I spontaneously decided to get a helix piercing in solidarity with my friend getting his ears pierced last week. Luckily, Phase 3 had JUST begun. I'm super serious when it comes to my body and ensuring sterile practices for things like tattoos and piercings, so I did all my research beforehand on getting pierced with a needle vs gun, best metals to use, healing processes, etc...Red Baron answered when I called, booked an appt for me the next day with Xavier. All these reviews are right; everyone here is SOOOO friendly and sociable, the vibe is amazing. They make you feel super comfortable and relaxed. I had all the time in the world to pick out my piece; yes the jewelry itself is a bit pricey but I'd read up about the healing process for cartilage piercings so I wasn't settling for anything cheap and chose a little white gold stud piece with titanium bar. When the equipment was sterilized, it was time for the procedure. Xavier took me into the room, instructed me to breathe in/out in intervals, and while I wasn't nervous when the needle entered (I have 5 tats haha, but this was my first piercing since my lobes as a baby), it definitely felt like MORE than a PINCH for me haha but I got through it. I LOVE the finished product though. Now here's hoping I get through the extensive healing process seamlessly enough. But I'd definitely come back if I decide I want more, or consider them if I want another tat! read more

Made an appointment with Xavier for a septum and both lobes. As it was my first time, I didn't know really what to expect. The whole process was extremely smooth and Xavier is a total delight. I'm 1 week out and with regular cleanings I feel very confident that these will all work out. I'm happy with the whole thing from selection, to atmosphere, to the piercing process itself. Red Baron is a shop I trust 100%. A+. read more

Red Baron Ink - Love the results :) - Tattoo Near Me - New York, New York

I came here unplanned and they met all of my expectations. I loved working with Dave and everyone there is kind & friendly. The tattoo came out so good and I can't be happier, just like I imagined it. Also, it might be worth mentioning that Dave was very patient and wanted to make sure that everything is perfect & that I am happy with it in a first place. Overall, this unplanned trip to a tattoo studio went very well and I am glad they were able to accommodate my late arrival and do such a good work. Will definitely recommend them to everyone ! 10/10 & once again, thanks Dave! read more

I got tattooed by Joey here and it was such an incredible experience. To me, the vibe of the shop is just as important as the quality of the artist. Because who wants to get tattooed in an environment they feel uncomfortable in? I immediately felt welcomed when I stepped foot in here. Everyone was super friendly. On top of the fact that he's an incredible artist, Joey is such a cool dude and was patient with me throughout the whole process, even staying late to finish my piece. I couldn't be happier with it and I'll definitely be returning again--I've officially found my favorite shop in the city. read more

Red Baron took me for a walk-in nose piercing. Xavier did an amazing job - he was so kind, thorough & precise, and explained every step to me throughout the procedure. The facilities are incredibly clean and they have a beautiful jewelry selection. Everyone there was welcoming - definitely on their customer service game. I would recommend Red Baron to anyone & definitely plan to visit again myself. read more

Found them on a recent trip to New York and had an amazing experience! Set up an appointment for a conch piercing and was in and out within the hour. Liz was my piercer, and she was AMAZING! I went there with a piece of jewelry in mind, but unfortunately it was out of my price range, yet she helped me find one that was in my price range and so beautiful and perfect for my ear. She took a look at my other piercing that I got recently and gave me tips on how to clean them without any extra irritation and the piecing itself was virtually painless. If I'm ever back in New York I'm definitely coming back. Thank you for an awesome piercing experience. read more

Red Baron Ink West were amazing for my latest tattoo. Kong did an awesome job of the Vitruvian Man and the guys at the desk were very helpful in making me welcome and part of the family. The place is fairly new, so has a real clean feel about it, which was cool. Good taste in music too! Highly recommend and will definitely go back for my next tat. read more

5 Star experience with Shannon! Went in nervous to do my rook and conch piercings. Great price and great reviews so I decided to go for it. Shannon set up both piercings but told me there was no pressure and I could decide just to do one if I wanted. The rook went so smoothly and she was so attentive and caring that I went for the conch. Very fast, she explained every step, and repeated care instructions twice for me. It felt like they simply wanted to make me happy! Phenomenal atmosphere, amazing people. Would 100% recommend for piercings. read more

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. 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! read more

I've been going to Red Baron for years, they only work with the best artists in the industry. You can walk in and see anyone and they will exceed your expectations! But I recently discovered MARY, she is the most personable tattoo artist I've ever met. I left my first appt feeling like I made a new friend. I've since seen her once a month since sept, with no plans to slow down. I've decided she will be my artist until I have no more skin to cover! read more

This has got to be one of the most welcoming experiences I've ever had at a tattoo shop. These folks are unpretentious and down to earth. Their response time is also insanely quick - huge plus for me. Had my 9th tattoo done by Kong today. He is light handed and so meticulous with his line work. Received the cutest sternum tattoo without any pain. I will definitely be back for my 10th (11th, 12th...)! read more

Just got my helix pierced by expert piercer Shannon. I had a great experience from start to finish, I barely felt a thing and I'm really pleased with the results. Also, they used a hallow needle to pierce which is the correct way to do it . Come see Shannon! read more

I just got my fifth tattoo from Alex Passapera here and he killed it! He listened well during the design process (if I suggested something that would have looked weird or wouldn't have worked well he explained why) and was super friendly and nice. The vibrancy of his colors is outstanding and tied with his bold lines and striking compositions it really makes for a wonderful piece of art. I had a great tattoo experience here and highly recommend this shop. read more

Had a really pleasant and professional experience here. Came in to get my nose re-pierced after getting a not so great piercing ages ago. The staff was so helpful and informative about what type of jewelry to get (start with stud even though I was thinking hoop) and they walked me through the entire process from start to finish. Getting the actual piercing was a pleasant experience. I think Shannon did it, can't recall her name but she was awesome. Very chill and explained the process as well as the jewelry and how it worked. I highly recommend the people here! Make sure you budget some extra time because you'll want to stick around and chat :) read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would. My friend Dre recommended me here and entry to exit I have no complaints. I came in and was greeted by a dope woman who vibed with me and my friend Danni. She was so sweet and insightful on tattoos. I got my tattoo done by Kong, who is the sweetest soul. He helped me with lettering, placement and many other things that put my indecisive mind at ease. He went over my tattoo a bunch and really took the time and effort for it. You can tell everyone is very healthy and happy at Red Baron. The place was clean and I got offered water, which when getting a tattoo makes the experience all the more pleasant. This tattoo is my 5th and I never understood why people committed to one tattoo place until now. Will definitely be coming back for another piece!! read more

These guys are just the best! My girlfriend went in for a piercing and I got my first tattoo here. Orange did my tattoo and it was absolutely amazing. She and Gear walked me through everything and were so kind. Giselle set up the entire thing even when we needed to pull and audible. The price was great the people were awesome everything felt exactly as it should. Will be coming back for my second. Thanks so much!!! read more

I did my research before getting a tattoo and I had a friend recommend this place. She loved hers and had something in similar size and shape to what I wanted. I first emailed them just to see what their deal was. They responded right away and very professionally with artists they thought matched the style of what I wanted (I only gave a vague description) which was great! I looked up their styles and went with Joey Perez because he had done something similar in the past. Since it was my first tattoo, I had a consultation. Joey was awesome and let me know his ideas and thoughts for the design and made me feel super comfortable. At the actual appointment, Joey showed up all ready prepared with my design (I had been told by others sometimes it just gets drawn during your appointment) with sizes he thought would work. It was awesome! The whole experience was fun, and I'm IN LOVE with my tattoo! It's on my butt and I never want to put my pants on again. I HIGHLY recommend Red Baron, especially Joey who made my who first Tattoo experience extremely comfortable and awesome. And the healing process has been painless as well! It is a little more expensive than I know I could have gone, but I would not change a thing: the art is super clean and looks great, better than a cheap $60 tattoo could ever be. Even if you get something small GO HERE!! read more

My tattoo artist just moved to this shop and I had a meeting to work on finishing a chest piece I've been working on for about a year now. Alex Passapera is such a dope artist that I only follow him to new studios like most people follow the Kardashians on IG. Look, he's super awesome. Don't believe me? http://www.alexpassapera.com/work/ Check out his work. Or this one https://www.instagram.com/p/BiK0n_WlR2i/?taken-by=rbitattoo So, I walk in this place and I meet Grant. Grant? He's the owner. One of the coolest dudes ever. I hang out and I'm talking to my boy, Alex, and Grant is drawing. Dude, Grant is a talented artist as well. https://www.instagram.com/p/BhwkXdRHGzP/?taken-by=grant_tattoos Grant has a really wicked Fkin original style. Want to rep something different? Yo, Grant is your guy. The shop is super clean. It's bright. IT's not the stereotypical dive shop that you see around the city. It felt like a hip modern shop. It wasn't small, but not large; the shop is very intimate. Everyone had a good vibe. You go in? It feels like you know everyone and they're all friends. Alex Passapera is dope af. His neighbor is this Artist Olivia. https://www.instagram.com/olivepizzas/ Yo, she was working on someone and the piece looked sick. Ultimately, LOOK. Infinity Wars just came out. This place is like the Avengers of Tatoo parlors. Everyone is a god damn super hero artist and I just happen to know one of them. Alex Passapera works at a dope shop and is a dope artist. Go. And become family. read more

World class, grant runs a tight ship. You get what you pay for here, phenomenal artists all around, beyond pleasant experience. Don't even think twice, don't cheap out, and tip your artist always! Much love to everyone at the shop, truly the best in NYC and quite honestly the best anywhere around. Alex Passapera who did my tattoo is an angel and ink master. Incredible work and beyond unique designs that have people turning heads while I walk down the street. read more

Found out about RB on Instagram and I'm glad I reached out to make an appointment. The studio is great- perfect location, clean, plenty of room even for how crowded it was when I was there. The staff and artists are super awesome, very friendly and chill. I had the pleasure of getting a tattoo from Vince. His work is phenomenal, the line work is so detailed and his designs are unique. I picked a design from his sketchbook and I absolutely love it. I definitely plan on going back in the future. read more

This place is well worth your interest and if you're looking to exchange your well earned dollars and cents for something permanent and original, R.B.I is very well worth your time and consideration. Clean, friendly...all the right stuff. Alex Passapera is a diversely talented artist and he's a complete breeze to spend great deals of time with. The whole team seem to be beasts of the trade. Go in. Get stuck. Go back. Tip: If it's warm, a cold brewed coffee goes along way towards making new friends, friends. If it's a cold one, make it a hot one. You get it. read more

Had a fabulous time at Red Baron Ink - shop was super clean & Alex supplied great photos of my tattoo following my session. 10/10

Went here with 8 of my family members to get matching tattoos in honor of our uncle who had passed. Everyone in the shop was so kind and welcoming. From the moment we stepped into the shop we were met with warm smiles, a cheerful team, and complete kindness. The shop is beautiful--super clean, art everywhere, smells sooo good, and awesome music. We had booked the appointment in advance to secure our afternoon with our amazing artist, Kong. Now, let me tell you something about Kong, he's quiet but don't let it fool you, he's a genius. Truly the best! It's the first tattoo I've gotten where I wasn't sore or in pain afterwards. Kong took such wonderful care of all of us. His patience with us (Did I mention there were 9 of us?! ) and his willingness to alter the tattoo slightly for members in the group was so appreciated. Thank you Kong and the rest of the team at Red Baron Ink West, especially the manager who was cracking up with us! We can't wait to go back! read more

Shannon was AMAZING! She's so sweet, the best piercer ever forreal. My friends and I got our nipples pierced and she was so knowledgeable, very patient and super clean. It's clear that she's very experienced as she took the time to explain step by step the experience before it took place for each of us. Would totally go back read more

I found this place on here, and am absolutely blown away by the cleanliness, friendlyness and professionalism of everyone I met at the show. I walked in to make an appointment and ended up getting my piece right on the spot. Olivia did such amazing work and I'll definitely be coming back to her for more!! read more

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Matt Kong who took his time with me to make sure the placement and size of the tattoo was perfect. The consultation was simple to set up and the entire studio was clean and professional as well as the staff. I value that I felt comfortable throughout the entire process and the pricing fit right within my budget. I would go back in heartbeat. Thank you to the staff at Red Baron. read more

My friend and I walked in on a Wednesday afternoon and had a 10/10 experience with Dave. He is literally the kindest and most patient person I've met in the city. He made us so comfortable. He was extremely accommodating and friendly and paid attention to every detail of what we wanted. I could tell that he was new and had to check things over with his mentor but he did an excellent job and the next time i return to the city i will be seeing Dave again. He was such a breath of fresh air in a pushy fast paced city. read more

As soon as you enter you feel welcomed and comfortable. I got my first from kong and he took his time to make sure I liked what I was about to get. The space was very clean and nice. I'll be back for more! read more

I came here when I was last in New York on a business trip and decided on a whim to get my double ear piercings and cartilage piercing that I had been wanting for over a year. When I called and told them what I wanted, they told me that Liz (the ear piercing specialist) wasn't really available unless I came right then, and luckily I was right around the corner! How perfect and awesome that Liz stayed open to help me. I was a little nervous because I hadn't had any piercings since i was a little kid at Claire's, but Liz and the other workers there made me feel really taken care of. They were super knowledgeable about the process, had a great selection of beautiful earrings, and Liz really took her time in making sure the piercings were perfect. A few months later, I had a problem with my cartilage piercing and DMed them on Instagram. They responded right away with questions and advice on how to better take care of my ear/what solution to be using, and kept following up. I will definitely be coming back here if I am in New York and want to get another piercing! I had an awesome experience. read more

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! read more
