MED, a legend of New York’s Old School and New School movements whose MED stars went all city, is now the owner of the notorious Tuff City Styles tattoo parlor in the Bronx which has become the go-to destination for Hip-Hop celebs, like Puff Daddy, looking to get inked. The infamous Tuff City “train” is also the premiere destination for writers who make a pilgrimage to the Bronx, the Mecca of NY graffiti. It should be noted that MED is one of the few Jewish artists affiliated with this trip. However, most don’t know that as MED. As he tells it “I was already in trouble before I turned 13, so they had to let me out of the halfway house for a day to get my bar mitzvah with a cop standing next to me and the Rabbi. Then, I went right back.”
