Tattoo Shops in Midtown & Times Square, NY

The tattoo shops of Midtown & Times Square lean toward walk-ins, fine line work and souvenir-sized pieces, all in New York County (Manhattan). The page carries 22 shops, and the ones with the longest review histories are mostly places where you can come in without booking. Times Square Tattoo is a walk-in studio owned by Tommy, who has more than 30 years of experience, and it welcomes small New York souvenir tattoos as well as custom work for visitors and locals.

Fine line is the style that comes up most.
