Trad interview 3: Tim Orth tattooer

`cybergranny:iconcybergranny: reports, January 19, 2008
I'm doing several interviews of traditional artists about their process of work,: I hope this will help people who want to take up traditional media or people who want to evolve and find their own style.
The previous interviews are here

First of all, I want to thank ~TimOrth for taking the time to answer this interview
Here are some works of the artist



About the artist

Can you describe in few words your artistic life and what interested you in tattoing?
That is an interesting question. As far as my artistic life, spontaneous inspiration. More and more of it in my tattooing. I am a very firm believer that the tattoo presents itself as it is being created. Too much planning will make the tattoo plain and flat. Inspiring images, to me, are those that capture a split second in time. The more time you take to try and capture it the further you get from that feeling of the moment.

Tattooing interests me because it is tattooing. It is, or at least it was, an artform that most people would never experience. It is a commitment between the artist and the client to create something that will only last the duration of the client's life. So, as far as art is concerned, it is very impermanent. I like that aspect of it. I like the freedom of it. I like that it is relatively untainted with the exception of TV and print media. I am a firm disbeliever in censorship. Both censor tattoo images.

What influences you (artists or whatever)?
Trying to demonstrate to the people the lack of importance to most of the things that we do in life. People don't understand what is important in life anymore. They are too distracted by all of the bullshit that the media, government and religion throw at them that they miss the point in most respects. I am trying to show people, whether it is poking fun at the fact or just spelling it out to them, that they need to evaluate their priorities.

How would you describe your actual style and how long did it take to achieve it?
I have no idea.....I guess you could call it semi-realistic? I haven't achieved a style that I am content with yet. Chances are I never will.

What are your directions for future?
I want to start documenting some of the events that have taken place in our lifetime, including the corruption of our world leaders, our money system, the manipulation of mankind and offering suggestions of how to react to those situations.



Process of work

Can you explain how you work on your tattoos? (Do you propose many already drawn tattoos or do you draw them on demand)
I usually draw the tattoo out first. I really appreciate clients that give me the freedom to do the work that I am trying to get out rather than be a personal copy machine for the client. It is really boring to simply reproduce an image without thought. The term tattoo ARTIST needs to be given a little more credit sometimes. Tattooing has reached an unspeakable level of excellence in our lifetime. I wish more people would take advantage of that and start breaking the mold of getting the same old shit that has been done for years.


General questions about materials and techniques

Importance of the contact with the client?
It is different in every circumstance. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not.

How controllable are the materials?
I guess that would depend on your level of experience.

Security-sterilisation of tools?
Sterilization of tools is pretty much a given at this point in the game.

Any tips for the people who want to become tattooer or who want to evolve and find their own style?
Styles come and go as you evolve. If you want to become better, challenge yourself constantly. Instead of reproducing, simply try producing art. Make it your own. That doesn't mean look at an existing piece and figure out a way to change it. Come up with an original take on the subject.

Many thanks to everybody who made this interview possible =Cutteroz =IBinsanity =just-an-artist ~TimOrth

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark.
And a large group of professionals built the Titanic.

Cool interview. This industry need to be promoted to push tattoo as an accepted form of art and this kind of artist are the people that can make this reality...
