If you visit the website on a regular basis, there’s a good chance you’ve seen the work of Kurt Fagerland. I met Kurt years ago when he first moved to Atlanta, and I’ve always been a fan of his work. I recently had the opportunity to sit down and talk to Kurt about what he’s been up to, his tattoo work, his VW and some unusual projects he’s working on.
It was Kid Kros‘ color work that caught my eye, at least initially. After learning how strongly his background in graffiti ties into his love for lettering, it’s safe to say I will probably always keep tabs on this Croatian tattooer. It’s amazing how many artists I would never be exposed to without the internet.
Of course, Kid was a bit of an internet phantom when I first came across his work–a man without an active internet presence can be rather tough to get in touch with. Thankfully, he’s since gotten onto Facebook and was kind enough to grant us with an interview.
Traditional Chinese and Japanese tattooing intimidate me; the sheer amount of historical knowledge required to even play at being more than a casual admirer is a lot to process in a single sitting.
When the opportunity arose to interview Joey Pang, one of the most well-versed artists tackling Chinese calligraphy as it translates in tattooing, I knew I had to seize the chance to risk looking stupid in the hopes she could enlighten me on such a broad topic. Read on to learn more about her approach to translating traditional calligraphy to skin, her continuing schooling in the subject–as well as a nice breakdown on a variety of–and you’ll have to excuse the use of such a non-PC term–’Asian styles’.
