A celebration of Mike Bakaty's life tomorrow night at the Bowery Electric



Mike Bakaty, owner of the city's longest-running tattoo parlor, died on Jan. 29 after a battle with cancer. He was 77.

Tomorrow night from 6-9, his friends and family will hold a celebration of his life at the Bowery Electric, 327 Bowery.

Bakaty opened Fineline Tattoos on First Avenue near East Second Street in 1997 after the city lifted the 30-plus year ban on tattooing. He started his business during the tattoo prohibition from his Bowery loft in 1976.
