With a lot of these I feel like the medium/media is wrong for the type of art. like design wise, what value does the art add by being a tattoo over a painting or a drawing? a good artist factors the media/medium carefully and gets the most out of it imo - these high art folks are squandering the concept by turning it into a bad looking tattoo

what artists need to understand is that tattooing is done on a living canvas, the skin changes the ink under the skin changes. Other than paint on paper tattoos do not stay the same, the colour fades and expands. Traditional paintings stay the same once they dry, tattoos don't work that way. Artists (usually there are exceptions) want their work to stay the way they are when they are finished, but for a tattoo to stay the way you want it to be, you need the knowledge of how tattoos age and it seems like most of these don't.

I feel like you just don't like surrealist or abstract styles. Which is fine it's not for everyone. But that doesn't make these all bad. Now in terms of bad technique I agree, you should be looking to make them look as good as they can for as long as possible, and some of these you can tell weren't done with that intention. But artists can still achieve these more surreal or abstract effects whilst doing aiming to make it a "technically" good tattoo. Not everything needs to be a traditional style tattoo though.

Ok, you don’t like or understand abstraction, surrealism, etc. Fine. But even so, the actual quality and technique of the work should be judged on its own merits. Just because it may not be immediately obvious to you what it is picturing, does not make it bad. This is, of course, excluding tattoos, that were originally intended to actually picture a recognizable object and were poorly drawn to the point that it is abstract like the first “artist”. 5:41 Work like this I feel is well done, just abstract with a lot of intention behind it.

I almost agree with you on everything, except I wouldn't say that particular example you linked is "well done". While the idea is cool, I think execution for a tattoo is done poorly so it will fade pretty quickly and not very bold lines enough for it to show up better. It would be so much better if it was just good line work, but your point still stands and I agree. I think not everything needs to be american trad like this guy wants it to be

I knew an artist who could do it, he had some on him from years back and it could stay-the white would fade, but it was negative space beneath and it could be touched up. Some of Hyo’s look super light tho, you’re right, but some look darker imo?

If it was executed better it could be cool. But its executed SO poorly it won't work.

People can have opinions about what others put on their bodies (though like Kirk himself has said, what _you_ think about _your own_ tattoo is what matters), but I don't think people saying "you're hurting the _____ industry/community by existing" is productive. It's just people rage-baiting themselves and invalidating others by saying they don't represent the wider group. You don't have to like alternative tattoos, but I think it's unproductive to try to denounce them as being harmful to tattooing. What about the far greater number of people who do shit "regular" tattoos? Every industry is a spectrum. Some people don't like representational tattoos (i.e. tattoos that look like a picture of a specific thing). So should they just never get tattoos? They're adults, they can make a decision to get a tattoo that they like, even if others hate it. That's tattooing. You get on your body what _you_ want. And can an artist never give tattoos if they don't like doing representational tattoos with typical structural line work? No, they can still do tattoos. They could just inform clients that their style doesn't look as similar with time as more structured tattoos. But let's be honest, there are far more people attempting to do "typical" tattoos and doing a shitty job at it without warning their clients than people doing "artsy" tattoos in an intentionally alternative way that their clients actually want. Not my style; I just respect people's choice to get wild existential spider blobs and structureless "mold" tattoos. That's literally completely valid. Always surprises me how judgy some people in tattooing are about tattoos. Seems counterintuitive to me. I definitely agree with some of the valid criticisms here, but a lot of the judgements were about taste

@@freddieperkins6953 I get what you guys are saying but there’s no limitation to what can and can’t be tattooed, if someone wants some water color BS or whatever let them do it. It looks cool to them that’s all that matters. I get tired of all these tattoo purists trying to tell people what does and doesn’t look good as a tattoo

As long as fine art existed, artists have had strong opinions on other artists and criticized them. When Modern art became popular and main stream, the concept of the art became more important than the craftsmanship and the sales pitch was all that mattered. This is hated by many artists, but a few people control the narrative around "art" and selling a narrative is easier that producing quality confirmation Bayes goes a long way.

As much as I have a soft spot for modern art, it is simultaneously one of the most hair-pulling pretentious things I know of There are a million mediocre artists who go off the deep end with art, assigning way too much meaning to whatever weird experiment they are doing. Some of them have interesting or cool ideas. And I love that humans love to explore the edges of what it means to interact with existence. However, throwing easily accessed tattoo machines into the mix sounds like a recipe for disaster Someone take these people’s machines away until they can prove they understand how to operate it safely

There is a discipline in art that should lend itself to mastery of technique that should make some artists good tattoo artists. You can see it in that last artist who has clearly worked on the technique of good line work and clarity and is developing a sense of what the art they are creating will be once it is healed and aged. So many of these are just shock value or poor understanding of what will last.

Look at Greg Christian, Josh Adams, old Johnathan Shaw, and more. There are people who do more “artistic” tattooing while still making super super solid tattoos. The two aren’t mutually exclusive

Most of that stuff: let’s discuss the term ‘graphic dyslexian’. A lot of customers are that way, obviously, but it always takes two to Tango. Just sayin’… 🤘😅 Art Noo-woh, yeah, right. Have that crap on paper or canvas, hang it on the wall, throw it in the bin later.

Heukdo and the Korean Irezumi were pretty awesome. They looked like quality tattoos and were aesthetically pleasing IMHO. The rest were shit, especially Shaknoza (i think her name was), the ones that look like dirt, it drove me crazy how pretentious she spoke about them when all I saw was skin being permanently scribbled on by a drunk person.
