Artist Spotlight: Mark Mahoney-Gangster Grey

[@travisolsen3943]

Legend!! 20 years deep and came from a great lineage, always have had a deep respect for Mark and his donations to the craft!!

[@Yakazas]

Real cute how people in the comments are trying to tell Mark Mahoney (A tattoo legend) how to set up. LOL

[@Denka187]

legend or not , bacteria is bacteria . i love mark dont get me wrong but i´we seen many many many great artists over the years preaching on hygiene and to protect yourself and now years later when you see these kinda videos with them they are doing everything people not suppose to do , dont matter if hes a legend touch stuff without gloves like the glases and stuff like that i mean dont matter how good you are . blood is blood you never get around that

[@killerFORrealler]

jesco white congratulations on your hygiene throne. jesco

[@Denka187]

its no throne , its common sens in the real world . im just saying , people can do what they want - i just think its funny that these people complain over hygiene matter and when they are on film they are no better

[@j2mfp78]

jesco white ....yawn

[@auraherrera2634]

Hahaha what a fucking pussy..... who the fuck needs gloves... these little photoshop artist think they fucking know it all..... what a joke

[@eggonpetraw]

Mahoney is the Clint Eastwood of tattoos!!!

[@Bluntz-po2bj]

Legend right here, Mack Mahoney is a fucking OG in the tattoo culture, Him and FROSTY are straight up G's. That chicano tattoo single needle black & grey is dope

[@travisnevins9242]

I just got outta prison...and educated everyone about this man...hes always been a role model for me.

[@joshuabaham1863]

Damn she's lucky to be tatted by one the old schoolers that grew up in that time that's awesome

[@torontotaylor]

My favourite artist by far

[@LA-DAMA]

his voice and his vibe is soooo chill ! he is dope !

[@vandl107]

Opiates 😅

[@kaze4308]

This is what makes KZbin great in my opinion. Its like a priceless insight into a great mind, and a living legend. Not to mention the subtle tips and tricks that an artist can gain from this. Thank you intenzetattooink for posting this, and thank you Mark Mahoney for sharing your time.

[@jasonnepoose]

Best Pioneer out there. so much information great artist. Great man, one of my idols.

[@pink4947]

He's so attractive

[@dawnschultz3929]

I could listen to Him talk forever!!!!

[@marksstudio]

Dawn Schultz He's got a no nonsense style. I truly could listen to him all day about tats or any other damn thing. Hanging around a guy like that you keep your mouth shut and ears open.

[@SatineDali]

My baby lives in shades of cool :)

[@charliebrowm7670]

Oh shit is that Malone in the Lana video? No way

[@NuckinFuts80]

seriously ladies and gents , I have to say that when will any of you ever make the cover of inked magazine and other tattoo related books and magizines since the 1970's and have union and TTS make a tattoo machine in your name that costs over 400$ lol , love it or hate it mark Mahoney is epic , love the video :)

[@bamir1]

I could listen to him talk all day

[@michaelr.4878]

Yeah, this video was cool because he seemed to just be himself. I find that in other videos and audio interviews I have heard with him throughout the year, it has always seemed like he was putting on a front or trying a little too hard to portray a character. Great artist. Definitely a pioneer. It is refreshing to hear a tattoo artist talking about how he wants the tattoo to age well. These days, waayyyyy too many of the new artists are just focused on getting pictures of crazy fresh pieces for their portfolios. They never showcase healed work...and they tattoo stuff that they absolutely HAVE to know won't hold up over the years. They just want that picture of the fresh tattoo. It is sad. I have pieces that haven't held up..even after 3 or 4 years. Yet, I have pieces that have held up wonderfully for almost 20 years. Of course, the ones that have held up the best have nice bold outlines.

Thanks Intenze & Mark Mahoney Execllent Video on the Gangster Grey inks. & Mark is awesome. What fine detail in a small piece ! Wow... I will be buying some to try. Bill

[@passionpitmosh]

Lana del Rey sent me here.

[@DisabledTeamYT]

"Sent",more like guided you here.

[@aldack]

Me gusta mucho la forma tan perfeccionista y tranquila al momento de poner la calca.

[@innekem7853]

I just find it lovely to see that he doesn't use as much 'vaseline' as other artists do. i find working with less 'vaseline' easier to work. You don't smoosh things up, you know. I like my skin to be as dry as possible when i work on it, just a little bit green soap or antibacterial water on a whipe is as good as . . . not to mention better ;)

[@marcotoni231]

Freddy corbin and mark Mahoney = titans

[@anakeogan8857]

he is hot as hell. My god.

[@fourdotsix]

this guy is toooo fucking cool..

[@juliemitchell3794]

I'd like to read about Mark Mahoney's life. Thinking it's been quite interesting...

[@aaronlittlecreek7995]

That's a man that knows how to dress.

[@elijahbirtel]

WHAT IS THE MIRACLE WATER?!?!!!! FUCCCCKKKK I NEEEED TO KNOW.

[@Excella1900]

He is amazing artist love his work

[@plopperator]

at 2:50 doesn't his voice go all synthesizery?

[@ink_boy9263]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@therainbowmushroom13]

I'm hopefully gonna get my first tattoo by him

[@jtinsfv1]

It will never happen unless your someone famous. He thinks he's too good for regular people.

[@natea9786]

He's rockin' that Percy Waters Machine....Holy shiittttt....And hey...I'll bet this cat is cleaner than all of you nit pickers combined. it's not a bad habit to have, mind you, but this guy has been tattooing longer than most of us combined, I would guess.

[@600rrcbr7]

Nate A and a mickey sharpz hybrid

[@falcodarkzz]

Feels like Christian Bale got his american accent for parts from this guy

[@smilinazzdoggy825]

Zeb you nailed it!

[@lilaalexinglis1436]

Dude how do I get Mark Mahoney to tattoo me? Anyone know if he does cover ups?

[@ProphBundy]

you dont go to a guy like Mark Mahoney for a coverup. I'm sure he could do it, he's a master at the craft, but give him the respect of some fresh skin and free artistic reign. BTW - you should call Shamrock Social Club in LA if you're serious about getting work.

[@customtattoosbyrobby2064]

holy crap didnt anybody notice that at 4:16 to 4:20 marks j frame liner machine changes to a walker style then back again? funny stuff, homage to four twenty maybe?

[@nancy.burgrss272]

Just wanted to let you know that was not a J frame that he seemed to use for most of the tattoo. That was a Col. Todd "Jim Dandy" machine. Not that it matters,he is a master and probably do a awesome tat with a tibori hand poke!

[@fred788]

Col todd machine to start then a catfish carl tattoo machine after

[@LisaRaphael]

PLease focus the camera next time....

[@4cedistattoo703]

Yes he has to make the focus of the camera to see exact work he is doing, and also you have apply VASELINE to the skin to flexible. Good work tho.

[@caponekingpinking9917]

Jeremy Barnes my favorite artist

[@michaelguzman3323]

Solid.

[@juliemitchell3794]

Nice work. Eerie voice. Where you from Mark? I mean where were you raised?

[@MrPHUCKYOURSELF]

He’s from Boston area. He tattoo Johnny depps sparrow Jack for pirates of Caribbean. Pretty sure that why Mark was in Black mass movie with Johnny depp. Great movie was bummed marks character died

[@beauwitte7933]

but first..let me take a selfie lol 3:03

[@legacy917]

not to mention he takes his glasses off at the end with his gloves on... and THEN takes the gloves off.. I know old habits die hard, but damn

[@Rohimtattooist]

[@ANGELCITY323]

That armrest is dope! If this was recorded in 2013 per Cali state law he can’t have those pigment bottles on the table, can’t have the paper towels where they are, and should not be using spray bottles. Other than that he’s actually pretty on point. Nothing to cry about. I mean Kat Von D used to tattoo barefoot. That alone is the grossest shit ever. Now stfu.

[@ProphBundy]

4:15 = machine change

[@stainpain77]

Louis shit! Scrub up and glove up! If you can be concerned about the placement of the tattoo and its longevity, shouldn't you be just as worried about foreign bodies from underneath your wedding ring being introduced into the tattoo process?

[@BullyOneBrandTV]

if his hands are clean and an no skin as been punctured whats the big deal?.... gloves don't protect the client, they are designed for the person using them... ya know PPE "Personal Protective Equipment"

[@Denka187]

well you right , but to lay down you machine and then take of your glasses with the same gloves you just used i would say thats skin been punctured . and lays them on his pants - i think you get what sweeney coming from

[@charliebrowm7670]

This is a guy who worked with ed hardy, schooled freddycorbin, he might be the original person to do sugar skull tattoos,he's been doing this since the seventys, he's old school, heknowswhat he's doing,yeah I hate when other artists I'm working with answerthephone with therewith gloves,

[@MrLanzac]

The gloves and shit is more to protect the artist from the clients blood and shit than keeping foreign germs and shit out , I mean sterile stuff is important but the main thing is not catching or spreading blood borne pathogens. Plus back in the day most guys went bare hand and even then it was rare for infections and shit.

[@versecontro4898]

I have only know of Mark Mahoney for about 15-20 minutes, however i seems like the serial killer of art. like if you took ted bundy and he had free roam to plan and execute a murder, hear and see his passion in his art.

[@versecontro4898]

strike that.. hes the chris walken.

[@IYasKarma]

WOW NO GLOVES!!!! REAL GOOD ARTIST,,REAL SAFE!!

[@Death-se8dp]

he is wearing gloves...

[@IYasKarma]

Not when placing carbon paper

[@lesterthemolestercockensht2934]

You do realize who Mark is right? I'm sure he knows what he's doing

[@BullyOneBrandTV]

you gotta realize, some of the old school guys like mark, follow the letter of the law, and don't past that, it's just how it is... but its legal and as long as his hands are clean, it dosen't matter... gloves don't protect the client, they are designed for the person using them... ya know PPE "Personal Protective Equipment"

[@alee5329]

But you'll probably eat a cheese burger made by some highschooler who has no idea what sanitization is.

[@HOSTYLEMUSICK]

the johnny cash of tattoin

[@MrChubib0]

1st to comment, last to get laid.

[@naturalherb]

hehe dirty mahoney. respect to oldtimers but they dont have any sense for hygiene. like for instance, prepping skin with stencilstuff wothout gloves, does not look like the armrest has been protected against ink and blood. and also he takes off his glasses in the end with dirty gloves. those glasses better be disposable homie!

[@OscarOffTheCuff]

Stupid question I know but why is it so crucial that he takes his glasses off with the gloves? I saw like 2 other comments sayin the same thang

[@donrueroprod.6365]

StayEarthly He put the girls blood in his glasses when he does it.

[@fpmata1]

naturalherb even more important than a great design and a well done tattoo is the hygiene!fuck i don t whant to have a beautyfull tattoo and.. ho yeah!! free aids! not hatin and not for a second trying to be disrispectfull but i work at home i don t even own a shop and i fell that i m cleanner and more preocupide on beeing hygienic than in some shops..

[@johnsmith-so5do]

naturalherb , like you said "he's old school" probably wouldn't if the city wouldn't take his permit.

[@undeadthe1]

Pretty weak tattoo for an artist spotlight. His wife/rep should at least have picked something people could identify.

[@inkdreaper874]

Would have to agree with both sides of the fence on this. Amazing artist, but poor hygiene level. It's scary. Spraying green soap directly onto the client's skin is also a bad idea. If the client has hepatitis, the back spray from the green soap hitting the skin can mist into the air and get on the artist's equipment and work station, not to mention the artist's eyes and skin. Sterilization is a huge part of being a tattoo artist.
