There are many towns in this world where getting a tattoo seems particularly perfect. That is, if one is looking for a tattoo, because it’s not for everyone, although there are more and more people these days, from all walks of life, getting inked. The towns that have the biggest urban scenes are usually the ones that seem to have the most appeal for getting new designs drawn on the body. That puts New York at the top of the list, very likely. Because it does have the reputation of being the best city in the world, and that’s a reputation that’s sometimes even considered by those who don’t live there, it’s a perfect place to get a tattoo, or at least get to know the scene a little bit.
Some of the best artists and designers in the world are pulled by the magnetic attractions going on here, so one could reasonably expect that New York tattoo artists might have a good reputation. They certainly do. There are lists of the best in the city, and the list is growing all the time. Scott Campbell seems to make it on most of the lists, as does Anil Gupta . There are dozens more, including Stephanie Tamez, whose move from graphic design to skin art has put her in the rising star spotlight.
If you do happen to be on the lookout, thinking it would be a cool thing indeed to get your mark made here in NYC, then it’s a very good idea to plan ahead. It’s certainly possible to look at the selection online from the comfort of your luxury hotel , but getting in on the same day is virtually impossible. Even with the best connections.
These artists, and the best studios, are usually booked way in advance. They can also be pretty pricey, where some artists might charge around 100 dollars an hour, these folks can earn upwards of 200-300, or even more, depending on the circumstances. However, planning ahead when it comes to permanent art is always a good idea, because haste can open the doors to regret, but a little hesitation and some thought can lead to a work of art that you will love for the rest of your life.
