PBS Off Book: Tattoos – Pop Portraits, Japanese Traditional, and American Eclectic

Tattoos continue to remain a strictly ‘analog’ means of self-expression in an increasingly digital world. The PBS Off Book series is dedicated to exploring concepts like these, where definitions of art are continuing to be redefined in a modern, new-media society. In this new episode, Off Book delves into the permanent, self-expressive world of both modern and traditional tattoos. To do this, they sit down with three artists from dramatically different backgrounds to learn about the styles and motivations behind the decidedly permanent and analog art they are creating. Some of the featured personalities include Vinny Romanelli of Red Rocket Tattoos, Kiku of Invisible NYC, and Stephanie Tamez of Saved Tattoo.

Visions of Visionaries: Zombie Boy

MADE recently sat down with Rick Genest, better known as Zombie Boy due to his head to toe tattooed frame, to explore this phenomenon. Rick Genest achieved world fame as the face of fashion house Thierry Mugler, where he was discovered by creative director Nicola Formichetti.

A Film for Dasha Zhukova's Garage Magazine Reveals the Passion Driving the Tattoo Scene

Internationally renowned tattooist Mo Coppoletta divulges the personal significances of being inked in this intricate profile by filmmaker Ryan Hope. Owner of influential London parlor A Family Business, Coppoletta has turned his dedication into a lifestyle, making international pilgrimages to be tattooed by those at the pinnacle of the craft. “For me the key to a brilliant documentary is to tell it through a brilliant character,” says Hope. “Mo has an amazing technique and dedication, he is an absolute purist. His energy and his style are beautiful.” Today’s short is an exclusive extract from Hope’s documentary Skin, which follows five skin-art collectors on their journey to be tattooed with designs created by major contemporary artists Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, Raymond Pettibon, Jake and Dinos Chapman, and Richard Prince. Originally commissioned to accompany a Hedi Slimane photo shoot featuring the contemporary artists and collectors for Dasha Zhukova's Garage magazine, Hope redeveloped the original concept. “It seemed more interesting to tell the subject's story, rather than that of the artists themselves,” he says.
