Id been searching for an artist to capture Iron Maiden illustrations the way they Actually appear on the album covers. 98% of everything i saw online was horrible until i found GraveyardNYC. In their owner/head Tattooer Rubin Barahona, i found a passionate, hungry, and Off the Charts talent. The studio is immaculately clean, and run professionally and quite smoothly by the shop manager Nicki Lopez. They constantly checked in with me after sittings to make sure i was healing ok, had any questions. And finally, Rubins Animated Realism work is just unusually impressive. As a serious collector of over 25 years, i cant wait to head back to GraveyardNYC👍👍👍🔥
A really nicely appointed shop and great people. Szabla, Ruben, and Nikki are all super nice.I got tattooed by Szabla. Her style and her knack with color are just unreal, and the design she came up with for my piece is beautiful. Take a look at the pic, because I cant do it justice. Its a gorgeous piece of work.In short, Szabla is a fantastic artist and it was a truly excellent experience all around at Graveyard. I hope to be back for the next one.
For father’s day, I decided I wanted to gift my dad a nice tattoo. I was searching for a reputable tattoo artist/shop and came across Graveyard. Decided to book a tattoo with a guest artist named Max and he did an AMAZING JOB!!!! Everyone at the shop was soooo nice! My everyone at the shop made me and my dad feel so comfortable I didn’t even realize we were at the shop for 6 hours. Amazing work and quality. Already planning on coming back to fix up some of his tattoos. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Had the honor and pleasure of being tattooed by Szabla. She is an incredibly talented artist and a really cool person to be around. From the second I walked into Graveyard I felt fully comfortable. The entire Graveyard team is super friendly and welcoming. I HIGHLY recommend Szabla for your next tattoo and will be pointing everyone I know here.

2022-07-03Ruben is amazing! My husband got his first tattoo at GraveyardNYC and we cannot recommend their team enough! Nikki was prompt and responsive and helped us every step of the way leading up to the tattoo appointment.Ruben was incredibly creative and helped our idea come to life in the best possible way. He had so many cool ideas and walked us through everything he was doing. His work is clearly incredible and speaks for itself! Everyone at Graveyard tattoo was super friendly and made us feel so welcome. The studio is immaculate. They totally went above and beyond our expectations and created a beautiful portrait tattoo. We will be back!

2022-05-17Everyone is friendly, personable, and it creates a welcoming no pressure atmosphere where you feel like your chatting with a skilled friend about your tattoo.Nikki is thoughtful and cordial. When you walk in hes the first person who greets you and makes you feel welcomed.My artist was Szabla. She took her time to listen, and help me work out a design that I believe was exactly what I wanted. I was a bit intimidated, however, her repose combined with her willingness to alter her initial design made me feel comfortable. Im thankful for the atmosphere she created as it allowed me to freely express myself and together (i.e. her awesome skills) we created a tattoo that I Love.Oh Yeah Nikki offered to get me something from the Deli, I appreciate that as he was making a run for his crew he asked everyone in the store. What a Chill Place!

2020-07-08My favorite part of the entire process after being tattooed by Ruben twice now has been the consultation. Ruben not only sees the vision I had in mind for the tattoos and what they represent but he takes it up a notch adding a dimension of creativity that leaves me amazed. I am confident that whenever I give Ruben my idea for a tattoo he will elevate it and give me something even better than I could ever hope for.Ruben is incredibly professional, keeping a clean and sterile work environment and his dedication to the craft is second to none. He makes himself available, guiding you on choices regarding the tattoo and the healing process afterwards.I of course would recommend to anyone looking for a tattoo be it color or black and grey to reach out to ruben and the artists at Graveyard NYC, I myself will continue to go to Ruben for all my tattoos.

2019-07-08Totally recommend Ruben to anyone looking for an eye-catching tattoo! After following for his Instagram as a fan for so long, I finally got the nerve to email into his shop to get a beautiful art piece of my own. From consultation to post-care, Ruben was extremely helpful every step of the way. First, his assistant replied super quick and got all the necessary information. Next, Ruben sat with my personally for almost 3 hours collaborating with me on the layout of my piece (both him and I are huge Dali fans so this worked out wonderfully)! On tattoo day, he was super accommodating, assistant ordered lunch so I didn’t have to wander the neighborhood, and Ruben took appropriate breaks throughout the long sit-down. Ruben also had Netflix up to distract so we went through a few documentaries, The Matrix, and Dumb & Dumber! With aftercare, I texted with him everyday with updates for a week until it was properly healed! In all, I couldn’t recommend Ruben enough! This was my sixth tattoo and by far my best experience in any shop. He is pro at what he does and makes you feel informed and secure the whole way though.

2021-07-24I had a fantastic experience with Ruben, My tattoo came out better than I imagined when I came into the shop. The creative process was super in depth and really affirmed my expectation of custom artwork. I felt confident no matter what direction we took the tattoo he was going to knock it out the park. Would definitely recommend. 11/10

2020-07-09Had an amazing first tattoo experience with Ruben the consultation was one of my favorite parts due to the fact that he really cares for the persons tattoo and whatever idea/photo you bring to him you WILL see the creative genius come out of him! Ruben did such detail on my tattoo and really took his time with it all, showing that he really valued my tattoo which I’m truly grateful for. I will solely finish my tattoos strictly with Ruben because he really cared for my tattoo and brought what I wanted alive. Plus he was an amazing person just to talk too!

2021-02-10This has been the best experience I had for my first big piece . Honestly I have received so many complements for the work I’ve gotten done here . Ruben has been the best in taking care of me , along with his partner in crime Nikki both are a epic Duo!!. They are very clean professional , And we even exchanged a few good laughs . They also have TVs with a wide range of movies and shows that you could browse and watch during your session . Overall you will have a good time here and be well taken care of . Thank you guys I definitely will be coming back I appreciate the work that you guys do .

2019-12-29Ruben is an insanely talented artist and I could not recommend him enough. I had been searching for months for the right artist to do a memorial portrait of my sister and Ruben totally nailed it. He put so much time into delivering the perfect tattoo and its very clear that he cares deeply about his work. I will definitely be going back to him in the future.
