Classic tattoos in a classic, comfortable, professional environment, this is what you can expect from 1933. The brainchild of Rasty and Ronald, two artists driven by a love and commitment for tattooing and art in general, the space is set up as a relaxing and creative zone where everyone is welcome... including art fags,because we know that you are people too. Many of you will be familiar with the
graffiti work produced by Rasty and over the last 2 years he has been applying the same skill and natural ability to the medium of tattoos, producing work of quality equal to that of his graffiti for which he is so well known. With the ability to spray photo realistic and cartoon-like images he has carried his style through in to his tattooing, executing bright,bold new-school tattoos as well as finely shaded black and grey work. Having originally started off piercing in 1998 Ronald has had a love for the body modification industry for many years and since starting to tattoo 6 years ago his dedication to the industry has grown even more. Anyone who is familiar with Tattoolya will know his work very well as he he has worked side by side with Marisa for 12 years. He now splits his time between both stores. Both artists are capable of covering a wide variety of tattoo styles and pride themselves in being able to draw you up a design from scratch, all you need is an idea, maybe some reference of course the ca$h money. This way you can be sure to leave satisfied with the work you get done at 1933 Classic Tattoos. Just remember a happy artist means a happy client that good work is not always cheap and cheap work is not always good. Located at 33 De Korte st in Braamfontein, it is situated a block away from Wits university and in the heart of the Joburg's new creative and entertainment hub. 1933 shares the space with the new Grayscale graffiti store and Gallery. Having been in Braamfontein for 3 years Grayscale found the new shop that gave them room to expand and open the gallery space. The gallery has regular exhibitions,live art events and screenings, with artwork ranging from graffiti to photography. The premises presented the perfect opportunity for the inevitable merging of two art forms that are so different yet also very closely linked.
