Darren Rosa has been tattooing in New York City for over 30 years. I’m a native New Yorker! I grew up in Washington Heights, and despite traveling the world, NYC is my city for life!

Darren has always had a passion for dragons and nature. Dynamic Flow, strong Patterns and Color make up most of my art. I love trying many styles,

but my favorite is Japanese which I feel embodies a love of nature and boldness to its art. The Japanese tattoo history has also developed a full language for the treatment of subject matter and backgrounds.
