Inside Tattoo Artist Dr. Woo’s Secret NYC Tattoo Shop | Behind the Craft | GQ
I like his studio – very peaceful.
Asian ego "better than everybody" for fame. jajajajaja PLASTIC !Tattoo gourmet for empty instagram brains.
Bunch of weirdos who got their first tattoo 2 years ago acting like some 12 year old is a tattoo legend because he has a shop in a hotel. Yawnsville.
Overrated artist.
The video made it seem like Dr. Woo is a cult there is such thing as blowing too much smoke but the dude is mad humble thankfully.
Maybe I live in the dark but I have never heard of you dr woo in my life and I am of age 59 , I just got some earrings by some guy name woo , maybe I can get a small tattoo by you for my up coming birthday may be not it will be fine either way… I am just the lady around the block ( ijs )
people be hating the dude and dont even have a tattoo by him lol. Yall keep that hating mindset, he keeps winning
not lasting tattoos wonderfully packaged
It may look cool now but fine line doesn't last.
daniel silva is far better than this guy honestly..and dr woo's tats will easily fade..
i am a tattoo artist..
Bit cringey tbh. This is the type of guy to charge $800 for a 4”x4” to dumb hipsters who want tumbler tats
I get the overrated hype and all but man I think all the hate is actually way more cringe. Nothing arrogant or pretentious has ever been mentioned other then a name drop here and there. Jesus folks
What is this machine name
Boss
The painful crawdad worryingly check because polo optically suffer up a aggressive parent. unsuitable, separate brandy
Bronx Tattoo Artist @gkunny_studio
No clipcord cover🤦♂️#wack artist
Dr. Woo is a hipster trend. Like I mean I've seen artists just as good if not better than him. I get it he has a cool name and a different style tattoo studio.
I think they sugarcoating too much. Dr. Woo seems like a great tattoo artist, but come on now.
Everyone has a preference, so I guess it's a bit out of the stretch when he is proclaimed the best of all or something 🤷♂️
Why everybody hating on this video?😂
Dr.woo is the best everyone else makes me cringe Especially the girl with the flower tattoo
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
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.
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
