Kurzbeschreibung
Tattoos and tattoo culture have gone mainstream in the last few years, with popular TV shows such as LA Ink, Miami Ink, and London Ink making celebrities out of tattooists and their clients. Highly skilled artists, many tattooists have moved beyond the artwork they draw on skin to create personal work on canvas. Art by Tattooists is the first book to showcase this art.
The book features twenty-six international artists who use a variety of mediums, from ink, watercolor, acrylic paint, and oil to lino printing, painting on wood and board, and even examples of tattoo-style street art and skateboard graphics. Many of the artists are heavily influenced by the imagery they use as tattooists—roses, hearts, skulls, scrolls, birds, pin-ups, etc.—and carry this into their personal work. Other work features colors, themes, or subject matter that is more subtly related to tattoo styles.
Given the current popularity of all things tattoo-related, the book will have a wide appeal, not only to anyone interested in tattoo art and culture but also to artists, illustrators, designers, and students.

A fascinating look into the minds of some top tattoo artists
18. Oktober 2009
Format:Taschenbuch|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
I don't have any tattoos myself, but I have long been fascinated by the art of tattoos. One of the things that makes tattoo art so fascinating is its limitations, posed by the demands of the client, the equipment and the "canvas" -- living skin. Every tattoo artist must learn to express him- or herself within these limitations. But what happens when those creative minds are unleashed without these limitations? This book answers that question.
Ranging from crude, tattoo-like drawings to fine art still lifes in oil to, in one case, an elaborately illuminated fuchsia toilet seat, the art displays a range that surprised me. Not surprisingly, death, religion, violence and sex are dominant themes here, but by no means the only themes. Skulls, snakes, birds, wings, crosses, Eastern religious motifs -- they're all here, as one would expect, but it's interesting to see what the artists make of them when freed from the limitations of a human canvas and a demanding client.
Each of the 26 artists featured is interviewed briefly, and I found these interviews very illuminating as well. My one complaint is that I wish the book had included some actual tattoos by each artist, just to allow for a comparison of style, technique, and themes.
Still, I found this book really intriguing. It would be a great gift for anyone interested in the art of tattooing -- or in modern graphic design in general.

I LOVE MOM - and so much more
14. Oktober 2009
Format:Taschenbuch|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
Jo Waterhouse never claimed her book was gonna include actual tattoos. This is a compilation of 26 artists' off the skin work. Like ANY gallery exhibit, the work shown is selective - incredibly diverse, a little international - BUT SELECTIVE. And that's kinda what the book resembles, a catalog of an incredibly, wildly entertaining gallery exhibit. The print quality rocks; the intense, various and brightly colored art practically pops off of every page. There are male and female artists, and art that's beautiful, gory, and beautifully gory. A wide array of mediums is explored: acrylics, enamel, gold leaf, gouache, India ink, linoleum, mixed, oil, photoshop, screenprint, and watercolor. The artists created their pieces on board, canvas, illustration board, paper, and wood.
Gotta say I love the size of the book - 8 3/4" square. It's different; small enough to fit in your bag to keep you occupied on the bus, the El, or while you wait in line, yet big enough to hold it's own on the shelf or on the coffee table. All of the art is shown at ample size for absorbing the details, Waterhouse frequently shows just one image that fills the entire page. Because I see this book filling the niche of a nice little overview of off the skin works by artists whose primary job is the art of tattoo, the sparsity of accompanying narrative bothered me not at all.
In summary, I love it, and think it will make a fab holiday gift for both my artist and my tattooed friends and fam.

Good intro for the curious
13. November 2009
Format:Taschenbuch|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
Art by Tattooists: Beyond Flash could have been called "Beyond Flesh" instead, because it features works by tattoo artists that do not use skin as the canvas. 26 artists are featured, and Jo Waterhouse presents 4 to 6 pages of their art. She also gives very brief bios, and snippets of interviews. Typically the written portions discuss what media (besides tattooing) the artists work in, and how their tattoo art influences or differs from their work in other media. Websites are listed for the artists and/or their studios, though why all the myspace links but none to Facebook or Twitter?
As a person who knows little about art and tattooing this was a very satisfying introduction to these artists. It is particularly interesting to see how some of the artists such as Clifton Carter and Regino Gonzales produce works that one would not guess to be by a tattoo artist if not previously familiar with them. One of Waterhouse's goals in producing this work is to show how tattoo artists are finally coming to be accepted as artists, and to this end she is successful.
