In 18 years, jojo fans will storm the comments
love Dr.Woo, always thought he seemed like a super cool dude. The chick in this video on the other hand? Shes super awkward. lol
The smug is heavy in this one
#HipstersKilledCarhartt
Comeback to islam religon pleasa dont do tatoo..
No clipcord sleeve…not hygiene
ppl that get tattoos like this just see the same thing on instagram and is like i want this exact thing, don't change it bc i have no imagination, i just want to post it after and show everyone how cool i am
If this video was just Dr. Woo then it would be cool but everybody else makes this video nearly unwatchable
You already know red beanie shops at whole foods
wonder how Dr.Woo feels about the lady asking him to copy his exact Saturn tattoo lmao…
hi guys, i want to ask a help to support a new tattoo artist she is my friend hope that u can follow her on ig thankshttps://www.instagram.com/diel_x_diel/ im an artist as well but not prof. so lets help her to grow pls. for the sake of art thanks.
This is whole lot of gas. He's a good tattoo artist but he's built up this personal brand of hype similar to designer clothes brands. I don't even wanna know the prices people pay for this "designer tattoo experience". But whatever, secure the bag Dr Woo
Outstanding piece of video journalism. I’m a fan of Woo, thanks for the window into the hideaway!
“My enormously huge muscular bicep” lol wtf
i'd like to see that healed
Name drops “Virgil Abloh” in the beginning for what reason? Lol no offense but there are way more talented tattoo artists out there that don’t get the recognition they deserve. Also single needle, microscopic tattoos don’t last over time… People are so fascinated by a “celebrity” tattooer. That whole waiting at the lobby, and then someone gets you BS, isn’t an experience – it’s just a gimmick.
This only proves that most people don’t understand what good tattooing is …….
If your in LA you go to Mr.Cartoons.
Idk… Too hyped up for me to get into this guy. Does have some cool designs though.
If you want to be blowed away check out @tattooist_yeono
this is all hype and no substance
"wont blow out the lines in the stem" my guy thats a single needle tattoo. Its going to look like Shrek in 8 years regardless
He is extremely overrated, not a bad artist, but definitely not 'one of the best in the world'.
I've seen prison tats made with single needle self made machine that came out better than..
This is everything wrong with tattoo industry
Single needle will look great for 3 years. Lol.
It's all hype… I'm sorry I don't buy this… ☹️
Let's see these tattoos in 5 or 10 years. So much detail loss is going to occur
hope thats not a leg 3:38
cool tatts, we'll see how they stand the test of time
Бомжи!
woo is trash, only famous because people very low IQ.
🤣
what people dont understand is the micro tattoos and small tattoos with lots of detail look like a blurr 7-12 years later
This is really hard to watch.
this the most hipster tattoo shop I have ever seen lmao
Lol…omg…lol
He markets himself more to the hipster crowd. But as for being a super talented tattoer i think he is overated. His clients talk about how crazy skilled he is with designs and the video shows him tracing something he printed out lol.
Getting my 11th by woo this march 🤙
Mf invented the Pinterest tattoo
Hipster: Hey Virg
Virgil: Who are you?
eh
Now everyone and their mother would be there… Good job GQ
What’s is the camo jumper he’s wearing anyone know?
