Hey everyone, Adal here, owner of Majestic Tattoo NYC. As many of y’all may know, I’ve taken several years off the tattoo convention circuit in an effort to raise my son in a more hands-on fashion.
But I’m excited to announce that I’ll be working in the Inkmasters Row at the 11th Baltimore Tattoo Arts Convention by Villain Arts on May 4 – May 6, 2018 at the Baltimore Convention Center.
I’ll still have appointments available for the convention and am looking for interesting projects to take on. I’m currently working with colorful, geometric and abstract forms (and as always, fractals). See my portfolio for more information.

We consider ourself a moderately priced tattoo shop; we don’t have rigid pricing and price everything by the project. We do realize tattoos can be a high-ticket – even luxury – item in today’s economy, and to show our appreciation to those individuals who serve a crucial role in our society, we offer an extra consideration in the way of a discount to the following individuals.
As some of you may already know, Adal experienced a bike accident on a rental bicycle during his trip to Detroit for the Movement electronic music festival. Upon returning to New York, Adal consulted top orthopedic surgeons, as his hands are the primary source of his artistic live pursuit. He was told that he had broken his fifth metacarpal and on Friday, June 13, he had his first ever surgery in which bone-realigning pins were inserted into his hand. Unable to tattoo during a recovery period of four weeks, he is attempting to allot his time and energy into expressing artistic visions he’s held inside since demand for his tattoo artworks has filled his schedule.
The Abstracted Hands 2014 series is his expression of those ideals Adal has harbored: the abstract vision and the story of the art world. Your interest in this series at this time would be really beneficial to us, as Adal’s self-employed status combined with his post-surgical rehabilitation have had an unexpected, negative financial impact. As opposed to pleading for assistance, Adal has taken the time to create these prints and offer them to those within our social circles.
Please take the time to view these works. To purchase a limited edition print, as these will be limited to 100 items on a variety of five archival paper types, please use the Paypal button below or email us.
If you are interested in a particular number print of this edition (for example, your favorite number), please feel free to contact us. Inquiries received will be given priority based on the date on which they are received.
Price: $50 each
Edition: 100 total prints
Dimensions:
Print area: 4″ x 6″
Handmade paper varies due to handmade qualities, the edition varies between 5″ x 7″ and 8″ x 10″ (this means that they will all fit nicely into standard frames that you already have around the house)

Due to many unforeseen issues with Manhattan real estate and landlords, we have unfortunately been pushed out of our 67 Franklin Street location for reasons outside of our control. Until we find the perfect new space for Majestic, Adal is operating all consultations and appointments out of a private location in Brooklyn, just 15 minutes from Manhattan. Please contact us for more information.
This week Majestic launches our mobile site! As smartphone users grow so must websites. With a new, streamlined interface and easily accessible links, visitors can easily navigate and experience Majestic Tattoo on-the-go.
Majestic Tattoo NYC is ready to expand. Are you an experienced tattoo artist with similar style and portfolio as Adal, or a style that you feel would complement the artwork done at Majestic Tattoo NYC? We would love to hear from you. We will consider local and out-of-state applicants, if you are looking to relocate to NYC in the very near future. Please email the studio with links to your portfolio and attach your resume. No phone calls please.
And as always, if you are an artist passing through, and would like to work out of our studio, please drop us a line.
Here’s a little bit of what Adal has gotten into this summer…
thanks to Arjuna Watson, also known as Decypul, for the awesome photos:
Most people have heard of the critically acclaimed AMC hit TV show The Walking Dead. Those of us who you could consider addicted are familiar with Daryl Dixon, played by actor Norman Reedus (also known for his role as Murphy MacManus in The Boondock Saints). Majestic Tattoo got a surprising passerby last week when Norman Reedus posted a photo of Majestic’s street portrait of Debbie Harry (by artist Decypul) on his personal Instagram account. Within the hour the photo had over 21,000 likes and 200 comments. Well over 400,000 people ended up viewing the picture. This was great exposure for Majestic Tattoo and Decypul, we’re looking forward to more visitors!

2013 has arrived! You survived Sandy, the 2012 Mayan apocalypse, a blizzard, and what better way to celebrate the new year and new you than with a tattoo?

Including but not exclusive to NYU (New York University), Columbia University, Hunter College, Fordham University, The New School, Pace University, Manhattan College, City College of New York with your student ID.
Not only are we offering discounts to any student, but also to any member of greek life in New York City, such as any NYU sorority, NYU fraternity, Columbia sorority, or Columbia fraternity. A sorority / fraternity tattoo is a great way to remember some of the best years of your life.
The exact discount will be stated on a case by case basis, but you can expect to receive some of the finest quality tattoo work in New York City for a rate that is much more reasonable than what is charged at competing tattoo shops.

In 1989, Keith Haring visited Chicago to do a series of murals under the project name “Keith Haring at the Pinnacle.” One of the murals was done with Chicago public high school art students and two of the murals were done at Rush-Presbyterian Hospital.
All three murals were covered by PBS in a documentary with the same name as the project name. Adal was 16 years old at the time and was fortunate enough to meet Keith Haring and be his assistant on the two murals at the hospital. In fact, Adal essentially became Keith’s “art intern” for the weekend, helping to run errands for Keith and be his right-hand-man during the painting process. While Adal was working for him, Keith Haring drew on and signed the back of his leather jacket. Kwong Chi, Keith’s photographer, also signed the sleeve of the jacket.
Here are two other images from the event, “Keith Haring at the Pinnacle:”
Here is the Keith Haring autographed leather jacket that will be going on sale this Thursday:

We have power, once again! Luckily, Hurricane Sandy left Majestic in one piece. Our thoughts go out to those who were affected by this storm.
If you would like to schedule (or reschedule!) an appointment give us a call – (212) 431-3323! We are open today and will be open the whole week.
Hey all. The Majestic studio has survived Sandy – but we are still without power. If you would like to get tattooed tomorrow or this weekend, I will travel to you if you have a place with power and good lighting! Give me a call to set something up. (212) 431-3323.
It’s well known that the prices and quality of a tattoo can vary. It seems to be, in 2012, that the average rate across America is $150 an hour with custom work from more popular, more talented artists fetching as much as $250 an hour, if not more. It’s hard to believe in today’s economy that artists can charge so much, given that the time needed to complete the average half-sleeve project could be between 8-12 hours. With 18+ years of experience as a tattoo artist, Adal clearly ranks with these top-earning, popular artists, however, he is of the opinion that tattoos need not be excessively expensive, and that someone’s budget should not exempt them from getting his high-quality tattoo work.
Given the cost of living in New York City, in conjunction with these high tattoo rates, many individuals seek out the cheapest possible option when getting a tattoo. Furthermore, there seems to be an abundance of under-skilled tattooers offering cheap tattoos as a means of practicing and trying to learn a complex form of art. Since tattoo apprenticeships are not readily handed out, it is understandable that a beginning tattooer would use every opportunity to practice, which in most cases, leaves the person being tattooed highly unsatisfied with low-quality, under-skilled artwork. These tattoos are, 99% of the time, nothing close to the tattoos that people search for and fawn over in magazines and online.
If you are serious about getting tattooed, and even if you are working within a budget, come and talk to Adal. Adal always works with the client to come up with a price that is reasonable for him or her, not based on an hourly rate, but based on what is appropriate for each tattoo project. For instance, if you are interested in engaging in a tattoo project that will take over 4 hours, Adal is very open to negotiating on a fixed session rate, that is not so focused on counting minutes and hours. The price of any tattoo project that takes less than that amount of time will be assigned a flat price which is determined by the tattoo’s size, complexity, and design, generally based on the rate of $150 an hour.
Majestic always operates with a $50 minimum for a tattoo that takes half and hour or less.
For specific inquiries about the price of your tattoo idea, send Adal an email or call him at the studio at (212) 431-3323.
New York City offers so much to the students that inhabit its streets and now Adal wants to offer the same. Any student of a New York City school (including but not exclusive to NYU [New York University], Columbia University, Hunter College, Fordham University, The New School, Pace University, Manhattan College) is now eligible for tattoo work at a discounted rate with student ID. Majestic Tattoo NYC is conveniently located in SoHo/Tribeca/Chinatown, right by the Canal Street subway station.
For a specific inquiry about pricing on your tattoo idea, please email Adal or give us a call at (212) 431-3323. Tell us your ideas and we can work out a discounted price that works for you.
Can’t wait to finish this lily sleeve.
Really excited about this experiment with organic fractal forms!
Just added color to this sleeve!
Round one of two on this condor wing chest tattoo. While a lot of tattoos can be completed in one session, it’s not uncommon to hold multiple sessions during which details can be refined.
We covered a lot of space on this guy’s sleeve during the first session; next session we’ll focus on shading and line detail.
Have a tattoo you regret? Instead of paying hundreds or even thousands for laser tattoo removal, come visit Adal to have your old tattoo covered with a new, colorful cover-up option.
Majestic is proud to currently have on display the art of Australian artist Arjuna Watson. Adal and Thee Majesty consider him a true Proponent and Soldier in the movement of Street Art meeting High Art through the course of pure action painting. His style has been coined Urban Realism, and how REAL it is, no? Come visit to see some of his inspired Enamel on Canvas and production stencil work, or call ahead to book a more involved viewing of over a dozen of his neo-pop canvases in our collection! Here is a peek at what he does, but to see the magic first hand…
Bring your own ideas, artwork, or other influences to Majestic and we will work with you to create a tattoo that you will love forever. Adal custom draws and creates 100% of his tattoos, including everything you can see here on the site.
At Majestic Tattoo NYC, we maintain a focus on offering the highest possible quality in tattoo work for rates that are reasonable and realistic for you. We do not stock pre-fabricated tattoo designs, commonly known as “Flash,” but instead Adal and all associates work one-on-one with each client to create custom tattoo designs based on the customer’s vision. Bring ideas, influences, stories, and pictures as reference: Adal will create a unique tattoo for you that you can love and cherish forever.
