*Due to my hectic travel and appointment schedule, I'm not taking on NEW clients for a while... If you would like to get on a waiting list for a tattoo, please call 212-539-1953, and I will call you as soon as something becomes available. Clients with tattoos in progress will be scheduled as normal.
I get a lot of mail on MySpace, and it's very difficult for me to keep track of everything. I prefer to be contacted through our website, if possible. If I don't get back to you for a while, please write again.*
