Tradition Tattoo

Tom Wilkinson was born in Poughkeepsie, NY, and started showing an interest in art very early in life. At the age of 22, he began tattooing out of his apartment in 1993, while still attending college full-time. In 1998, after receiving his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, he was asked to join the team at Skin City Tattoo in Newburgh, NY, an offer he proudly accepted. From there, he went on to ink flesh in studios like Aces High in Newburgh, NY, New York Hardcore Tattoo in Manhattan, Medusa Tattoo, in Manhattan, and Big Joe & Sons Tattoo in Yonkers and White Plains, NY.
