*SPOTLIGHT* BLACK INK TATTOOS: Bringing it UPTOWN - HARLEM EDITION

I walked into this establishment on the most absolute perfect of summer days about 2yrs back on a whim that I would walk out with my master tat I had been designing in my head over a 5yr stint. But to my surprise as I hoped BLACK INK TATTOOS was not just another Cracker Jack stencil hole in the wall.

Down 4 concrete stairs in the midst of a Harlem block I stepped into the officialality of Black Ink.

I was greeted by a dark toned brother whose personality and smile popped; all of which gives you the feel of someone you know or grew up with. Staffed with diverse management and artist with and intimate knowledge and network of “The Business” as it relates to media, arts, and culture and transcends to the city streets and boardroom offices, the draw lending to its eclectic mix of clients… And so began my love affair with BLACK INK.

An advate fan of the intimate spot you get the feel you can breeze through anytime to catch a great piece of ink by some of the best artist on an NYC block, a "What-up!" or just the explicit vibe of some of the most bangin "Tat Parties" and "Exclusive Art Gallery Events" of established and upcoming artist. You can always expect that bit more @ Black Ink.
