Curated by Austin Maples

Austin Maples, Los Angeles based tattoo artists, attacks the American style of tattooing—meshing nostalgia, attitude and rebellion with quality and precision.
“If I were to describe myself as an artist, I would say that I am emotional. Art for me, or creating in general, is more of a gut feeling or an emotional reaction.”

–Austin Maples
"In the world of traditional tattooing, I think there are three types of artists you can find. There is “the mechanic” – somebody that applies a really good tattoo and is very clean and super precise. There is “the artists” –  somebody the might focus less on the mechanics, but a lot on being creative and unique. And then there is “the tattoo artists” – somebody that is able to do both."

–Austin Maples
