'I Had No Idea This Would Go Viral' Mat Rule | Artist Profiles

Some artists specialize in doing cartoon tattoos. Others have made black-and-grey realism their forte. Mat Rule is the rare artist who has mastered both. After falling in love with traditional and black-and-grey tattooing, he decided to combine the opposing genres to create an exceptionally unique signature style.
Mat dives into his tattooing process, the journey that got him to where he is today and more in this Artist Profile.

Has that Alice copy tried to copy the redness of the fresh tattoo from the original by putting red spots in it?!

[@susitabar1068]

There’s one where they copied the ears of the wolf that’s underneath by accident 😂

That first Alice copy had one too many tabs 😂

The Alice tattoo morphs the image of the model from the Diamante Electrico album cover: MLQMHH (Mira Lo Que Me Hiciste Hacer)

The copy looks like they added the blood into the hair

These tattoos appeal to tatooers and collectors who would copy your work. That's the thing about this style, is that it targets people who don't know any better. It's the "I love street art but hate taggers" demographic.
