Last month, Slayyyter visited Mark Mahoney for some new ink—Jesus on her bicep—and to find out how he became L.A.'s tattoo king.

, the pop princess made the pilgrimage to his tattoo parlor in West Hollywood for a Mahoney specialty: Jesus Christ on her left bicep. “He made the washboard stomach popular,” Mahoney joked. “He made a lot of contributions to the world.” After Slayyyter rolled up her Shamrock Social tee sleeve and pressed “record,” Mahoney got to work and revealed his least-favorite former client, his longtime love of oil painting, and how he feels about tattoos becoming “trendy.

MAHONEY: It’s always been a part of my life and I think that was definitely amongst my earliest art influences, the way that religious painters could add a little extra drama or something. MAHONEY: Not as much as I would like to be. But yeah, I definitely like jewelry. Watches have become such a big thing for tattoo artist guys, but they essentially wear the same fucking watch. I mean, they all wear the black face stainless Rolex. And I’m like, I would rather have five fucking wild-looking ones than one square-looking Rolex.

SLAYYYTER: Anyone can tattoo, anyone can make music. Anyone can kind of do anything. Wow, ot’s already so cool. I better start lifting weights so he can get a more cut jawline. Mr. Jesus.But you’re right. We are so fucking hard on ourselves. I always hated drawing on paper since I started tattooing because like you say, I’m never fucking happy. But doing the clothing line was actually good for me because I had to draw so fucking much that I kind of got over it.

MAHONEY: It is kind of funny. But I think it’s a good sign that young people are listening to her music. Because it’s not like regular pop music, you know? It’s a little deeper. SLAYYYTER: That’s crazy. I feel like one of the best parts of tattoos is just chatting and being there. Talking, connecting, all that. To be unconscious and waking up, that’s pretty crazy.

MAHONEY: They looked at the design book I drew for them and when he finally figured out something he wanted, he would show it to Nancy and she would fucking say, “Oh, no. You aren’t getting that.”MAHONEY: But I knew her from before she went to England. She went to England and left her cat at my next-door neighbor’s house. And she told us that she was going to London to bring back Johnny Rotten. But she brought back Sid, much better-looking. In person, he was so handsome.
