For your consideration is this original artists badge from the 1st Annual New York City Tattoo Convention. The event took place on May 15th through the 17th in 1998. Excellent collectors condition.
This was the first year tattooing was legal in NYC since 1961 after a hepatitis outbreak caused wide spread panic which turned into a full on prohibition. This comes from the collection of Keith Ciaramello, who was the original owner/the artist.
See photos for exact item condition.
