10 dingen waarvan je tattoo-artiest hoopt dat je ze weet

Event, News, Tattoos

De meesten van ons die een dienstverlenend beroep hebben, hebben wel een “ideale” klant. In een kledingzaak is het die ene vrouw, die al het gepaste terughangt op de kleerhanger, voordat ze het pashokje verlaat. Mensen die in de bediening werken kunnen die persoon vinden in iemand die de verkeerde bestelling krijgt en het zonder mokken gewoon op eet. Op die momenten, wanneer je die engel van een klant hebt, blijkt werken toch nog niet zo vervelend. Er zijn verschillende manieren hoe je gewoon “cool” kunt blijven en zelfs in de tattooshop het werk van de tattoo-artiest kunt veraangenamen. Lees hier hoe je de ideale klant kunt zijn…..   10...

Why it’s good that tattoos hurt!

Event, News, Tattoos

For many the physical pain that comes with getting a tattoo is the reason they will never get one, but perhaps it is the pain of getting a tattoo that makes them such a good art form. Even if you don’t have a tattoo or know much about tattooing in general you will know one thing, they hurt! A needle repeatedly piercing your skin will never feel like a gentle massage and many people see this as a good thing. Getting a tattoo is journey, it’s a badge of honour that you have to earn. Would a tattoo even be as satisfying if it didn’t hurt? Knowing that you sat...

De tien meest pijnlijke plaatsen voor een tattoo

Tattoos

Luckily, Cincinnati-based tattoo artist Andy Eschenbach of Flying Tiger Tattoo filled Mashable in on which body parts to avoid inking if you don’t want to ride the Carousel of Agony. Want a tattoo with minimal pain? Eschenbach suggests opting for the arms, lower legs and shoulders — all popular locations. However, he also stresses that even the areas listed below are manageable. “People get tattooed in all these places all the time, and they usually do fine,” he says. “The real enemy is their own fear.”   “No one has died in my chair yet,” he adds. “Well, except that one guy, but that was totally his fault.” Bron: Mashable.com

Mag ik crematie-as toevoegen aan tatoeage-inkt?

Tattoos

In de hygiënerichtlijn is opgenomen dat bij het zetten van een tatoeage uitsluitend gebruik gemaakt mag worden van zuurvrije vaseline, Bepanthen of MaximusCare. De inkten mogen alleen verdund worden met water, alcohol, glycerine of mengsels daarvan. Tatoeage-inkten mogen geen schadelijke stoffen bevatten. As van een overledene heeft dan wel een hittebehandeling gehad, maar op het moment dat het verwerkt wordt in een tatoeage zal het zeker niet meer steriel zijn. Daarnaast kan de as alle mogelijke schadelijke verbrandingsproducten bevatten, van zware metalen, tot polycyclische aromaten, tot dioxinen. Vooraf is niet bekend welke schadelijke stoffen aanwezig zijn en wat de gevolgen op langere termijn zullen zijn. Veel tatoeëerders beginnen er dan...

Tattoos not just art

Tattoos

      Tattoos, a beautiful and expressive art form, yet at the same time so much more. People often look at tattoos in a very black and white view, they are a permanent picture upon your body, but what about when tattoos break away from this and show the positive consequences they can bring and the life changing effects they can have. Tattoos are not just an image, they are anything and everything they want to be, a symbol of hope, a sign of progress, an act to make loved ones not feel isolated. Tattoos are awesome and those who disagree are most likely narrow minded, still don’t believe...

Who Wouldn’t Want This Tattooed Sofa in Their Home?

News, Tattoos

    I actually found out about Gina McQueen through tattoo artist Akuma Shugi on Facebook indirectly. She showed up on his profile’s ‘People You May Know’ tab while I was looking through the tattoos he’d done. I wouldn’t have found out about her impressive works if I hadn’t been too curious. Gina McQueen hand paints Irezumi on leather from London. This particular piece she’s been working on the past months happens to be a custom tattooed sofa for a client in New York. Unluckily, Gina have been quite busy the past weeks so she hasn’t been able to go for a little chat. She won’t mind if we share her marvellous creations, though....
