There are 7 episodes so far and each gives a sense of the place it’s filmed in: New York, Austin, San Diego, San Francisco, London, Paris and Japan.
Featuring great people and exceptional tattoos, Marcus says the message of the videos is “human interaction… that moment together that is most important. Too often we miss the real highlights of being here…” We want to introduce you to each of the videos, one by one. Today… here is New York City, featuring interviews with tattoo artists Thomas Hooper and Virginia Elwood.
