Written By Mehai Bakaty

Mehai Bakaty talks about his father, Mike Bakaty, and his transition from fine artist to tattooer in New York in the 1970s when tattooing was still illegal in the city. This was recorded at the book launch at Kings Avenue Tattoo for "In The Shadows - The People's History Of NYC Underground Tattooing" by Clayton Patterson and published by Tribal Publishing.
