Reinventing the Tattoo, 2nd Edition

Book and DVD Deluxe Box Set

by Guy Aitchison

Three years in the making, this is the long-awaited, fully updated, full-color second edition of Aitchison's ground-breaking educational book, Reinventing the Tattoo. This set includes the massive 368-page hardcover book plus an instructional 75-minute DVD. The DVD contains 40 detailed videos that relate directly the material in the book.

This new second edition follows roughly the same format as the first edition but is far from being a minor upgrade. It has been cleaned-up, expanded, and fully illustrated with color photos and captions. It is even more detailed and comprehensive and provides a more user-friendly educational experience that is unlike any other educational tattoo material in the industry today. It is a complete bible of tattooing.

With 20 years in the tattoo industry, Aitchison has developed the vision and knowledge to help any tattooist improve their artistic ability and hone their techniques within every aspect of the tattoo process. Although Aitchison's organic bio-mech aesthetic may not be yours, and although there are a number of examples of that sort of abstract work, the information contained in this tattoo manual is presented such that, rather than focusing on achieving his style, it simply uses his work to demonstrate more fundamental ideas such as lighting or depth that can be applied to any subject or tattoo genre.

Each book and DVD set includes a serial number that gives you access to Aitchison's personal Reinventing the Tattoo technical online forums, where owners of the book and Aitchison himself discuss everything from preliminary drawing to machine operation to Aitchison's latest pigment preferences and color choices. As an owner of this box set, you can browse through eight years' and thousands of entries' worth of collected knowledge from some of the best tattoo artists in the world. Tattoo artists at every level are encouraged to participate and you can post your own thoughts and comments, start your own threads, view other members' artwork with accompanying critiques, and even submit your own artwork for discussion. Instead of being torn to shreds, other artists within the community will give you constructive feedback that will help you improve and develop your art and technique.
