Eddie Stabz<br />

How long have you been a<br />

tattoo artist?<br />

10 years<br />

Do you remember the first<br />

tattoo that you ever done?<br />

Yeah... The first tattoo I ever<br />

did was of a stitched up wound<br />

on my left forearm. Super fun.<br />

How would you describe your<br />

tattooing style?<br />

Versatile. I pretty much tattoo<br />

whatever walks through the<br />

door. Of course I also like to<br />

collaborate on custom projects<br />

with clients. Definitely want to<br />

focus more on horror.<br />

What is the secret to achieving<br />

such detail in your tattoos?<br />

Sight. Focusing on emulating as much from an image onto<br />

flesh.<br />

Where is the most difficult place for you to tattoo someone?<br />

Haven’t had much difficulties, but I would say armpits.<br />

How may tattoos do you currently have?<br />

20 maybe.<br />

Did you do any of them yourself?<br />

Yep. Stitched up wound.<br />

Do your friends let you tatt them up for practice?<br />

I’ll tattoo fellow artist at the shop from time to time.<br />

How do you feel about drunk people getting<br />

tattooed?<br />

I feel they should sober up<br />

and make decisions like<br />

getting a tattoo when they<br />

are not inebriated.<br />

What is the most bizarre<br />

tattoo you have ever put on<br />

someone?<br />

I tattooed a demon face on<br />

woman’s vagina before. May<br />

appear bizarre for some.<br />

What tattoo artists, if any,<br />

do you draw inspiration<br />

from?<br />

Elliot Kohek, Yarson tattoo,<br />

Steve Butcher, David Vega,<br />

Bryan Merck and sooo many<br />

others.<br />

What’s the secret to being a great tattoo artist?<br />

Consistency and focus.<br />

Who is your favorite tattoo artist?<br />

Eddie Stabz haha<br />

For a first timer, where should they not get a tattoo if they<br />

want to avoid a lot of pain?<br />

Ribs.<br />

Words of advice for anyone that wants to become a tattoo<br />

artist?<br />

Draw, work hard and hustle!<br />

Where can we get inked by you and see more of your work?<br />

I work in Brooklyn. Crown Ink Studio.- 559 Nostrand Ave.<br />
