Electronic Tattoo Machines GettingInked

Sun, 20 Nov 2011 21:51:16 GMT

Tattooing was revolutionized by Samuel O'Reilly's invention of the electric tattoo machine during the last decade of the 19 th century. The time required to complete a design went from hours to minutes, moving the art away from personally conceived, hand picked designs towards stock choices that were displayed like art on the walls of the tattoo parlor. Much of this tattooing was also conducted in the back of beer halls and barbershops. The years ahead would see vast improvements in O'Reilly's...

Like depth, luminosity is a great effect in a tattoo that has a strong visual impact and brings life to the piece. We can use lighting effects to simulate convincing texture on the skin, create a realistic illusion of depth, or bring attention to an important element. We can use it as language, as well a holy light, coming from above, a sinister light, coming from below, or a transcendental light, coming from within. Good lighting effects will add readability to a piece and help to balance its...

In the 1970s, the counter culture in America rediscovered the beauty of primitive and tribal taboos. The most copied designs are primarily from Borneo, Japan, and the islands of the South Pacific. In the 1980's, Celtic tattoos became very popular, probably as a result of the popularity of Wiccan and pagan religions among young people.

A tattooist must have confidence with his machines and must learn to run them properly, not have them run him. Tattoo machines may vary in appearance but they all run basically the same, and perform the same function, driving a needle up and down very fast, perforating the skin and driving ink in as the operator steers it along while leaving a trail behind. This is done when...

Let's redefine small as tattoo-sized, 8x10 or even smaller, like 3x4. From the tattoo-sized perspective, 2'x3' is quite large, backpiece sized.

Shadowing SuccessfulTattooing

Thu, 10 Nov 2011 17:32:48 GMT

Good tattoo shading requires experience and is an acquired skill. Diligent practice pays off here because sometimes tattoo artists are judged solely by their peers on the quality of black shading that they do. If done too light, it will not stand out. If not feathered right, it will appear blunt and the shading looks as if it ends abruptly. This is called dead-heading and is undesirable. Shading must be mastered because, not only does it really make a tattoo stand out, but many tattooing errors...
