TATTOO PARLOUR: Artists from the World of Tattoo
Melbourne has an amazing concentration of creative art houses and one of these is Outré Gallery located in the CBD…not only has the gallery provided art lovers with a store in Melbourne they also have locations in Sydney & Perth & have now raised the bar again by releasing a new book called ‘Tattoo Parlour: Artists from the World of Tattoo’
Tattoo Parlour is the latest book to be published under the banner of Outré Gallery Press. This is a book full of passionate artists, strong visions and amazingly diverse artworks – all springing from the rich milieu of tattoo culture. Step into the studios of a hand picked group of artists who also have a foot in the world of tattoo. From Amsterdam to Brighton. From New York to San Francisco to Mexico.
Tattoo Parlour is a showcase of artworks made by artisans who also make tattoos. These are tattoo artists in the broadest and best sense of the term. From skin to canvas to laser cut dollar bills these are artists who are at once immersed in tattoo culture but also their own creative practice.
Forget clichés and parodies of tattoo imagery – here we delve a little deeper and explore artists who are influenced by different dimensions of what it means to be tattooed, make a tattoo and understand the language of tattoo discourse.
This is not a book of flash – but of creative visions that touch on tattoo symbolism, technique, history, themes and community. Enter the Parlour and meet;
All photographed in their work spaces for an intimate glimpse at the details of their everyday life.
The book is going to be launched in Australia with a three city exhibition featuring artwork by artists in the book. Angelique Houtkamp will be out from the Netherlands to meet and greet at these events in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth.
All of these events are by RSVP – and kindly sponsored by Sailor Jerry Rum
