What's to say, these guys are awesome. I got an armband of Van Gogh's Starry Night put seamlessly around my forearm by Darren who was so enthusiastic about the whole project. As nervous as I was I felt really assured by his confidence. Other members of the staff was friendly and I couldn't help but notice how clean everything was, tough job for a big shop! I have other tattoos planned and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

i have 3 small tattoos, and i was shopping around for a good shop in nyc to get my first big custom piece. i have heard about rising dragon and since they were in union square, i went on my lunch break to check it out. well, after checking the portfolios, i picked an italian artist named Simone because his work seemed to pop out the most. now i am in the process of getting a huge, colorful piece and i couldn't be more pleased. his design way exceeded my expectations. and the colors...wow! i get so many compliments and its not even halfway done. this guy is really professional and he really made me feel very comfortable... a real gentleman. my girlfriend just checked the rising dragon site and Simone now has his own website so please check it out @ www.simonelubrani.com...you will see what i mean. his work is really solid and you really can see my tattoo from down the block. an amazing experience with rising dragon and Simone, i can't wait until summer to show off his work. a great shop with great artists, very clean, friendly,and professional. Thank you Rising Dragon and Simone Lubrani!!!

My boyfriend and I went to Darren two weeks ago. My boyfriend had a tattoo of a large rose on his arm but the tattoo was 44 years old. It had lost all it's color, the lines were thick and it was washed out looking. He wanted to cover it, which we knew would be difficult and wanted to make sure that the cover up be done by someone who had a lot of experience, talent and loved tattooing. After much research, we decided Rising Dragon was our choice. We spoke to Darren and decided he was the perfect person to do the job of a perfect cover up. Well, Darren did an AMAZING job. You can't tell where the old tattoo was on my boyfriend's arm. He has another appointment with Darren next month and he's looking forward to Darren's creativity again. The atmosphere is friendly, everything is clean and the people at Rising Dragon are very talented and creative. If you're thinking about a tattoo, THEY'RE THE BEST.

Darren Rosa is highly recommended for any tattoo's. My husband recently got a portrait done by him and it could not have been done any better.
