Mario Barth "Ink Not Mink" Ad

Mario Barth is the celebrity tattoo artist!

He hosts the annual Biggest Tattoo Show on Earth and decorates celebrities and regular people at his studio Starlight Tattoos.

He’s inked down the bodies of Jason Kidd, Fieldy of KoRn, Nikki Sixx, My Chemical Romance, rapper Jim Jones and Tommy Lee, who’s even had his own “Ink Not Mink” ad.

Shown here is Barth coming out to urge tattoo fanatics that while it’s okay to play with your own hide, it’s best to leave animals’ alone.

“Be comfortable in your own skin and let animals keep theirs,” the ad reads.

BTW, have you ever stopped to think if your tattoo is vegan?

Parts of the ink solution, such as color pigments can sometimes be derived from animals, and additional ingredients like glycerin may also be unveggie friendly.

It’s always best to investigate.

Blink-182 is on their highly anticipated reunion tour, with 50 U.S. dates set up.

Guitarist Tom DeLonge plays the role of multi-tasker, also having a side musical project, Angels and Airwaves, and a shoe company, MacBeth, which features trendy vegan shoes for both men and women.

“We just released a shoe from Mike Dirnt of Green Day, we having stuff coming up from Davey Havok of AFI, Frankie from My Chemical Romance, a special shoe from Muse and a lot of rad stuff,” DeLonge said. “It has taken a few years for people to realize Macbeth is a really good shoe company, and we are trying to work with the coolest bands possible. The shoes are awesome, and I think people are finally catching on, and it is doing better than it has ever done. We are securing a place in shoe history.”

Macbeth’s first shoe, The Eliot, was launched in 2002.

The rest was history.

Not long ago, we told you how Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance and LeATHERMOUTH designed some vegan shoes for MacBeth that included anatomically correct figures and instructions showing men and women how to check for and prevent testicular and breast cancer.

Here’s a video of Frank personally introducing the shoe in which portions of the sales go to the Syrentha Savio Endowment, a non-profit organization that works to fight breast cancer.

Frank shows where and how to cut the shoe to reveal his “artwork.”

There are two versions of the shoe, rated G and PG-13, depending on if you want to “fight” cancer, or use a more color expression, as you can see from the still frame of the video. 

Franks jokes he hopes you like it, but if you don’t, don’t tell him.

We’ll clear the air of any suspicion: We like them!
