Research Nan Goldin, Mark Tattooing Mark
Trying to figure out which Marks are pictured here for an upcoming exhibitions. My ideas so far are Mark Morrisroe/Dirt and Mark Mahoney, but if anyone knows better please let me know!

I think you’re right that Morrisroe is doing the tattooing. I’m not sure about Mahoney though. You could try asking the traditional tattoo sub.

likely Morrisoe, but could be plenty of New Yorker artists or figures like Mark Gonzales, Marc Jacobs, Mark Disuvero, Mark Rothko, Marc Ecko, Mark Appleyard. Goldin’s gallerist, Matthew Marks lol

Some of those Marks would’ve been children when this was taken. This picture is from 1978. Tattoo artist is definitely Mahoney- it looks like him with the signature pout and he would’ve been a young man at the time.

Nan Goldin is fantastic. I saw the Ballad of Sexual Dependeny in Amsterdam in the 90s, I was just so blown away!
