About Inked NYC
Inked NYC is a premier Manhattan tattoo studio and gallery, established by the founders of Inked Magazine. After publishing over 100 issues featuring celebrity artists, models, and musicians, we set out to create a 360° Inked experience for tattoo enthusiasts.
For years, our New York headquarters has been a favorite for celebrity clientele, including Post Malone, 50 Cent, and Nick Cannon, who have trusted our artists for their ink.
Now, it’s your turn to experience the best of New York City’s tattoo scene. Step into our studio and let our world-class tattoo artists bring your vision to life.
What is Inked?
Inked Studios are an elevated tattoo and piercing concept that originated from the global community of Inked Magazine. Founded in 2000, Inked Magazine has evolved under new ownership into a brand that embodies class, sophistication, and luxury while showcasing some of the world’s most talented tattoo and piercing artists.
With access to unparalleled talent, we knew that the physical studios needed to reflect the quality and aesthetic that the Inked community has come to know and love. Our vision was to create spaces that felt more like modern art galleries — edgy, refined, and elevated — while staying true to the essence of Inked’s bold identity.
When we acquired Inked Studios, we made it our mission to meet and exceed those expectations. Each studio is thoughtfully designed to provide not only top-tier artistry but also an unforgettable experience that resonates with our clientele.
Through this collaboration between Inked Magazine and Inked Studios, we’ve seamlessly merged the world of cutting-edge tattoo culture with a sophisticated, upscale environment — setting a new standard for the industry.
