Sharpie Tattoo Time Lapse

I've seen a lot of sharpie tattoo videos, and they're all really weak with the exception of a few i've seen. George is an aspiring artist and his work is simply amazing. Prepare to be blown away by the difficulty of the free hand artwork.

Envisioned by Ronald, and drawn by George Samson. This is the second time we did the koi, first time around was a little rough and thick because we used normal sized sharpies. So we experimented with fine point sharpies.

George is currently working on a portfolio to help him apprentice for a real chance at becoming a tattoo artist. Hit him up if you would like something designed, drawn, or possible tatted!

Time lapsed 2 hours and 58 minutes, all formed into a 6 minute video.

Note: A lot of you may be wondering if it is safe to be drawing on your skin with sharpies. You might even hear that it can be a cause of cancer.

In some cases, this is actually true. But it really depends how one will make use of drawing on themselves. If you constantly draw yourself with these markers, and constantly go over it for weeks and weeks, you could possibly be exposed to some type of infection.

Sharpies are marked nontoxic and will not cause any ink poisoning by doing these art pieces. Only if he were to go over the drawing itself over and over again for weeks.

We are aware of the caution for doing this type of art, but this is all for the sake of forming a portfolio. Plus, we just wash it off after the pictures are taken. And that only takes 5-10 minutes.

oh excuse me! I thought a tattoo was when you got a needle dragged over your skin over and over until it was permanent! I never knew I could get a TATTOO with a SHARPIE.

Maybe you should rethink the name? hmm?!
