FABIAN IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! I just left from getting 3 flash tats back to back because of how impressed I was but also because this studio is amazing and I critically like to get myself stabbed besides that the staff treat you like you are home and like your family. And the owners are the sweetest people you will ever meet, Literally would never go anywhere else !

I have a habit of getting new ink when I travel. Saturday 12/9/23 was no exception. After reading all the reviews, decided to stop into Red Rocket. Gio was available and I’m so glad. His work copying my choice was quick and spot-on. However, when it came time to pay, I was floored and embarrassed when I didn’t have enough cash, thinking I was going to pay $100 cash and the rest on my card. Gio is one of the artists who does not accept credit. When I decided on Red Rocket, the website clearly said credit cards accepted. So I was in a bind…no cash for his tip either! Fortunately my friend had cash so she gave me the $10 for the balance plus $20 for his tip. Gio was amazing. Friendly, respectful and an amazing artist. I have a tattoo that needs a facelift and I only wish I could go back and have him do it for me. But being 75, that was my last trip to the Big Apple.

Do not let this place take advantage of you like they did to my friend and I! We were on a girls trip to the city and after dinner decided it would be fun to get small tattoos. The atmosphere at this shop was nice and I truly appreciate the gentleman that worked with me to come up with a design that I liked. I also appreciate that he said he didn’t do much fine line work so he passed me off to another gentleman in the shop. After 1 week my overpriced tattoo is DISAPPEARING. Same for my friends. I have another large fine line piece that never disappeared. I tried writing the “artist” afterwards and he told me that happens with thin lines. Well if it happens with thin lines then why couldn’t he share this before or ask if I wanted it thicker? I was charged $250 and then left him a nice 20% tip so $300 for a small (maybe 2 inch) tattoo to now have to pay again for someone to fix it. Again, I do like the design. But the artist should not be offering his services if this is what is going to happen. It’s not right to charge someone an arm and a leg for something that’s vanishing. The third girl in our group was tattooed by someone else and hers looks good. But for my other friend and I, we were tattooed by Jager Fernandez (this is the name on his Instagram) so please be aware. An artist should always be open about what they do or don’t feel comfortable with doing. Don’t do something just for the money. They had also said the tattoo was going to be over $300 after I had asked for a price and when I got hesitant they started negotiating the price. I felt weird about that. Again this is maybe a 2 inch tattoo…. I do understand this is in the heart of New York City, but I am just emphasizing don’t take advantage of people because they are tourists.
