I've been going to R&D's for over ten years now. I dont even think of it as a tattoo parlor,I think of them as friends. Just a great group of guys,who happen to be great tattoo artists. No gimmicks,and no bull. Just an authentic NYC style tattoo parlor that does great work and charge great prices. Highly recommended.
Review Source:R&D is a great old school NY shop and have had Richie Fie do a number of tattoos for me, all of which came out awesome. He has done both simple lettering pieces and complicated half sleeve pieces (koi fish & griffin) and his mastery is top notch. He knows his business, AND the history behind it. No, the shop doesn't look like something on a pseudo-reality show about tattooing, and thanks god! Come here to get good tattoos done well by artists that know what they are doing and care about the real tradition of NYC tattooing.
