Hugh_Bastard Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 So here's the idea.... My lovely fiancee and I are running away to Coney Island to get married... We are currently planning things, and realize that we are still missing a few details. We would like to get tattooed the same day, right after the wedding, and are looking for an artist that is proficient in traditional style tattooing. I figure since we are in Coney Island, this would also be a great time to visit some historical tattoo sites as well. If anyone can recommend an artist for us, we would be very grateful. We dont mind traveling abit, but we don`t want to stray too far from the area. Cheers.

Graeme Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 There are a ton of people who can do great traditional tattoos in Brooklyn. If you want to real traditional, you can get tattooed by Tony Polito or Mike Perfetto. Smith Street (in Carroll Gardens), Greenpoint Tattoo (Greenpoint), Flyrite Tattoo (Williamsburg), Hand of Glory (Park Slope) will all give you a great tattoo. Plenty of options available. suburbanxcore, cltattooing and Hugh_Bastard 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/4646-need-help-recommendations/#findComment-82493 Share on other sites More sharing options...
graybones Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I love the idea of getting tattooed to commemorate your wedding day. Graeme gave a great list. I'm not sure how close it is to Coney Island but Three Kings in Brooklyn is a great shop.

Cork Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I would second Smith Street. I didn't actually get tattooed by the guys there, but they are good and atmosphere is great.

Hugh_Bastard Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 I find it great that a few of you mentioned Smith st, I found out about them a few days ago, and have been very interested in the studio since. Thanks to everyone who has commented so far! Much appreciated!
