By the early to mid-1800s tattooing had been introduced to America. Sailors coming to Monterey likely told stories of seeing “inked” men in Japan and South Pacific islands. Today that tradition is carried on in Monterey by the body artists at Wave Street Art Collective. Staff members are entrusted by locals to enhance their bodies with tapestries both big and small, and continue the art of telling stories on skin. Tattoos can represent everything from milestones to last-minute impulses to capture a postcard in the time of someone’s life, and Wave Street Art Collective will make those stories indelible.
