How IGLÀ Began
Before opening IGLÀ in December 2023, Daria had been tattooing for about a year and a half. What she saw around her was simple: a lot of people, especially women and first-timers, felt out of place in classic New York tattoo shops. Heavy atmosphere, not much warmth, and the feeling that you were supposed to already know the rules.
So she looked to boutique studios in Europe, where the space, the conversation and the service matter just as much as the needle, and set out to build that in Manhattan. The result is a studio that’s beautiful, calm and friendly, and still serious about the work.
Daria also does the part nobody sees on Instagram: choosing the team. Every artist at IGLÀ is picked by her personally, and skill is only one piece of it. We look for real talent, of course, but also kindness, reliability and the ability to make a nervous first-timer feel at ease. Great service isn’t an add-on here. It’s part of the job description.
MEET DARIA BAIONE
Hi, I’m Daria Baione: artist, entrepreneur, and the owner of IGLÀ Tattoo Studio. More personally, I’m a mom to two incredible kids, and this studio is my third “baby,” born from a dream to create a space that truly feels like home.
Opening IGLA two years ago was a leap of faith. I wanted to build more than just a tattoo shop; I wanted to create a studio where artistry meets the warmth of a living room. As a woman-owned small business, I’m passionate about fostering an environment that is both empowering for artists and deeply respectful for clients. I know that the tattoos we create here are not just ink; they are milestones, memories, and pieces of personal history.
Every day, I’m inspired by the stories you bring in. Thank you for trusting us with your vision and for helping our small business flourish. We can’t wait to create with you.

Our Mission
IGLÀ was created as a more beautiful, safer and friendlier alternative to the traditional New York tattoo shop. Our mission is simple: make genuinely high-quality tattoos in a space where you feel safe, respected and a little bit pampered.
Tattoos aren’t an office job, so we don’t do stiff. But we do take the details seriously, from the way we design your piece to the way we say hello.

Who owns IGLÀ Tattoo Studio?
IGLÀ is a woman-owned small business founded by artist Daria Baione. The studio opened in December 2023 in Midtown Manhattan, and Daria personally chooses every artist on the team.
Is IGLÀ only a fine line studio?
Fine line is our signature, and it’s available with every artist. But we’re not limited to it. Our artists also do lettering, florals, microrealism, graphic and anime work, plus larger projects like sleeves. Color work is discussed individually with each artist.
Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?
Both work. Walk-ins are great for smaller pieces, and artists on walk-in duty are available 11 AM–7 PM. Our artists alternate between appointment and walk-in days, so message us to see who’s in. For larger or custom designs, we recommend booking ahead.
How much does a tattoo cost?
Our shop minimum is $150. The final price depends on the design, size, placement and detail, and your artist confirms it before you commit. We accept cash and cards.
How do deposits and rescheduling work?
Appointments need a deposit: $100 for small and medium pieces, $200 if the piece is quoted above $1,000, and $200–300 for groups of two or more. You can reschedule once, with at least 72 hours’ notice. Walk-ins don’t need a deposit.
I'm nervous about my first tattoo. What should I know?
You’re in good company, because a lot of our clients are first-timers. You’ll talk through the design with your artist first, you can bring one or two people for support, and no question is too small. You’ll need to be 18 or older with a valid photo ID.
