Premier Tattoo Shop in Roosevelt Island, NY
Living on a two-mile stretch of land in the middle of the East River gives you a different perspective on the city, and it should give you higher standards for things like tattoos. We’re a team that treats this work like the art form it is, and residents from Roosevelt Island keep coming back to us because we deliver. If you want to work with New York’s best tattoo shop where artists actually listen and create pieces built to last, we’re ready when you are.
Ink That Stands the Test of Time
Your tattoo should look as good in fifteen years as it does the day you get it. At Red Baron Ink Tattoo and Piercing, that’s exactly how we approach every session with Roosevelt Island clients. Our artists specialize in color realism, fine line work, Japanese designs, and black and grey pieces. We don’t copy and paste from a flash book and call it a day. We sit with you, talk through your ideas, and design something that works with your body and actually means something to you.
Piercings Done the Right Way
We hold certification through the Association of Professional Piercers, which means we follow strict safety protocols and only use surgical-grade titanium or implant-grade gold. No cheap metals, no guesswork. Roosevelt Island locals appreciate that we take time to explain the healing process and answer every question. You walk out confident about what to expect and how to care for your new piercing.

About Roosevelt Island, NY
Roosevelt Island is a narrow strip of land sitting between Manhattan and Queens in the East River. Residents reach the island by the iconic Roosevelt Island Tramway, the F train, or the bridge from Astoria. The neighborhood has a tight-knit community feel with Main Street shops, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park at the southern tip, and the historic Renwick Ruin nearby. Cornell Tech’s campus adds a modern edge to an island known for its quiet, pedestrian-friendly streets and panoramic skyline views.
