"Bio, Tats Cru"

Tats Cru members — Bio, Nicer and BG183 — express their distinct creative visions in Blood, Sweat and Tears, a playful exhibit on view through Friday at TT Underground, 191 2nd Avenue in the East Village. Here is a sampling of the recent artworks on display by the legendary Bronx-based Mural Kings:
