During our interview with Kristel Oreto, we directly discussed artists that blatantly rip off her tattoo work.
Apparently they didn’t get the memo, and Kristel is now forced to post tattoos like this below. This is really unfortunate for Kristel, her clients, her future clients, and for anyone else that truly admires her work. It’s a shame that a few bad apples ruin it for everyone else.

In the past year Kristel Oreto has moved across the country, had her artwork ripped off by multiple artists, tattooed countless people across the United States, had her art work stolen again (this time on national television), personally spoke to Dave Navarro about being ripped off, and formed a gang of heavily tattooed females.
Last week we were able to catch up with Kristel about everything that’s been going on, and what’s next for here. Click below to read our exclusive interview with her.
The Once Ridden Art Show was curated and organized by Joey Knuckles. The event took place at Art Machine Productions back in September, and seemed like a good time. Since the event, we’ve been in touch with Joey and we were waiting for the perfect time to have him answer a couple questions. With the word of the event traveling, and Joey not working due to Hurricane Sandy – the perfect time is now.
As discussed yesterday, one more for the dogs!

I initially approached Tim Pangburn about doing an Art Machine Productions feature over a year ago, when the shop was just Tim and two other artists. Actually, it might have been just Tim and one other artist. It was such a long time ago, I don’t even remember. Art Machine Productions now has a new location, six full time artists, and the 2011 Philly HotList award as the #1 shop in Philadelphia. Oh, how times have changed.
