Historically, tattooing was the art of a craftsman but today it has evolved beyond a craft to a carefully illustrated unique art form. Tattooing is surviving --and thriving --due to its secretive tradition and our need to stand out as an individual. It gives us strength --and most importantly the reminder we are free. Additionally, we encourage the support of other craftsmen and artisans who still work with their hands to keep nostalgia alive, from sign-painting to silk-screening and letter-press. We embrace the modern world, but never lose the craft and emotional connection to the blood, sweat and tears produced by our human hands.
