Nu•Ink Tattoo was established January 2014. People always ask why Nu Ink and why the ninja star symbol 😆… Well originally, Kerwin was going to name it “Red Pig Ink” since his son mainly inspired to go on his own among other reasons, and his wife Krystal helped throughout the process. The name Nu•Ink came from different inspirations. “Nu” somewhat came from his graphic design background, his main career when he came here to the U.S. it was a great job, worked with many big name clients, til it lasted. Also, inspired by the genre of music Nu-metal, when he came here it was getting or gotten big in the scene so that sound was his “fresh off the boat music”. And also the Nu-Pike, the place where American sailors and freaks stop by to hangout and get tattoos, etc. Also, the “u” supposed to be “ü” to pay tribute to Mötley Crüe which why he got obsess with tattoos in the first place…And the “ninja star” is actually the sun from the Philippine flag and the 3 stars in it to complete the symbol…
