Greg is an amazing artist. I sent him a picture of what i was looking for an told him it was gonna be for a cover up tattoo. An he looked at where it was gonna be on my arm an altered the tattoo an turned it into something amazing and realistic which is 1000x better then the tattoo I wanted. The line work is awesome! An pricing was fair and he DID NOT over charge me. I most definitely recommend Red Moon Tattoo to my buddys.

On 11/14/2025 Paige Kral had this to say:
I got tattoos by John Dimitralias, and they were amazing! The whole area was super clean, I walked into the tattoo room and it smelled like antiseptic. I watched John open everything in front of me, and he switched his gloves quite a few times. He was super nice and talked with me through pretty much the whole appointment because I mentioned bantering with someone last time I got a tattoo helped distract me from the pain. He did a new tattoo on my shoulder which I'm in love with, and he redid one on my wrist. I'm finally happy with my wrist tattoo after a year of being upset about it! I plan on going back there again, he made the whole experience amazing.

Red Moon is a great shop! This is my 3rd time going here and every time it’s a great experience. John makes it really easily/accessible to schedule appointments by texting, and can get you in really quick. His pricing is great and the shop is always really clean! Big fan of this shop

FAQ

Do I need to make an appointment, or do you accept walk-ins?

We recommend booking an appointment to ensure availability, especially for custom tattoos or specific piercers. However, walk-ins are welcome when time permits—feel free to call ahead to check!

What should I do to prepare for my tattoo or piercing appointment?

Please arrive well-rested, hydrated, and having eaten a meal. Avoid alcohol or blood-thinning medications beforehand. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed or pierced.

How do I care for my new tattoo or piercing?

Aftercare is crucial! You’ll receive detailed instructions after your session, but generally, keep the area clean, avoid touching it with dirty hands, and stay out of pools or direct sunlight during healing. Contact us if you have any concerns.
