Last year we shot at Mark Mahoneys Tatoo studio on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles…

Mark Mahoney is one of the leading tattoo artists of our time. He is currently the proprietor and premier artist of Shamrock Social Club located in the heart of Hollywood on Sunset Boulevard. His career spans over three decades and with each wave of influence that tattoo culture has had on mainstream America, Mark has been there. From the underground punk scene of the 1970’s to the black and grey movement of East L.A. in the 1980’s to the mainstream popularity of tattoo art in the Hollywood scene of the present. Mark has been a pivotal influence. The theme of Mark’s shop has always been “where the elite and the underground meet.”

Dickies affiliates Heath & Dave of Lowbrowfilms spent an evening at the Shamrock Social Club with Mark Mahoney and his infamous friends. Mark reveals fascinating stories from his past when tattooing was actually banned in some states, participating in a shootout against rival tattoo artists and times spent with Sid & Nancy. This is a rare document from one of the most talked about and respected tattoo parlors to date. Period.

You can get this special Tee over at Dickies.
