I came there for a “Reaper” tattoo. It’s a symbol of my motorcycle club. Rene Soto was my artist. His attention to detail is what separates my tat from everyone else’s in my nationwide club. His shop has a cool vibe, you feel like you belong.

Hands down the best tatto shop in NYC. Renee has been doing this since the 70s and he has mastered the craft. I've been getting inked since the 80s and only wish I had found Skin Trade a long time ago.

One of the illest legendary tattoo artists on the planet. The shop is reminiscent of the old tattoo shops of Hell Kitchen with little touch of old and new. If you are going to get a tattoo that you forever cherish, this is the spot to go for an adventure back into time and forward into the future in the very same moment. Ask for Rene and tell him I sent ya! You won't regret it. ?
