Hey whats up from ny

[sora777]

Hey all nice to meet everyone? Im an east coast tattoo enthusiast, located in nyc. Only two real tattoos to talk about I have back piece done by tony ciavarro and leg sleeve done by jerry issel. Im just looking to learn about tattooing and just look for new ideas for new pieces. I would love to get an animal piece in the future so just looking for peoples opinions on tattoo artists.

Hey guys thanks for the welcome. Very nice traditional work Marley it looks great. Yea I have been looking into getting two half sleeves. I was thinking of going with Yomico Moreno I am impressed by his animal tattoos. I will post some pics of my tattoos shortly.

Welcome! Check out some of Mike Rubendall's work. Unfortunately he books around 2 years out, and he just opened his scheduling a few weeks back for 2016-2017, but all the work I've seen from the guys in his shop is great. King's Avenue Tattoo (they have a shop on the Bowery, and one on LI)
