Veteran tattoo artist, Marcus Kuhn recently began producing "webisodes" exploring the tattoo scene in cities throughout the world. In this episode Kuhn discusses how the tattoo subculture emerged in New York City in the 30's and has evolved over time. Tracing the history of tattooing has led me to realize that like many other subcultures, tattooing in its truest form is the product of an urban environment. New York City has recently become some what of a focal point in the tattooing community. If you walk into any of the reputable shops in NYC you'll find artists from all over the world.
Enjoy!
