Personal Thoughts and Advice:
Tattoo schools should be burned to the ground. There is no way that many competent artists can be created in that short a time. Learning to tattoo takes time, it is unlike any other form of art. Painting and drawing you are laying pigment on top of a uniform surface, tattooing you are injecting pigment into a living object. Tattoos live, grow and die all the while changing and you as a tattoo artist must have the forethought to know what the tattoo will do so that it remains looking good for years. You can't learn that half dozen at a time in a half dozen months. You can't completely learn that in a lifetime. I will die still learning to tattoo. That's how it stays interesting.
Adaptation, growth and willingness to listen are requirements for anyone who wants to permanently mark another person's body. We're changing lives here. It's serious. Take the time, find an apprenticeship. Scrub some toilets, sterilize some tubes. For some it's easy, for some it takes a lot. Everybody has their own path in this art form. Lots of the people who taught me to tattoo I have never met. I spent hours looking at magazines and galleries on the internet. Just trying to figure out what these people are doing. Have fun and learn from everyone.
For those artists already established, don't get mad and don't hate. In the words of Bob Ross, if the guy next to you is doing better than you, learn from him and outdo him.
If you are looking to get tattooed, listen to your artist. Make the time and take the time to talk. If an artists vision isn't yours and doesn't make you happy, find a different artist.
Taken between 1989 and 1993, Sergei Vasiliev’s photographs of Soviet prisoners document the secret code language of criminals in the USSR, evidence of a gritty spirit of picaresque resistance within a violently repressive culture.
Vasiliev worked as staff photographer for a newspaper in Chelyabinsk for thirty years, during which time he was also a prison warden. From 1948 onward, a fellow worker, Danzig Baldaev, had begun drawing and cataloguing the extensive range of designs made by prisoners onto their skin. These homemade tattoos, scraped and inked into skin with melted book heels, urine or blood, contained a whole range of coded messages against the Soviet regime and about the prisoners’ individual crimes.
Although this kind of tattooing was actually illegal, and Baldaev was initially forbidden from continuing, the KGB realised what a resource it could be for their criminal files and eventually supported his documentary project. Vasiliev was brought in to supply hard evidence of the designs’ authenticity. Raunchy, grotesque, filled in with insults against the authorities, the imagery developed its own formulas and conventions; for example, a skull means top criminality, a cat is a thief, and so on. To have no tattoos would have meant the lowest status, a lack of toughness; to have certain tattoos could be the sign of an untouchable.
Thanks to their efforts, the secret police, and us now, know more about the iconography of this underground artistic phenomenon. Far from being isolated illustrations from a catalogue in a tattoo parlour, Vasiliev’s photographs are a humanizing record that places the faces and bodies of the owners (at one point one in five of the Soviet population) right at the centre of the project.
