Every tattoo, even did two in one day, has been awesome. I worked with Shannon last, though every artist I’ve worked with at Red Rocket Tattoo, including receptionists has been nothing short of caring, professional, creative and just overall awesome! Best shop in NYC!

Got tattooed by Andre on August 27th and had an amazing experience! Everyone was so nice and professional, I 100% recommend. Thank you again!

I visited Red Rocket a week ago and I'm happy to say that my new tattoo is healing nicely, and I love it more and more each time I look at it! The artist, Andres Flu, was a pleasure to work with - he made me super comfortable throughout the entire process of coming up with my design and getting inked. I felt like I was in good hands all the way through. My session took about five hours so I did have plenty of time to observe the comings and goings of the shop! It's a clean shop, and the staff/artists were all friendly and treated their clients with respect. It also seems like the artists offer a diverse scope of specialties so depending on what you're looking to get inked, someone here is likely going to be a good fit for you. Thanks to folks at Red Rocket for making me feel comfortable and super shoutout to Flu for being so awesome and kind!

Could I take my 11 year old son in with me? Can he watch?

Hello. We love children but we are an 18 or older establishment. There is adult content here and we have no provisions to watch children while their adult is being tattooed. We prefer not to have children in the studio. Thank you.

Do u need an appointment?

Danna Kenney | Sep 30, 2018
Red Rocket Tattoo | Sep 30, 2018

Nope! We take walk-ins every day. If you are looking for a large and/or custom piece, or a specific artist, an appointment may be required. But for relatively small and simple tattoos, we can usually fit you in same-day.

How much is a cover up ?

Cherry Smith | Sep 30, 2018
Jonathan Jimenez | Sep 30, 2018

Depends on the size and length of session. But its around $200 an hour for the artists in the shop.

I want to get my first tattoos. Two small, b&w ones. Probably about 1"-1.5" at most in size for each. I was wondering what a rough cost estimate would be for them here?

Red Rocket Tattoo | Sep 29, 2020

Hi there! Thank you very much for getting in touch! We'd be happy to do these tattoos for you. We do accept walk-ins, which is usually a good option for smaller tattoos. Our shop minimum price is $100 per tattoo. If you have any further questions, please feel free to stop by the shop or give us a call @ (212) 736-3001

what are the rates per hour for a tattoo? im looking to come this summer and get a tiny tat while i visit.

Brian Medeiros | Sep 30, 2019

Here the answer which you can find on their homepage under FAQ: "The short answer is, it depends on the tattoo. There is a minimum price of $100 that applies to all tattoos, no matter how small. Any tattoo that can be completed in a single sitting will be charged at a flat rate that is determined by the artist and is based on the size, placement, and design (complexity) of the tattoo. Larger pieces—anything that takes more than one session to complete—are charged by the hour, at a rate of $200/hour. It is very difficult to estimate how long a multi-session tattoo will take, as it depends on the design, how you sit for the tattoo, etc. Sessions are usually 3-4 hours long and can be scheduled as far apart as you like, so that the cost of the tattoo is spread out over time. For specific estimates or price quotes, please come into the shop and speak to an artist in person. You can also let your artist know if you have a budget, and he or she will keep it in mind in designing the tattoo."

is the pricing done by time or by the size of the tattoo?

Basmah Iddisah | Sep 30, 2018
Red Rocket Tattoo | Sep 30, 2018

It's a bit of both. The size of the tattoo generally determines how long it will take! The hourly rate generally applies to larger pieces. For smaller tattoos, especially if they take less than an hour, the price is determined more by the size/location/level of detail, etc. Also, to make a slight correction to Kaitlin's reply- If the tattoo takes under an hour, it will be anywhere between $100-$200.
