Mister Cartoon (Tattoo and low rider legend)

Mr Cartoon is one of the most famous tattoo artists to ever put ink to skin. His artistic journey began in graffiti before moving to airbrushing clothes and low rider cars. He's got a line of Turtle Wax car care, designed wheels, and has an amazing garage of his own. We talk about the history of low riders; how hydraulics work; the legality of them; how he got into cars; wild builds over the years; the hardest form of art; whether a celebrity makes him nervous; the hardest body part to tattoo; and so much more. Stars such as Eminem, Travis Barker, Slash, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, along with athletes like CC Sabathia, Kobe Bryant, Lewis Hamilton, and Carlos Boozer wear Cartoon’s art on their skin. Cartoon’s art has been featured in numerous publications including Rolling Stone, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Complex, Juxtapoze, XXL, GQ, and he's had art showing in London, Paris, Tokyo, and his hometown of Los Angeles. Recorded April 24, 2024  https://www.instagram.com/misterctoons/  https://www.turtlewax.com/collections/turtle-wax-x-mister-cartoon  Head to https://www.factormeals.com/tire50 and use code tire50 to get 50% off your first month plus 20% off your next month.
