Mike Rubendall is different than all the artists we’ve featured so far on Tattoo Age, and what makes him so different is that he primarily works in the suburbs. One wouldn’t think of Massapequa, New York as a hotbed of tattooing, but it probably has more quality tattoos per capita than any other city in the world. In part 1, we hear from Mike’s co-workers Grez, Justin Weatherholtz, and Matt Breckerich about what it’s like working with Mike at his shop, Kings Ave Tattoo, and what makes their clientele so different. With words from tattoo artists Chris O’Donnell and Frank Romano to round out the episode, we happily present to you Mike Rubendall Part 1.
