Kris Busching

A Skin Art Exclusive Interview with Kris Busching.

- Philip Meraglia

I first met Kris Busching many years back when I was working the front desk at Technical Tattoo Supply. He would show me the work he had done, and even back then it was pretty amazing. Flash forward a few years and he has a massive social media following (@buschingtattoo) and a sponsorship from Fusion inks. His work speaks for itself and he has always struck me as a normal, down to earth kind of guy. I recently had a chance to sit down with him and chat a bit about what made him the artist he is today.

Philip Meraglia: Hey Kris, how are you? For our readers who may not know who you are, please tell us a little bit about yourself. For example where were you born and raised and what was that like?

Kris Busching: I’m good man. Let me get right into it. I am a photo realism tattoo artist based out of Long Island, New York. I’m 29 years old and I have been tattooing since I was 19. I was born and raised here in New York and as of now don't have any plans to leave. I love it here.

PM: Nice. So tell me…what got you into art in general and then into tattooing?
