His look is so timeless and effortlessly cool at the same time.

It’s all the guilt . It’s just part of what it is . You’ll be scarred and marred but never not interesting .

Absolutely LEGEND. I grew up in LA in and around the Sunset strip as my dad was an LA Musician and part of that scene. I remember being 6 or 7 and spending a ton of time around the Viper Room when Johnny owned it and we would BBQ every Sunday. I would always go by Shamrock and as a kid I was always really intrigued by Mahoney and his entire persona. My uncle got most of his work done by him and my dad was actually offered free work by Mark which he INSANELY turned down because he isn't into tattoos and doesn't have any. I still get angry with him for turning it down! Seeing this video brings me back to the 90's in Hollywood and the whole scene there. Those were both really good and bad days. Mahoney is an amazing artist and awesome guy.. a true LA legend and tattoo legend. MUCH RESPECT! -Dra$ky

This guy gives off the same vibe Johnny Cash used to have.

[@michaelr.4878]

The only thing is that Johnny Cash didn't have to try so hard.

[@nodsjim588]

He's the typical old school tattooist like it or lump it this is me! as for Johnny Cash now don't get me wrong I liked Cash but for many years he made out like he done true time in prison which was all crap..
