Curatorial Biography
Grime is one of the most revered and uncompromising artists in the global tattoo pantheon. Founder of San Francisco's iconic Skull & Sword, Grime redefined how large-scale tattoos hug the musculature of the human frame. Fusing traditional Japanese dragon and warrior mythology with raw skate-art kinetics and razor-sharp color saturation, his full bodysuits have inspired an entire generation of modern tattooers.
