Big Joe & Sons Tattoo & Body Piercing is Westchester's oldest tattoo parlor, family-owned and operated for more than 50 years across three generations in White Plains, New York. The original shop was founded in 1969 by Big Joe Kaplan, opening less than a decade after New York City's tattoo ban and operating legally just outside city limits in Mount Vernon. Big Joe went on to help build a tattoo community in Westchester County and shape local laws that allowed tattooing to remain legal and widespread, all while running a regional tattoo supply business and developing new machine technology still used by artists today.
The shop's current team includes several tattoo artists along with a dedicated piercer offering daily piercing services. Custom tattoo work and walk-ins are both welcomed, and the studio carries a full line of vegan tattoo inks available upon request. The space is open seven days a week from noon to 8 p.m., making it an easy, reliable stop for both planned custom pieces and spontaneous visits. Rooted in decades of family history and craftsmanship, this White Plains studio blends old-school tattooing tradition with modern options for its clients.
