Nick Paitakis

Legendary Nick Paitakas Owner of "The bike shop" and "Middlesex county cycles" stopped in the tattoo shop the other day. Nick was one of the most talented wrenches Jersey had to offer back in the day.His Bike shops were also probably the most famous at the time. Nick is now retired(unfortunately)and both shops are gone. It was great having ya in the shop talking bikes Nick!!! Maybe just maybe one day ya might get a tattoo!!
