Guy Aitchison, Jeff Gogue, and Canman on TattooNOWtv

Hey folks!

TattooNOWTV.com has been releasing long play video interviews with some of the worlds top talent for over a year, but now they have also been breaking the hour or two long live webcasts into short attention sized clips. These interviews are pretty awesome, and we have edited clips with good advice for both tattooers and for the general public. If you like these videos, please let us know so we can present more to you!

Jeff Gogue, internationally known for his famed original tattooing style and amazingly popular tattooing seminars, talks about how to attract large scale tattoo clients. Jeff chats about how the Shige and New Skool Collective backpiece books and his own experience getting a backpiece have help open clients vision. He is also asked if he feels like his work plateaus, and about learning to tattoo better. Whether you are a tattoo collector or just someone vaguely interested, this is great advice from one of the worlds top tattoo artists. Avoid tattoo mistakes that are easy to make but difficult to fix!

Nikko Hurtado, internationally known for his famed realistic portrait tattooing style and cutting edge tattooing seminars, joins Guy Aitchison, Canman, and host Ben Licata to discuss about how to collect amazing tattoos. 

Guy Aitchison talks about his past tattoo seminar at World Wide Tattoo Conference Chicago and his famed Bio Organic tattooing style. He also goes into detail with the key differences between Chicago World Wide Tattoo Conference and World Wide Tattoo Conference Boston. For Boston's Tattoo Conference Guy Aitchison will be bringing tattoo education to a more "nuts and bolts" level compared to the more theory based Chicago seminar. The upcoming tattoo class will be accompanied by a high definition tattoo video which Guy Aitchison will highlight and discuss with the participants. This is not meant for people looking to learn how to tattoo, but better evolve and improve their ability.

For tattooers and tattoo fans with attention spans! Watch the complete 2 hour episode in its entirety which also features famed tattoo artists Jeff Gogue and Nikko Hurtado who answered a number of fantastic questions via Skype and Canman who was in house and talked about his style and what he learned from Guy Aitchison's painting critiques.

Summer 2013

 

Just back from a successful and exciting trip to Colombia, where I taught a tattooing seminar in Medellin, made possible by Ramiro at Ganesha Tattoo and of course all the awesome poeple who signed up and attended.  South America is an amazing place, I highly encourage any tattooers who'd like to travel and work down there to contact Ramiro and ask him about how to make it happen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Up next is another seminar, this time at the Worldwide Tattoo Conference in Boston, Massachussetts June 4-5. These intensive 2-day events are packed full of advanced information for the continuing education of tattooers, and in terms of potential long-term benefit to one's tattoo career and creativity, are quite a good investment of time and money. If you're not familiar with this groundbreaking educational effort, which is the brainchild of phenomenal tattooer Alex De Pase, check out the event details here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After that, not much is in the works until the end of summer, when the next Hell City convention comes to Phoenix, AZ.  I'm fully booked with tattoo appointments already, but I'll have assorted merch like books and stickers available for sale and for free.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In fine art news, my recent painting "Anointing" was chosen as a finalist for the upcoming International ARC Salon Catalogue, which you can now buy from the Art Renewal Center's website. This yearly competition and printed catalogue represents some of the best in realism art from around the world, and I'm flattered to be chosen for the 2nd straight year.

So things went well in Rochester at the Roc City Tattoo Expo. We had a lot of good times and made some cool tattoos. We came home to welcome Ty McEwen back to Graceland Tattoo. He's a good friend and a great artist. It's always a pleasure to have him in the tattoo parlor bringing his unique style of bio organic and color realism to Wappingers Falls. Toward the tail end of Ty's visit Clifton Boggs, of Eulogy Tattoo, came by to make some tattoos for the day. It was a reall cool thing, I've been a fan of Cliftons work for quite a while. With a little luck, he will be back. I'll be hosting Jeff Johnson yet again in July as well as Pittsburgh tattooer Joe Thompson. Check back for dates. This is a little tattoo I made while in Rochester.

Mr. Jones has been settling in quite nicely at our Grants Pass, OR studio since he joined the team in March. In that time he has stayed very busy building clientele, doing some great tattoos, and creating wonderful pieces of art. He recently posted a new blog entry on his website and just started a Big Cartel Store where you can purchase some of his original pieces of artwork, fine art prints, and apparel. Check out what's up with Mr. Jones today! We're sure you won't be disappointed! Don't forget to find him on Facebook and Instagram as well.
