Pete

I saw my first tattoo at age 6 and knew then this world was something I wanted to be a part of. In the summer of 2002 I got a job working the floor at Fun City Tattoo in Manhattan. From there I began a piercing career that lasted 7 years, that got me on TV doing piercings on MTV's TRL and Late Night with David Letterman. I was interviewed for several tattoo magazines and Time Out New York, and taught classes on piercing at international events. In the winter of 2010 I finished a tattoo apprenticeship at Painless Steel Tattoos in Queens, NY. From there I worked with several of New York's tattoo legends including Richie Montgomery and Pete Giaquinto. I spent some time working in Las Vegas, before coming home and settling here at Tattoo Seen in the fall of 2012.
