I am Meryl Hurwich, owner and founder of Inkwitch Tattoos. I've been tattooing full-time since August of 2000, after apprenticing with the astoundingly talented Denise De La Cerda in Jersey City, N.J. My art background includes a BFA from Parsons School of Design in New York City, and a lengthy stint as Art Director of Tower Records Lincoln Center store. The job of putting permanent marks on other human beings is a tremendously rewarding experience, and one that I treat with utmost respect. I am here to help you empower yourself with body art, and look forward to designing a custom piece for you that holds personal meaning, and embodies positive energy. I enjoy all styles of tattoo art, with an emphasis on the Asian. There is also flash on my shop walls for anyone who wishes to pick out a ready-made design. You can refer to the "Links" page on this website for other tattoo design websites as well. Portraits are also a part of my repetoire, whether beloved human or beloved pet.

Along with Meryl, is Bill MacKay as the shop piercer. Bill has been piercing since 1997, having received his training from, Herb Leong, former owner/piercer of Jersey Shore's, Dragonchild Piercing. Bill is looking forward to assisting you with all your piercing needs from traditional to the eclectic, as well as having a wide range of jewelry on hand to fill any hole...and not to worry, we are able to special order countless unique and exotic pieces for the more adventurous patrons! Bill's shop hours are Wednesday through Saturday from 12:00pm until 8:00 pm.
