About

Mark Worst is a Scottish tattoo artist based in Los Angeles, California. Specializing in freehand tattooing with an influence from fantasy illustration, medieval imagery and gaming culture. From picking up his first spray can at age 14 over 20 years ago, Mark went from painting streets and underpasses to painting colossal murals, learning to work fast, and freely throughout the city without limit. That history is the foundation of his approach to tattooing: the confidence to project symbol, line and form across planes without hesitation and an instinct for composition that flows. Self-taught, he's spent the last 10 years sharpening his skills across multiple mediums, developing a distinct style along the way.

Mark's work sits at the intersection of graffiti, illustration and tattooing. Multi award winning, he has painted murals and judged conventions across the United States, and his illustration and fine art have been featured in a number of group shows and magazines around the world. Alongside tattooing, he continues to develop a growing personal practice in fine art, executed in airbrush and spray paint.
