Clayton Patterson and his wife Elsa began to document and nurture the culture, art and personalities of illegal, underground New York City tattooing during the mid-1980s. This is the record of their important effort.
“In the Shadows- The People’s history of New York City Underground Tattooing” documents the diversity of voices and images of the irrepressible New York City tattoo community that together represented the art and culture of tattooing that refused to go away during the “Shadow Years”. - Michael McCabe 2023
