Smith Street Tattoo

Is it possible to get off a plane at 3:45 and make it to Smith Street by 5 pm? I haven't spent much time in NYC...

It's possible, Depends on your baggage and the taxi line.

I think that's kinda pushing it. But that tattoo gods could be looking out for you and it might work out.

No it is not possible.

For some reason I was thinking leaving the airport at 3:45, not plane landing at 3:45.

If you left right at this instant these would be several options.

[scubaron]

When I travel, I always have to remind myself, the arrival times the airlines list are when the airplane lands. In NYC airports, it can take an hour or more from landing to getting in a taxi. Then then you have to deal with traffic.

Yeah I never have any problem getting out of LGA into the real world but JFK is truly BFE

Thanks for the responses everyone. There is one earlier flight that i didn't wanna take because it's wayyy earlier (like having to take off more work and wake up early (the horror)). But i'm just gonna suck it up and take the earlier flight to be safe.

That's an excellent plan. Get to Carroll Gardens early and visit Dan's lady at her place around the corner. Cool little antique boutique/coffee spot right down the street from the tattoo shop.

I can't recall the name of her shop, any help here guys & gals?

Yup! that's it. Cool spot rad chick excellent coffee.

Don't know about the Age video, I haven't watched it yet. Only watched a couple so far.

Get some pizza at Lucali 575 Henry street. It's not too far away from Smith Street.

NYC traffic sucks, so coming in early is a good idea. Which airport you flying into ?

I was planning to fly into LaGuardia because I was told JFK was more for international travel, which makes it sound like more of a mess. I haven't bought the tickets yet. My appointments are not for another month.

Thanks for the coffee and pizza suggestions! I enjoy both those things quite a bit.

Super cool spot, and pretty much right next to it is a place called Prime Meats that will give you a great hearty pre- or post-tattoo meal. Good coffee there too.

Definitely fly into LGA, especially if you're on a time crunch. There is always always always so much traffic leaving JFK. LGA is also a lot closer.

Called the shop the other day to book an appointment for September. It was too early to book, I had to book 2 months in advance!

[hfs40000]

Counting down the hours at the airport bar. Appts with EQ tonight and SB tomorrow. I am very excite.

[Marwin3000]

I'm calling to set up an appointement tomorrow. I can't decide who to set up an appointement with. Real first world problems. Maybe I'll just book two appointements.

These were from a visit I did will a few friends. The skull and sparrow were from Steve and the Lilly and Knife were from Eli.

Get booked in with both of them, Steve's the only one I havnt had work from but he seemed a good guy when I was in, all four are so solid though you can't leave disappointed

[CABS]

Can't go wrong wither either. I still need to get tattooed by Boltz and Santoro. They're on my short hit list.

[tattooremoval]

I have visited there and i just loved there tattoo designs. I have never ever seen same tattoo design.
