Born in Tennessee and raised on the mean streets of Southern California, tattoo craftsman extraordinaire Luke Wessman is my artiste du jour. The
crème de la crème. A man of seemingly strong will and admirable character, he prides himself on being self made; often speaking of coming from practically nothing, and building from the ground up. No short cuts. It appears that Wessman's humble beginning has been a catalyst of sorts, and he's certainly earned his way to the top of the ink industry. Sticking to the conventional rules of tattooing, Wessman's particular artistic style is often dubbed "traditional gangster" which (in my opinion) combines that classic, time-honored elegance with a bit of west coast flair. With unparallelled drive and loyalty, he has gained the respect of
his family, peers, and tattoo enthusiasts around the globe.
Wessman's passion for the craft has allowed him to take his rightful place amongst
the best tattooers in the world, proving that hard work and a little elbow grease goes a long way. He owns his own shop, Lucky's Tattoo in San Diego (with partner Shane Modica), but is currently cranking out rad "doodads" at Wooster Street Social Club (known to the masses as TLC's "NY Ink") in New York City. If you'd like to get a little more cozy with Mr. Wessman, check him out on Twitter
https://twitter.com/#!/LukeWessman, where he is most entertaining with candid commentary and unfiltered opinions on tattooing, and every day life in SoHo. For a more in-depth account of his journey to tattoo royalty and all around creative genius, mosey on over to
http://lukewessman.com/, where you'll find an active blog, pics of original artwork, amazing tattoos, cool videos, and contact information. Visit often. Get familiar, get inspired, and most importantly, get tattooed!
