Inked in NYC

This weekend I took time to spot catchy tattoos and businesess in Downtown Manhattan. There's always great stuff to look at especially when it comes to Body Modification. New York City has an amazing amount of Tattoo businesess and the shops don't limit themselves to just tattoos.

Anything you want to do or add to your body can be found anywhere among the five boroughs, from scarification, implants and other things that normally one can't find just anywhere.

I'm always busy walking around the city as well as visiting other areas, states, etc. There is so much to talk about and many things to share. Each bourough in the city is full of amazing, talented and skilled artists in this field and the diversity can be broader that in many other states.

I recently got some fresh Ink and even though is the size of a quarter it is something I wanted to get tattooed on for a very long time. I'm not really into showing tattoos during the "ugly stage" of it and I rather to be patient and wait till it heals properly so I can proudly show it. I will keep you posted.

Spiky Lamp Posts

One thing I learned about New York City is that anything can be fun and turn into art as well. Looking at the lamp posts from a distance I was intrigued on finding out what was them decorated with. It was eye catching, super cool and looked awesome.

Once I got closer I realized it was made using the simplest thing on hand and I wondered how come no one ever thought about it before.

I stood there and had to take a few pictures so I can share a fun, cool and creative way of making the lamp posts appealing without having to re-design or try to go fancier to make them look better.

The Pictures were taken at Astor Place.

St. Marks - New York City

St. Marks is one of the best hangout areas in Downtown Manhattan. Here you can find plenty of everything for everyone, awesome bars, food places and clothing stores. When you visit the strip you will notice most people have something in common, appreciation for Body Art.

St. Marks have an eclectic selection of restaurant and food spots where you can pick a quick bite or sit at a table to have dinner alone or with friends. There is plenty of Vegetarian / Vegan Restaurants and quick bites as well.

One thing you will notice for sure is the endless amount of Tattoo / Piercing Parlors from start to end. This area has an interesting appeal all year round and people who live or work in the area are welcoming and pleasant.

It is a very relaxed and casual environment, totally inhibited where you can simply be yourself and don't have to worry about non-sense or fake impersonations of what the perfect everything should be, St. Marks is already perfect by being free spirited and open to reality.

Art can be anywhere, everything is surrounded by creativity and artistic vision, from a van full of graffiti to public art exhibits.
