TATTOO ALTERNATIVES

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

We are a page set up to encourage creative methods in tattooing.The objective behind this site is to explore opened ended approaches to the regarded methods of tattooing.The Tattoo has reached a time, that through practice, years of development and learning, has become an Art Form of its own right. Traditional Western tattooing has paved the way to evaluate and consider alternative approaches to depending entirely on black line work and heavy shading as the "only way to create a tattoo".No matter what style of taste or technique, weither you use linework or not, a tattoo should flow on the body and look pleasing from a distance and up close. The design should have a high degree of artistic flair and individual style, to reflect that of the wearer and the artist. As we see more and more artists creating their own styles and pallettes we are left wondering how an infinite amount of tattoo styles will be discovered and nurtured in years to come. We are at a time now, as tattoo artists and collectors, that we are stepping into a fast moving and exciting direction in tattooing. With tattoo tv shows in every ordinary household, and conventions reaching larger numbers and size a growing awareness has become evident that there are countless options to rise above the bar of "average".We hope you will welcome and join Tattoo Alternatives as we, a community of artists and collectors strive to take our art one step further. Check out our group too, where you can add pics of your work and have your say on tattoo discussions and debates..come on put your two pennies worth in!
