INN MY SKIN
The Untitled Hotel at 3 Freeman Alley is chucking the gift shop for something a tad more Lower East Side: Unscripted Ink, the city’s first inhotel tattoo studio.
But this is no late-night “I Heart NY” stamp shop. Unscripted Ink offers everything from the fleeting thrill of madeto-fade ink (these tattoos last 1 to 3 years) to the permanence of a classic black outline in a speakeasy-style shop.
Gather inspo as you walk down the alley to the hotel — it’s famed for its graffiti, street art and murals. Then, make your way through the lobby and restaurant before reaching an inconspicuous door on the way back, which is the entrance to the tattoo shop.
Now that you’re here, picture this: a tattoo happy hour where your fresh ink comes with a complimentary drink atop the hotel’s 11th-floor rooftop bar, Unlisted.
Unscripted Ink also treats hotel guests to a weekly flash tattoo deal, knocking $50 off regular prices. These pre-designed tattoos, which change weekly, highlight favorites among customers. This offer extends to locals, too, during hotel-affiliated events.
The inspiration behind this bold move? “It came from tattoos being the ultimate souvenir of a person’s travels,” resident tattoo artist and Co-founder of Unscripted Ink, Liv Novotny, told The Post. “A piece of art on you for life that always reminds you of the city you traveled to and the adventure you had.”
Because, let’s face it, who needs another refrigerator magnet when you can get a lifelong memento stamped directly onto your epidermis?
Starting at $150 for small tattoos, prices for custom pieces vary. Rooms from $200; UntitledAt3Freeman.com
