Manhattan Artists…Tattoo Artists, That Is
Manhattan is a city of art. There is art in our iconic skyline, on the sprayed walls of abandoned buildings, and even on the people themselves. These personal paintings that ornament the limbs of New Yorkers tell stories. These stories of loss, passion, or rebirth are only half of the picture, the other half is found in those who hold the needle. Tattooing takes a love of art, of people and hand cramps, but when these tattooers leave the shop for the night they know that they have added to the cityscape. Next time you’re walking through the city that never sleeps, pop your head inside a side street tattoo parlor and discover all of the personality, talent, passion, and history New York’s tattoo shops have to offer.
