A 42-year veteran of tattooing, Jon Whitman's influences and personality reflect the early traditions of the trade.  A Bronx native, Jonny studied art at the Art Students League of Lower Manhattan, but it was inking on paper alongside his father, Golden-age comic artist Maurice Whitman, where he found his love for comic art that lead to an unexpected niche in life.  After an explosives accident as a teen resulted in the loss of his left hand, his continuation of art study under his father's mentorship and encouragement from his peers led to the pursuit of tattooing, a career that has served him very well.  

Rachel Eleanor Brown began tattooing at the age of 20, after studying art at Parsons the New School for Design in Manhattan.  She received her training under Jon Whitman beginning in 2011 and has gratefully continued to absorb an education by those who have paved the way.  With her love of historical context and time-honored tradition, she vows to continue making a positive mark!
