Los Angeles-based tattoo artist Jun Cha began tattooing at the early age of 15. Within a 6 year span, he has developed a commanding presence for his work with the needle. His talents have helped spawn further projects outside of tattooing including collaborations with both The Hundreds and C1RCA. In featuring the multi-faceted artist, we gain a better understanding of his initial foray into tattooing, his monochromatic style and his inspirations.

The clever men behind Pilot Extra Fine ball pens (aka Barcelona’s Grey Agency) have created a great viral marketing featuring tattooed Lego. Straight out of your mother’s nightmares, these Lego have dedications to Harley Davidson, lots of rad skulls, and in one instance, a rather classic tramp stamp. Which one is your favorite?

Horiyoshi III is recognized as Japan’s undisputed tattoo master. Born Yoshihito Nakano in 1946, Horiyoshi III had his epiphany when confronted with a Yakuza (Japanese gangster) sporting a full body tattoo — or “suit”—at a public bathhouse as a young boy. Inspired, he visited the studio of  Horiyoshi I for his own tattoo, and subsequently became his apprentice at the age of 25. Now days Horiyoshi’s technique uses an electric needle to freehand the outline of the tattoo straight into the skin, then he uses traditional bamboo tools for filling in color.
