That getting ink is about supporting art over algorithms, artists over trends, artistic expression & creative integrity over the status quo. If you want to reject the mainstream noise and actually stand out.
I like to describe my work as ‘Stills from a postmodern, science-fiction movie set ten minutes in the future’ and my process as ‘Re-examining Bits and Pieces of What’s Been Discarded in the Haste of the Late 20th Century and Sticking Them Together’.
I know it sounds fancy when you say it like that but, I’m just an Old Fashioned Rebel Challenging the Notion that Tattoo Iconography is Relevant to a 21st Century, Working-Class, 80’s Analogue, Comic Book Reading, Suburban, Rock’n’Roll Kid from the Middle of England.
I you have any tattoo, art or even business related queries just email me.
There’s a million voices out there telling you how to copy what’s safe. Plenty ready to lecture you on how to stick a stencil or dial in your voltage — but where’s the podcast for the artists, the weirdos, the mavericks? The ones who don’t want to be told what to do. The ones who don’t fit in polite rooms — who’d rather make a mess and call it art.
Pronounced ‘marked’ — mrkd is my new podcast series. It’s all about the passions the marked men and women of tattooing pursue beyond the tattoo machine. The stuff that keeps us inspired, balanced, and ultimately makes us better tattooists – and how these interests feed into our creative processes, perspectives, and careers.
Just search ‘mrkd’ wherever you listen/watch podcasts
