Big Joes & Sons Tattoo & Body Piercing
193 Mamaroneck Ave, White Plains; 914.644.8222
Give it up for Westchester’s oldest tattoo parlor. For more than 50 years, this family-owned and -operated shop has been a mainstay for tattoos in the 914. Big Joe Kaplan opened the original shop just outside of Mount Vernon in 1969, less than a decade after the New York City tattoo ban of 1961. Three of the artists are second- and third-generation tattoo artists who have been tattooing for more than 20 years, specializing in American traditional, cover-ups, Japanese, and black-and-gray traditional styles. The shop even carries a full line of vegan tattoo inks, available upon request.
