Bob Mosquito

About a quarter of a century ago, Hungary’s Bob Mosquito was lounging in the gardens of the University of Pécs when a studio owner dropped by and asked if any art students there would be interested in trying their hand at tattooing. Bob took the opportunity and never looked back. Weren’t for that fateful moment, the tattoo scene might not have been graced with his impressive style — which often applies collage aesthetics to surrealism, blending scientific illustration-like animal depictions, human portraits, and idiosyncratic elements. And it’s not a bad sign to realize people are starting to refer to a certain aesthetic as a “Bob Mosquito”.
