Can Tattoo Artistry Be Learned From The Best Campuses?

By Bob Oliver


Not until recently have I fully understood the level of care that tattoo artists take in their work. When it comes to the many canvases that can be utilized, human skin is among the most sensitive and ink, unless medical procedures are done, is as permanent as can be imagined. It's hard to deny, though, that this is becoming more of a favorable field for artists to get into. If you were to enroll in one of many schools that support creativity, perhaps you'll come out with a similar level of interest.

According to a report posted on Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, there are many schools around the country that seem to be seeing increases as far as potential tattoo artists are concerned. Keep in mind that, for so long, tattoos were not exactly seen as the highest level of art. However, these days, they are trendy with certain types of audiences, many of them covering their whole bodies with this type of art. Those who want to learn about it aren't exactly tied to college degrees, either.

Did you know that there are tattoo artists that have actually gone to college in order to become even better at this field? The article made mention of Nemeico Lopez, who was already an established artist but enrolled in classes in order to become even better. Lopez made a tremendous amount of money from his clients and used it in order to stay in school and learn more. It's clear that Lopez's devotion to better himself at his craft is noteworthy, to say the least.

Sergio Sanchez, who is both a tattoo artist and fine painter, talked about the fundamentals of art as they are, "the only things that you can control," while attempting to recreate a particular design. This goes for just about any medium that can be imagined, tattoo artistry or what have you. There are various fundamentals to consider as well, shape and value being only a couple of examples to consider. Seeing as how they are needed in order to create art, in all senses, the idea of education is made that much broader.

Can tattoos be seen as "fine art" by the masses? While I have a good feeling that this will be debated for some time to come, I have no doubt that very few will be able to argue with the discipline that is involved with the creation of tattoos. After all, there are many different elements that help to make tattoos come to fruition, whether you realize this or not. Seeing as how the customer trusts the artist, and vice versa, the article's mention of tattoo artistry being a "giving experience" is very accurate.
