It was Kid Kros‘ color work that caught my eye, at least initially. After learning how strongly his background in graffiti ties into his love for lettering, it’s safe to say I will probably always keep tabs on this Croatian tattooer. It’s amazing how many artists I would never be exposed to without the internet.

Of course, Kid was a bit of an internet phantom when I first came across his work–a man without an active internet presence can be rather tough to get in touch with. Thankfully, he’s since gotten onto  Facebook and was kind enough to grant us with an interview.

The “Live Strong” portion of this tattoo stands for someone battling cancer, unless I’m mistaken. This is a topic we haven’t covered much around here – if any of you have a tattoo along these lines we’d love to see it!

As a side note, I’ve been told Audi has no web presence… but  after lurking photos of his work, I have to say I think he should. Check out his portfolio, I suspect you’ll feel the same.

Seems like there’s quite a few “ask and ye shall receive” readers out there–since posting about a lack of lettering on here we’ve received photos of some nice word-based tattoo work. The one below certainly goes above and beyond your ‘typical’ straight edge tattoo.

Bravo!

Kevin and I were talking this weekend about things we haven’t been posting on TattooSnob much. It seems like lettering is one thing we don’t post on here very often… I’m not sure as to why, but now seems like a good time to change that up.

If you have any fantastic lettering tattoos of your own, please send them our way. Diversified post topics make the internet go ’round!
