Hello to all in Flickr-land! My name is Mikey and I am a licensed tattoo artist in New York City, the greatest city in the world. I've been tattooing about six or seven years now. Though I've been doing it for quite a number of years, I have very little record of some of my earlier work because I never thought I could take tattooing for a living seriously.

Tattooing all began for me after my best friend convinced me to try it out one day. The more I tattooed, the more I was hooked to make it a major part of my life. I love working and I love checking out other's work as well.

I've been a licensed NYC tattoo artist since November 2009 and have been working at Dots NYC @ 16 St. Marks Place since January 2010. I work every day except Wednesdays. Stop in for a session or just to check out more work.

Feel free to browse the flickr account and let me know what you think!
