Are Students Coming Out Of College Tattoo Artists?

By Bob Oliver


I understand that there is a tremendous amount of effort that is taken on the part of tattoo artists. They understand how vital the human body is as a canvas of sorts and, given how sensitive the skin in question, these artists understand that their work has to be done as carefully as possible. Lately, it seems like this is becoming more and more of a favorable field for artists to get into. In fact, those who go to school to learn about art may come out of it with an interest in tattoo artistry.

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.

There are actually quite a few tattoo artists who, while experienced in this type of practice, went to school in order to become better at it. Nemeico Lopez, for example, has already made a name for himself in tattoo artistry but took it upon himself to enroll in classes for the sake of rendering his skills even sharper. Lopez utilized the money that he made from his clients in the past, putting it towards classes to help himself become even better. To say the least, Lopez is dedicated to his craft.

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.

The idea of whether body art can be considered "fine art" is one that can be debated but one cannot deny the level of discipline that goes into it. Attention to detail is one of the most vital components and understanding the aspects that are needed in order for said detail to become as sharp as possible is integral. Unlike many other types of art, tattooing is one that the report detailed as a "giving experience." Judging by how much a customer relies on the artist, perhaps no other term is as accurate.
