Many schedule sessions with Mahoney (he doesn’t share prices but larger custom pieces cost thousands, depending on the time required) simply for the excuse to temporarily hang out with him as much as to be permanently imprinted by him. I couldn’t see a thing he was doing, but I trust him with everything I got.” He once worked on my back for seven hours straight and that don’t feel too good. I’ve known him since forever and I’ve got the ink to prove it. I’m like, ‘Come on! I’m doing Jesus over here!’ “ĭepp tells The Hollywood Reporter that Mahoney “is amongst the finest tattoo artists to have ever plied the trade. This dates back decades to his journeyman era working in L.A.’s South Bay, where Mahoney, 59, once found himself tattooing Christ on a man when his “borderline retarded teenage girlfriend that he had turning tricks on PCH started blowing him. One of his longest-standing clients is Johnny Depp. “People have told me he’s gettin‘ over it,” says Mahoney. (Quincy Jones has joked that musicians thank “God and Mark Mahoney” at the Grammys awards season in general is particularly busy for him, with extra house calls and visits to the Four Seasons hotel on Doheny Drive.) Longtime patron and friend Mickey Rourke stopped calling to get together after he couldn’t be squeezed in before a boxing match in Russia. the latter just days before he was killed. In the past, he offered his services to rivals 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G. Other clients include Adele, Angelina Jolie, Rihanna, Jared Leto and Lana Del Rey, who cast him as her muse in two music videos.

the healing process was smooth, i made sure to moisturise the area everyday! i paid $150 for it, which was her minimum price for all tattoos.Former Hollywood Exec Julie Uhrman on Why Being President of Angel City Football Club Is 'the Best Job in the World'Īlso stars: David Beckham is covered in Mahoney’s work, a fine-line style involving solely black-and-gray ink known as “single needle” that he has popularized - and that a coterie of younger practitioners has propagated on increasingly dewier millennial dermis. just felt like small ant bites i guess idk. pain wise it was a 3/10, didn’t hurt as much as i thought it would. I got it done with and it was a really good experience overall!! since it was a pretty small tattoo, it was a really fast process. she literally took cling wrap, drew the design on it, stuck it on me and made sure i knew exactly what size i wanted it to be (she wanted it to be as small as possible LOLLL) but honestly its a p good idea if u wanna try to envision your design & placement

I consulted my mom and she MADE me test the idea out before going for my appointment lol. ofc i got it in red ink bcos… love… duh… LOL but also i really really love red ink tattoos and from what I’ve seen they don’t fade ugly like some black ink tatts do! my placement was above my elbow – when i was doing my research i saw soo many tatts in this placement and i love it sm i want another tattoo in the same placement on the other arm HAHA

The design i chose was ‘爱‘ which means Love in chinese~ (i got it in 繁体字) i was considering different fonts that i wanted it in, but ended up settling with the traditional chinese font bcos i know i won’t get sick of it and honestly i just love how minimalistic and simple it looks. i guess it acted as a celebratory tattoo to graduating & soon moving on to the next chapter of my life :) i got this tattoo late last year, the week after i finished my final examination. however, I’ve been thinking about this design for many months and decided to go for it hehe.

AHHHH!!! tattoos have always been a scary idea to me bcos I’m soo indecisive and I’m scared that i’ll get sick of the design in the future.

Too legit to quit tattoo
