In addition, a little lesson in tattoo techniques and other artists. He was very authentic, patient, and caring while doing my tattoo.

I went to Ron's because it was highly recommended by a friend. When I walked in, the place was pretty quiet which I appreciated. The staff weren't wearing any masks, no hand sanitizer in sight, and I mean social distancing was all relative. If you're a person that likes to feel as safe as possible through this panorama(lol), this is not the place to go. But if you're not as paranoid, then I'm sure your tatts will be well worth it! I ended up leaving my because I just didn't feel comfortable.

Bear with me here - my review is going to be long, because I really want to share my incredible…read moreexperience with Graveyard NYC. I'm going to add a photo later after the bandage is off and it's had time to heal. I had been wanting an Iron Maiden tattoo for a long time. Since the band is celebrating their 50-year anniversary (who knows how much longer they'll be touring), and my 50th birthday is approaching, I decided the time was right for a Maiden tat to be a birthday present for myself. There are plenty of "Eddie" (the group's iconic mascot featured on every album cover) tattoos out there depicting "Eddie", but finding someone with experience with the subject matter AND located someplace in the US I could get to. That was a tall order. When I stumbled upon Ruben Barahona at Graveyard NYC, I knew right away that he was THE guy. When I saw his studio, with Iron Maiden memorabilia all over the place...well that just confirmed it. I live in the Southwest, so the logistics of getting this done while I was in NY, around Ruben's busy schedule wasn't easy - but a small price to pay to schedule with a world-class artist like Ruben. I was sitting down with the Babe Ruth of tattooing, with zero knowledge of the process, and no idea where to begin. He couldn't have been more patient or understanding. I could go on and on about what an incredible artist he is, his attention to detail, or his unwavering dedication to making sure it came out just right - but what made the experience next-level was his passion for the work. He was as excited as I was! It was just a real privilege to have him do my tattoo, and I am just really, really grateful for being able to work with Ruben. Oh yeah, and he is also just an awesome guy. Just about everyone I've showed it to said it was the best tattoo they'd ever seen. If you couldn't already tell, I love my new ink so much. I can't stop looking at it. One more thing though - I didn't want to kill the vibe, so I didn't really talk about it during the session, but I've been struggling with some pretty bad depression for a while now. The experience put the kind of smile on my face I haven't had in a very long time...and I'm still grinning like an idiot 3 days later. If you couldn't tell yet, I'm recommending Ruben. Regardless of the design, you won't find someone better.
