Mike Pastore knows ink. As owner/operator of
Masterpiece Tattoo, Pastore is an
award-winning tattoo artist whose work has been featured in
virtually every major tattoo magazine and web site in America.
In less than five
years since opening his Staten Island studio, Pastore has emerged as a rising talent on
the ultra-competitive New York scene, most recently honored with
an award at the annual New York City Tattoo Convention for his
provocative "Black and Grey" renderings.
At
a time when high-volume tattoo emporiums are springing up across the country,
Masterpiece Tattoo's Mike Pastore is an exception to the rule, a
throw-back with an intense attention to detail and a
dedication to artistic integrity that has enabled him to build a fiercely loyal
following, one piece at a time.
