Tattoo Shops in Bay Ridge, NY

Tattoo shops in Bay Ridge, in Kings County (Brooklyn), range from walk-in counters that stay open seven days a week to a private one-artist room. Seven shops share this page. The Hermit Tattoo & Piercing and Brooklyn Ink Tattoo both run seven days a week, while Don Vano by the Verrazzano and Kento Tattoo Studio work by appointment, and most of the shops here take custom work.

The Hermit Tattoo & Piercing opened in 2020 and takes walk-ins every day, with consultations by email. A team of seven artists works there, and lead artist Jon Jon has been tattooing in NYC for 24 years. The studio does custom designs, piercings and tooth gems. Brooklyn Ink Tattoo has been a neighborhood shop in Bay Ridge since 2005. Its four artists share more than 80 years of combined experience, the walls are lined with hand painted flash mostly done in house, and clients can also ask for custom work, from a name to a full body suit.

Appointment studios cover the finer and more detailed styles. Don Vano by the Verrazzano is a custom studio with six resident and guest artists working in black and grey, color realism, fine line, microrealism, botanical designs and traditional Japanese work. Artists keep their bookings so sessions start promptly, and appointments are required. Kento Tattoo Studio is a private, one-artist space that specializes in black and grey realism and fine line, set up to feel like home. Nothing Hurts Tattoos brings in artists from elsewhere to fit the style a client wants, while its resident artists specialize in black and grey and fine line work. Appointments are booked online.
