It is with great sadness that I wrote on the passing of the legendary Walter Moskowitz last night. He suffered with cancer for some time and is now at peace.

Walter was one of the original Bowery Boys. Mike McCabe said it best: "If it hadn't been for the Moskowitz brothers, tattooing might have died out altogether [in NYC]."

I got to meet Walter in December and he was so wonderful and I learned so much from him. It was my first and last time seeing him but it had a profound affect on me.

I hope his stories will live on.

Oh man. This is truly a loss for tattooing... The stories they had about tattooing on the Bowery were awesome. R.I.P.
