Outline done by Britaini, January 2025

Saw Britaini in January. She took my fifteen photos and turned it into a beautiful and personalized piece. The space was clean and full of art and tattoo books, folks were friendly, and I felt comfortable and at ease. We used numbing cream and finished the piece in about 2.5 hours. Reasonably priced and great communication! I will be back again!!

Maise is an absolute gem. My daughter was getting pierced and Maise was communicating everything she was about to do so my daughter knew what to expect. You can feel the pride she takes in her work. The aftercare instructions where thorough.

The old. The before. The nostalgic. The first.

This place has 2 diff Yelp pages! I did a review on the other page a couple of years ago, on my awesome piercing experience there. But the past year I've been checking out my very first tattoo ever, received almost 20 years ago at Andromeda on St. Mark's place, and seeing how much it's aged. I decided it was FINALLY time to do my first real tattoo...touch-up? Refresh? Re-work? Whatever it was, I decided to try Red Baron out for their ink, since my piercing went so well with them and everyone here is SO friendly (I've come back multiple times for check-ups and new helix jewelry). So I sent them a picture of my tired old "Magical Girl Sagittarian Arrow" and told them I was looking for someone to make it shine again. I was sent the pages of a few artists and I settled on Daisy, because she had a portfolio of tons of cute modern-looking anime and gamer stuff. The second I showed her a picture on my phone of the Key of Clow's wings, she immediately said "Cardcaptor Sakura," and I knew she was meant to be my artist :D Daisy was INCREDIBLY patient with me. We literally worked on the revamped design for an HOUR AND A HALF, as I sent her back to make changes at least 3-4 times, altering wing look, ribbon length, arrow style, my god, she was an angel. But the end result was gorgeous. She was awesome at explaining any limitations due to having to follow the original tattoo shape, and she also explained her technique of working on the more difficult spots (for the customer haha) first, to keep the pain threshold tolerable. And I surely felt it in the beginning when she started, but by the time we were midway through it was so much easier and I was shocked when she announced she was done! The actual execution of the tattoo was done in under an hour, less than the planning took! My dingy old arrow now had an INCREDIBLE makeover. Daisy was soo sweet and I HIGHLY recommend her. Expect to pay a premium price here, but I walked in knowing this beforehand. I don't play when it comes to my tattoos or any permanent piercing/jewelry on my body. So I'm willing to pay premium for safety and cleanliness, SKILL, freaking good talent, and peace of mind. I had no doubts I would be pleased with the outcome and my expectations were exceeded times TEN. Plus, this place has very good vibes, great lighting (no doom and gloom grim reaper aesthetic), and a big front window where you can people-watch as you're getting worked on. Methinks the next time I need more work done, I'm coming back. I've gotten quite attached to this place

I got a tattoo here with Britaini after a recommendation from a family member, and I would give the whole experience more than five stars if I could. This was my second tattoo but it's in a much more visible location than my first, so I was a little nervous, but it turns out I had no reason to worry. She really took her time to ensure that it turned out perfectly and that the design was exactly what I wanted. The final product is absolutely gorgeous and even better than what I'd been hoping for, and it's healing beautifully so far. I'm so happy with it. The front desk staff were also super friendly and nice, and they answered all of my questions. My appointment was scheduled just a day in advance and that wasn't an issue at all. The shop was clean and had a great vibe. The pricing was very reasonable too, especially considering the quality. Unfortunately I'm not local to the area, but will absolutely come back if I'm in the market for a tattoo or piercing next time I'm in town.

Wonderful team! I called in to ask if I could be seen same day at 5:15pm. They accepted me. Music was cool. Staff and customers giving "dude bros". It was cute. I was set up with Xavier for a nose piercing. I already had a septum with a right nostril piercing. When I tell you this man took his TIIIIME!! He brought out brow mapping thread and mapped out the other side so I can have it parallel to my right one. He was patient with me and my concerns. I was having a pretty bad day and getting it definitely settled my brain out. I got an aftercare pdf along with a way to reach him if anything went wrong. Also informed me to do a follow up to check how everything is

I bought my last-minute ear piercing; and it's such a wonderful experience. Everyone is friendly, and the place is super clean. Xavier is awesome and patient and very detailed. Thank you.

Joanna revitalized the underwhelming tattoo of my late mother that I got from a different shop years ago. Everyone in the shop was kind and welcoming & the shop was clean with a friendly atmosphere. I was so pleased with the experience I sat back down to get another one of my tatts worked on. 10 stars.

Tattoo immediately after getting it done!

I got a tattoo here with Miko around 3 years ago, and couldn't be happier with the experience!! Red Baron Ink is very professional yet simultaneously laid back, putting you at ease during the entire experience. Miko is highly skilled and was able to beautifully fulfill my request despite the vague description I had given her. The tattoo was pretty painless despite placement on the inner forearm (though this is different for everyone), and healed super quickly. I followed the aftercare directions Miko had given me, and had absolutely no issues with the healing process. 3 years from that day, my tattoo is still just as vibrant as the first day I got it done!! High quality inks and technique. Can't wait to come back for more! :))

I travel from Florida just to get my work done by Grant because it is well worth the journey. Grant recently completed this patriotic piece and before that, he completed a full sleeve. I could not be happier with the outcome. I had been to other tattoo shops and received horrible art and the ink faded. Grant does vibrant work with colors and uses only the very best ink which will last for many years to come. The shop is beautiful, welcoming, and very clean. The other artists are all great and have great personalities. I strongly recommend Grant and Red Baron Ink....

My first tattoo!, and I chose Red Baron Ink. I chose red baron ink based on their 5-star reviews, and the diversity of tattoo artist that they have. I walked in and the place was super clean, organized and welcoming. They took proper covid precautions. It was my first tattoo, and I can tell the staff was really excited for me. I loved that!!! Made me feel very special. My fiancé came with, but I didn't want to ask if he can sit next to me, due to covid and social distancing. Since there was plenty of space in the back, the manager pulled out a chair for my fiancé, and he was able to be next to me the entire time. We didnt have to ask. They acknowledged that on their own, and I thought that was really nice. Thats great customer service. I loved how the other staff members interacted with us. Made us feel they really do care. My tattoo artist was Erik. I couldn't of asked for a better artist!!! He did an amazing job bringing my idea to life on ink! He went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. I chose him because he is so diverse with his work! He can do it all. My tattoo is single line/thin line tattoo and he nailed it!!!!! Communciation with him was the best. He acknowledged all my messages; I knew I picked the right artist! I highly recommend Red Baron Ink!!!

My tattoo, healed now.

I came from the DC area to RBI because I was having a big issue with an artist in trying to complete a half-sleeve back home. I was already on edge and nervous about getting the piece done because it had big emotional resonance to me. I emailed RBI, explained my situation, and they connected me to Daisy Lu. I told Daisy the significance of the piece and the limited time I had to get it done since I wasn't from the area. Daisy not only sympathized with me, but she ended up elevating the design from its original version. She finished a full, detailed, in color and painterly-like tattoo for me in 2 sessions. She was kind, warm, and as someone who swells up during sessions, she ensured to try everything to help the swelling go down and ease my pain. I will only go to Daisy from now on and make the trek from down here due to her professionalism, empathy, and high level of skill. I am so grateful and impressed. I cannot recommend Daisy and the team at RBI enough.

3-4 wks healed

I really…read moreliked her art and when my friend showed me her versions of windchimes and norigae style tattoo, i was sold. After my first, I've been perusing what would be the best style for my second (I really wanted to get a tattoo dedicated to my cat, Matcha). I instantly fell in love and as fate has it, there was an inspo photo of an omamori with jiji (from kiki's) and cherry blossoms that hit my instagram. Instantly, I knew that this is the style I would like so I messaged Yeonnie and she responded quick. She will do the sketch a day before your appointment (you'll get a cute sketch by midday) and you can request any changes. I absolutely adored the edition of my cartooni-fied cat. Now that I have it on my upper left arm, I am so happy to have a few of the things I personally love forever on my body. Thank you :) I definitely would recommend her. She's quick so the painful moments does not last as long. highly recommend!!
