When French graffiti artist TILT told me he was coming to stay in NYC for a year I was excited to say the least. TILT is one of the sweetest, most talented people I have ever met. And even though his crazy ass spent more time traveling around the world painting walls and naked women (yes, your job does suck) I was still happy to know that Brooklyn was his home base for a while.

This weekend marked the official opening of Hope Gallery Tattoo, Joe Capobianco’s latest Mecca for Art and Tattoos located in New Haven, CT.

Do yourself a favor and go there NOW. Not only will your senses get overloaded with amazing art, but you’ll have the chance to get tattooed by some of the greatest artists in the industry (and also grab a drink at the bar, play Rock Band in the lounge, or watch a movie on the projector)
