InstaLove: Bang Bang NYC

Here at MC we love tattoos-almost all of our staff has at least one-so today we're showing some Instagram love to Bang Bang Tattoo in New York City! Bang Bang Tattoo was started in Autumn of 2014 by Keith "Bang Bang" McCurdy after he spent a decade tattooing all over New York City. Despite being less than two years old, Bang Bang Tattoo is one of the most famous tattoo studios in the world and employs some of the most talented artists in the world. This might have to do with the fact that McCurdy has made a name for himself as the tattoo artist to the rich and famous; he has inked Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and Cara Delevingne, just to name a few!  

If you're looking for tattoo inspiration then this account is for you. Each piece created by the Bang Bang artists is a work of art and will make even the most tattoo shy want some ink.

The BangBangNYC account posts pictures from all of the Bang Bang tattoo artists but each artist also has their own account as well. As with all art, you're going to be drawn to certain artist styles over others and below are my favorite Bang Bang artists:
