New Yorkers Show Off Their Big Apple-Inspired Tattoos

NEW YORK CITY — DNAinfo New York spent the summer traveling around the boroughs looking for the best New York City-themed tattoos, but in a city of 8.2 million people, we actually missed a few.

So we crawled social media and found even more, from the Wu-Tang Clan logo to Coney Island's parachute jump, and rounded them up for an end-of-summer extravaganza:

A cityscape with the Coney Island parachute drop, the Statue of Liberty, a subway car and more done by Brooklyn Tattoo founder Adam Suerte.

 

This was a ton of fun. This guy drove from Miami to Ny to move here, he got to Atlantic and Flatbush on the day the Barclay's Center opened. He sat in traffic for 3 hours in front of the place,it was a sign. The whole arm is full of symbolism. #barclayscenter #barclaycenter #brooklynlandmarktattoo #brooklynlove #barclayscentertattoo #brooklynbridgetattoo #brooklyntattoo #subwaytattoo
