    Why is his tattooing technique so special? Where does it come from?

Mr Cartoon’s original technique comes from California prison. The prisoners had no access to colored inks, so they used watered down black inks to create shadows and depths. This particular technique is called « fine line tattooing ».
Mr Cartoon’s work is precise. NPR reporter Michelle Norris describes the originality of his work:

« What sets (Mister Cartoon’s) tattoos apart is the intricacy. Details so stunning they almost look like photographs — textures so finely drawn they almost appear to be three-dimensional.”

Funny fact: Marshall entered and told Mr Cartoon: « I wanna tattoo.. »
Mr Cartoon was surprised and asked him: « What do you wanna tattoo? »
Marshall replied: « I don’t know… »
Then Mr Cartoon suggested Marshall to remember some events of his past, to consider what would never change in his life and Marshall came up with lots of elements that are now pictured on his body: mushrooms, life in the ghetto, girls in the city, his nickname etc…

Eminem is very proud of Mr Cartoon’s work:

« He wears them like a badge of honor, showing them off with muscle shirts and flashing them on magazine covers. » (Michelle Norris)
