Tattoo Artists to study: Joe Capobianco

Everyone has a favorite local tattoo artist, and we all can search the internet for the "greatest" tattoo artists but ultimately its our own sense of appeal that allows the individual to select his/her influences.

Joe Capobianco is one of those influences for me. Coined "The Godfather of Pin Up" by BIZARRE mag Jan. 2011, Mr. Capobianco is a great artist. I mean come on, the man has his own tattoo machine the "Brickhouse", and even published illustration books.  A talented artist, Joe, has a style that makes a man all fuzzy in his no-no spots, in respects to his art of course.

His line work is completely awesome. The stroke, and even the line weight is flawless. While his style is not for some, I can assure you that it matters not to both him and his fans(me included)! Joe Capobianco's body of work show an understanding of both composition and knack for what a sexy rock pin-up girl is. Color or black and white he can handle it.

I could keep on going on and on, but you can check it out for yourself.
