Welcome to
the world of skin art where getting inked is the passion
many people share. Many will quote to say tattoos are
an addiction..."you get one and before you know it, you
can't wait to get another one to add to the collection".
Today,
tattooing is an active art still practiced the
traditional way amongst many indigenous tribes and
cultures, but for
the majority, the preference of technology at it's best,
(the electric gun), their artist (Tattooist), and studio
is where you will find these people getting inked. The
high quality of work and art is a competitive world
today with National and International Tattoo Shows &
Expos which add to
the trend that gone are the days when getting a tattoo
was something frowned upon by Society.
For the
Viewers, this is an inside perspective of
the Artists at work and the people who share their
tattoos, works
of art and studios.
