Inked Talk’s YouTube Review
The Internet is an amazing thing. Shopping, music, networking, games…it truly has everything to keep you entertained for hours while you should be working. It was no surprise to find quite a round-up of interesting, funny, and just plain bizarre tattoo-related videos on YouTube, the popular video sharing site. Here are some of the best of the best:
Yes, tattoos hurt.
This video features a young woman who just can’t manage the pain from her ankle tattoo. She’s being held by two people (one of which appears to be her mother), while she is chewing on what looks like a yellow plastic bit and screaming and crying wildly. You have to admire the patience of her tattoo artist who is totally taking it all in stride. In the future, perhaps she should stick to temporary tattoos.
Tattoos: A Dangerous Art
This excellent little mini-documentary exposes the dangers of home tattooing, as well as the relative simplicity of constructing a homemade tattoo gun. The video nicely contrasts the professional, clean environment of a good tattoo parlor with the workspace of a kitchen-table scratcher. Excellent subject matter. This is a well-made video and worth a watch.
Japanese Full Body Tattoo Video
This National Geographic video highlights some beautiful Japanese full-body tattoos. The video shows not only some of the incredible tattoos but it even briefly goes into technique and history. National Geographic has disabled video embedding for this piece, but you can follow this link to see this amazing piece.
This is just a small glimpse of some great tattooing videos on YouTube.
