“LOVE THIS SHOP SO MUCH! I have worked around the corner from this gem for almost 3 years. I finally went in with my best friend who was in town for her birthday and being the spontaneous girls that we are we had to get matching friendship tattoos. The owner Spencer was so kind and welcoming and the artists Jo and Emmy inked up my girl and I to perfection! I also got some cute new ear piercings thanks to Jo. This shop not only welcomed us with open arms and had fun with us they made our night so special. They are professional, kind, open minded and incredibly talented. 10/10 ! 3 gold stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ I will definitely be going back to my favorite tattoo shop in NYC!“

“Such a good experience for getting my first tattoo! I was a walk-in appointment. I got paired up with Juan and loved every minute of it. He was so considerate that this was my first tattoo and I was a little nervous. He sat with me and designed exactly the tattoo I wanted. Such a talented artist! I read a whole bunch of blogs beforehand that talked about how painful tattoos on the ribs are, but Juan was so gentle that it was not bad at all. We chatted during the process. He kindly offered to take breaks, but the pain was manageable and I don't think I opted for any. The end product was so great that, when he finished the first one, in the spur of the moment I decided to get a second tattoo right then and there! Everyone in there was friendly and funny. I highly recommend Graveyard!“

“I did some research, and decided to reach out to Red Baron Ink for my next tattoo. I wanted a NYC tattoo to commemorate my times in the city. I had an "idea", no specific artwork that I shared. Grant executed my idea beyond my imagination! I traveled from Cincinnati to have this done. We have great artists here, but I wanted to have it done in NYC. I could not be happier with my decision! From my first email, to my appointment, everything was handled so professionally and smoothly. This is a top notch studio, filled with extremely talented artists. Grant is amazing to work with, and I fully trusted him to do my piece. The staff makes you feel comfortable and welcome. I am already looking forward to booking my next appointment! Thank you, Grant and Red Baron Ink!“

“NYHC is a phenomenal tattoo shop. I have gotten a few tattoos from Eli and they are an incredible artist and an even better person. They have tattooed my lower stomach, back of my head, and my throat, which are all tough spots. Not only did they make me feel comfortable throughout the whole experience but they gave me tattoos that I love and would not trade for the world. If you want a tattoo you should go to NYHC and ask for Eli!“

“This was by far my best tattoo experience. Joey did my tattoo and from start to finish it was so simple and fun. He helped me pick the best spot out on my arm for my tat since Im skinny and placement can sometimes be a challenge. Then it was such a painless process and we talked the entire time which helped me relax and get comfortable. By the end of it I was left with a gorgeous tattoo and my new favorite artist! I wont be going to anyone else but Joey in the future. Thanks Sacred Tattoo!“

Wow.He is really professional and you can tell that this job is his passion.You really feel good.

Always changing into fresh gloves, sanitizing surfaces, and even labels his sharpies so they are used ONLY on the person being tattooed. Always good conversation and makes the whole experience fun.

“The best tattoo experience you could ever wish for. Knowledgeable artists, clean studio, friendly staff.What was the most important for me though is that they only use vegan and cruelty free materials.Our artist Ekaterina was paying a lot of attention to details and we ended up having a unique tattoo. This is very meaningful process so I’m happy that I made a decision to come to this place.“
