About New York
Born & raised in (you guessed it) New York, I started my journey in the tattoo industry on the east coast in 2013. In 2015, I moved to Washington to get away from the snow and quickly fell in love with the area. Shortly after, I adopted the nickname New York which was given to me by my coworkers.
Over the years, my love of linework has led me down the ornamental and geometric path where I try to focus on high contrast work that’s readable across a room.
Outside of tattooing, I spend most of my time with my 4 cats, 3 dogs and my queer chosen family at home, either in the pool or trying my hand at every hobby I can think of from woodworking to linocut prints to watercolor paintings. Ive loved creating in so many different mediums but tattooing will always be my true passion.

New York's FAQ
How often do your books open?
Currently my books open for custom projects once a year, but flash pieces and sudden openings get posted throughout the year on a first come first serve basis, and are posted to my Instagram story.
What is your cancellation policy?
I require a minimum of 7 days prior notice if you're unable to make your current scheduled appointment time and want to reschedule. Anything sooner than 7 days prior notice and your deposit is considered forfeit and you will need to place a new one to make a new appointment.
What type of tattoo projects are you looking to take on?
I’m currently only working with black ink and focusing on geometric, ornamental and dotwork pieces with a focus on high contrast.
What form of payments do you accept?
Deposits can be made via Venmo as I have many clients out of state and stopping by with cash isn't always an option. However, I am CASH ONLY for all procedure costs. There is NO ATM on site so please make sure to grab cash out ahead of time!
Do you do coverups?
The type of work that I do is heavily reliant on open skin. Working over existing pieces unfortunately compromises my ability to achieve high contrast and I don’t often take coverup projects on for that reason.
Will you finish this tattoo that someone else started? Even if it's not your style?
Unfortunately not at this time, as I’m looking to focus on projects that are wholly my own design.
How much input do you prefer clients to have on the design process?
Usually a few reference images and any specifics that they have in mind is enough for me, but sometimes it’s just as helpful to point out the things you don't like in a specific reference as it is to point out the things you do like.
Do you accept Tips/Gifts/Snacks?
Tips/gifts are always appreciated but not expected. I’m allergic to seafood, black olives and soy milk as far as food allergies go and am a baby about anything spicy!
