Great documentary and interviews of the late greats. Really made me realize how far back the art goes and the trouble these old guys went to trying to perfect their art and bring it to the world in their own right.

It needs to be on the front page. I found it on page 15 while browsing. I'm kind of upset because if I would have known I would have watched sooner. I love tattooing and the lifestyle around it. I would, at some point in my life, like to give it a try. This documentary is informative and inspiring. I have no negative things to say about it.

Have you ever seen prehistoric art? Have you ever seen any kind of masterpiece made by any prehistoric tribes? No all art starts out simple. How can you expect people that are part of the beginnings of an art form to be advanced at what they do? That is childish and ignorant. Asking why tattoos weren't as advanced back then is like asking why the first cars didn't look like Ferraris.

This loser is a troll and knows nothing about tattooing. This idiot talks this garbage to get attention.

So you're saying that just because it's not extremely technical that it's not art? Are you serious? You're missing the point of art, taste and style, big time here. Just like in music, technique is the means to an end - not the end. No offense but you sound like the people that are good at doing something, like playing a specific instrument, but can't write a good song for the life of theirs.

I think when your one of the original innovators your blazing the trail for others. They didn't have the resources that people today take for granted. If they needed a color they invented it, if they wanted to see others work they had to travel. It is to be expected that people can go further once the groundwork has been laid. I think people that are into the modern tattoo phenomenon should be interested in the history of it.
