Expanding Fine Artists' Breadth of Work Into The Realm of Tattooing by Justine Almaraz and Alex Husmann

Why fine artists can benefit from learning the art of tattooing but not from traditional apprenticeship models, and what preparation and education can look like now.

Topics Include

What tattoo apprenticeships historically provided and what they didn’t 
The one medium most fine artists will never
try and why
The possibilities of how tattooing can transform your work into a legacy
The responsibility artists hold when crossing the threshold into tattooing
This session offers insight into evolving education models, artistic responsibility, and the expanding boundaries of contemporary fine art practice.
