Tattoo Age: Grime (Part 1/3)

[@Rhysmoreton]

Grime's work is unreal. What a talent.

[@hmc27]

I hope you live long enough to realize that it's important to be impulsive and have fun in your youth and that regrets are a part of life that ultimately add to the quality of our time on this earth.

[@nightfighter7452]

Mo Mo thanks

[@Hellawkwurd]

Woah

[@w.readford995]

I needed this, thank you... seven years later... thank you ✨✨

[@DexterKD]

Grime, if you'll ever read this: your work does not look like anyone else. It is absolutely amazing and unique! I hope you'll do this for the rest of your life, the world needs you.

[@mastermindgenetrick3054]

His tattoos are so sick, this guy truly got skill

[@HIM.9]

Some of those tattoos are among the best I've ever seen. Grime rules.

[@bashbarti75]

Just finished watching all of Tattoo Age. Watched every tattoo artists that Vice covered and have to say that Grime probably has to be the best. True legend.

[@JohnLilMagnor9999]

watched this series like 15 times lol, huge inspiration.

[@kornelious1]

This guy is truly inspirational. I suffer from mental illness and it'll never let me become a tattoo artist. As much as I would love to become one I doubt i'll ever overcome it. I may not have burns but mine challenges are invisible. This guy inspires me. I wish I had half his drive and strength...

[@boomerhgt]

It doesn't have to be tattoos find something you love to do that makes you feel better and do it

[@DamaLiam]

The only person that can make a change and help you is you, get up and go get it! Coming from someone else who struggles hard with mental health ❤️

[@Babaji77777]

Don't give up.

[@victorialogan9794]

Bro most artists have mental illness lol that is the most pitiful excuse and cop out I have ever heard lol 😅

[@marnixxish]

"When he was eight years old, now-prolific tattoo artist Grime had a horrifying accident - he was caught in a flurry of flames that engulfed his arms, legs, chest, and face." From the Vice website

[@mews8812]

I love Grime’s work. He’s a truly an amazing artist!!

[@andrewgnaser]

This guy has talent,don't let any one stop you from what you want to do,go ahead achieve your goals

[@MassiveTestes]

These are some of the most beautiful tattoos I've ever seen. A true master of the craft.

[@JeffyPDiddy]

Wow, I would ever even consider getting a tattoo, but I got respect for this guy's work. So unique and crazy, the type of tattoos you never forget.

[@secreri]

Absolute legend

[@shayla5781]

Very honorable and honest it’s nice to see an artist that isn’t lazy or beats around the bush and wants to elevate you and your body to the next level with a unique piece I really value that

[@FrostedLlama]

the best tattoo artist ive seen, the precision and quality is awe inspiring

[@BlissfulSl33p]

"King shit on turd island." I'm gonna have to include that in my speech from now on.

[@sunnysunshine296]

Holy crap, this guy is pretty awesome, his work is amazing

[@AshieOlson]

As a nobody, not interested in becoming somebody, only practicing to fix and finish my current Tatts, I really appreciate the perception and lessons in humility. I believe we all need that.

[@joshs8273]

Vice should've put his contact info in the description. I would love to get inked by this guy.

[@marauderyaya9687]

I'm sure if you Google his name and San Francisco Ca it'll show up. I hear you on that though, I live in the Monterey Bay area so I should check it out since I'm not to far from there

[@turdferguson4753]

Josh S he answers the phone and says "skull and sword" you really can't find out his contact info??

[@implodinggirl]

contact info changes

[@yannajohnson8750]

This guy is sick and I LOVE IT PERIOD.

[@seadogtheseagod1]

[@jonathanpaypompee3759]

awesome work all tattoo age artists are great. I tattooed as a teen, went a new direction at 18, to live now I'm back at it, and watching every tattoo artist everyday until my equipment arrives

[@yisrtyu8836]

You guys have to make more

[@PermaGrafix]

Grime has been killing it for over 20 years. Excellent fresh and healed tattoos even years healed still fuckin stellar!

[@AtortAerials]

Grime is amazing I have two of his books signed. Nice guy for sure and epic unique style.

[@oltiousgoinham]

there are soo many people that of coarse get them for attention but also many very meaningful ones.

[@coffeepot3123]

I want a tattoo from this guy. His work is amazing.

[@Nat-ys8hn]

Whoa, this is some wonderful work. I am amazed. Nowadays, the media and society's full of tattoos but this stands alone.

[@tenpagyaltsen4178]

I like how he do the job correctly and without leaving the single parts , some artist are lazy and do the short cuts .

[@yeon723]

love that tattoo buzz at the start as someone who just got his first sleeve done.

[@spookshow6999]

Those first tattoos were awesome! The little cities were beautiful.

[@ИванСтепанов-у8ь]

[@Gymnmoney]

Dude I love the way your into your work so much that's how I feel rn but ive just started tattoing

[@alexbarkas7598]

He's the Rick of the tattoo business

[@andreschong-qui3597]

My opinion he is his own tattoo one of a kind there nothing to compare

[@kmcp6139]

Grime is on a whole new level!!!

[@Rov-Nihil]

In regards to 1:30: i know a guy who has 30% limit of his lungs and was born with several defects like liver disease and renal disease. Nowadays he's so good with his studies (he's studying physics), that the teachers constantly refer him to a better school (than what its level already is, which is pretty high). Aside from that, his physique is near perfect, training constantly gymnastics (the rings) and at the gym. He's got very impressive determination, because he wants to prove himself.

[@alrightythen69]

You are an awesome artist mate!

He can have the title of Ink Master without competing. Thank you for coming to my TED talk

Grimes Dirty ! Luv his work !

[@erikwallin2980]

Grime is a living legend his work is fucking sick as fuck he kills it

[@danielmims8467]

Grimes machine tho... that aaron cain machine its beautiful. Its weird how tattooing has gone mainstreamish. Sponsored content and all, but it has progressed the industry into the 21st century. When I started 20 years ago it was way different . I've been following Grime since I saw him in ita or some magazine back in like 03 or 04 . Coming up in Texas , we didn't really see a whole lot except what was coming out of Austin and the central Texas or "Texas trad" , but grime was one of the first that u looked at his work and said , yeah this dude gets it and I've always loved his work.

[@steadypaper]

hes the mad scientist of tattoos thumbs upppp great work!!!!!

[@yo2stix]

Yutaro! I remember when he was apprenticing at HB Tattoo in the 90’s. Has!

[@thomasbenton915]

One of the best! And yes he hits like a drill bit!

[@lowbrow_industriez5312]

Inspiring!💯✍️🙌😎

[@xt3dleex]

I had a backward view on tattoos but after watching this documentary, I want to get tattooed by you before I die. See you sometime in the future man!

[@wisterV]

I got 2 of Grimey’s autobiographies/Art books. So worths all the scalps it took to get ‘em at the trading post.

[@juzkful]

Absolutely stunning work.

Grime You rule man, When I get to Frisco I get tattoed by you. Awesome work Great Colours!

[@TheKombai]

you sir are a gentleman and a scholar ! well said m8 !

[@ohsuchinnocence]

lol. Tattoos nowadays are extremely common. I'm sure you know someone who has a tattoo, and you just don't know it - whether it be a teacher or a friend's parent or sibling. You really have to open your mind to things that are becoming more "mainstream". Also, a non-tattooed person can be just as much a criminal as a tattooed person can.

[@13thNemesis]

You should revisit some of the artist! GRIME especially please

[@blvckdoll]

The use of his coloring is genius

[@KRollSweets]

That sleeve is soooo crazy

[@frgwitzmusk2757]

To me that's perfection 🙇🙇🙇

[@thomasbenton915]

[@bullet448121]

Awesome video!

[@highspacefox]

his tattos are fuckin amazing! omg my jaw was dropped the whole time

[@321seb]

I think you may have misunderstood my point. Obviously you wouldn't free hand a portrait. I didn't think I needed to explain that. It's common sense. However, you might free hand in background elements, in a portrait tattoo, with a pen after applying the stencil. And I said that the using of a stencil means nothing. Which I continue to hold because tattooists vary in approach. It's irrelevant for Grime because he is one of the greats. You needn't worry because he knows exactly what he's doing.

[@amshuchitrakar4424]

the intro music sounded like a Grimes song called oblivion

[@MakingModsEasy]

Grimes is Canadian? Toronto based? That I didn't know. I live 4 hours from Toronto, soon in Toronto. He is one of my favorite artists. deserves high recommendation.
