What's Your New York City Tattoo?
from All Of It with Alison Stewart · host WNYC
Recent studies show that about one third of Americans have tattoos. But did you know that the modern tattoo was really born here in New York? We discuss the history of tattooing, and specifically the history of New York-themed tattoos, with the curators behind a new exhibit at the City Reliquary Museum and Civic Organization. Dave Herman, founder of the City Reliquary, and Michelle Myles, owner of the Daredevil Tattoo Shop, join us to discuss "Liberty the Tattooed Lady: The Great Bartholdi Statue as Depicted in Tattooing." Plus, we take calls from listeners about their New York City-themed tattoo. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
