    Ruben is my favorite tattoo artist. I met him a couple of years ago and he has grown as a reputable artist in the industry. He is my go-to tattoo expert! I remember visiting Graveyard Tattoo in Antigua since I needed him to cover up an old tattoo from another artist. He did an amazing job and after that he has done 3 large pieces for me. I decided to take a flight from LA to NY just because of the amazing work he does. So far, he has tattooed me three days in a row in different areas. He's very meticulous and detailed with everything, which I appreciate very much as I am a tattoo aficionado. Ruben is a perfectionist and he will not disappoint you! I selected one of my pieces from Pinterest and he turned it into such an astonishing tattoo (made it into a unique piece of art). Really does a great job of mapping your design out with you and really flows with your skin and body type. His shop in NY, is by far the best in quality and professionalism. The shop itself is very clean and has a great aesthetic. Ruben is welcoming and patient if you're new to tattoos, he will sit down and work with your tattoo idea. He has such a calming demeanor and was always professional. All around great person and does beautiful work! Best shop in NY in my opinion but check him out for yourself! Check out the unique pieces he has done on my legs.

    I recently decided to get my fourth tattoo, and after searching for artists for over a year, I fell in love with Szabla's work at Graveyard. Szabla and Ruben are very professional, and I felt at home immediately. Very comfortable setting with quality ink. Definitely recommend Graveyard and the whole crew over there.

    Ruben is an incredibly talented artist and tattoo artist. He's also patient, friendly and really cool. From my initial consultation, the concept of my tattoo and the actual tattoo he was absolutely top notch. He took my idea and converted it into perfection! He made a level of detail I i didn't know was even possible. He uses the latest tech, the best inks and he is easy to work with. If you haven't guessed it already I highly recommend him. I'm definitely getting more work done with Ruben.

    I found tattooist Yeonnie through a friend who came here to get a tattoo of her cats. 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!!

    TLDR: Got a navel done here - pricy but 100% worth it to be done by a very skilled and experienced…read morepiercer. It's a permanent thing on your body so I would pay more ensure that it's done correctly anyway! The service here was amazing and everyone is incredibly knowledgeable and excited to work with you! I made an appointment here to get my navel re-pierced and chose this place due to their high ratings and reviews on Google. I can say with confidence that the accolades are well deserved! I had the pleasure of working with George to do my piercing. Upon walking into my appointment I was greeted by another employee who checked my ID and walked me through the process while George was getting ready for me. He was so friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and welcoming! He warned ahead of time that navel is an anatomy- based piercing so there's a chance I won't be able to get it done after my consultation, in addition to aftercare and resources so that I'm well-armed with everything I need to know to take care of my new piercing. In the last I've had my navel done unprofessionally, and then again professionally about a few years ago so I was hesitant about the scarring. George did my consult and assured me that it was safe for me to get it done again. He walked me through the process and talked through exactly what he was doing for prepping and piercing so I didn't get anxiety in anticipation. My navel looks beautiful and it's healing so nicely!! I felt safe, assured that I was getting it done so professionally, and I love how all the info is displayed on the website. All piercers have IGs if you have follow up questions and they respond so fast! Highly recommend!!
