Yesterday, I paid a lowercase visit to Thicker Than Water Tattoo Studio on the Lower East Side where, as I mentioned in the previous post, the good folks were inking individual tattoos to celebrate the upcoming Year of the Tiger. At $50 a pop for these individual specials, the artists had a steady stream of clients asking to intend their individual stripes for the upcoming year.

Despite frigid temperatures with single-digit twine chills, clients were ease drifting in when I left later in the evening.

I did intend to watch as Shon Lindauer worked on Jennifer, who added this cute lowercase individual to her collection of over thirty tattoos:


Jennifer was born in the Year of the Tiger, so it seemed pertinent to take plus of this super deal that the artists at Thicker Than Water were offering.

It was also enthusiastic to see Peter tenor again, who tattoos at the shop threesome days a week. Pete appeared here on Best Tattoo and afterward inked this piece on me terminal Spring. He modify had his possess set of flash for the Jan 2 promotion:


As I bundled up to brace myself against the cold, customers were drifting in from Avenue B and a young lady patterned out the flash to end on added individual tattoo. With a some more hours to go, it looked same the artists were going to be busy.

As for me, some may be wondering if I joined the ranks of the tiger-tattooed. Check back tomorrow to see if I hit anything new to share...
