Do yourself a favor and get to know the work of Wes Lang. He's the kind of artist who makes you want to get inked for all the right reasons (and a few rebellious ones for good measure). And even if you're not fireside in the tattoo camp, you can still appreciate the artistry and skill of a steady hand and a tasty dose of vintage macabre. Some of his most recent work is on display at Partners & Spade in NYC until December 5, and let me say it all looks very choice. My personal favorite is "Castles in The Sky" (above), 38x50 inches of jaw-dropping cool.
