Making is connecting project

Printing and Drawing

Brainstorm our group

At the first lesson I was placed in the group printing and drawing, we had to choose a method to research. Me and my big mouth said 'Tattooing' since I love tattoo's I wish to research this method, luckily I have access to a great tattoo artist and a apprentice who can teach me the know and hows of tattooing. These fantastic people are Abigail Eijsbroek (the apprentice)and Pim de Rijk (the artist) Portfolio of Pim who both work at Art of Ethernity Their site under Stefan who specializes in realism. (I will come back to the different styles of tattooing later) I went there to learn the theory basics, see tattooing with an other perception and experience how this culture works in a tattoo shop.

Tattooing basics

First of all you need to know the basics of tattooing

  • On a stencil you retrace your image so you can stick it temporarily on the skin, wen it's placed you can retrace it with the machine.

The history of tattooing

For the history of tattooing please see the video's. Documentry about tattooing is a very broad documentary about different ways of tattooing, throughout history and gives loads of information. Short history of tattooing is a very short summary of the history of tattooing.

Stick and poke

Stick and poke is the 'analog version' of tattooing. Instead of working with a machine you use pressure, needles to penetrate the skin and push ink into the skin.

Tattooing with a machine

Tattooing with a tattoo machine is very different than it looks. (I still need to experience that which i will hopefully next Wednesday so I can proper update this page) A link which shows how the machine works in slowmotion. When tattooing with a machine you work with needles, which come in different shapes and sizes for different purposes. Also with a machine you can shade, without not (I'll come back to that later under Stick and poke) This link shows how to setup a tattoo machine.
