Tattoo Artists Gaining Their Starts From Schools

By Bob Oliver


It's clear that the effort that tattoo artists put forth on a consistent basis is a point that's hard to deny. They know all too well just how important it is for their tattoos to come out as accurate as possible, especially when given the sensitivity of the human skin. From what I have seen, this is becoming more and more of a feasible field to become involved in. It's not totally surprising, then, that students would come away from school with an interest in art regarding tattoos.

Inland Valley Daily Bulletin published an article that spoke about how these types of schools are seeing increases in students becoming tattoo artists. This is especially interesting when considering the idea that, for many years, tattoos were not regarded as "fine art." While tattoos may not reach that level anytime soon, it's hard to deny that they are trendy with particular audiences. The ability to learn about this type of medium is not just relegated to novices looking to earn degrees, either.

Those who are proficient in tattoo artistry have taken it upon themselves to better themselves at their craft. As the article mentioned, Nemeico Lopez is established in this field of work but he took classes in order to sharpen his skills and understand art to a greater extent than before. This isn't just the case for Lopez, as other artists have apparently taken the money that they have earned from clients and went on to apply it to the learning process. The number of aspects present, in my mind, is outstanding.

Tattoo artist and fine painter Sergio Sanchez said that, "the fundamentals are the only things that you can control to recreate an image," regardless of the type of medium that an artist is engrossed in. The same can be said for tattoo artistry. Aspects like shape and value a great deal of importance and, depending on how much they want to learn, artists can take their educational pursuits to various degrees. Some will stay dedicated through entire semesters while others will benefit from single-session courses.

The debate of whether body art can be seen as "fine art" or not is a point that's very much subjective but one cannot argue that this requires a tremendous amount of discipline as well. There's a tremendous amount of detail to consider here and there are so many components that are associated with tattoos in general. The report mentioned that tattooing is a "giving experience." Seeing as how there is a level of trust seen between the customer and the artist, one would be hard-pressed to argue.
