Guys like Simone and Volko from Buena Vista Tattoo Club and Lionel Fahy have set new trends on this path but Mark has forged his own distinct style with his graphical and often 'tongue in...

The most popular covering though, is Hindi-Wrap. The reason for this is that people who have just received a tattoo want to show it oft If they...
