We're On One of the Coolest Streets in the WORLD!

Orchard Street Tattoos | Lower East Side, NYC

Y'all, let me tell you something that has me absolutely buzzing right now! Time Out just named Orchard Street the 9th coolest street in the entire world! Not just in New York. Not just in America. In. The. WORLD.

When I first saw the news, I literally had to put down my tattoo machine and take a moment. Because here we are at Orchard Street Tattoos, doing what we love every single day on this incredible stretch of the Lower East Side, and now the whole world is recognizing what we've known all along, that this street, this neighborhood, this community is absolutely magic.

A Global Recognition We're Proud to Share

Time Out's 2025 list celebrates Orchard Street as an eight-block stretch packed with fascinating shops, dining destinations and low-rise brick buildings, and honestly? They're not wrong. Walking down Orchard Street is like taking a journey through creativity, culture, and community all at once. From the moment you step onto our block, you can feel the energy.

What makes this recognition even more special is that it came from Time Out, an international publication with a global reach. When they talk about the coolest streets worldwide, they're comparing us to incredible places from Rio de Janeiro to Osaka to Porto. And we're right there in the top 10!

Why Orchard Street (and the LES) Is So Special

The Lower East Side has always been about resilience, creativity, and authenticity. Orchard Street was once packed with tenements where working-class immigrant, migrant and refugee families lived, and that history of hard work, determination, and community building is woven into the very fabric of this street.

Today, we're part of a vibrant mix of new energy and historic soul. Yes, you'll find amazing spots like Scarr's Pizza and Bar Contra, but you'll also find us – Orchard Street Tattoos – where we're creating permanent art that people carry with them for life. And that's not something we take lightly.

Creating Art in the Heart of the Coolest Neighborhood in the World

As co-owner of Orchard Street Tattoos and one of the artists here, I can't express how proud I am to be part of this community. Every single day, we get to make art that becomes part of someone's story, and we do it right here on one of the coolest streets on the planet.

When clients walk through our door, they're not just getting a tattoo, they're becoming part of Orchard Street's living history. They're supporting local artists and independent businesses that make this street what it is. And let me tell you, that connection is everything.
