Darren Rosa of Rising Dragon Tattoos
While going to the tattoo convention in White Plains NY I ran into Darren Rosa who owns Rising Dragon Tattoos in Manhattan. For perspective tattoos through the nineteen sixties were primarily adorned only by sailors, soldiers, criminals and bikers and there were strong negative social connotations about wearing them. Many of the tattoos that were done were often crudely done by whose artistic talents was dubious at best with ones that were done in prison were often the worst in terms of artistic quality. However going into the nineteen sixties through eighties many new innovating artists many with formal artistic training started getting into the trade raising by quantum levels the quality of tattoo artwork. One of those new innovating artists back in the eighties pushing the level of quality was Darren who founded Rising Dragon Tattoos which became on of the first big new shops when tattooing became legal again in NYC back in 1997 and he has given me five very awesome tattoos which I still get praise from people to this day.
