via HypeBeast

We have been offered the distinguished ocasion of finding out a few things about one of our favourites: Mike Giant, in person. Courtesy of HypeBeast, one of the world's maybe biggest and most important streetwear and fashion blog. Many Thanks.

A couple of weeks back, I got the distinct pleasure of meeting and interviewing legendary tattoo artist Mike Giant, for the first time. With his name popping up within countless fashion/art projects, it was the perfect time to catch up with the famed artist, on several topics that we’ve been curious about. As genuine as any person I’ve met, Mike was quickly stripped of any “cool guy” persona usually associated with successful artists, with a down-to-earth welcome into his home. Aside from his usual array of graphic works for his brand REBEL8, Mike gives us a scoop into future endeavors and a deeper insight into his inspirations, reflections, and thoughts on the current state of art and tattoo culture.
