CONTENT Tales & Photos

Author Peter Caruso visits over a dozen shop owners, artists, and customers, relating Brooklyn's 20th-century tattoo history through biographies of New York City's toughest borough's tattoo artists. Long before hipsters called Brooklyn home, tattoo legends like Tony Polito, Mikey Perfetto, Marcus Pacheco, and Ronnie Dell’Aquila set long-lasting trends from the '50s on and gave young artists hope in this often unforgiving town. This incredible collection of stories and photos deserves a place in any tattoo historian's library!
