THE PHILOSOPHY
Rex King is the keeper of the Old School flame at Mad Dog. Dedicated to the legendary foundations of American tattooing, Rex focuses on bold outlines, saturated colors, and timeless iconography. His work is built on the '20-foot rule': if you can't read it from across the street, it's not a real tattoo.
Old School
Traditional
Bold Color
Flash Art
PROJECT FIT
Tigers, eagles, daggers, and classic seafaring imagery. Bold, heavy, high-contrast pieces that pop and never fade into 'blobs'.
HARD NO'S
Watercolor, anything with 'wispy' outlines, or trends that break fundamental tattoo rules.
