This new second edition follows roughly the same format as the first edition but is far from being a minor upgrade. It has been cleaned-up, expanded, and fully illustrated with color photos and captions. It is even more detailed and comprehensive and provides a more user-friendly educational experience that is unlike any other educational tattoo material in the industry today. It is a complete bible of tattooing.
With 20 years in the tattoo industry, Aitchison has developed the vision and knowledge to help any tattooist improve their artistic ability and hone their techniques within every aspect of the tattoo process. Although Aitchison's organic bio-mech aesthetic may not be yours, and although there are a number of examples of that sort of abstract work, the information contained in this tattoo manual is presented such that, rather than focusing on achieving his style, it simply uses his work to demonstrate more fundamental ideas such as lighting or depth that can be applied to any subject or tattoo genre.
Each book and DVD set includes a serial number that gives you access to Aitchison's personal Reinventing the Tattoo technical online forums, where owners of the book and Aitchison himself discuss everything from preliminary drawing to machine operation to Aitchison's latest pigment preferences and color choices. As an owner of this box set, you can browse through eight years' and thousands of entries' worth of collected knowledge from some of the best tattoo artists in the world. Tattoo artists at every level are encouraged to participate and you can post your own thoughts and comments, start your own threads, view other members' artwork with accompanying critiques, and even submit your own artwork for discussion. Instead of being torn to shreds, other artists within the community will give you constructive feedback that will help you improve and develop your art and technique.
In the early autumn of 1991, Seattle was in the midst of reinventing itself. The band Nirvana had just released its first major label recording, "Nevermind." Jeff Bezos had not yet founded his e-tail giant, Amazon. Seattle natives Bill Gates and Paul Allen had taken their software company public five years earlier, and Microsoft was on its way to global computer domination. Meanwhile, East Coast transplant Howard Shultz was repositioning the artisan coffee-bean roasting company he and others had purchased in 1987 into an international chain of high-priced coffee shops.
Tattoos are a highly popular medium, with both artistic and medical applications. Although the mechanical process of tattoo application has evolved historically, the results are reliant on the artisanal skill of the artist. This can be especially challenging for some skin tones, or in cases where artists lack experience. We provide the first systematic overview of tattooing as a computational fabrication technique. We built an automated tattooing rig and a recipe for the creation of silicone sheets mimicking realistic skin tones, which allowed us to create an accurate model predicting tattoo appearance. This enables several exciting applications including tattoo previewing, color retargeting, novel ink spectra optimization, color-accurate prosthetics, and more.
