The Hell Scrolls Research Project

Kyosai was an artist in Japanese history born in 1831, his artwork has influenced tattooing and many aspects of Japanese traditional tattoos specifically. He is most well know for his eccentrically crafted paintings. His talents were renowned throughout Japan during his most prominent days especially as a satirist, targeting the Japanese police force and other aspects of the government with his work. He received multiple jail sentences and countless lashings as a result of his persistence. Kyosai was a total outlaw in his time and a true inspiration. He has a ton of work that has influenced tattooing for over a century most of which got him at least a few lashings for his creativity. In a previous post we discussed the dynamic of an artist Hokusai and his studies,…

Making Waves

blog

We're looking to change the game! You might be asking yourself, "what do they mean by change the game?" We want to change the game by conducting these incredible studies and educating individuals, clients, customers, friends, family etc on the process and research this craft of tattooing needs in order to successfully go into the future. Take the featured image "The Great Wave" by Hokusai, for example, this is easily the most recognized piece of Japanese artwork on the planet. More specifically titled "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" depicts a large wave headed for Kanagawa, Japan. The imagery makes for an incredible tattoo that will stand the test of time. Why is this piece of art still so relevant in the art world and tattooing? Some would say it is…

Cool Video of a Tough Dragon Tattoo Rendering (Must Watch)

blog

I wanted to have some fun today and just discuss the hits. This is a classic image of a Dragon done here at Tabernacle Tattoo. This was a fun one and now you can see the process in a time laps. We study the materials and put in the work to make a proper tattoo here at the shop. Theres only one way to generate consistent material as long as we have and that is to study and put in the work to make it HOT!!! As classic and fun as this image is, we are not limited to Japanese tattoos we offer an extremely wide variety of tattoo styles and concepts for our clients. This study is part of the usual process that goes into each and every custom…

Wizard tattoo design

blog

[caption id="attachment_362" align="alignnone" width="207"] Rainbow wizard action with vortex of space and apocalyptic smoke of the future tattoo design[/caption] [caption id="attachment_364" align="alignnone" width="215"] Pen and ink illustration for Tabernacletattoo merch . Sometimes its fun to see how much impact i can achieve with pen and ink its very direct and translates well in to tattooing. With all the shortcuts in art today it a no fake it until you make it process either you can draw or not! The illustration process is at this point in tattooing is going to be the most valid with half breed tracers at best .Who do not seem to understand balance of composition or backgrounds at all. I really enjoy a natural fluent background with an organic feel as if you were born with…

Ireland adventure at love hate social club

blog

Im really finally getting the opportunity to reflect on some of the things I am truly grateful for, we have been busy at the tattoo shop and for that and our excellent clients Im truly happy. Tampa has been keeping us busy proving awesome custom tattoos but sometimes its always nice to escape one reality and enter another. I traveled to Love Hate Social Club in Cork City, Ireland which was an amazing experience, I got to tattoo a lot of really amazing people during my time there. Love Hate Social Club was founded by Ami James of Miami Ink and Ross Nigel of All-Star Tattoo in Limerick City, Ireland. While I was in Ireland I had the pleasure of working with Damien Ross of Invisible NYC and Paul O'Rourke…

Small Butterfly Tattoo

blog

As much I love having big arm pieces, back pieces, leg pieces, body suits to do, doing small one shot tattoos are always a good time. Doesn't have to be a butterfly or just in black and grey, but this cool guy right here is a perfect example of even though it looks tiny there's a lot of intricate detail within these things. And we can put color on these little guys all day.

Snake vs Rose Battle

blog

This is a water color painting study for a tattoo of this snake guy doing battle with a rose. Why? Probably jealous of the beauty of the flower. I call it The Battle of Tears. Either way, between the snake's fangs or the roses' thorns, some one is going to get pricked and cry. Also, it's a battle some days finding inner creativity to make these drawings more valid and appeasing to the eyes. The snake hasn't really been seen in a positive light throughout history or mythology but he holds a certain beauty about him.
