Justin Bieber vs Banksy

You may or may not of heard that Justin Beiber has upgraded his ever growing tattoo collection with a Banksy rip off. - Below you can see the leaked photos.

Controversial

The teenage heart throb decided to delete the instagram post, possibly once he realised he was bascially infringing copyright aswell as the fact he has compeltly stolen someone elses design but apparently the mysterious Banksy himself posted the photo his Facebook group with one simple word "controversial".

“Amputate under copyright laws” 

Was one comment left on the Facebook page had generated over 2,500 ‘likes’.

Even the tattoo artist Glen Hartless was stupid enough to post a photo of the "borrowed" design in mid-ink.

Banksy himself is one to talk as he is a blatent rip-off of the adorable French man - Blek le Rat 

I think both the results are in that this a straight KO, Banksy lost the etiquate of graffiti and street art the day he sold out and Justin Bieber was far to young to become famous.

Dot shading?

Lately I have noticed a severe increase in dot shading artwork, Painfully I admit that I actually didn't notice the dot shading technique until about a month ago. Now that I have, It's all I find myself researching and trying to replicate myself. 

Has this technique always been popular or is it recently becoming the new cool? (Trendy, hipster, scene, Zack Morris.. What ever you want to call it.)

Anyway... the reason why I am making this post was to shed light on a very impressive tattoo artist by the name of Mike Adams. After discovering his dot shading techniques I began to search all over the web for other types of artwork not just traditional/new school tattoo flash, and there's a whole world of art out there that I just hadn't laid my eyes upon. 

If you have stumbled across this in the hope to see some dot shading , I am going to start you off where I began...

All hail Mike Adams (New York Tattoo Artist)
