Licensing
 
  License
I'm licensed by the City of New York Department of Health (Lic #0972764) and have been a licensed practitioner since tattooing was legalized in 1995. I have also successfully completed the education in OSHA, bloodborne pathogens standard #29CFR1910.1030, certificate #122628870533.

Health & Safety
I do all of my own sterilizing and disposal of used caps and needles, in accordance with NYC/NYS health regulations. All clients get a new, sterile, single use setup and this is disposed of immediately after the masterpiece is completed.

  Technique
For those who are interested, I use old style rotary tattoo machines and round needles exclusively (tight 3s, 5 rounds, 7 rounds, 14 rounds, 18 rounds, 42 and 100 rounds). The combination of a rotary machine and a round needle results in significantly reduced discomfort to the client and an almost complete elimination of the scary and annoying buzzing sound. The result is a subtle yet vibrant tattoo with less epidermal damage, ending with an extremely quick healing time.
