Mark Mahoney
Mark Mahoney is an American tattoo artist who is considered as the founding father of black and grey art with a single needle.[1][2]
Career
Considered a living legend, Mahoney owns and is the principal artist at the Shamrock Social Club on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, CA.[1][2][3] Mahoney started his work as a tattoo artist in Boston in 1977 (when tattooing there was illegal), where he was in the midst of the 1970s punk scene. He has stayed relevant and influential in the tattoo world ever since. He was a pivotal force during the 1980s black-and-grey movement, and has tattooed some of Hollywood's biggest names.[1]
Mahoney also designs for a clothing line for children called babyeggi.[4]
