Scarlet Sinclair

“I’m a born and bred New Yorker. I went to art schools for as long as I can remember. Graduated from Pratt Institute and jumped the advertising ship almost as soon as I got on it. I live the life of a gypsy artist with a severely unsatiated wanderlust. I’ve caravanned with the fairies in French castles and danced around bonfires with the witches. I’ve performed on the burlesque stages of NYC and beyond for years and finally came back full circle to drawing, painting and ultimately tattooing. It’s good to be home.
My influences include Alfonse Mucha, Gil Elvgren, Frida Kahlo, Brian Froud and all things Victoriana. I love large scale work as well as the small, beautiful gems. I work at Twelve 28 Tattoo Wednesday-Saturday by appointment only. If you would like to discuss your tattoo ideas with me, send an email to scarlettattoos@gmail.com.”

“I grew up in Brooklyn, NY. I’ve drawn and painted all my life. I’ve been tattooing for six years now. From the start I’ve specialized in bold, new school color work, drawing inspiration from my background in painting. The work has taken me all over the world. As of now I’ve tattooed throughout the USA, Europe, and Asia. I always try to learn new styles, techniques, and philosophy towards the art form wherever I go.” Dorothy can be reached at dorothytattoos@gmail.com

Andrew Ferko

Andrew began tattooing in the fall of 1998 in eastern Ohio. After serving a very old school apprenticeship for 3 years, he moved back to his hometown, Wilkes-Barre, PA where he began tattooing at Marc’s Tattooing. There he stayed busy for the next 10 years, traveling the convention circuit, doing guest spots and generally raising hell. He moved to NY in 2009 with a new respect for his career, future and his sobriety. His interests include all forms of art, sculpture, indigenous peoples and cultures, weightlifting, yoga, and eating healthy. Manga, anime and comix combined with tattoo history and photo-realism is where he draws his inspiration for his designs. He enjoys traveling, eating with chopsticks, linework, animals, and conversations with strangers. He loves his wife, ’90s hip-hop, sunshine, fresh fruit and traditional Japanese tattoos.
