[title]In life, there are few things you can’t afford to take chances on. And if you’re looking to get something inked onto your skin that will literally last forever, you’re going to want to make the right choice. Tattoos can boost your confidence, make you feel comfortable in your skin, and can sometimes be life-changing. First Class Tattoo has quickly made its mark in the NYC industry as a go-to inking destination, here’s why.
So if you’re looking to make the jump, go somewhere where the tattoo artists know what they’re doing. And at First Class Tattoo, they sure do. The NYC tattoo studio, found at 52 Canal Street, exclusively hires artists who specialize in their niche. These are artists who have extensive education – First Class’ color realism specialist has worked on their craft for 16 years; their trash polka expert for 20. In fact, artists here regularly attend workshops, and conventions, and constantly learn more about their craft so they can always do their best.
This kind of craft takes years to perfect. The artists experimented for a long time to be able to pride themselves on high-quality materials (and come sponsored by some of the top tattoo supply companies around), so their tattoos look beautiful and importantly withstand the ol’ test of time. Specialties vary from trash polka to watercolor, color realism, black and gray realism, and fine line. You can check out its ever-popular Instagram page, 100k+ followers strong, for all the artists’ latest work, as well as the website which is filled with helpful info.
But don’t worry. Tattoo studios can historically be a little intimidating, but this isn’t one of those do-you-even-tattoo-bro kinds of studios. If you’re looking to enquire about your first ever inking, or you’ve never heard of trash polka in your life, you won’t get turned away at the door. First Class caters to the tattoo novices amongst us as well as the lifelong experts, priding itself on inclusivity and fun. The artists see tattoos as a collaboration, working together with the artist and client.
First Class is keen to bring tattoo knowledge to the masses as well as actually tattooing them. Its website goes into the history and techniques of all of its designs and features facts on everything from aftercare to how to get inspiration for your next tat. Hint: It’s not from your break-up, or from six cocktails. So if you take a visit, you won’t just leave looking as fire as the inked-up people in First Class’ Instagram stories, you might even learn a little something.
