So there are some of the travelers. I hardly saw any of them around Tompkins this summer and wondered if even they were over the East Village.

I think the peolpe who complain about the way everything is here now should join up with the crusties. Then they could talk all the time about how everything sucks everywhere.

On the one hand: super-gross. On the other hand: smart people are investing in firms that are developing cutting-edge tattoo removal technologies. Tattoo regret is the future, folks, and fortunes will be made.

My grandparents used to tell me I'd regret my tattoos. 30+ years later it hasn't happened.

I regret every tattoo I see, can't wait until the weather gets colder when legs, chest, arms and hopefully necks are covered. If you consider them art then you are open to critique.

Self righteous, self appointed, judge of all. Douchebag. Kind of like if we followed your sad ass around and judged you hairstyles and clothing. Just as wrong as racism. Get a life. These dirtbags are as wrong as you, but for different reasons.

What people do with their own skin is none of your business and has no impact on your quality of life whatsoever. Get back to your TV Land marathon.
I saw these same people, plus a few more, hanging out in front of an open store on Avenue C this morning. "Open" meaning open for business. I've never seen that before.

These are some of the Crusties as in Crusty Bums. A nasty lot and not necessarily peaceful at all. I know an easy going east villager who had his face rearranged for looking the wrong way at one of them.

Where are the animal rights people? Guess its easier to protest fun wearers than rescue dogs and cats from these people. Better get those animals now before they head to their winter destination. These types of crusties are relatively new. They showed up when the ev became safer and whiter. They aren't going to the Bronx or big chunks of Brooklyn. Too hardcore for them.

People can do what they want with their skin but a sidewalk tattoo shop is a little too close to the edge for me. The problem is that all though the tattoo is yours, the Hep B you develop has the potential to be mine if we ever come in contact, even second-hand contact.Also, for y'all who are always bitching about how we need to support local businesses, this is taking business away from the artist who rents a shop, pays their taxes and observes health and sanitary requirements (like not working off a skanky sidewalk).

Hey im just giving the honest opinion of a kid who grew up here born to working people, who cant stay because of a financial oppression happening, and if you dont want to be seen as part of that, why shit on these people when the ones causing the real suffering in this city are so protected? Seems like an easy cheap shot
EVG reader Uncle Pete sends this photo along from East 10th Street and First Avenue… where a traveling tattoo artist tapped into the lamp post to run the tattoo gun...
