Bring Out Your Inner 'Wyld Chyld'

Wyld Chyld offers deals and tattoo specials.

Lately, you’ve noticed that your arts and crafts projects consist of gluing together your fifth grader’s diorama that the cat knocked over at midnight the day before the project was due, and painting pastels on poster board for your first-grader’s Easter play. Whatever happened to the lessons you learned from all of those art appreciation classes you were forced to take in college?

You’re going to have to be a little bit daring for this week’s great escape suggestion. Seriously though, how exciting would life be if you never went out there and did something just a little bit crazy every once in awhile?

Since your days of high school rebellion, you’ve dreamed of getting a tapestry of flowers, an elaborate display of the night sky or a dedication to a special person inked into your skin. However, you never followed through with that dream. If you’re finally ready to get over that fear, head over to Wyld Chyld Studios to get a permanent tribute decoratively etched onto your body.

The establishment offers a variety of deals available, so breaking your bank account is not a concern. Wyld Chyld offers free virgin tattoos every day of the week, in addition to $40 kanji and $30 stars. During their “Wyld on Wednesdays” special, you can swap your stuff for a free tattoo.

Artists at Wyld Chyld specialize in customizing tattoos for their clients. Samples of the three artists’ work are available on the studio’s website.

Of course, health and safety concerns are understandable and reasonable when it comes to tattoos. Wyld Chyld has more than 20 years of experience in New York, and is New York Board of Health licensed and inspected. Therefore, go in without the fear of contamination – although we can’t guarantee that it won’t hurt.

So how exactly does getting a tattoo lend itself to a girl’s day out or a date with your significant other? Well, you’re going to need someone to hold your hand, aren’t you?
