We’re in SoHo, the famous district of New York where the air is buzzing with art, culture and energy and the streets are teeming with people from every corner of the globe who come to this area in Lower Manhattan to get a taste of the best New York has to offer. And this is where we go to visit Love Machine Tattoo, the shop opened by Denis Sivak, a creative space open to painting, design, photography, art, where everything comes together with the tattoos created by the eleven members of the team.
I am Denys Sivak, a tattoo artist who has mastered and surpassed all forms of Realism, creating my own unique and recognizable style. We relocated to NYC in 2018 from Ukraine. In NYC the mission was to bring high quality, world renowned artists in one common creative space that share the love for art.
Love Machine is about art. Not just tattooing. We also practice painting, designing, photography, digital art, etc. We encourage everyone to practice all kinds of art mediums to be a well rounded artist. Our approach is to give our clients the best experience, quality tattoos, and a need to come back for more.
We are located in the heart of SoHo. People here are unique, from all walks of life across the world. You can see in the streets how much people are inspired by our neighborhood. The atmosphere is mostly classy SoHo style with a mixture of art work on the walls and contemporary stone furnishing. We like to cater to everyone’s musical taste so we are always shuffling different genres throughout the day.
We have around 11 tattoo stations. Our priority in selecting tattoo artists is a high level of experience, quality, creativity and genuine personality. At the moment the artists that are part of the team are:
Angelove @angelove_tattoo, his style is a fusion of flawless fine lines and expressive colour details, where each tattoo is carefully thought out and aesthetically refined.
