I just had my first tattoo at age 52 yesterday with Tim. It is absolutely beautiful. He is an artist. I thought about doing this for about 6 months to a year and Ive been very nervous about it but really wanted one. I am a doctor and people in my profession dont usually get tattoos and tend to be very judgmental about them. My 2 sons each have one and they are really nice and they chose well when they picked theirs. I visited 2 parlors in Brooklyn based on reviews on line. One of the parlors was a place one of my patients had gotten a beautiful tattoo, but when I went, the women at the front desk were nasty, full of attitude and not the least bit helpful or friendly. I walked out and rethought the whole thing. The next place I went to was in such a seedy location I just panicked and left. Then I went to the Red Parlour partly because it was close to my home, but mostly because it had the most 5 star reviews. Unlike most of the other parlors, their online site wasnt set up by artist, but it was set up by the whole establishment. There are only 2 artists, Powder and Tim as best I can tell. Im not sure if the owner, Red, does any tattoing himself, but they have hundreds of online pics to look at, and each one is more beautiful than the next. Plus you can read over 100 reviews and not a single one is negative. I went in the next day to talk to them. Red is a doll. I instantly felt comfortable and at ease. It felt right and I knew it was the right place. I spoke to Tim that day and he drew up a picture for me to look at the following week. Then I came back the next week and had the tattoo done, which was yesterday. It is just amazing. I have to say I was a basket case waiting to get it done. At my age its not the kind of thing you take lightly, but I love it and I decided I dont care what anyone thinks, I did it for me and me alone. I watched Powder do one while I was getting mine done and she is very talented as well. I cannot recommend this parlor highly enough. Tim is amazingly talented and the actual tattoo far exceeds the drawing in terms of its beauty. If youre going to do this, this is the place to go. The price was fair, it took a little under 3 hours and it was worth every cent and minute.

I had a old tiger tattoo that I wanted to cover up. I researched along time and finally went to the Red Parlour. There I met Red and Tim. What can I say about this place? This is the best tattoo parlour in all of New York. Red introduced me to Tim and then the my amazing experience began. Red and Tim guided me through the whole process. I cant tell you the time and effort that was given to me by these two gentleman. I had three (three-hour sessions) 5 weeks apart. Every session was better then the rest. Tim created this fantastic batman cover up. So many people tell how awesome this tattoo is!! The cover up work is top notch. It is the best tattoo I have and I have many. I will never ever go to any other place. Red is caring and guides you through everything. Tim is the best artist in New York. His work is phenomenal . Everyone is professional and the work that is created is unmatched anywhere. I love this place and so will you. If you want a tattoo or a cover up this is the place to go. Call up Red and get started. Youll be glad you did!!!!!!

I was searching for best places for nose piercing in Queens and this place came up with 5 stars. I read the reviews and knew right away this was the place for me. When I came in the place George and Powder made me feel welcomed. I was a little nervous since never had a piercing done as an adult but George is such a warm person and made me feel completely comfortable. He went through the steps with me and as he was doing it he told me what I was supposed to feel and all that... in general amazing experience.. I went back 2 days after because the piercing was bothering me and George with no problems was kind enough to replace the stud for me and actually customized it for me.. hes amazing! Thank you George!!!

I wanna just say, this place is definitely a 5 star TATOO Parlor. I have about 4 Tatoos. The first time I went to the Red Parlor I wanted to touch up an old tatoo. I work at a Used Car Dealership near the Red Parlor so I know Red from the neighborhood. Powder was the Tatoo artist that worked on me. She did an awesome job. She brought my old tat back to life. I went back again recently and got another one done. I am very happy with my new Tatoo!!! I highly recommend this place! There nice people, professional and the price is right!!!

I had a navel piercing. George was very careful to line up the piercing correctly. He made me feel comfortable and told me step by step what he was doing. He instructed me on after care. I only felt the pinch when he was piercing and did not feel much pain afterwards. There is some discomfort in the days that follow but, there is not much pain. It has healed fine by following the after care instructions. I pain $50 for the diamond-like post.

I had a great experience piercing my cartilage and lobes here. Theyre very informative about the piercing process and how to take care of the piercing while it heals. The process is very smooth. George and Red are extremely friendly! I would recommend The Red Parlour, they really take their time and put in the effort to use the proper equipment and technique to make piercings as painless as possible.

Rude staff. I went in to make an appt and they changed my whole tattoo idea. The guy kept cutting me off and then called in someone else to talk about my concept. He was impolite and she was just as bad. I wanted a simple design with two lily flowers and they bilittled my tattoo concept and said "I make a lot of money off of cover ups". I just left. Not going back there again

I got my first Tattoo back in 2012 from Tim and 11 tattoos later I am still going back. The entire place is top quality. For a place where you are going to be in pain for a few hours they make the enviorment so mellow and relaxing you forget everything. If your interested in getting ink done you should definitely give this place a try.
