Na época em que comecei tatuar, a técnica não era muito difundida no Brasil, a tatuagem era muito discriminada, era difícil comprar materiais e obter ensinamentos, não existiam internet e empresas que investissem no ramo. Revistas brasileiras, somente uma em meados de 94. Em 1993, abri a Master of Tattoo com o "beicinho", fomos sócios. Faço a maioria dos estilos, acredito que um profissional deve TENTAR ser completo e estar sempre aprendendo, não precisa ser o melhor, mas sim fazer o melhor que puder, sendo sempre exigente. Tatuo profissionalmente a mais de 15 anos e o Taurus Tattoo foi inaugurado em 1999.

Dentre as tatuagens publicadas, um destaque para: carpa dourada, cruz tribal, tatuagem do Flamengo, beija-flor, cobra cover-up, tatuagem do vasco, cavalo alado e escrito: mens sana in corpore sano.

Karen's Ink Balances the Physical and the Intellectual


Monday was a good tattoo day. I met Karen on Sixth Avenue in the 20's after her right ankle caught my attention and we chatted for a bit about tattoos.

The piece above is about 10 years old and is based on Northwestern Native American art. Karen studied art history in college and felt that this style of art is "smarter" and speaks in "more intelligent visual dialects" than other art forms.

This tattoo is based on "the dance of the wolf hunter". The following piece is similar in design.
It represents the physical aspect of her self.

Around 10 years ago, Karen finished college and drove up to Valdez, Alaska. She had no immediate purpose to go there, but she was just exploring, seeing that part of the country.

It was there, in a town so small that the grocery store often ran out of bread, that she found an amazing tattoo artist working out of a place called, appropriately, Valdez Tattoo. She didn't remember the artist but could recall that he was Hawaiian, which struck her as remarkable.

A quick call to the number listed on the net for Valdez Tattoo was a wrong number and the person who answered the phone wasn't aware of any tattoo shop nearby. So finding a link met with a dead end.

On the other hand foot, the physical aspect of the wolf tattoo seems, in her opinion, to balance the intellectual qualities of her other tattoo (on her left foot), which was inked somewhere in Chicago over 10 years ago.
Karen explains that the moon represents the feminine, and that the symbol within the moon is the astrological sign for Jupiter, which stands for knowledge and expansion of the mind.

Thanks to Karen for sharing her ink with us here on Tattoosday!

Correction on the Dell tattoo

Okay, so a while back I posted here about really bad logo tattoos. One in particular stood out, a Dell tattoo:

To me, Dell is a kind of lame, nothing-brand-- not one that I thought anybody would be stoked about enough to get it branded on them for life. So I made fun of the dude with the Dell tattoo. He emailed me today:

"i am emailing you. about your post about tattoos, 1 special one tho, the dell tattoo, see that tattoo is actually my tattoo, see my name is Todd Dell, in my life i always got the DUDE YOUR GETTING A DELL. and stuff like that i always laughed it off, so my friend was like dude you should get the LOGO tattoo on you i was like sure, thus knowing i could get away with it, no im not a nerd, i dont even own a dell computer, im actually a mma fighter lol."

So, I take it back. Sorry, Dell guy. You have a sense of humor about your name and you got a tattoo to prove it. You are officially awesome.
