This month takes us to America, we were fortunate enough to sit down in New York and talk to the mighty Mike McCabe.

Mike started tattooing in the late 70's with guidance from Richard Tyler. His love for tattooing extends outside of it as a practice and he's produced many books on its history, most famous being 'New York City Tattoo'.

It was a pleasure to sit down with Mike, his knowledge of New York history is incredible and his passion for tattooing is infectious.
