Custom Work From Artists Who Get It
What makes a tattoo worth having is the thought behind it. At Red Baron Ink Tattoo and Piercing, we work with West Village clients who want something designed specifically for them. Our artists come from all over the world and bring different specialties to the table. Color realism, fine line, Japanese, and black and grey. We sit down with you, talk through your ideas, and build a piece that fits your body and your story. No shortcuts, no cookie-cutter designs.
Piercing With Safety and Precision
We hold certification through the Association of Professional Piercers, which means we follow strict sterilization protocols and use only surgical-grade titanium or implant-grade gold. West Village locals appreciate that we walk them through the entire process and answer questions without rushing. You leave knowing exactly how to care for your piercing and what to expect during healing.

About West Village, NY
The West Village is a historic neighborhood in Lower Manhattan known for its winding, tree-lined streets that break from the city’s grid pattern. Cobblestone blocks, 19th-century brownstones, and a strong artistic legacy define the area. Christopher Street holds major significance in LGBTQ+ history and spots like the Cherry Lane Theatre and the old haunts of writers and musicians give the neighborhood its creative soul. Hudson River Park borders the west side, and local favorites like Via Carota keep the dining scene thriving.
