a tattoo of my mom’s signature and several of my friends had been to RBI before. I was really impressed by Shamil’s line work that I saw on their Instagram page so I booked a session with him. He did such an amazing job that I booked another session several weeks later for a more complex fine line tattoo on my leg. The shop is clean and inviting, check in process is easy, and I felt comfortable right away which was important because I was a bit uncertain and nervous since it had been about 15 years since my last tattoo. Shamil was super friendly, gentle, and so talented. Both of my tattoos were pain free and look incredible. I really enjoy coming to RBI and look forward to coming again soon. I highly recommend Shamil- he does beautiful work!

Pablo Solo

Dave (@ganjatattoos) was great and made the whole experience easy. From start to finish everything was seamless. Cant wait to go back and get another one!

Olivia Nash

Grant gave me a beautiful piece and promised another but AJ the shop receptionist never got back to me about scheduling either my touch up or my other piece so I booked with another shop. If y’all don’t want my money that’s fine I’ll find somebody who does.

Priscilla Jones

I got this Eminem portrait from Joanna and it came out so beautiful. I’ve gotten so many compliments on it. She was very friendly, kind, and made sure it was exactly how I wanted it. The shop overall had an amazing vibe and was very clean&professional. I highly recommend it to anybody looking to get a tattoo in the city.

Marc Shelley

Shamil is an amazing artist and a great collaborator. He listened to my ideas and delivered a design that was better than what I had imagined. He worked hard to incorporate all the elements I wanted. I’ve received a ton of compliments on the tattoo.

Lauren West

Got a tattoo of a scene from my favorite show (the 100) by Mary. She was quick, responsive, talented and made the entire process super painless. She made sure I got exactly what I asked for and made me feel comfortable 100% of the way. Also super friendly so I barely felt that I was being tattooed. Would recommend her to everyone and will definitely be back.

Jordan Parker

I am beyond obsessed with my new tattoo. Mary, literally knocked it out the park with the design, and completing the tattoo. I got something that was filled with so much emotion and it was nice to have Mary do this piece for me. This shop is much different than other tattoo shops I've been to, they're very nice, welcoming and the vibe is great! I am so happy I found her and this shop on Instagram. I definitely will be back to get more.THANK YOU MARY!

motee mallach

All of the staff we're very friendly and helpful. Lauren pierced both of my ear lobes, she was amazing, patient, friendly and she kept me informed of how to use the earrings and kept on telling me what she was doing to make the process comfortable and less stressful. She also explained how to clean it until it heals. You were amazing...

Tiffany Munoz

Shamil was my tattoo artist and boy did he deliver! I asked for a passion fruit flower tattoo which took over 5 hours in the chair and although it was painful compared to my other tats, it was completely worth all the time and money spent. It was my first time actually going to a shop VS an independent artist and I would 100% recommend this over the person I was going to before. He constantly checked in to make sure I was okay during after and even stayed in touch for the aftercare months after. Great place, great energy and great artists. Thanks Shamil! Will be back.

maha abdelhady

I have been doing research since January of this year when I decided I wanted to get a tattoo. Since it was my first one, I was nervous about the whole process and finding someone I feel comfortable with. After speaking to a few places and feeling off from the initial conversations, I was recommended by a friend to give this place a call. From the first conversation of asking to speak to someone about what I was looking for, the tone and energy on the phone was so amazing and comforting! I was given an option for several artist and although they are all amazing, I went with Daisy. She worked with me on the date and even offered to work on days not normally hers to accommodate my "single mom " schedule. After explaining to her what I needed, she put it all together and the day of my appointment, she brought my vision to life!! She was so sweet, understanding and truly made me feel so comfortable and welcomed. I felt as if I've know her for so long with how personable she was!! Even after the Tattoo was done, she wanted to touch it up to pop the colors even more. Again, she communicated with me all the time and made sure to work with me. I would 1,000% recommend her to anyone who is looking for their first Tat like I was or any color or anything as a matter of fact! The entire staff was amazing and made me feel at home each time I went in there. Daisy, thank you for an amazing job and I will definitely be back!! Thank you Red Baron Ink, you guys are truly the best!!!!

Shirell Klein

I went to Red Baron Ink to get a new cartilage piercing based on a recommendation from a friend. It was pretty far away but figured it was worth traveling to get a nice piercing. SO GLAD I DID! First off, the place is super cute and has really cool artwork inside. There was a ton of jewelry to choose from and separate room specifically for piercings. They have a full time piercer (not just a tattoo artist who does piercings on the side) and she is incredibly friendly. Really makes you feel comfortable and works with you to help you pick out a piercing that would look good on your ear shape (I didn't have a piercing in mind going in). Everything was professionally sterilized and I'm so happy with the final product. Really awesome place and worth the money to get a high quality piercing! I'm definitely going back to get another soon.

Yanou Ramon

I had the BEST experience at red baron ink yesterday. Everyone who worked there was so friendly and the service/communication was very smooth from the beginning till the end. My tattoo artist was Shamil, he's a great artist and a warm person. He took the time to work on the design I had in mind (even though the tattoo I got was probably very 'simple' and less exciting for him, he understood that it was a big deal for me). He explained everything in the process, and helped me feel very relaxed the entire time I was there. I even really enjoyed it, and it was not painful at all. I really like the tattoo I got - a small sea turtle on my ankle! Also they explained in depth what I need to do for aftercare, which I also like very much. They were very professional. All in all, I highly recommend this shop, and Shamil as the artist!

Gar Doyle

I found @missvampira (Mary) back in April and I am SO thankful I did. She is the best artist I’ve ever had..(I’ve been getting tattoos for years). From her talent - to simply the great person she is, it’s always a good experience. She is professional, she gets back to you right away, she is easy to talk to. Her quality of work is 100/10. She really cares. I get stopped everywhere I go about my tattoos from her, I have nearly an entire sleeve done by her. Which I am so proud to say due to the fact they are beautiful. I highly suggest Mary to anyone who wants tattoos that are made to last!!!! They will look good forever :)

Benno Rosenwald

I have gotten multiple tattoos from Grant at Red Baron Ink. Each experience has been a blast not only are all of the artist at the shop incredibly talented but they are all amazing people to spend time with. There is a sense of hanging out with friends while you get your tattoo which makes the experience so much more enjoyable than anywhere else I have gotten a tattoo before. Grant himself is an incredible artist and technician. Each time I come to the shop for an appointment with him, he has translated my idea of what I want as a tattoo into something beautiful. And he is such a gifted tattoo technician.he has a light hand minimizing pain and delivering amazing results that always heal beautifully. I highly recommend all of the artists at Red Baron Ink for your next tattoo.

Cameron Yi

Got my very first ear piercings here with Lauren who’s super sweet and really knows what she’s doing. She’ll talk you through the process and make sure with a mirror the spot it where you want it before the actual piercing. Everything is clean!

Lisa Irizarry

I got a beautiful tattoo from Daisy. She is incredibly talented! I felt very comfortable with her. She translated my vision to an amazing creation. I love my tattoo and I will definitely go back to Daisy in the future!

Yianella Blanco

Dave at Red Baron Ink (@daveganjamie) was so great to work with! I knew I wanted a tattoo of my dog and he captured him and his spirit perfectly. He walked me through every step and the shop was super clean. The whole experience was fantastic--I already have my next appointment with him to touch up an old tattoo!

Julia Zwernemann

Red Baron Ink is easily the best shop I have been to. All of the artists and employees are super friendly and helpful. Whether it is your first tattoo or millionth, they welcome you just the same. It is an all-around awesome atmosphere- great music, lots of laughs and most importantly, clean!! This is my second time working with Grant and I cannot wait to work with him again. Five or six years ago, he did an incredible lion on my forearm that has held up beautifully. People stop me often to admire and inquire about the artist. Recently, Grant reworked a fairly large 15-year-old tattoo on my upper arm that was in desperate need of help. He did a phenomenal job of fixing all of the lines and shading and was thoughtful in his selection of colors. This went from my least favorite tattoo that I tried to cover as often as possible, to my new favorite that I am so proud to wear! I cannot thank Grant and the RBI team enough!

Emily Pegoda

Got a 3rd ear piercing here from Liz! Came in on a promo day and got a great deal on piercing and jewelry. Great selection of beautiful jewelry. Shop was super clean and legit, it was a busy day but was still in and out within a v reasonable time. Liz was AMAZING, very kind and professional. Piercing was fast and sterile. I appreciated that they have saline spray up front as well!

Wilda Del Carmen

syfi was my tattoo artist twice already, will be going back to him. He takes his time listening to your ideas and makes suggestions. He is amazing with his line work and minimalist tattoos. Highly recommend this tattoo artist!

Christina Aristilde

Eric has done 2 cover ups and a regular tattoo for me (so far). He took his time to actually listen to what I wanted and created the cover ups even better than my expectations. I am soooo pleased with the outcome. He also works fast and has a wonderful personality. I highly recommend Eric.

Christine Gutierrez

Xavier was truly phenomenal! Super patient, kind and professional. He goes step by step with the after care instructions. I always come back to him for all of my piercings.

Felipe Martinez

Had a great experience from start to finish at RBI. The whole staff was kind and helpful, the shop clean and well put together and my tattoo artist, Joanna, was the best. She had the design ready to go and was kind and patient as I went through my options. Final work came out amazing as well and overall super happy with my experience and tattoo.

Mario Aguiar

Extremely nice staff, very clean workspace, all tattoo artists are really talented, and explain everything clearly. I definitely recommend getting a tattoo from here. My tattoo artist was Shamil and he did an amazing job. He was very professional, respectful, and gave me some great ideas to incorporate into my tattoo.

Justin Roslak

The shop is very clean and I felt very comfortable there. Everyone is super kind and professional. Shamil did an excellent job and paid outstanding attention to detail on my tattoo. He talked me through the process and made sure I was doing alright. Couldn’t be more pleased with the result. I highly recommend Shamil and this shop if you’re thinking about getting tatted.

E Viner

Shamil did such a beautiful tattoo on me! He was very easy to talk to and very helpful/informative on picking the tattoo, placement, and aftercare. I highly recommend him for anyone wanting any work done!!

Emily Abreu

I had the pleasure of getting tattoo’d by Joanna and I will definitely return! This was my first time at the shop itself, and it had a great atmosphere! Super clean, and everyone was friendly. Joanna herself was so sweet and so goddam talented!! She brought my vision to life, and it was literally perfect. I recommend this spot to everyone. You can tell it is filled with professionals who take their work very seriously. I wanted to get a simple compass, with my families initials and their birth month flowers surrounding it and Joanna delivered!!

Miss Vampira

I got tattooed by Grant and it is by far my favorite tattoo and experience. I gave Grant complete control on the design and I was blown away, all I said was the character I wanted (David from The Lost Boys) and the rest I left in his hands. If you get a tattoo from Him, I highly suggest doing the same. The result was incredible! I also was relaxed and had 5 star service the entire time. I highly recommend getting tattooed by Grant and visiting Red Baron!

Alicia Riegel

This place is superior for tattoos. I had a complex and a bit zany idea for a full sleeve. I made an appointment with Grant, after reviewing the design we both agreed that another artist would be better matched for my vision. Can you believe it? An artist that is okay with passing on a job because they understood their style. I love this place. I had my first session with Eric, I was a bit worried that my idea was out of the spectrum but I almost cried happy tears when I saw his design, it was PERFECT! I have two more sessions but I know the final product is going to be epic and last through my crazy life. The email system for booking sessions is extremely responsive. The scheduling is good for post-COVID times. Very clean. They are reasonably priced-although you should never base your tattoo artist off of price, that is ink on your forever! The owner Grant is very personable and accessible. I like this place so much my significant other just booked their next appointment in October!

Vincent Jacobucci

Great shop, staff, and artists. I was looking for a cover up of a fairly large tattoo on my upper arm and came in to meet with Eric after he did a tattoo for my wife. I worked with him to spitball some ideas on how to handle it and come up with a final design. He recommended packing white ink over it first to skip out on laser removal, which lightened it up enough to get the new design over the old. It took quite a few sessions after that to get all the detail in, but I couldn't be happier with the result. Eric's attention to detail was over the top and he was extremely precise with his needle. My only criticism was that the tattoo went a bit over his initial estimates of time/budget, but it was most definitely worth it to get the final result.

Alex Veras

A special shout-out to Shamil for always being a 10/10 artist; definitely becoming a regular at the shop.

Liliane Azevedo

Just got my nose pierced and I love it! This place is super clean and Lauren was great! She explained the process and made me feel really at ease, considering I was super nervous. I’ll be back for my next piercing!

Zachary Zain

I got a tattoo done by Eric and I could not have been happier with the result. I asked for something very specific and even brought my own sketch and Eric took what I gave him and brought it to life. Eric was very professional in making sure the post-managment of the tattoo was done right and also very relaxed when doing the tattoo itself making me feel comfortable. This was my very first tattoo and I know if I ever choose to get another one it will be at Red Baron with Eric!

DANIELLE BARTLETT

Lauren was amazing! Walked me through everything and was great to chat with. Piercing looks great!

Oriana Mansur

I got a small fine line tattoo from Red Baron and I'm so happy with the results! The artist put in a lot of detail and care into the tattoo, healing was easy, Alex took great photos

Katherine Washington

Got a walk-in septum service today and it was the best experience. Xavier took excellent care of me and my friend, and Adam kept the good vibes flowing with a fire playlist. Highly recommend!

Yuanhao Zhang

Got my first tattoo here. Clean space and nice vibe. Huge thanks to Alex for the photos, it was such a great experience with him! Definitely coming back again!

Liv Miller

Such an incredible experience from the moment I walked into the shop from the moment my tattoo was done. My artist, Joey Perez, is a genius! He did a beautiful color realism piece on me and I couldn't be happier with it. You can really tell that he's passionate about his art and will go out of his way to make sure that you're 110% satisfied and at ease. He even stayed past closing time to make sure he could finish every detail; that honestly meant so much to me. Everyone was so professional and friendly and I felt welcome the whole time! Also, the shop was clean and smelled nice too. I'll definitely be returning. Thanks so much, RBI!

Robert Stanton

Mary (@missvampira) did my first tattoo, and it's gorgeous. Long a fan of Giulietta Masina, especially in "Nights of Cabiria," I'd wanted an image of her, but was afraid no one could capture her. Mary's witty, super-stylized black work tattoos of pop culture figures caught my attention--I love her aesthetic--and the design she created from a still from the movie is mysterious, powerful, and sexy. Mary is also a delight to work with throughout the process--from corresponding about design to scheduling, working out the fine details, time on the table, and guidance through aftercare. I feel fortunate that the universe brought us together!

Jerson Sanchez

Joanna was great and did an amazing job! The owner and crew are very friendly people. Very clean space. I’m looking forward to coming back for my next tattoo.

Trish Johnson

I brought my daughter in for her 10th birthday to have her ears pierced. She was nervous and Xavier was patient, kind, professional and made the experience so much easier for her! He also reopened my second holes and gave me a cartilage piercing. He was very accommodating and I am so appreciative of his skill and professionalism. I highly recommend RBI and Xavier!

Jake Fosse

I had the pleasure of starting this awesome sleeve with Joanna, she was amazing to work with and caught every aspect of what I wanted. This was by far the best tattoo experience I’ve had, from Joanna to everyone in the shop they really make it feel like a home away from home

Erica theredhead

Love Red Baron Ink! I've gotten two tattoos there, and had a great experience. The shop is clean and intimate, and the artists are great. I worked with Sue both times and she gave me such clean designs, which healed very well. She is super cool, and put me at ease since these are my first two tattoos. Definitely, give this shop a call for your next piece!

Cameron

I went here for a flash sale a month ago and got a beautiful tattoo from Juan. The shop was very clean and comfortable and all the artists seemed very friendly and were professional. Juan and the other artists looked out for their clients' needs and comfort. I am in love with the piece Juan did and the vibe of this shop. 100% would recommend and I definitely will be returning some day.

Paula Del Valle Torres

I got my nose pierced by Lauren and she was great! Love how it turned out and love how patient and nice she was. The location was also really cool and the whole process was efficient and thorough.

Hoa June

I had done my tattoo by Shamil. It was an amazing experience. He are talented and really good with his work. His design is pretty good, and all the details is on point. I highly recommend if you are looking for details and meaningful tattoos. The stores bring positive vibe, people are friendly. You should go check his IG : syfi_tattoos.

Timmy Kerrigan

What an incredible experience! From the actual aesthetic of the store, to their inventory, friendly staff ((and a really hot photographer I think his name is alex?)) I will only be coming here for my future piercings!

Adriana Haddad

Got my first tattoo here and i couldn’t have had a better first experience. They help point you to which artist is the best suite for your piece and they walked through the whole process with you :) I was tattooed by Shamil and he did a great job i with his line work and was very detailed oriented

Cara Wilson

I followed RBI and a couple of their artists on social media on the recommendation of a friend. Once I saw @missvampira's rad art style and passion for pop culture I knew I needed my next tattoo from her. The shop is super nice and Mary did a fantastic job with my tattoo for a really reasonable rateI had such a good experience I booked a second tattoo with her almost right away!

Taryn Brooke

Awesome place - clean, professional, and just an overall excellent experience. My tattoo artist, Dave (@daveganjamie), spent so much time with me to make sure that my tattoo would come out perfect. Amazing artist and professional - I can't wait to go back. Highly recommended!

KAREEM Martin

I have gotten three tattoos from Mary. She very professional & she very cool to talk to. She tell you the step by step to make sure your tattoo heals well. I will definitely go back to her again. Her IG is missvampira if you want to check out her stuff

Jared Ide

Walked in not knowing I was going to get a tattoo, and a quick chat with Daisy and we were off.....she took a photo I sent her and recreated it with impeccable detail. Thanks!

Syameeze Katt

This place is so dope! From the welcoming staff to the ambiance. I got my septum redone by Xavier and this was by far the smoothest pain free experience ever! I will definitely be back for more! I totally recommend this place and it was totally worth the trip downtown.

David Lacle

Best tattoo experience I’ve had and only place I will be going from now on when I’m in New York! Got amazing photos by their in house photographer Alex which made the experience that much more special 10/10!!!

Samantha Pepia

Started getting tattooed by Mary about 6 months ago. All the artists at this shop are extremely friendly, it’s super clean, and they play some great music. Scheduling is quick and the artists are punctual. Quality tattoo’s and service along with it. You also have the option to pay cash or card!

Kaliyah Duvivier

the employees are very nice and kind. my piercer (the one who pierced my ears) Xavier helped me calm down through the process as well give steps and instructions on how to clean my piercing.

Aunt Teefa (Hoodrow Trillson)

Great experience getting my first tattoo. The entire staff was incredibly cool, welcoming, and supportive. You can tell they love their customers and their work. Grant Lubbock has built an incredible team and his vision and work ethic saturates the place. I was a little intimidated getting my first tattoo, but Grant was easy to work with, helping me communicate my vision while applying his professional expertise and experience to bringing the most out of it and giving me a beautiful tattoo. Thank you so much to everyone at Red Baron Ink, I can't wait to come back!

Yvonne Bhuiyan

I love the staff at Red Baron ink! Everyone is friendly and welcoming! I have gotten 8 piercings here within 2 years and every time I go they have a great selection of high quality jewelry! Hello I like yellow gold because I like the bling. The shop is also very clean and sterilize all their equipment before a client gets pierced including the chairs and the jewelry itself. They’ve been taking very good precautions for Covid by taking everyone’s temperature and having people wash up. Do no hesitate to come here you won’t be disappointed. I was terrible at healing piercings and ever since I came here all my piercing have healed wonderfully.

Mac Millan

Xavier was really cool, ended up getting 3 piercings on a whim. Way more attentive and careful than most piercers I've had, totally going back next time I want another

joy hoang

Remember: You get what you pay for! I am definitely willing to shell out extra cash for the excellent service that RBI provides and supporting their amazing studio (I’ve gotten $40 piercings done in the past, they were’t terrible but the experiences were not exactly stellar). I got my septum done by Liz in July and she is amazing! She helped me feel at ease and made sure to walk me through all steps of the piercing process as well as answer any questions I happened to have. The studio and workspace are all very clean, not to mention they were very good at keeping everything sanitized and adhering to COVID regulations. Definitely would return in the future for some more piercings or tattoos!

Lindsay Amherst

I was looking for the best script artists, and I came across Matt Kong and was incredibly impressed by his delicate line work. I would have flown across the country for the perfect piece, but thankfully I was only a 3.5hr drive away. When I reached out for a consult, I received a reply within 24 hours, and from that point on shop manager Adam assisted with everything from a distance flawlessly. The day I arrived I found a clean shop with an amazing atmosphere, and icing on the cake - they have incredible jewelry for piercings. Matt Kong was 100% ready with exactly what I had sent over previously. He then took the time to ensure the size and placement were perfect. I left with an absolutely flawless tattoo. If you are looking for fine line perfection - Matt K is your guy.

Aleks Gejdel

I got a tattoo here with Miko nearly 3 years ago, and my tattoo is just as vibrant now as it was that day! Super professional shop and artist. There’s a manner of expertise, yet it’s simultaneously laid back— putting you at ease during your experience here. Everything was incredibly clean. Both the tools and inks used were high quality, and I had absolutely no issues with the healing process. Furthermore, Miko was able to beautifully accommodate my request despite the vague description and limited reference I provided her with. Very patient and precise artist! Would highly recommend to anyone, whether it’s your first tattoo or your hundredth.

Daniel Gutierrez

Xavier made the nose piercing process simple and smooth definitely recommend!!

Carla

I went to Red Baron Ink (@RBITATTOO on Instgram) and got tattoo that day with the lovely Mary (@missvampira in Instagram) and once I got there it was like they already were expecting me, which made my process so fast, specially Mary who was stoked when she saw me (I was excited too). My experience while getting tattoed from her, because we talked so much! She makes you feel comfortable and she is so sweet and caring! I would definitely would get tattoed by her again in a heartbeat!

Sharland Johnson

Great little studio. Place is clean and well kept. Went to get my ears pierced after making an easy appointment online. Staff was warm and very professional. Would definitely go back.

Naomi Monroe

Xavier was so professional and courteous as he helped me replace some body jewelry. The whole shop was friendly and inviting. They are happy to answer questions and take hygiene and safety seriously! I will be back.

Mia Sims

I would highly recommend. I got 2 piercings and some new jewelry for some old ones and my experience was great. Xavier ( my piercer) was amazing. He was informative, attentive, gentle and included some cool conversation. Bonus the receptionist was awesome as well! Thanks to everyone I interacted with!

Annie Yuan

Mary (@missvampira) is an absolute gem. She did an incredible job with my pineapple tattoo, but I strongly recommend booking her for a portrait - she’s done several of them for friends and they’ve all turned out beautifully. Can’t recommend her enough!

Abby Ellis

The staff at Red Baron were so professional and kind. Xavier walked me through every step of the process calmly and clearly which put me at such ease. Thank you so much for an incredible experience for my first nose piercing!

BigmoDaco

I tried to schedule a nose ring piercing on my wife's birthday, Jan 13th, but they were booked, I called and because it couldn't happen on her bday, they gave me 15% off on the following day. Xavier made her belated Bday by being the BEST Piercing Tech, a consummate professional. The Shop is Outstanding times ten. JUST GO !!!!!!!!!!

Sarah Sickles

A clean and fun place to spend a couple hours getting an original tattoo! Mary is THE BEST and my tattoo is healing better any piece I’ve gotten anywhere with a ton of black work.

Elizabeth Bedley

Lauren is the absolute best! So welcoming and very knowledgable about piercings. Also very sanitary and quick, 10/10 recommend! :)

Mal Zacharia

I’ve been tattooed by both Delvirus and Daisylutattoo at Red Barron. Insanely skilled artists. Clean as hell. Gorgeous work and great conversation. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Ce'Annda Brown

Soon as you walked in you felt clean and also very welcomed. I must say being from Bermuda you don't have much of options with tattoos so when I came to the Red Baron Ink tattoo parlor, I was beyond impressed. First tattoo to be done by someone who's not local from my island. My tattoo by the way is healing very good and I'm getting a lot of positive feedback. I definitely would be coming back for another tattoo and just the staff's kindness. Omg each one was so cool and down to earth. Love it. Besides the tattoo work, definitely the staff is what makes you come back. Thank you guys and I humbly appreciate the service. Oh and shout out to Erik as well for making me feel relaxed, plus he definitely kept my vision with my tattoo. You're awesome my guy! All the way from Bermuda!

Danielle “Ellie” Mageros

Eric is an amazing tattoo artist! I'm so happy with the work he's doing for me. I'm getting a cover-up, an old quote on my ribs needed to go. Eric designed an octopus, flowers, and fruit to get rid of my unwanted ink. I'm so excited, it's turning out so well! Healing up nicely too.

Matthew Stringer

Awesome space! The staff are very professional and clearly value their customers. Had a great experience working with Alex (in-house photographer). Cant wait to come back again.

Sarah Hedley

I recently got 11+ hours of a sleeve done by Grant! He's an amazing artist, and my tattoos are so solid and look INCREDIBLE I'm so stoked about them. The colors are super smooth and really compliment each other, the lines are clean and the overall design he whipped up in a day and is more than I could've asked for. The other artists there were really friendly and helpful and were also doing some really nice looking work. I doubt I'll go anywhere else after finding this shop truly great artists that really cared for the work they were doing and who the work was done for. It was a great experience and you should definitely check them out if you're looking to get some amazing quality work done.

Christie Choi

Had a wonderful experience with Xavier for a tragus piercing today. He is super calming and made the process so easy. Thank you!

Hannah Myers

These guys are lovely, down to earth, and professional. I came in with a fairly impulsive idea and Shamil took the time to work with me and find the perfect design. His grounded demeanor and keen attention to detail are fantastic and I plan to be a returning client!

AJ Sky

Shamil was my tattoo artist. We scheduled the session 2 weeks away and collaborated on a design I loved over the phone. He was really helpful and attentive. I walked away with gave a memorable piece. I'd totally visit again!

Edson Gonzalez

Been following yalls Instagram page for some time now. Now only are the tattoos epic, but Alex plays a huge role in how sick these tattoos look on the social media. Huge fan of yalls online presence

kaitlin kline

Red Baron Ink is my favorite! The artist are SO talented and friendly. LOVED the professional pictures taken by alex!! such a good experience.

Steph Huang

Hands down the best tattooing experience I've ever had. Grant and the rest of the shop are all super nice and I'm so stoked about my tattoo. Everything healed really smoothly and I have gotten so many compliments on it. I was hesitant to navigate the city because I'm terrible with directions but I'm so glad I did, and I would do it all over again (wasn't that bad). Would not be surprised if I had him do my upper arm in the future. Awesome shop, awesome people, and really high quality work. I think I recommended him/his shop to at least 5 people on my way home because people kept stopping me. But seriously I cannot say enough good things about this shop.

Jen Cohen

Had a fabulous experience at Red Baron Ink - shop was super clean & staff were friendly, especially Alex who provided photos of my tattoo following my session 10/10

Thalia Guest

Thank you to the entire RBI family for your hospitality today & a special shout out to Alex for keeping me at ease during my entire session. Quality service & results from this team - you’ll be seeing me again soon!

Charline Paulino

Xavier was very professional and kind . He demonstrated in detail how to clean my piercing. He did not rush the process and made me feel as if i knew him forever ! Def going back for more services ! Thank you Xavier G!

Victoria Anne Posey

The people here are so nice and professional! I had Shamil custom deisign a tattoo for me and he absolutely exceeded my expectations! I am so impressed with him and all of the other artists here!

Tyler Payne

This was no doubt the best and most smooth tattoo experience I've had. I spent a lot of time researching tattoo places in NYC and reached out to a few, but Red Baron was by far the most responsive and helpful in the process. I ended up getting my chest tattooed in two sessions by Jef and I couldn't be happier with it. He showed a lot of enthusiasm and had an awesome design ready to go by the day I showed up to the shop. The execution was superb and I had two friends immediately book with him for the following weekend because they were so impressed. I also plan on going back at the first opportunity to have him add more to my chest as well. The atmosphere in the shop is extremely easy going and I enjoyed being able to talk with the crew while getting tattooed. without a doubt, if I have the chance to get more tattoos, I'll be sure to go to Red Baron and Jef again.

Vivian Evans

Such an awesome place! If you're thinking about getting a tattoo this is definitely the place you should go without a doubt. The atmosphere is amazing and the staff is just phenomenal. Everyone there is so talented so you're going to get a really good tattoo no matter who your artist is. I had mine done by Kong for my first tattoo and love it so much. I will be coming back for sure!

Elsie Devey

I got pierced by Lauren! They were very friendly and did a great job with my forward helix. Definitely recommend.

Francesca Zecchinato

I would definitely recommend this shop! The crew is extremely talented and you'll find a fav style for sure! I've been tattooed by Janice and I'm nothing but happy with her amazing piece, that is even better than what I expected! She is precise, professional and friendly! Giselle deals with the communication and scheduling and she is super nice, accommodating and it's a pleasure to talk to her! I also found the price pretty fair given the high quality of the final result!

Dane J

I highly recommend get tattooed by MissVampira (mary) for blackwork / black and grey portraits and Grant Lubbock for color. They are both extremely professional and insanely talented. The shop is also super clean and it’s always a blast to get tattooed there. Miss vampira has done majority of my black and grey work and she kills it every time. Grant is my new go to for color work. Can’t recommend these two beasts enough.

GT

By far the best tattoo experience I've ever had. Grant (The Baron) is one of the most professional, laid-back and all around friendliest tattoo artists I've ever met. I won a contest via Instagram back in February 2015 for a palm sized piece. Upon walking in, Grant notified me he wanted to do a larger piece on me due to having larger, muscular arms. I gladly agreed and we went underway. Almost 4 hours later, the finished result was unlike anything I was expecting. I was more than pleased with the quality, craftsmanship and design of the tattoo. I would highly recommend anyone to Red Baron Ink. Best atmosphere, friendly staff and overall enjoyable experience! 5/5 stars, without a doubt in my mind!

Elliot Bisesto

I got a tattoo from Shamil here. He was professional, organized, friendly and gave me an awesome tattoo. This place is really clean and everyone is nothing but friendly here. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Christine M

Liz was so helpful when I went in for advice about an irritated piercing (that was done elsewhere). She answered all my questions and put me at ease. Very patient and informative and professional. I will definitely come back here next time I get pierced

Michelle Hernandez

Had an awesome tattoo done with Sue. She’s awesome and super talented! Sue listened to everything I wanted and took her time with the design. My father passed away recently and Giselle was so sweet and kind to me. That meant a lot to me. Everyone at Red Baron made me feel at home. They’re all great! Thank you all! I will definitely be back for another tattoo with Sue!

Stacey Gallegos

I found Red Baron searching for a watercolor tattoo artist. I'm glad I found it because it was the best decision I made. I met Gisselle to book my appointment; she was so professional and it was so comforting to talk to her. When I got there I finally met the whole crew. Laura was pleasant to work with and I got an amazing tattoo! Grant has the sickest cleanest lines and I will be coming back! 😉 now I'm 4 tattoos in with Red Baron and I'm looking forward to many more! Thanks guys for everything!

Michelle Awad

So much to say about Red Baron! I love love love this place so much! They were beyond nice and welcoming. They definitely made my 18th birthday one I’ll remember forever! I’m 100% planning on going back for some more piercings. If you’re looking for somewhere to get a piercing or tattoo this is the place to go! Super sweet, cool and fast! You won’t regret it.

jaron

Mary (@missvampira) did an incredible job! She absolutely nailed my idea and captured exactly what I was looking for. I was looking for the right artist for the style I had in mind for a long time and I traveled from Vancouver, Canada just to see Mary. It was well worth the trip and I'm in love with it. Thank you Mary!

Arthur B

I came here for my first tattoo and the entire experience was incredible. Sue is a fantastic artist, she turned a general idea into a work of art. Everyone in the shop was so welcoming and friendly I almost didn't want the session to end. I'll definitely be coming back for more. If you're considering coming here for a tattoo, stop considering and book an appointment.

Erik

One of the cleanest tattoo shops that i have ever been to. The sanitizing process before and after my tattoo was very thorough. Staff is great and provide awesome conversation. For black/gray tribal work, I recommend Jef Q. He's developed his own unique style. If you're looking for a one of a kind tribal tat, he's your guy.

Daniel Benoit

Got a cover up done a month and a half ago by Jef V. Scheduling went far easier than I anticipated, as I'm someone out of state. The shop was super clean, tools seemed very well kept, and it was made a point to clean surfaces, and clean them again. Everyone I spoke to was super friendly and welcoming. The day of the tattoo I could feel the camaraderie between artists Grant and Jef, and the receptionist Giselle. During the time I was there not once did I feel unwelcome as I was invited into the conversation between artists, and another client, as well as being checked in on often. Will definitely be back to add onto my piece as well as future designs. Thanks again everyone!

Frank K

What can I say about RBI. Felt like I was part of the family. Treated that way as well. Communication is outstanding, Giselle responds very quickly and is super cool to deal with. Then I went to the shop and met my man Grant, came up with an Awesome idea for a double cover-up on my right forearm. 3 sessions later and a lot of GREAT TATTOOING and an OUTSTANDING piece of art. The entire Crew is incredible and whomever the artist is that you choose at the shop. You will be extremely happy.

Thomas Meyer

Had a session with Shamil for a tattoo. He absolutely nailed and exceeded everything I had planned for my piece. Will definitely be returning for his services.

Joseph Sheets

I got my tattoo done by Erick. He was very polite, professional, and was very attentive. He answered all my questions and provided excellent customer service. My tattoo came out awesome and I would highly recommend anyone go to Erick and the staff at Red Baron for all their tattoo needs.

Elvis Nelson

I had an amazing experience with my piercing. Adam the shop manager was great at explaining everything. Elizabeth was amazing!!! Everyone was very personable. I appreciate how clean and sanitary they were. I’d highly recommend and I look forward to coming back!

Eric

All extremely talented artist. I've gotten my first tattoo by Grant. He did such an amazing job, clean line, awesome shading and made the experience super fun. Sharing crazy funny stories which helped the 2 hour piece fly by. Suranghee (Sue for short) She recently did a piece for me. She was very patient with me. I love how clean her work looks. I got line work done from her and I was pleased with it. She did exactly what I wanted done. Took her time setting up making sure the peace was good to go and when it she got started she was quick and efficient. I'm going to make another appointment with her very soon

Caroline Traynor

I had an amazing experience with Xavier getting a nose piercing. He was extremely friendly, efficient and the entire process was painless and clean.

Mary Corrigan

I got a tattoo with Mary and I couldn't be happier! It looks amazing and is so well done. The shop is very clean, and they've taken great care to make sure you have a great experience.

Rachel Torres

If you're looking for a shop that is versatile in tattoo styles, is welcoming and comfortable while still maintaining professionalism, Red Baron Ink is the place to go!! I have worked with Grant since the earlier days of RBI and have never been disappointed. I can't say I've ever developed such a close bond with any other artists I've worked with. Not only is he an extremely talented and a well-rounded artist, but he also is very receptible to the clients ideas and works his hardest to help you achieve your vision for what you want your piece to become. That being said, he also is very experienced and will not hesitate to speak up and suggest better ways to bring your idea to life if necessary which is essential for leaving with a piece you are beyond satisfied with. Words cannot describe how much I trust and value his insight. Red Baron Ink has expanded plenty over the years and have brought insanely talented, top tier artists on board the team. I have had the pleasure of meeting with most of them. Grant has given blooming artists as well as established ones a platform to showcase their talents and have made SO many people happy in the process. I CAN SAY WITH CONFIDENCE, you will walk out of RBI feeling overjoyed with the work they have produced for you. And you get to rock it for life! BE WARNED! You will be approached and complemented by strangers on a regular basis!

Sebastian Lauterbach

I found Laura and RBI online and booked an appointment thru Giselle who was both kind, professional and very service minded. Finally arriving at the studio I was pleasantly surprised to find it cosy, clean and tidy. Giselle, Laura and Grant was so fantastic and welcoming. Laura and me started talking about my tattoo and while she was working on it we hanged out and chatted. When Laura was finished with the design we started the sitting and five hours later I had the best tattoo I could wish for. Laura is an incredible artist and her work is impeccable! I spent seven hours in total at the shop and it was the best day ever. I'd love to come back for more and if I ever get the chance I will. Love you guys!!! Thanks for making me and my family feel so welcome!

thyra bielfeldt

I had an amazing experience here my artist was very good, he took is his time and made sure I was doing alright. His work is incredible and my idea came out just the way I hoped it to. No problems at all go follow him on IG to see his work if interested: @daveganjamie

Dontai O'Brien

(M, 28) Service: Piercing I had such a pleasurable experience for a last minute appointment. Liz made the experience very friendly and enjoyable. I definitely plan to return very soon.

Valeria Rivera

Have been getting tattoos from this shop since 2016. I am always ecstatic with the results, no matter who I'm working with. I will be returning for every future tattoo as well.

Ana Cecilia Barrera

Today was a great day! Red Baron is exactly what everyone on here says and more! Friendly, Inviting, Professional and Clean. The work is amazing! We saw Jio and are in love with his work, he is so creative and loves his craft. Love love love.. don't think we will ever go anywhere else. Thank you guys!!! Can't wait to see you again! Oh and they are animal friendly and have the cutest water fountain out front for the neighborhood dogs. They invited us to an event where they are tattooing and donating proceeds to the aspca ! So cool!!! If you want a dope tattoo please just go to Red Baron. :)

Rose Santana

Amazing tattoo experience with Sam last week! She was so sweet and worked quick too! I got an open book and she helped me nail down a good design. I was super happy when I left and am already planning to come back here for my next tattoo!

Merissa Millan

From the phone call making the appointment I received excellent customer service. When I walked in I was immediately greeted by Adam. I was assisted in figuring out what jewelry to purchase for my septum and nostril piercings. Elizabeth was amazing and delightful. The place was very clean. They made me feel very comfortable and were very informative. Elizabeth took her time to make sure that I was pierced properly. I have an amazing experience and definitely recommend Red Baron Ink West. I look forward to returning to get some ink done!

Lucy Perez

So the tattoo artist by the name Joey is a tip top Artist, truly one of the BEST. This shop has such a welcoming aura. Very clean and professional. My artist, Joey, is an amazing talent artist and a really cool dude as well. Check out his IG @tattoosbyJoeyp this was my 5th tattoo I spent some time following him & his amazing work of course. I feel confident every time going to see him. Although he travels & he’s always at a conventions reaching out to him never seems to affect his busy schedule, but Joey is always pretty quick with the response time and very easy to work with. Not to mention, well worth the wait. I was very excited going in, everyone was really calm and cool in the shop. Great vibes in there. Extremely cool staff, very clean, well organized and amazing place. The tattoo in itself... (Priceless) Joey line work is so precise and the end of the tattoo was exactly what I had looked forward too. Price wise exactly what I was looking For! I'm already looking forward to my next session w/ Joey at Red Baron Ink. See for yourself, promise you will not be disappointed.

Zully Ferreira

Great environment. People are very nice, specially Alex, the photographer is really cool. I recommend this place 100%

Eli Bucsko

I had a great experience at Red Baron, really happy with their work. Especially impressed by the excellent customer service Alex provided. Would highly recommend.

Diana Rodriguez

Had the absolute BEST experience in Red Baron Ink! They are so clean and makes sure everyone is safe and sanitized. You walk in and feel so welcomed and taken care of! The shop looks so cool! All the artists have so much talent and are very professional. Great place to get a tattoo or piercing. Can’t wait to go back!

Karissa Leifken

I've gone to Red Baron Ink three separate times, two of them for my biggest tattoos (done by Grant) and one small one (done by Sue). My experiences with both artists as well as the entire staff at Red Baron Ink has been nothing short of amazing. They put so much passion into their work and it shows in the final product. I am stopped AT LEAST 1x per day and complimented on the tattoos I have from RBI. The colors are so incredibly vibrant and the details are phenomenal. I have referred multiple people to Red Baron Ink and continue to do so. Can't say enough good things about this shop!!

Brien Darcy

Amazing piercer who cares about his customers. Extremely clean place, crazy nice workers, and amazing jewelry. Would definitely recommend to any of my friends or family!!

T Steifman

Had my first tattoo done my Shamil and it was an amazing experience! Great shop & amazing staff! Would definitely recommend.

MEGHAN GRADY

I enjoyed my first visit and am looking forward to my next appointment. From start to finish I was made to feel comfortable felt safe and at ease. Every employee greeted me with a smile and welcomed me with open arms. My piercer Liz was very gentle warm and kind. She made sure I was ready for each piercing and that I was not afraid or in pain. She made the experience oddly relaxing and quick. After I was given before and aftercare instructions I had a consult with grant who was also quite friendly and patient. We spoke briefly about my tattoo plans and felt he was very knowledgeable based on our discussion. I look forward to working with him and others in that facility. The shop is clean neatly organized and professional. I arrived earlier than my scheduled appointment time and had very little to no wait time. The location is convenient as well in terms of commute. So that’s also a plus. They are also wonderful at communication. And great at following up with clients via phone or email. I’m happy I found this spot.

Justin Benitez

Just got my second tattoo done by the very talented grant! This guy is AWESOME, on top of his amazing skills as an artist he is a really down to earth guy! Getting a tattoo is an experience in its own but with grant as your artist It brings your experience to a new level. I cannot wait to go back and finish my sleeve up with Grant! Thank you Red Barron Ink and thank you Grant!!

wet ointment

got both my eyebrows vertically pierced this afternoon and had such a great experience! everybody is super nice and the piercings look great. thanks again guys!!

Emilie Allen

I had an amazing tattoo experience at Red Baron. It was super clean and professional and everyone was friendly. My artist, Dave Ganjamie, was such a pro. Really made sure I was happy with the design and placement, and it turned out exactly how I wanted. He explained every part of the process and aftercare, too, so I knew what to expect. Thanks, Dave!

Happi Kaur

Amazing tattoo shop! Miko was awesome, she listened to what I wanted and I couldn't be happier with the result. I've been wanting to get this piece done for so long and am so happy I went with her!! Would definitely recommend checking out their artists (:

Aristo Kazan

My first tattoo experience couldn't have been any better... Nice place with nice people and atmosphere and @missvampira (Mary) did a fantastic job, better than I imagined! Will definitely come back for the next one! Thanks

Nicolette Piroino

Xavier did a great job piercing my nose and went through the aftercare thoroughly. Staff was friendly and overall great experience!

Adam Odsess-Rubin

Lauren pierced my earlobes and did a great job! Very chill and professional. I’d come back.

Ricky Quinney

The coolest spot and they do the best work. Everything always comes out perfect. Loved the pics Alex took too

Iza Dabrowski

My sister and I have been on the search of an artist to do our sister tattoos. When we came across Miko's work, we knew that she would be the one doing our tattoo. First impression: clean, respectful, kind, helpful and delicate. She had the design we wanted predrawn before we came for our appt and with a few minor changes, she gave us the most detailed and beautiful tattoo I could have dreamed of. If you are shocked by the tattoos she posts on social media, just wait until it's on your skin. Absolutely remarkable. Also Giselle was so nice and really helped in the booking process. Sent her and told her exactly what we wanted and where and she forwarded the information to Miko so thank you ladies! 11/10 would recommend. I'm looking forward to my next tattoo from you guys!

Basti S

Just the perfect place to get your tattoo. I got my first tattoo there and the people over there where just cool and insanely talented. Can recommend this place to everyone who wants a masterpiece on their skin. I don’t have anything bad to say at all. I wish those guys nothing but the best and stay the way you are

Derek Rollberg

Thank you, Joey! I felt so at ease and your attention to detail and helping me feel comfortable throughout was the icing on the cake! I will definitely be back to get some coloring soon! Thank you Grant and the Red Baron team for taking care of us today!

Daniela Mendiola

I got a tattoo from @syfi_tattoos he did amazing! It was a simple rose with a lot of line detail. Definitely my favorite tattoo!

LilYokaiTv

I got my first tattoo here mid December by Niiru. I found him through ig, and was a fan of his work. The place is clean and the people friendly. Niiru was able to work in every detail I requested and use his talents to whip up a custom Naruto piece. I’ll be going back soon for more tattoos for sure

Eric Luciano

I have gotten more than a few tattoos from Delvirus and DaisyLu over the years and will continue to do so. This isnt one of your run of the mill shops that bring you in and push you out the door with a mediocre tattoo in a hurry. The care and attention to detail from EVERY artist here is admirable. The focus here doesn't feel like it's about making a quick buck but more so about making art. The shop is super clean, bright and the staff is inviting. You almost feel like you're at a friends house having laughs. 5 stars is too little a rate to give this place in my opinion. Check them out. Delvirus/DaisyLu and RBI crew keep killing it!

Fred Tallarico

Friendly, professional and Welcoming! I could not have "walked in" to a better place for my first Tattoo! Kudo''s & thank you Johnathan; a talented and knowledgeable artist. Red has an excellent Studio!

Drew Oyler

I have gotten 7 tattoos from Red Baron Ink. Sue is the best and the shop is the cleanest and has the most friendly staff. The appointment set up process is easy and they send follow ups well in advance.

Sebastian Sinisterra (CitySeby)

Very professional. Very clean shop no issues at all. Would recommend!!

Chrissy G.

Convenient location. Great atmosphere. Greeted immediately when I walked in. I went for a piercing, they have a nice assortment of jewelry. My piercer was Elizabeth and she helped me with placement of my ear piercings. She explained everything every step of the way. She was professional and funny, made me feel extremely comfortable. She will definitely be my piercer if I do anything else.

nick athanasidy

If you want to get a quality tattoo from talented artists and a friendly staff in a low key, clean, and comftortable environment then come here. For my first one I needed somewhere clean and trustworthy that was able to replicate something specific, and this place was perfect. Was referred here by a friend and would refer anyone here. Also best prices for anywhere around.

Joey D'Alessio

This is my go-to place! All of the artists are incredibly friendly and talented. I've gotten my last three pieces from Juan. He's created incredible pieces and made 6-hour tattoos incredibly easy to sit through. The shop is very clean, they use high-quality ink, and the prices are fair. They really care about their quality and their clients.

Danielle Resto

I came to RBI in July 2014, got a tattoo done by Hira. The shop itself is small, hole in the wall type place, but CLEAN and the friendliest atmosphere I have ever experienced at a shop. My tattoo came out AMAZING. Next to me, Laura was doing a walk in that was free handed and came out excellent. Grant was doing an arm piece on a girl in front of me. QUALITY WORK with every piece. I seriously cannot emphasize that enough -- seriously, their linework, colorwork, everything is KILLER! The shop itself is actually really pretty, with art work up on the walls -- some for sale, even! I am always looking at other shops, and I find myself holding them up to the standard of RBI. Definitely my favorite shop!

Alex Michael

just got pierced by xavier and it was perfect!! i was extremely nervous to get my septum pierced but he talked me through the process and made me feel a lot better. it barely hurt too. couldn’t have had a better experience :’)

Daniel Schur

Xavier was great. Super friendly, took time to explain everything, and helped compensate for my lopsided earlobes haha! Very professional. Will be back

Kyle Trimble

shoutout to Niiru!! He gave me through my first tattoo and I could not be more thrilled with the result. Facilities are clean. Staff is friendly. Overall phenomenal experience. I will definitely be returning!

np723sweety

Wonderful experience from beginning to end. Adam was super helpful with scheduling, planning and offering suggestions about my visit. Ray was amazing. He provided excellent feedback and advice during the consultation. During my actual visit he showed me his ideas and made sure I was happy with the design. The end result was far beyond what I was expecting. My tattoo is absolutely beautiful. The atmosphere in the shop is very welcoming and friendly; yet professional. Glad to have found a shop that's so chill. Looking forward to future projects with RBI & Ray.

Vanessa Bravo

After my tattoo fully healed it started fading. It's only been about 4 weeks since I've gotten it and some parts are a lot darker than others. The people here are really friendly and work with you to make you feel comfortable which makes you feel at ease.

Jordan von Hippel

Got 2 tattoos from Dave — both came out really well and he was a great guy. Would definitely recommend

jessica perez

The artist Kong did my lion tattoo that I’ve been wanting for years and I absolutely love it! So detailed it was a perfect portrait of a lion! Great experience at Red Baron Ink!!!

Denisa Lesan

I had an appointment with Miko on April 5th, 2019. I had been planning this tattoo for more than a year and when I reached the final designing stage. I search far and wide for someone who had the skills set to do such fine line work. Miko took her time and really invested 100% in the process. It's now been a month, it's healed very nicely and as you can see, the color is staying bold and strong! I am so happy with my tattoo and feel honored to have her work on my arm! Thanks Miko! Been recommending you to friends, hopefully a few will stick since they r all here in MD and dread the distance 😅

Leah Voss

Red Baron Ink was recommended to me by friends to have my first tattoos done, however I didn’t know what my own personal experience would be like until I visited the shop myself. It was absolutely amazing! Starting with the customer service, which was exceptionally friendly & welcoming. Gear, the guy who runs the front of the house was transparent regarding rates, assured me that no question was silly & encouraged me to ask whatever questions I needed to ask to feel comfortable & he was not the least bit condescending or intimidating. The artist, Josh who did two tattoos for me, listened to what I wanted, enriched it & made it better then even I had envisioned it could be. He heard me when I expressed the sentimental reason connected to one of the two tattoos I chose to be my first tattoo & totally captured it’s essence. The lines are crisp & clean, the definition superb. Finally, the shop is in pristine condition & all the artists work areas are kept sanitized & well organized. Thank you Red Baron Ink, for an awesome Maiden voyage! I look forward to my next visit. Leah V-

_Axell.moraga axj

Very good experience :)! I tattooed my hand with the tattoo artist grant, he is very professional making me a completely beautiful tattoo! without a doubt a very nice experience. the store is quite nice and very clean, everyone is very friendly and makes for a pretty nice atmosphere. 😊 …

Henry Winnik

I was tattoo'ed by their new artist Dave Ganjamie - the place was very clean and COVID-compliant and had a great vibe throughout (music was on point). My work was done with care and I would def get another one done sometime soon.

Blanca Marmolejo

Blown away by their precautions taken during this new norm of cleanliness. I felt comfortable, and safe in their environment. I will definitely be returning soon .... once I figure out what my next tattoo will be!!!

Elisah Gelladuga

Got a great deal on Groupon for my friends and I's first tattoos and everyone was so nice!!!! My experience was great. Spencer was my tattooist and I'd definitely fly back to NYC just to get tatted up here again.

Visiting from out of town. I found this shop from its awesome Google reviews and their fantastic IG page. I had an idea and Jio turned it to an amazing reality and a tattoo that I’ll cherish forever. I highly recommend Red Baron. The staff was amazing, very clean shop, and a great vibe. Next time I’m in NYC, I will for sure be back! If I could rate it higher, I would!

Alexa Aly

This shop is so clean and welcoming I had the best experience! Front desk was so helpful, and Liz was an amazing piercer, constantly asking if I was doing ok. I couldn’t recommend it more!

Kelly Fink

I have been here a few times now for work and will keep coming back! Followed Jio from a spot in Queens to Manhattan. Always quality work, clean facilities, fair prices, solid people. Would recommend to anyone as they have a strong lineup of artists that can do any style. Love RBI!!!

Mary Binninger

I’ve had 3 tattoos done by Mary, and every single one was a great experience! If you’re looking for quality black work tattoos & spooky flash, definitely hit her up on IG @missvampira 🖤 …

Omer Bar Joseph

Dave did a great job! Really good experience highly recommended

Saurav Silwal

Got a few tattoos by artist Delvirus who can be located at Red Baron Ink NYC. He has developed a cool unique style! Got my first tattoo by Delvirus at Brooklyn. Rest of them at RBInk. The sessions were set up perfectly with cleanliness timing and everything! Great staff at Red Baron Ink. Great customer service Check out Delvirus Instagram for his tattoos and make appointments. You can find Krakos, Cosmic Cactus, Groot some of my tattoos on there. Awesome artwork , the details go crazy

Claudia Zbrzeski

Lauren was great — very experienced and delicate! Didn’t feel a thing! Really enjoyed the experience :) 10/10 recommend

Anna Malisova

Lauren was very knowledgable and patient and made my nose piercing a really calm, quick, and fun experience! Thank you!

Cecilia Zhu

Beautiful and professional tattoo and piercing shop with really nice people. I came here recently for a few ear piercings with Liz. She made me feel super comfortable and safe (hygiene was on point especially during Covid). A lot of great jewelry to choose from, I can’t wait to return!

Grace

Excellent experience!! I got a tattoo from Niiru, and he was so nice! He was very patient and did an amazing job! I definitely recommend if you want an artist who cares and a one of a kind piece!!

Nicole Palma

Highly HIGHLY recommended. I love Red Baron! It's a clean and really spacious shop. Everyone is friendly and really chill. I've gone there for multiple large tattoos and piercings. Everything has healed nicely with no problems. The staff is really responsive; anytime I sent a question about something they responded really quickly. I recommend this place to friends and family all the time.

vanessa rivera

Don’t bother ! To look elsewhere… I have had amazing services here . 1st time I had my daith pierced and Liz was sweet and made me feel comfortable. She helped me pick something I was comfortable with. Explained the after care and I felt well serviced. 2nd time I had 2 dog portraits done by the amazing Mary.. I’m am that crazy dog mom that will fight for her fur babies and Mary exceeded my expectations. She did them justice and words can not express how meaningful this was. Again don’t bother to look elsewhere they have high quality jewelry and the artist in this shop are true artist. Amazing customer service. Definitely I have found my spot .

Celi V

I have gone to RBI on 3 different occasions to get tattooed and have always had a great experience. My most recent tattoo was in July 2020 and all the safety precautions were taken. In addition, my artist, Daisy was very friendly and accommodating. She did an awesome job on making my idea come to life and I am very happy with the whole experience. Would highly recommend.

Alyssa

From the very beginning the experience was amazing. When I sent an initial email, they followed up by the next day and took the time to answer each of my questions. Miko does AMAZING fine line work and she was honest about what would and probably wouldn’t work during the design process. I’ll be back for more!

Miguel Rivera

red baron ink hands down is my favorite tattoo place and legit my friends love this place also . we all were tattooed by the infamous mary her IG is missvampira . she tattooed my friends and i , we all came down to the conclusion she is the best tattoo artist we have ever came across ! she’s professional! she is so kind ! she will help out and give you the tattoo you want ! her work is phenomenal! if you want a tattoo come here cause there’s no better place !

Amanda Human

Red Baron Ink made me feel safe and comfortable during the pandemic by providing a clean and socially distant place. The artists and staff were so incredibly kind and welcoming! I got a tattoo from Mary who, for starting out, did such an incredible job. She brought my design request to life and was such a pro throughout the whole session, making sure to check on me and ensure I was comfortable. I couldn’t recommend Mary and Red Baron Ink enough!

Jessica Bramble

My entire experience here was great. I called beforehand and spoke with the piercer, Shannon, about the nose piercing I wanted and she gave me expert advice. When I came in to get my nose pierced, she made the process as painless as possible. Everyone else at the shop was super nice.

Benjamin Maher

I was a walk-in customer and was immediately greeted with enthusiasm by Shannon. She was extremely professional and walked me through the septum piercing process. I couldn’t be happier with my piercing! She provided detailed aftercare instructions, and I’m thoroughly enjoying and getting compliments on her work! This is the place to go for sure!!!

Nancy Fischetti

Love this place! Have had all my piercings done here, won’t go anywhere else. Shannon is great, very knowledgeable and gives great instructions/advice for care. I had a difficult septum to pierce since it was deviated, but it didn’t hurt at all and healed very well! She is also great with any questions you may have during the healing process. Highly recommended!

Jim M

I found Jef Quintano on a recommendation from Giselle, (thanks Giselle): i was looking for something specific and found Jef after a long search. The shop was spotless and Grant and the rest of the staff were awesome. Got to see a lot of work from the different artists, they are all talented and all of their work is custom. Overall couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Anastasia Troygo

i wasn’t recommended this place nor did i do any research. i was walking by and made an impulsive decision to get a few more ear piercings. i was very comfortable and the piercing is coming along great so far .. let’s just say i wasn’t disappointed ) thanks shannon!

Dana Beydoun

I came in for a spontaneous walk-in and was very warmly welcomed by Joey P! The place is very clean and well organized, staff is amazing, they make you feel at ease and relaxed! Joey was absolutely awesome, and his work is stunning! Best tattoo i’ve ever gotten! Will definitely come back!

Gooey Gator

Xavier at red baron always has the gentlest piercing touch! Made my visit wonderful ♡

Sara Rehart

Came here to get a lobe piercing. Our piercer was very sweet and let us take our time. She was quick, clean, and efficient since between me and my friend we got 4 piercings total. It is a bit pricier but i think you are paying for quality jewelry and good service.

Moicho

I had an amazing time with the scheduling of my appointment. Alex was diligent, detailed and persistent in making my arm band come out straight and clean. In the process he was friendly, and talkative you wont be bored with him or anyone in the staff. I recommend this place 100. Thank you for my tattoo

Perla Rosario

Great experience every time I come by- for both piercings and tattoos, Red Baron Ink is my go to spot. Special shout out to my favorite artist, Joey Perez for his great ideas and beautiful art. Overall- Cool artwork, nice people, clean work space, and conveniently located.

Emily Roney

You would be hard pressed to find a better or kinder piercer than Liz! My friend and I each got a nose piercing yesterday and were happy with the jewelry selection and quality as well as the cleanliness and friendliness of the studio and its staff. I cannot recommend them enough, Liz will have a repeat customer for sure!

Andrew Dowdell

I had a fantastic experience getting my first tattoo at Red Baron Ink and highly recommend them to anyone interested in getting a tattoo. Grant was super easy to work with and did an absolutely amazing job and I've been getting stopped on the street by people complementing the piece

Jeremy Wyatt

The artists at RBI are super talented and everyone there makes sure you’re comfortable. I’m about to go to my third session within 4 months. Highly recommend.

bangelis paula

After years of avoiding getting another tattoo because of previous bad experiences, I finally decided to go to Red Baron ink (west side location) based off work I had seen on their Instagram page. I decided to go to grant and let me just say, he did not disappoint! He made me feel so comfortable, took his time and made everything as painless as a getting a tattoo gets. Amazing shop, very friendly staff and everything was so spot on clean!! Def going back ASAP, as should everyone else!

Saskia Benner

Amazing staff and service! So helpful and accomdating for my first tattoo and mad the whole experiencing easy an incredible. I will 1000% be back

Christopher Arce

I’ve been coming here since 2015 and Grant and the entire staff have always been amazing, super accommodating and the most friendly but still professional. It’s a great shop with super talented artists. Grant has done a few pieces on me and the work is unbelievable! He’s always exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend!

Success School

I had the distinct pleasure of receiving my first tattoo from Juan. He was extremely patient and accommodating as I sorted out the details. I asked a million and ten questions, but he was sure to answer all of them with great detail and reassurance. The space is clean, sterile and the staff is friendly. I also got a piercing from Shannon who is awesome. Both Shannon and Juan were great about giving post care instructions. Thank you guys again for such amazing service. I will be back next time i'm in NY!

Emily S. McBride

Had a great experience getting my nose pierced by Shannon about a week and half ago. Walked right in and got it done. Everything was clean and I felt like I was definitely in good hands. Highly recommend!

David Anderson

Phenomenal This IS the place to go for your work. I have been going to RBI for a couple of years now. Their quality is 2nd to none. They make you feel like family, have the best artists from all over the world, and their work will make YOU stand out.

Kaitlyn Houle

Love this shop ! Staff super friendly and not pretentious. Really comfortable atmosphere. My tattoo by alex is exactly what I wanted. You should definitely go here.

Talia Lilyan

Lauren was amazing, knowledgable and really good at her job. Would get any piercing here!

Ehren

NIIRU. Ever had that stabbing dread of entering a tattoo shop due to the sudden urge of adrenaline coursing through your veins - your body's way of preparing for the possible outcome of a crappy, noncreative tattoo. Well, NOT with NIIRU at Red Barron Ink! Upon being introduced to NIIRU, all of my nerves seemed to subside, as you can immediately tell, NIIRU is not one of those "shady" Tattoo artists. His utmost professional behavior is coupled by the reassurance of his humor, kind, and non-aggressive approach. NIIRU enlightened me of ALL the possible ideas to help me get another tattoo. He tirelessly worked on making sure the tattoo made me HAPPY. I honestly felt that he was looking out for my best interest and that's all that really matters - an act of Altruism that is easy by definition, but difficult to execute. I really hope that you choose NIIRU to help guide you in your next choice of tattoo. You wont regret it!

Katerina Montero

Great clean shop, and super friendly staff. Love my artist Joey Perez, always does great work. Will keep coming back thank you !

Sam McKay

I’ve been to Grant for multiple tattoos. He is always a professional and comes up with amazing designs. I always recommend him and RBI in general for anyone looking for a quality tattoo. Great shop and great people.

La-Verne Parris

Piercer’s Paradise Sun is shining, the weather is sweet Make you want to move, your dancing feet... Bob Marley’s lyrics capture the joy that I felt after receiving my second piercing from Xavier, who is a truly gifted piercer. I felt like skipping and dancing in the street after seeing how lovely my new right conch piercing looked! Xavier skillfully matched my new right conch piercing, with an older left conch piercing that I received years ago at a piercing shop on St. Marks Place. Xavier is a professional and a perfectionist. Before executing the piercing, he took his time to explain the process step by step, fully informing me as to what I could expect. Just knowing what the process entailed set my nervous mind at ease. Xavier’s attention to his customers’ well-being is unparalleled. I have visited other shops for several piercings, where the motto seems to be: “Stick you for your paper!” Xavier’s comforting and informative demeanor is unparalleled and part of the overall respectful and compassionate vibe that Red Baron Ink provides. And Red Baron Ink has the MOST Beautiful and Unique body jewelry on display to get you even more excited about your piercings! -- La-Verne

Daniel Haddad

Incredibly friendly staff, made the whole process as painless as a piercing could possibly be. Nothing but good things to say about this place!

John Keeley

I've gotten 3 pieces from Red Barron Ink and each one came out amazing. I really love this studio and the artists there. Every experience has been super professional, personable, and overall, fun. I highly recommend RBI to anyone looking for original custom tattoo pieces.

Victoria Andino Pavlovsky

Highly recommend this place, I had 3 cartilage piercings done by Shannon and she is awesome, very gentle and you can perceive she has a lot of experience. The indications she gave me for the healing period are working perfectly. Will definitely go back soon for more piercings. Thank you!

Alexander Cheves

Red Baron Ink (West Village) feels familiarly like art school. It’s where the art school nerds went. There is a communal drawing table next to a bookshelf filled with fine art books. I’ve been in many dark, dungeony tattoos shops where artists are more-or-less cordoned off from each other, separated by curtains and barriers and divided by styles. That’s not RBI. They ask each other questions, comment on each other’s work, and foster an open and creative atmosphere that feels very professional. It’s brightly-lit with faux wood paneling walls and a TV in the tiny space that operates as a waiting room, which is sometimes outfitted with vintage PlayStation controllers so guests can play while they wait. I’ve had three tattoos there and plan to get more. Daisy did touch-ups for free and is wonderful to talk to. Szabla is a sharp-eyed, meticulous, talented artist with the honesty you want in someone putting permanent ink in your skin. She’ll tell you if an idea will look bad and will make suggestions. She suggested the ram skull on my chest; it’s now my favorite tattoo. Even though it was excruciating (easily my most painful), I appreciate the fact that she took her time, appraised every line, and never made me feel like I was taking up her time (we did go over time). Everyone is kind, chill, open-minded, and queer or queer-friendly. It’s a great shop for people who may be new to tattooing and for those who value more traditional tattoos — it’s not a purveyor of those delicate micro tats sweeping Manhattan, which don’t survive well on the skin. Instead, they’ll fix your faded fine-line rose with something stellar. Five stars.

Sammi C.

Amazing and knowledgeable staff. They are friendly and will collab with you to make sure your tattoo experience is better than you could imagine. I’ve had four tattoos (and counting) here and since I was recommended by my friend a year ago. The shop is impeccable and they have lots of artwork for you to get inspiration from. One of my favorite things is that you get a one of a kind tattoo here. They will collab with you, put their personal spin on what you’re looking for, but you have an original piece when you walk out the door.

Yinet Zapata

This is a great place to get tattooed!! I wanted a big piece on both sides of my thighs and butt area, but felt hesitant to be buck naked with a stranger. I had been following Joey's work on social media and instantly knew he was the right guy for the job. He is a great artist, flexible and accommodating. I had a great experience with Joey at red baron and I am beyond happy with my tattoo. It turned out better than how I imagined!!

Mark Hassenfratz

Got a tattoo done by Alex Passapera. He was super welcoming and friendly and his work turned out great! Definitely would recommend to anyone looming for a tattoo artist.

Chris Cooper

Just walked out of Red Baron... Huge fan of Joey & Eric. My entire family came for tattoos (ages 25 through 76 years) There were 7 of us. We were treated like family! These guys are the best! For most of us, this was our first...for many of us, it won’t likely be our last. And, I’m coming back to see these guys. Thank you! Chris

E S

Amazing experience today with Vince. Staff super professional, studio clean, minimalist and hygienic. Was my first tattoo and the team made me feel very comfortable and reassured. The fine line work Vince did with single needle is perfect - would highly recommend! Check out their insta, very open to chatting things through to plan what you want.

Miriam Vance

Amazing! They had a really dope deal going for Friday the 13th, friendly staff, organized, and amazing art. After my tattoo with Grant, I immediately booked my next big piece with him. So nice and demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of the art of tattooing. Stoked to get my next piece done with him and so happy with this little cutie

ayesha moran

I am so incredibly happy that I was referred here. First, the scheduling is so accommodating- I had to reschedule multiple times due to personal reasons. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with kindness and professionalism. I had the pleasure of working with Joanna in honoring my grandmothers memory and I could not have asked for a better piece! The atmosphere was awesome and I felt extremely comfortable for having myself exposed throughout the session. Very respectful, kind, caring, amazingly talented people here!

Tiffany Perez

I have gone here twice already this year alone. I’ve gotten not one but now three tattoos by Joey! He is an amazing soul, so genuine and kind. I am one who is quite impulsive with my decisions and have 300 ideas when it comes to things I want. Joey has helped me with all three of my tattoos and helped me bring my ideas together. I am so happy with all my tattoos as I have recommended him countless times and have had 2 people so far come to him! I will never stop coming to Red Baron Ink. The staff is so friendly. You’re ensured to have a laugh while in the process of getting tattooed!

Fardad Sabzevari

One of the best spots in the city to get Ink. Got mine done by Joey Perez, and I couldn’t be happier. The man owns his craft and is a true artist. Will def be back to get more done, big ups to this establishment!

Andre L. Souza

I walked-in wanting to get information about how to get a tattoo (never tattooed before), and walked out with a badass tattoo. They're very professional. The place is clear and organized. Highly recommend!!!!!

Rebecca Bautista

This is the shop to go to for custom tattoo work. Both myself and my fiancé are repeat customers. They even recently expanded. The artists are great and friendly. Again this is the place to go to for custom work. They don't do flash.

Stephen Martino

My only complaint is that I can't afford to come here daily. I originally followed my favorite artist here but have come to love and appreciate all of the work that all of the artists have to offer. You could go in blind and still walk out with an amazing piece

Kyra Browne

Had a great experience here! Szabla did my tattoo and it was an easy and fun experience. Very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. Recommend this place to anyone looking to get a tattoo or piercing.

Mothim Ow

Got a navel piercing by Elizabeth. she was patient with me. I chose a piece of jewelry and after she sterilized it I chose a different one and was really happy. I got a pink marquise cut and it’s so cute! Thank you! 👍🏼 …

Evelyn Minier

Red Baron Ink West is an amazing shop. I got my Nostril re pierced by Shannon Freed, who was incredible. And my friend also got tattooed on the same day. So friendly and extremely CLEAN. Going back for another piercing and tattoo very soon. Love them!

Alexis Laronga

If you are thinking about getting a tattoo, Red Baron Ink is the best of the best. Juan did my first tattoo and I love it. He is reassuring and precise on detail. I would recommend him to anyone. Everyone is welcoming and will make sure that you will fall in love with your tattoo all over again.

Daina Gigliotti - Dozzi - Ripps

Clean shop. Got a piercing there, so I can’t contribute to the tattoo side, but my piercer was so nice and professional. Will definitely send anyone looking for a piercing to her!

Andres “AnOr12” Ortiz

Did a walk in session with Kong and the whole process went smoothly. Tattoo came out better than I hoped for! Definitely recommend

Jeanette

So I never ever write reviews but I just had to shout out JoeyP and Red Baron Ink. I started my leg sleeve with JoeyP and I’m so excited to finish! He was able to translate my words into beautiful art with clean lines and the perfect color combinations for my skin tone. The shop is convenient to get to and it is so clean and comfortable. Definitely going back to finish the rest very soon!

Adriana Jenkins

Szabla was amazing super patient and professional. She did 3 small tattoos for me in one day and I can honestly say I haven’t seen work that looks better than this love her will be coming back !

Becky Field

Joey P was awesome! Great customer service. My tattoo came out really great and his designs are super well done!

Bridget Maas

Absolutely great place! I went in on an impulse to get a piercing, and the piercer Cait was so nice and calming and knowledgeable. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to get so I told her to pick something that complimented my anatomy and the piercings I already have and that was the best decision! She told me what she thought would look the best, and I really liked the idea so that’s what I did. I get really nervous before piercings but talking to her and just chatting while I was looking at jewelry was really calming and everyone I interacted with there was so friendly and nice. As far as the piercing itself, RBI has a ton of options for jewelry to get pierced with which is fantastic. Cait was also a very quick piercing and it was so far the best piercing experience I’ve had out of the five I’ve done. Highly recommend!! My experience here makes me want to come back in a few months once my piercing has healed a bit and get another one just because it was such a great experience!

Jessica Lin

I sat on so many ideas for my future tattoos for over a decade, never able to commit to the big pieces because I couldn’t find a shop or artist I could trust or build a relationship with to ink me with something I’d love for the rest of my life. After a lot of research, I found Red Baron and made my appointment with Grant for two custom large pieces. Grant is so professional, respectful, and incredibly talented. His lines are extremely clean and he puts so much thought into the design of the artwork and how it translates onto skin. I feel so comfortable with him and I have a blast every session. The other artists are also very talented and have wonderfully skilled hands. I’ve also gotten body piercings here by Joey and he was very efficient while making the experience comfortable. You won’t be disappointed going to Red Baron!

Pedro Alves

Long story short - RBI is a top class shop, both clean and professional. My artist, Vince, is an amazing talent and a really cool dude as well. Check out his IG @vcmttt Given this was my first tattoo I spent months doing research, Instagram stocking different artists, etc etc until I found someone I felt confident reaching out to. It took a little over a month to book, given his busy schedule, but Vince was responsive and very easy to work with leading up to our appointment. Not to mention, well worth the wait. I was quite nervous going in, but everyone was really calm and cool in the shop and I quickly felt at ease. Great vibes in there. Extremely friendly staff, very clean, well organized and well-designed space. The tattoo in itself... money! Vince's line work is so precise and the end product is exactly what I had envisioned coming in. After he drew it up we took our time in drafting a few different sizes and shapes until I was 100% certain before we started. Price wise - very fair! (from what I've heard and asked around). I'm already looking forward to my next session w/ Vince at RBI.

Lloynisha. S White

I randomly stopped here on my way to Chelsea Market and got my nose pierced. The owner was very friendly and welcoming, answered all the questions I asked. Most importantly I felt VERY comfortable. I love my piercing, I make sure to clean it 2x daily as recommended. Will I return ?? Hell yea ! Thank you for such an amazing experience. Thank you Joey, my nose is poppin !!! Appreciate you !

Joseph Guida

Shamil did an incredible job on the artwork. If I have an idea for another tattoo I’ll be going back!

Meli Mels

Everyone is very friendly. Artist take the time to help you and make the perfect tattoo for your body. Each of the artists specialize in their own way

Casper MotoVlogs

First I would like to say I have quite a few tattoos before going to RBI for the first time and I can say confidently that I’ve never had such an amazing experience getting a tattoo then I did at RBI. I got the pleasure to work with Grant Lubbock and decided I will dedicate my whole arm and more to his work. He executed exactly what I wanted and left me with a piece of art that I’ve never been more proud to wear out. Not only is he an amazing artist but a real cool dude to talk to as well as the rest of the staff. CANT WAIT FOR MY NEXT SESSION!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Sheri T

Sharon did 2 1/2 lobe piercings the other week.. the half was an old one from high school lol.. she was great! Very professional.. great care info. Took her time to place them exactly where I wanted.. and honestly they’ve barely hurt at all. She gave great advice as to which jewelry would heal the best. She’s great! Highly recommend.

Amanda Labuda

I got my first ever tattoo done by Miko at Red Baron Ink. Walking in, I immediately noticed the cleanliness of the shop and sterile procedure of preparing for the tattoo. Miko prepared a design based on inspiration I sent her, and the design was pretty much spot on for what I wanted. We confirmed color, shading, and position of tattoo, and Miko made me feel comfortable and secure in the process. My tattoo took about 2 hours, and whole time Miko checked in with me to make sure I was comfortable and give me breaks. I had such a great experience here and Miko was truly the best. The piece I got is phenomenal and exceeded my expectations.

Brian Walsh

Recently did a leg sleeve my experience was great. My artist was Alex and he did an absolutely amazing job. I’d definitely go back!

Merante Smith

Got a shoulder to shoulder tattooo with JOSH in red ink... he did an amazing job. Also got it done in less than 2hrs! His lines are clean and his saturation is the best. I will definitely be returning for background fill.

AC Shields

I’d only ever had my ear lobes pierced, so this was my first kinda big piercing that I’ve gotten. I went in on Valentine’s Day and my friends and I got pierced. I got my nose pierced and I was SO nervous. But Shannon and the rest of the staff were so kind and comforting. At no point did they make me feel bad for getting anxious. Shannon asked me multiple times if I was okay before piercing me and walked me through the whole process so I knew exactly what was happening and when. I loved how easy it was to communicate with everyone in the store and if I ever needed another piercing done I would definitely come back.

Lakisha Gonsalves

I’ve been following Red Baron, and my artist Kong for a while, and decided to reach out for my first tattoo. Our communication before my appointment was great, Kong took a symbol that has meant so much to me, and turned it into a design I never would’ve thought up. He made my first tattoo experience so easy, and I’ll definitely be back!

Taylor Bowley

Had a really great experience at RBI West! Came in unsure of what I wanted and after talking to Caitlyn was reassured of both my wants and my worries. The owner was super nice as well, and I will without a doubt come back if/when I want another piercing!

Cailie Skelton

Great shop. Olivia gave me a tattoo that makes me swoony (in a good way, swoony in the best way, I laav how it turned out) and everyone I spoke with was super nice. And I think they were having a stoop sale with proceeds going to Planned Parenthood or something when i was there? Anyway, do recommend.

Samantha Abreu

love this place – very professional, so welcoming, great vibes, and got some amazing photos from Alex 💕 …

B. Kim Taylor

I had my ears re-pierced with Shannon Freed @ Red Baron Ink West + it was a great experience. I highly recommend her!

Joey Karlin

Amazingly clean and safe place with great artists. Was tattooed by Dave (@daveganjamie on Instagram)

Maria Vagelakos

Got my first tattoo ever on 02/16/19 (for my 37th birthday), and let me just say.....Josh is a watercolor tattoo God. Very clean shop! Friendly, professional, and knowledgeable staff...I felt so comfortable! Josh was very informative, drew my piece by hand, didn't rush me, allowed me to move placement of tattoo (till I thought it was perfect), and opened brand new needles in front of me. He listened to my every suggestion and answered all my questions. He is so skillfull that I felt no pain at all, and almost fell asleep on the table. I got a gorgeous, symbolic, no outline , cherry blosom with falling petal....on my collar bone. No scabbing or peeling at all.....I'm in love with this place and highly recommend them to everyone.....Josh is your go to for a tattoo, and I cant wait to get more pieces done! Thank you Josh, I'll never forget my first tattoo, you are a God!

Magdeline Matos

By far the best shop in NYC . I love how friendly and welcoming Everyone Is ! Especially Shannon who helped me save my nose lol ! And I will forever appreciate her ! Red Baron is super clean and the vibe is awesome ! I highly recommend to anyone who needs/ wants anything done ! The only bad thing I have to say is that I wish I would of found this place sooner ! I’m in love 💕 keep up the great up

Dani Valbuena

I went to get a Frida Kahlo piece and I could not be happier! Joey P was super excited to do the piece when I met with him and he was even more excited when actually tattooing me. Joey was incredibly friendly and had a great vibe. His work was impeccable and stunning. I’m constantly getting compliments about how amazing the piece looks. I’m super satisfied with the overall quality with the tattoo as well as with the service. The shop was clean and had a great atmosphere! I will definitely go back!!! Thank you, Joey!

Eileen Minahan

I love Red Baron Ink and @missvampira is the coolest chick! This shop is so clean and professional- highly recommend!

Leena Nasser

Szabla was my artist and she was great. She was fast, accurate and really worked with me to get the design I envisioned. The place had great staff too, very welcoming and nice. Shout out to Szabla! Looks great and I love it!

Chris Melis

Love RBI West! I stopped by the shop back in October or so and got a piece done by Alex P. on my left forearm. Loved it so much I decided to move forward with my sleeve on my right arm. Sitting in the shop for a few hours, I passed the time chatting with Alex, Grant and Shannon. Still in the midst of finishing my sleeve, but will post finished pictures once completed. Definitely check them out!

Steve Bronder

Jovanney did an awesome job! Chill crew overall experience was very positive. And the tat rocks!

chanelle josph

Love this place everyone was nice and very professional. It’s completely clean and sterile . The owner was very helpful and friendly. Would recommend this place to anyone.

Rebecca Reverman

Daisy is so incredibly talented!

Tippy Douglas

Eric is A-MAZ-ING! I had a design in mind that was pretty basic compared the beautiful, intricate work he typically does. But he was super kind, and was able to do exactly what I wanted. Scheduled everything online and Eric had the design ready to go when I got there. I can’t say enough how happy I was with his work and my entire experience!

peter romano

Grant operates and runs one of the top tattoo shops in nyc. Super-friendly, Well informed, Extremely clean and No pressure experience. I have been going to Red Baron for tattoos for a while now, Grant is the man. He has an excellent staff of amazing artists all talented in their only styles and passionate of the craft. If you want to feel welcomed and appreciated as a client this is the shop to go to.

Emily Shareyourvinos

Everything about my experience here was phenomenal. Due to COVID, my original appointment with Miko had to be rescheduled, but man was it worth the wait. Everyone here was extremely accommodating and professional. Even with COVID regulations in place, it's clear cleanliness was a priority before the pandemic. Now for my actual tattoo, Miko had her sketch prepared and was super pleasant to work with. The work she produces is amazing, and I'm so happy with how my piece turned out. It's truly better than I imagined it from paper and would recommend working with this talented and sweet artist to anyone!

Kai McCoy

I had a great experience getting my first tattoo here!

Jaclyn Hall

Amazing experience with Grant Lubbock at RBI! Clean shop, great consult, amazing artist. Will be going back for more work!

My experience with Red Baron ink has always been a good one. Artists are excited and willing to work with your ideas. Everyone is knowledgable and friendly. All artists encourage one another and are genuinely excited with a piece they've worked with you on comes out as intended. There's a real drive to be better at the craft with each tattoo and with that every session becomes a showcase of passion. The talent of each artist is undeniable. Altogether it makes Red Baron Ink one of the best places to go to see your dream piece realized.

My wife and I went to the 21st annual Philadelphia Tattoo Convention. It was our first large convention and I messaged Alex Passapera on IG letting him know which pieces we were interested in. He was extremely helpful and friendly throughout the whole experience. We were his last two clients of the first night of the convention and I didn’t hear him complain once about being tired nor did it feel like he tried to rush through it. Most importantly, his work is awesome! Great line work, colors and details in both my wife and my piece. It was my first piece for my wife with lots of color and she was so happy with the final product. He was extremely professional and a great artist!
