Rising popularity of tattoo artists
One of our past episodes of Off The Map Live (interview clip below) featured Carlos Torres. Carlos was a fantastic guest and incredibly down to earth the whole time. Many view Carlos as one of the leading artists in tattooing, specifically in the black and grey style. Carlos is highlighted as one of the few people who has a spot reserved on the nearly covered Benjamin Laukis. The article covers the growing trend in collecting from upper echelon tattoo artists. Our host Ben Licata actually talked to him about getting an appointment with this incredibly busy artists.
We recently caught an article that interviews Benjamin Laukis who discusses collecting tattoos. The article also catches up with TV's Best Ink person Sarbina Kelly who discusses lasering.
"She said most of her clients were heavily tattooed people who wanted to replace older tattoos that were poor quality.
Ms Kelley said in the past 10 years the quality of tattoo artists had improved and people wanted to reuse their prime skin real estate for a more valuable work of art."
