About Us

We are located on the waterfront in the Historic District of Greenpoint, the northernmost neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn.

Once a Mecca for shipbuilding, with over 70% of world’s ships being built right here, including the USS Monitor.

Over the years Greenpoint has been home to industry, riots, artists, squatters, and one of the largest single disaster fires in New York City.

Greenpoint’s historic district boasts over 300 buildings dating back to 1890. NYC Tattoo Shop™ is located in one of them – at 42 West Street, a piece of the historic complex of warehouses on the Brooklyn Waterfront. Once home to the largest rope making factory in the US – the American Manufacturing Company.

NYC Tattoo Shop™ is fully licensed and prides itself on maintaining one of the highest levels of cleanliness. Our tattoo artists are also licensed and only use the very best state-of-the-art tattooing equipment and advanced cross-contamination prevention practices.
