• Amatuer Tattoo Artists / Scratchers

  Think about the future for a second. Think of flying cars, alternative fuels, and medical miracles and then, think of cockroaches. Yes I said cockroaches. Sure the future will be bright and shiny with hovercrafts and cyborg gerbils, but we will also still have our little six legged buddies feasting on a crumb of cornflake or pooping behind the hovering La-Z-Boy. Cockroaches will be with us no matter the strides we make, and unfortunately, so will scratchers.

  What is a scratcher?

  In short it is a person who tattoos badly, in unsafe conditions, and without proper training, materials, or ability. Like roaches they live off of crumbs, doing work that a legitimate tattoo shop wont. Things like trading tattoo work for drugs, tattooing minors, or simply doing work cheaper than a quality shop will work for. A scratcher usually works out of their home studio, which is a fancy way of saying "kitchen". Scratchers tend to have a "real" job and simply tattoo "on the side", this of course leads me to wonder how many people would go to a dentist who only filled cavities "on the side", but I digress.

  Most scratchers fall into two categories, there are those who simply are looking for fast money and there are those who believe that scratching is the way to become a legitimate professional tattooer. Sadly, both types typically find that their notions are wrong, but not before doing terrible, unsafe work on people. The amount of money to be made tattooing is never what you hear about on MTV, and when you factor in things like no vacations and no healthcare all that "easy" money goes up in a puff of smoke. For the scratchers who think that they will "get good" scratching and then go work at a shop often seen surprised that they never actually "get good" (or even "get better than shitty" in most cases) since tattooing almost never can be "self-taught". But you can't tell a roach that the donut he's trying to single handedly lug under the couch wont fit any more than you can tell a scratcher that their notions of tattooing are unrealistic.

  A scratcher will often find equipment from ads in the back of tattoo magazines. These companies offer numerous "kits" which contain everything needed to tattoo from home... everything, that is, except an autoclave. The people in tattooing who make quality equipment will sell only to professional tattooer, so the scratcher must make due with sub par supplies from shady manufacturers that do more scarring than tattooing generally.

  Also as one might imagine, tattooing is not something that one can simply start doing well, it requires training both technically and for safety standards. Pity the poor scratcher when they realize this "training" doesn't come with the kit ol' scratchy orders from the back of a magazine. Instead he begins "practicing" (otherwise known as "fucking up") on the first victim and just goes on from there, usually with the same needle.

  Consider this idea for a moment, if a person is willing to ignore legal regulations about zoning, I.D. requirements, and age limits, what makes you think they will decide to abide

  by rules for things like, say, sterile conditions, prevention of cross contamination , or single use equipment?

  I get the heebie jeebies just thinking about it.......

  Scratchers typically are not well respected by professional tattooers, and by "not well respected" I mean they are hated with a passion. A scratcher will often say that this is because legitimate tattooers are "jealous" or scared of the scratcher "taking business", in reality a scratcher siphons off so little business that its laughable (or would be if their customers weren't usually underage kids) and does such crappy work that they actually generate business for real tattooers in the form of cover-ups and re-workings. They are called scratchers for a reason, folks.

  As for jealousy, why on earth would a professional enjoying good word of mouth and doing art out of a clean studio be jealous of a guy who tattoos off of his kitchen table for chump change? (Scoot them spaghetti-o's over Ma, I gots me a tat to do)

  So if it's not jealousy or stealing business, why do scratchers get met with such hostility by professional tattooers? To see why, it is necessary to understand a little of the history of tattooing first.

  Until the mid 1980's, tattooing was regarded by the vast majority of mainstream society as a deviant, borderline criminal activity. "Sailors, whores and queers" was the mantra polite society chanted about tattooing in popular books and magazines of the day.

  Through the diligent work and public relations efforts of tattooers like Don Ed Hardy, Lyle Tuttle, Spider Webb and numerous other tattooers in the 1970's and 80's, the image of tattooing began to change. In the further decade since, hygienic standards and artistic quality advanced by leaps and bounds. Along with it, the respect for tattooing as a legitimate, safe, and beautiful art form began to take hold among society at large. This was hard work, requiring all tattoo artists to hold themselves responsible for the image of tattooing. Each one of us felt (and still feels) that our behavior and work represents tattooing to a still largely ignorant public, it is a never ending battle to push the stereotype of the unclean, unfriendly, untalented tattooer back to the dark ages where it belongs.

  Unfortunately for those of us who put our hearts and souls into tattooing, there are some people who instead portray tattooing in its worst light. Yup, I mean scratchers.

  Scratchers were universally despised by professionals in 'the old days' of the 50's and 60's and sometimes found themselves being visited by large hairy men wielding lead pipes in the dead of night in order to convince them of the need for a career change. Now a days, we are more enlightened and seek to let the public know about how unsafe and untalented these guys are instead of giving ad hoc thumb amputations. Unfortunately, since allowing them to keep all their digits, they are more vocal about their presence and this reflects on all of tattooing, professional as well as underground.

  In a society that judges an entire group by the actions of one of its members, a scratcher can, and frequently does, drag legitimate tattooing back to the gutter in many people's minds. When a local television station does a story on a scratcher who tattoos a minor out of his/her house, the news program makes no distinction between whether that person is a professional or not. The headline simply reads "Tattooer arrested for inking Minor". The general public then makes the assumption that all of us are as lacking in morals as the one scratcher. More than a few communities have banned tattooing because of the work of scratchers; ironically these hacks continue putting out horrible unsafe work while the legitimate shops are legislated out of existence.

  So maybe you can understand why professionals tend to take a, shall we say, dim view of the efforts of scratchers. We are angry with scratchers not because they affect our business (because they actually don't) but because they affect how society sees tattooing! We get mad when we see someone who does not accept the enormous responsibility tattooing demands and instead looks for a short cut in an art form where no short cut really exists.

  We literally feel sick when we see a person who comes in with some horrible piece of crap tattoo a scratcher inflicts upon them and sheepishly asks us "what can you do with this".

  Obviously the best form of prevention is to avoid being a victim in the first place. Like the old sailor said, "If'n ya don't want crabs, don't go to the girls that are scratchin'." In our terms this means avoiding getting tattoo work done at home studios, tattoo parties, and studios where the artist wont explain their sterile procedure or show a portfolio of their previous tattoo customers work. A little common sense goes a long way; does the artist use gloves while setting up his/her equipment? Does the artist have a portfolio of work with clean, bright, solid tattoos? Most importantly, do you feel safe in the environment? If you're sitting in some guys kitchen while a couple dogs run in and out and the artist has to shove aside beer cans to get to his equipment then chances are you should run, run like the wind.

  Speaking of equipment, many folks assume that if someone has tattoo equipment - they are able to use it. Think of it this way: I have a pair of scissors myself but you sure as hell don't want me giving you a haircut.

  This junk is ordered from unscrupulous companies whose ads can be found in all the worst tattoo magazines. They cater to those searching for a 'starter kit' and if you read the ads closely the one item that never comes in a starter kit is an autoclave sterilizer.

  When you decide to avoid a scratcher you are doing a good deed not just for yourself and your immune system, but for tattooing as a whole! The respect you show for professional tattooing takes the profit out of the scratcher's world and puts it back with the folks who truly care about your hide.

• Five Must-Knows When Getting a Kanji Tattoo

  Five Must-Knows When Getting a Kanji Tattoo
  by: Stephen Munday

  Q: What do famous celebrities like Pink, Britney Spears and the Spice Girls’ Mel C all have in common?

  A: They all have Japanese kanji tattoos!

  Japanese tattoos are cool. Of course, if you have money to burn like any of these ladies, you can afford to hire a professional translator to pick out the perfect character combination. But if personal translation is out of your league how can you avoid becoming a kanji fashion victim and get stuck with a tattoo you will really regret?

  1. Know the difference ? hiragana, katakana and kanji

  Before you talk to your tattoo artist, make sure you know what you are talking about. You say you want a Japanese tattoo, but what do you know about Japanese characters? You need a quick stint in 2-minute Japanese boot camp.

  First off, let’s be clear that there is no Japanese “alphabet”. There are three sets of Japanese characters ? hiragana, katakana and kanji ? and each group has its own history, function and style. Get your head around these facts and you will already know more than 99% of the people walking around with Japanese tattoos right now:

  Hiragana ?

  These simple, rounded characters represent sounds, but have no independent meaning. They were developed by women in the Heian period and are still considered feminine by Japanese people.

  Katakana ?

  Developed by Buddhist monks around the same time as hiragana, these are simple, angular characters that also represent sounds and have no meaning of their own. You saw them cascading down the screen in Matrix (although they were backwards!)

  Kanji ?

  Originally from China, these characters are like pictures, representing a meaning and also several different sounds depending on the situation.

  Just reading this has probably given you an idea of which style you might like for your tattoo ? but don’t stop just yet! Now you know what kinds of Japanese characters there are, let’s move on to…

  2. Writing styles

  Come a bit closer. Lean forward towards the screen. That’s right. Now, look at the words in front of you. Take a good, close look at the shapes of these letters. OK? Now tell me honestly: Would you want a tattoo in Times New Roman? How about Tahoma? What’s that? You don’t want a tattoo by Canon or Epson? Sure you don’t. And in the same way, you don’t want to have your Japanese tattoo looking like a printout either!

  So, now we move on to writing styles. Just like there are three kinds of Japanese characters, there are also three ways they can be written. Don’t worry. This is easy! I know, you are thinking that you can’t even read Japanese, so how on earth will you be able to recognize these different styles? Well, try this:

  Kaisho ?

  Block letters. You learned to write your ABCs like this, and Japanese kids learn to write their characters in just the same way: Like a Volvo ? boxy but good.

  Gyousho ?

  Cursive letters. You moved up to middle school and learned you could write faster by letting the parts of some letters flow into the next. Yes, you guessed it - the Japanese do the same thing, and they call it gyousho.

  Sousho ?

  Super-cursive letters. Ever seen a prescription from a doctor? Then you know what sousho is like in Japanese: Sure, the writer or some other trained person can (probably) read it, but no one else has a clue what it says!

  Are you getting the picture? If you want to look like a computer printout, then be my guest and go for the kaisho style. That’s your choice. But I think you probably want to use either gyousho or sousho for your tattoo. My personal preference would be gyousho: It’s stylish, but it won’t leave even native speakers baffled.

  3. Real or fake?

  Remember I mentioned Mel C at the beginning? Well guess what kanji she got tattooed on her arm? That’s right ? “Girl Power”: Great in English, but show this kanji combincation to most Japanese people and you’ll get a blank look at best. Want a worse example? Try “big daddy”. Now, you know what it means in English, but put it into kanji and you end up with “large father”! It just doesn’t work.

  I’m sure you remember that kanji are the only characters that have meaning as well as sound. And their beauty means that they are what most people want for their tattoos. But watch out: As well as being popular, they can also be the most dangerous!

  Let’s see if we can find a pattern here: Look carefully at the examples above. What are they communicating - concrete concepts or abstract ideas? Can you see the difficulty the translators had? The kanji for “dragon”, “samurai”, “love” or any other concrete ideas are pretty easy to discover. But go for anything with an idiomatic meaning and whoever is trying to help you translate it is going to get a major headache!

  Just an idea, but how about this suggestion: Rather than trying to force a round English peg into a square Japanese hole, why not find a real Japanese phrase that you like and get that instead? Bushidou (the Way of the Warrior) and Ninjutsu (The Art of Stealth) are two good examples of real Japanese terms that would make great tattoos.

  4. Your name in Japanese

  As I’m sure you remember from 2-minute Japanese boot camp, katakana are the characters usually used to write foreign words and names. So, if you want to get a tattoo of your name, technically these would be the characters you would choose. But I am guessing that, like most people, you want your name written in kanji.

  Do a quick search on Google and you can find a number of sites that specialize in translating names into kanji. Basically there are two different methods that these sites use, so let’s look at them here.

  Translating the meaning ? This method involves finding out the original meaning of the English name, and then researching the kanji equivalent.

  For example, my name has its origins in Greek and means “crowned one”. The one who is crowned is the king, so I could translate my name into the kanji for king and call myself ohsama. (Perhaps a little pretentious ? and disturbingly similar to Mr. Bin Laden’s first name!)

  Translating the sound ? This is a lot more difficult! Flick through a dictionary and you will find a bunch of kanji that can be combined to sound like your name. But sound isn’t everything: Remember that kanji have meaning as well. In fact, it is even more complex than this! Be sure to check each of the following factors with anyone who translates your name like using this method:

  * Sound ? Does it sound like your name or not? I have seen my name “translated” on certain websites to sound like Stefan. Shame my name (Stephen) is actually said the same as Steven!

  * On-yomi and kun-yomi ? Yes, more technical words! But don’t panic ? they are easy to understand: Basically, kanji have two kinds of reading. One kind, on-yomi, is their original Chinese sound. The other, kun-yomi, is their Japanese-only sound. What to watch is that (like oil and water) on-yomi and kun-yomi don’t mix. Use either all on-yomi reading or all kun-yomi readings to make the sound of your name.

  * Meaning ? Do the kanji have a good meaning together? Now, it can be very difficult to find kanji that sound right and have a good meaning, so you may need to compromise a little on one of these.

  * Masculine or feminine ? I guess this is more like a sub-category of meaning, but it is something you need to check out to avoid embarrassment. For example, while “Asian Beauty” may be a great combination for a woman, I get the feeling most men would not be too happy about having that permanently written into their skin!

  5. If in doubt, check!

  First, use your new-found knowledge of Japanese to ask a few difficult questions to your tattoo artist or kanji “specialist”. If you get the feeling they don’t know what they are talking about, you probably want to look elsewhere.

  Next, before you get anything permanent done, use an online dictionary to check whether the Japanese really means what you want it to. You may not be able to input Japanese yourself, but you can copy and paste characters from an email or web page and see what they mean.

  Finally, if you are lucky enough to know any, ask a Japanese person what they think. Their confused expression may tell you that you have come up with another “big daddy”!

  Follow this advice and you will avoid the most dangerous pitfalls of Japanese tattoos and get a kanji tattoo you can be proud of.
