Christian Louboutin has decided to add a men's store to his Meatpacking offerings, and in the spring of next year, he'll open one around the corner from his women's store that's at 59 Horatio Street. The new shop on Washington Street between Horatio and Gansevoort will be his second men's store in the world, as he recently opened one up in Paris. Inside of that, customers have the option to get their new shoes tattooed—to either match their own, or they can pick one out of a book.

WWD suspects that the same service will be offered in Meatpacking. Other details have yet to be finalized, but another quite likely guess is that the store will have Louboutin's signature "reworked red carpet." And of course, lots of studded leather flats that run upwards of $1,000.
