Amsterdam Tattoo Museum Update
The Tattoo Artist Magazine blog has posted up a new statement from Henk Schiffmacher regarding the Amsterdam Tattoo Museum. They seem to still be battling on at the moment, negotiating a resolution, trying to sort everything out, all while the fate of the museum is still uncertain. One cool development, however, is a new ‘pop-up … Read more
Update: The Amsterdam Tattoo Museum
A lot has happened since we first posted an update about the Amsterdam Tattoo Museum just the other day, and it’s all really important so an update is already due. Most people are trying to figure out exactly what has happened. Thankfully, the official blog for the museum posted an entry yesterday, explaining a little … Read more
Save the Amsterdam Tattoo Museum
I apologise for the delay with the Thom DeVita Tattoo Age news (which will come tonight), however this came to my attention last night and I’ve been in a rush to help get the word out tonight. Last night most of the tattoo industry was shocked to see that the Amsterdam Tattoo Museum is in … Read more
Jordan Teear in Motorcycle Accident.
Hi guys, sorry I haven’t been completely on the ball for this post. I meant to post it a few days ago, however I wasn’t able to get to my computer. If you’re on Instagram, you’ve probably seen this post floating around over the past few days: Jordan is from London, and works at Frith … Read more
Avoid that Infected Tattoo in the First Place.
Every single day I see this on my dashboard for the site: I wrote this post in 2009, and ever since then tramps who didn’t get tattooed by a pro have been looking at it every week for some really basic ideas on what an infected tattoo might look like. Here’s a bright … Read more
Untrue Shit I hear about Tattooing.
We’re at a time now, where everyone with access to Google is an expert, and everyone who can (or a lot of the time can’t) string a sentence together can make a lot of money from pretty much anything. This is no different around tattooing, and I see a lot of people who don’t really … Read more
Sacred Heart Robbed: Please Help.
I always hate writing these things. Sacred Heart tattoo in Hull was broken into yesterday, and the thieving bastards have taken everything, I’m afraid. Everything from inks, machines, power supplies and needles have been taken. There are four Micky Sharpz machines- one is an iron T Dial liner, numbered 20852. The other is a … Read more
Catch This Bastard
Last night, some nasty little waste of skin broke into the Design 4 Life studio in Liverpool and stole from their front desk. This is the second time in a few short months that I’ve heard of someone stealing from a tattoo studio, and it makes me sick. I have a feeling that the new … Read more
Darlington Studio Burgled. UPDATE: A happy ending!
I really hate it when this sort of thing happens. A studio in Darlington, England called Skin Deep has been burgled this week. Loads of equipment and machines have gone, so I’m guessing the lads there can’t even go back to work until they have some new ones, which makes things even worse. This is … Read more
Guest Spots: Where to Find ‘em, How to Book ‘em.
Tattooers’ guest spots are awesome. For tattoo artists, it gives them a chance to go around the world, see the sights, and learn about tattooing in another country. For the rest of us, it means having a chance to be tattooed by someone you may not usually have the chance to visit, and get … Read more
Have a Good One!
When it comes to good, solid advice about tattoos, the best place to educate yourself is always in a tattoo studio. Tattoo artists know more than anyone about everything from choosing your style and artist to what do do after you’ve walked out the door with a great new piece. Their knowledge is invaluable, and … Read more
A Sacred Transformation
For a few people, tattoos are a lot like therapy. I can kind of see where a lot of them are coming from- some cover up scars, some mark the past and some just want to re-invent themselves. In some ways, it’s really cool that people can take something like tattooing and make it … Read more
Any Idea on the Artist, Guys?
Hey, just a quick post tonight- Do you know who did this piece? Nessy has been wondering who the tattoo artist is behind it. She believes the person who uploaded the picture was named Helmut, if that’s any help! Any ideas on who did this would be more than welcome in the comments section.
