Christian Masot Tattoo Artist & Owner of Silk City Tattoo

Tattoos part 2! This week meet artist Christian Masot, owner of Silk City Tattoo in Hawthorne, NJ. Christian is a multifaceted artist (tattoos, fine art painter, photographer) who loves to share his passion for creativity and imagination with others. He earned his degree from Montclair State University with the intention of becoming a teacher, but his natural talents pulled him in a different direction. He apprenticed at a well known shop where he learned the skills and techniques to be successful in the tattoo world. He specializes in color, realism, and Japanese pieces and aims to provide his clients with unique one-of-a-kind art. He is dedicated to providing outstanding service and ensuring that his clients will love their tattoo forever. Christian has made his mark in the tattoo community; he was recently named artist of the year by Aquarian Magazine and has been featured as a consultant on Spike TV's Tattoo Rescue. He has received many tattoo awards including Best in Show, Best of the Day, Best Sleeve, Best Black and Grey, and Best Color at tattoo conventions. And then there’s Blackbird Gallery and Art Studio located in Jersey City. Opened in 2015 with a focus on fine art, the gallery represents a different dimension of Christian’s work. The Gallery features classes and special events aimed at both novice and professional. This is a busy guy! After the interview, check After Hours at Jersey Coastal Live for more info.
