Living in the City of “Brotherly love & Sisterly Affection” sometimes the media doesn’t always do a good job on shinning a light on the more positive and creative activities happening throughout our city. It’s refreshing to come across a story that is relatable and inspiring. Lemeir Mitchell is a 23-year-old up and coming tattoo artist from West Philly. Below is a video of Lemeir tattooing  another young Philly native, Rakeem Christmas  the former Syracuse Orange center who has recently been drafted to the Cleveland Cavilers  {CONGRATULATIONS btw} .

The new NBA member decided to dedicate a back piece to his family, representing how he will be putting on for his family and extending his family’s legacy.

 

Tattoos have not only become an art of expressions, but as well as a culture in today’s mainstream society. One third of  young adults in America has at least one tattoo. It also comes as no surprise that the tattoo industry is the sixth fastest-growing retail business in America. It is refreshing to see two young Philly buls , in two totally different lanes reaching to the top of their own games.
