White Rabbit Tattoo Studio

On Essex Street in the Lower East Side, White Rabbit Tattoo Studio gives its resident artists room to work without a house style. Styles named include traditional and neo-traditional, realism and portraiture in black and grey or full color, blackwork and geometric pieces, watercolor, Japanese and irezumi, and fine line and minimalist work. Walk-ins are welcome whenever an artist is free, though appointments are recommended for custom work, larger pieces or a chosen artist. Deposits go toward the final cost of the tattoo.
