Tattoo artist Mark Worst on building his dream studio in a sunlit LA art loft
Tattoo artist Mark Worst describes finding and transforming his ideal studio space in an art loft near LA's Arts District. After moving from Glasgow on a tight budget, he discovered a converted warehouse space with industrial windows flooding the room with sunlight, which immediately felt like the right place to work.

The piece explores the creative atmosphere of the loft and how the environment shapes his tattoo work.
