Wassim Razzouk Tattoo Artist


Tattooing is an art the Razzouk family introduced to Palestine centuries ago.  Bringing it with them from Egypt to Jerusalem when his great grandfather moved here for trade, this art has been in the family for 700 hundred years.Travelers to the Holy Land will often get a small cross tattoo on their wrist to commemorate their Pilgrimage. 

Traditional wood blocks, many of them hundreds of years old are sometimes used to transfer a pattern to follow.
