As a jaded Manhattanite, I am all about convenience - I rarely commute. Yet, i just returned from Stroudsburg PA with another tattoo done by my favorite tattooer, Meryl. Even years later, the vivid coloration and complexity of her work turns heads regularly. My most recent piece was located in a traditionally difficult spot (chest/sternum), but Meryl's lighthanded touch made it bearable. The great, wacky conversation and comfortable shop vibe are the icing on the cake.

     Tattoo by Meryl - PRICELESS!
