Our Team
Cindy
Owner
After an apprenticeship with Bruce Bart in Tannersville, NY, Cindy began working at Peter Tat2 in West Hempstead, NY in 1981. During that time, she was extremely lucky to work beside some amazing artist, including Marguerite, Cindy Burmeister, Mike Ledger, Mike Bruno, Peter Poulos, Richie Montgomery and so many others. In 1993, she left Peter Tat2 to pursue the dream of having her own tattoo business, which would cater to custom work. Many years later, Cindy continues to create beauty on skin and enjoys surrounding herself with new, talented artists who call Twin Moon home.
Richie Montgomery
Richie has been tattooing for 50+ years and worked alongside Peter Poulos at Peter Tat2. He later opened his own shop Tattooing by Richie in Elmont and was open for 47 years before having to close shop due to the pandemic. Not ready for retirement just yet he decided to join Twinmoon and work alongside Cindy once more. While Richie’s tattoo style is very versatile he does specilize in American Traditional.
