In one of the biggest moments in Mario Barth's career, he has won his hometown's "Grazer Man of the Year" award. The award was honored due to his social engagment to help breast cancer patients with medical tattoos of the areola after their operations. A duty he quotes as one of the most fulfilling and joyful parts of his career as a tattoo artist. In 2017 he will work with Dr. Thomas Rappl to build a clinic in Graz for medical tattoos.

Mario Barth was invited by Mayor Sigfreid Nagl and Klaus Weikard to the traditional Styrian Oberlandlerball. What an honor! 700 people came together to celebrate Austria's traditional heritage, all wearing their traditional "dirndls" and "anzug".

The ball at the Opera in Graz is one of the most exclusive balls in Austria. The Opera in Graz was built in 1899. More than 2,500 people came to the event this year to enjoy an evening of glitz and glimmer. For Mario it was his first invitation to the ball and he enjoyed the evening with friends both new and old. His thoughts for the future are to bring light to the tattoo art and lifestyle in an event that is just now opening up to the mainstream.
