WHY RED ROCKET TATTOO

 

Red Rocket Tattoo has been part of New York City's tattoo community for more than 30 years. Founded by artists who helped shape modern tattooing in Manhattan, Red Rocket remains one of the city's few independently owned tattoo shops, serving locals, tourists, students, collectors, and first-time clients from around the world.

Located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, our team of resident and guest artists specializes in custom tattooing across a wide range of styles including Japanese Traditional, American Traditional, Black & Grey, Color Realism, Fine Line, Large-Scale Custom Work, Sleeves, Backpieces, and Bodysuits.

What separates Red Rocket Tattoo from many modern studios is experience. Our artists bring decades of professional tattooing knowledge to every project, combining strong design fundamentals, technical skill, and a commitment to creating tattoos that stand the test of time.

Whether you're planning a small meaningful tattoo, a custom sleeve, or a multi-session body suit, you'll work directly with an experienced artist from consultation through completion. Every project is approached with professionalism, honesty, and respect for the client and the craft.

We regularly host international and traveling guest artists, giving our clients access to world-class talent and a diverse range of tattoo styles without leaving New York City.

PROFESSIONAL BODY PIERCING

Professional body piercing is available by Nathalie La Piercer, who provides a calm, client-focused experience using implant-grade titanium jewelry, sterile techniques, and precision placement for both first-time and experienced piercing clients.
