Reinventing the Tattoo - 2nd Edition

[legacy917]

Just kidding.. Already have all of his books.. Paid in full with my own hard earned money, and I thank you Mr. Aitchison.. I was merely showing sarcasm as a means to show how easy and foolish it is tge comments I have heard from some of these scratchers who are looking for an easy way to dwnld your work.. If I were you I would have my legal team watching these torrent sites that are illegally sharing your work brother! Real artists will buy your books, not steal them!!!

[legacy917]

Does anyone have a better torrent than the garbage that's out there now? Has anyone posted each page as it's own entity, rather than a bullshit scan that includes both pages as one? If I wanted to read double page shit, I would just buy the book.. Post a better torrent somebody!!

[ivivond]

what is the name of the book??????

[chaoticute]

@andrademeza It's also mutual selectivity. It's not just the name -- It's that Guy can select his clients, just as much as they can. The price tag can also help to pare down the giant list of clients to manageable size. This goes for a lot of big name artists. I'm not downplaying the importance of of going to local artists - I totally think you should support your local artists, because they're great people who do great work in many cases. But only Guy Aitchison does Guy Aitchison tattoos.

[andrademeza]

so i hear guy charges 250/hour to get inked...hmmm...seems alittle overpriced..sure he's a top tattoo artist but eh thats too much...

[EmmaB3545]

@andrademeza well would you rather go to a guy who charged 70 and tears up your arm and gives you a watered down dull bluurry version of what you wanted?

I mean, you're paying for something permanently On You, you'll see it every day, I think thats the one time you shouldn't spare expense

[andrademeza]

@EmmaB3545 id rather go to a guy who charges around 120/hour maybe even 150/hour....to be honest his 250/hour price tag is more for the big name. id pay 250/hour for some tabori art though..

[INKfectious]

I LOVE INK!!! simple as that brothers!

[spookysixx]

i just got this as a present and i highly reccomend it im an aprentice for now and im not allowed to do big complicated tattoos but this video has a lot knowledge for people in my situation and even people with alot of experience

[Legacytattooman]

Good Artist . DMT? or born with it? who Knows . But still a good artist.

[nervousnotebooks]

@Legacytattooman Art isnt magic its science.

[Legacytattooman]

@nervousnotebooks Dmt isnt magic its a hormone.

[Legacytattooman]

@nervousnotebooks how long have you been a tattoo artist ?

[nervousnotebooks]

@Legacytattooman About 2 years. Did you peep the coricidin box on my drawing in my profile picture is that why you said something about DMT?

[nervousnotebooks]

@nervousnotebooks Nevermind I read the original post I get it now.

[Legacytattooman]

@nervousnotebooks ok so the science part of tattooing is the machine . keeping your machines tuned in at the best specs is inportant, this allows you to do the tattoo without having to worry about what your machine is doing. And the dmt is a hormone that is produced from a gland in the back of your neck right next to your brain stem , it is what gives little kids such a great amagination and as we age it calcifies , so it stops producing as much when we age.

[nervousnotebooks]

@Legacytattooman I think the science of tattooing goes alot further, as in down to the skin (the physiological process of healing) the chemistry of the inks, the phycology of the customer, the fundamental princables of the actual image at hand (composition, color theory, perspective, etc). You could go as far as to say even the buisness demographics of an area! I think that tattooing is more about science and procedural application then other mediums and thats why so many "artists" fail at it

[Legacytattooman]

@nervousnotebooks yes you do have all of what you said right , but in time when tattooing for lets say 10 to 20 years the thought of all that science is instilled in your memory so your body and brain react as an instintcual being and function as if you never even had to learn about the "science" at all. it comes from with in. the magic is what happens after you have learned all the basics. you will see in time it will begin to make sense.

[Legacytattooman]

@nervousnotebooks After all it is still art and a great form of art at that. It has to come from within. if its not in your heart,  you will fail.

[ThePtackett]

ur all fags! Guy is a great tattooist! y are scratchers even watching? obviously your lame so y dnt u stick to wat ur good at and keep fliping burgers? p.s. i am pro and have bin 4 many years and all the rude shit ur about to say is the reason no one will take u in and you work outta ur mamas basement!

[Headshothorror4488]

Anyone know if he uses round shaders for sketching outlines in that 2 second xlip he showed outlining or tights

[TheTotalBastard]

man. why would you call YOURSELF a scratcher.

well.. at least hes honest. Most guys dont even know how to lay a simple line and say they are the best, then teach on you tube.

[ElectricTATT00]

nice :)

[seethishardtube]

great work from Guy I love this...but didn't really see much technique Im not aware of, if you're a natural artist there's not a whole lot you can learn from this, and this is coming from a skratchie

[ViolentCanvas]

@seethishardtube That is by far the worst comment I've ever seen, how about you post a video of your scratching that looks anywhere close to the same level of Guy's work.

[nervousnotebooks]

@ViolentCanvas I second" VIOLENTCANVAS". "SEETHISHARDTUBE" your a douchbag. If we were in a tattoo court of law you would be sentanced in the same way a child rapist would be becuase that would be the sentance for saying anything remotely negitive about Guy's Aichitsons tattooing application process. Everyone is born with certain natural abilities, such as artistic prowess. Nobody is born a lawer, or a doctor, or a welder, and most certainly nobody is born a Tattooist.

@nervousnotebooks Notice I capitalized Tattooist and not doctor or lawyer. Respect the Mother Fuckin Game.

Esse é o cara, simplesmente genial!!!

[elpinplata]

DON MCDONALD!!!!

[punkvernie]

i aint "pro" an i thought guy was better than jumping on the band waggon of hating "scratchers" ahhh well it on utorrent any way....:D

[kowtpr187]

scratchers always stay scratchers until they get professional training.

[punkvernie]

ummmmmmm not true look at some of the "MASTERS" they had no training to speek of an now your saying they r still scratchers??? if thats true every one should be glad to be called scratters now i dont care about them as long as they play it safe for them selves and others.

[kowtpr187]

I still say bullshit...even the "MAsters" eventually fell into the hands of a professional who showed them the proper and more efficient ways to tattoo.

I agree that not everyone starts off as a badass and all that.

[punkvernie]

im not going to argue but it could all be proven with some research.

[nervousnotebooks]

@punkvernie I don't think your "opinion" can be pvoved as its not a fact. You downloaded it off UTORRENT becuase you have to order it through a shop and, you will never be able to work in a tattoo shop becuase you will never be good enough.

[punkvernie]

@nervousnotebooks i could have worked in a shop in lancashire but a sudden move to cumbria due to a family health problems so my tattoo career is on hold, but my painting and motorcycle building work is in full bloom, and i havee seen your stupid little myspace page with one freind, also before dissing my art (that you have never seen) id have hid the crap you have drawn

[johnnattantattoo]

quiero ese libro

[TATTOOTRAINING]

Single handed the best book on the matter hands down . All others are kids play this is a major art lesson .

[kowtpr187]

I agree. This book and DVD are amazing tools. I already knew all the machine tricks and stuff but the art lessons are priceless.

[TattooNOWGabe]

the book is awesome. It is like a college textbook!

[ragz1138]

Thanks Guy for essentially a university level text book in tattooing.

[patefey]

Amazing works! :))

[Kloxboy]

That looks awesome.
