Tattoo Portfolio
Hi, I’m Ruben Barahona—a tattoo artist with 14 years of experience, based in New York City. I own a private studio called GraveyardNYC, and I also work one week each month in Spokane, Washington, at Anchored Art.
Thank you for visiting my website and considering me for your next tattoo.
Every piece I create begins with a conversation. We’ll go over your ideas, placement, design direction, and I’ll answer any questions you have to make sure we’re aligned.
I work across multiple tattoo styles, always aiming to create something meaningful and one-of-a-kind.
If my work speaks to you, fill out the form to request a consultation.
I look forward to working together.

Horror and Dark Art
Here are some samples of some custom pieces on the subject matter I enjoy the most horror, I like to combine structures from my imagination to ensure flow and fit in the customers body.












































Realistic
I also specialize on portraits and realistic work, I have a painterly approach which comes from my academic background.

























Comics
I love mixing comics and realistic work to create a signature look, bright, high contrast long lasting tattoos.








Music Tattoos
I love heavy metal music, i’m know for making Iron Maiden pieces, and other music inspired tattoos, if you share the same passion for music you will feel right at home at Graveyardnyc.













Black and Gray
I also known for my black and gray realistic style, I enjoy portraits and compositions that tell your story.
