About NYC Tattoo Shop
NYC Tattoo Shop is a walk-in tattoo and piercing shop with two studios: Manhattan, at 141 Canal St, and Brooklyn, at 164 N 6th St. Come in for flash or a small piece, book a set time with the artist you want, or send us your idea for a custom design.
Our artists cover a wide range of styles, from traditional, fine line and black & grey to realism, lettering and watercolor. Our piercers use single-use needles and jewelry sterilized right before your appointment.
