The people of Bushwick don’t have to travel far to get their next milestone or symbolic figure permanently etched into their skin. Gnostic Tattoo at The Loom opened its doors in October and is currently accepting tattoo addicts and other Bushwickians’ itching for ink.
I happened to be one of those ready to mark up their bodies, and Gnostic was the most fitting place as I wanted to stay in the lovely neighborhood of Bushwick. I recently left the great state of Texas and my first tattoo was meant to represent my journey from Texas to Bushwick. The state flower of Texas (a bluebonnet) is a classic Texan reminder to living and breathing in Bushwick today.
Gnostic Tattoo has already been gaining the reputation as the go-to place in Bushwick. Co-owner Leaf Chang, an artist and Boston native, has lived in New York for the past ten years and is excited to branch out by starting his own business.
