Ten years.
One chair.
No shortcuts.

Dean Kovács has been tattooing out of Bushwick since 2014. American traditional, bold blackwork, and lettering that holds up — work that reads clean at arm's length and still looks right in twenty years.

No luxury-minimal nonsense, no influencer flash. You bring the idea, we draw it, and we put it on straight. Walk in Wednesday or Thursday, or request a custom slot for the bigger pieces.

Single artist. Private back chair. Strict aftercare. That's the whole pitch.

— BLOCK MARK CO. · 142 BOGART ST · BUSHWICK · BROOKLYN · EST. 2014
