Bang Bang Tattoo New York Price List 2025
Bang Bang Tattoo is one of the most iconic tattoo studios in the USA, founded by celebrity tattoo artist Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy in New York City. Known for ultra-detailed custom tattoos, it’s a go-to for celebrities like Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and Cara Delevingne. With world-class artists and a luxury studio atmosphere, it offers a premier experience for tattoo enthusiasts.

Bang Bang Tattoo was founded in 2009 by Keith McCurdy, famously known as “Bang Bang,” who began his career tattooing in Delaware before moving to New York City. His big break came when he tattooed Rihanna, who later had “Bang Bang” tattooed on her ankle — inspiring the studio’s name. Since then, McCurdy has become one of the most recognizable figures in the global tattoo scene.
Located in Lower Manhattan, and later expanded to a second Bang Bang 2.0 studio, the brand quickly became a celebrity favorite, hosting clients like Katy Perry, LeBron James, Odell Beckham Jr., and Selena Gomez. The studio is known for its luxury atmosphere, one-on-one artist sessions, and emphasis on photo-realism, fine-line work, micro tattoos, and bold illustrative designs.
Bang Bang Tattoo has elevated tattoo artistry to a new standard, blending fine art, cutting-edge technology, and world-renowned talent. Artists are carefully selected for their skill, style, and ability to collaborate with clients to create meaningful, high-quality body art.
