FINELINE TATTOOS

Fineline Tattoo by Duncan
Fineline Tattoo by Big Steve
Fineline Tattoo by Mina Aoki
Fineline tattoos are all about precision and subtlety. Using delicate needlework and careful shading, our artists create pieces that feel airy, minimal, and highly detailed. From ornamental motifs and geometric patterns to fine lettering and botanical drawings, this style is perfect if you’re looking for something understated yet striking. At Fun City, we’ve carved out a reputation in NYC for fineline tattoos that hold their sharpness and flow with the body. Walk in with an idea, and we’ll bring it to life with clean, thoughtful execution

TRADITIONAL TATTOOS NYC

Traditional Rose by Noah Drysdale
Traditional Bird by Alberto Lelli
At Fun City Tattoo, traditional tattoos have been part of our DNA since the 1970s. Bold lines, strong shading shading, solid black and a timeless color palette(often red, green, yellow, and blue) make this style instantly recognizable. From skulls and eagles to daggers, roses, and pin-up figures, American traditional tattoos are built to last a lifetime. 

Our artists keep the spirit of classic tattooing alive while adding their own edge, giving you work that stands out among the competition. Whether you’re looking for flash off the wall or a custom piece rooted in tradition, Fun City is one of the best spots in NYC for traditional tattoos.

BLACK AND GRAY TATTOOS NYC

Black and Gray Scalp Tattoo by Duncan
Black and Gray suit by Mina Aoki
Black and Gray grim reaper by Ryan E
Using only black ink thinned to create gradients, our artists can achieve everything from soft, smoky shading to sharp, photorealistic detail. Black and gray is classic and timeless.

This style works beautifully for portraits, religious imagery, animals, or large-scale custom projects. Fun City has some of the best black and gray tattoo artists in New York City, blending technical skill with creativity to produce tattoos that feel powerful and personal. Whether small or full sleeve, black and gray is always a strong choice.

JAPANESE TATTOOS NYC

Japanese Style Torso by Mina Aoki
Japanese Style Sleeve by Lango
Japanese Style by Simone Sorbi
Japanese tattooing is one of the most respected traditions in the world, known for its bold imagery, storytelling, and flowing compositions that move with the body.

Full sleeves , backpieces, and bodysuits often depict mythological figures like dragons, oni (demons), and hannya masks, alongside natural motifs such as koi, peonies, chrysanthemums, and crashing waves. Japanese tattooing style has spread across the globe, with artists learning traditional methods and applying their own style.

At Fun City, our artists honor the visual language of Japanese tattooing, while adapting the vision to the client’s needs. For those seeking Japanese style tattooing in NYC, Fun City provides both respect of the tradition and the skill to make it custom.

        “Fun City is a great shop. The artists specialize in a range of styles and they really take care of their clients. They're ready for you before you get there- especially if you have an appointment. They are knowledgable, skillful, fun, and I am a repeat client. I took my son here for his first shop experience. He had such a blast. Big Steve and the FC Team are a class act. Thank you to them and Cheers!”

        “I was told by others how great Jesus Antonio was, so I decided to get my 7th tattoo from him. He outdid my expectations! Not only is he an artist, he's a nice guy to sit with for 2 hours. Fun City Tattoo was welcoming, funky, with a great vibe. I highly highly recommend getting your first, or next, tattoo there!”

        “This was my second time getting a tattoo with Ryan at Fun City, and it was a great experience! Getting my appointment scheduled was easy and the shop was very communicative. Everyone at the shop is very welcoming. Ryan is an amazing tattoo artist and I would recommend him to anyone. I had a lot of peace of mind returning to this shop, knowing I would get quality work with the aesthetic that I like. Fun City is 10/10”
