I assume most semi-serious tattoo collectors enjoy these time lapse videos, but I’m not 100% sure. Personally, I love them. I’m not a tattoo artist, but I appreciate the art and I think the approach each artist take is extremely interesting. I could watch these all day…

I love the work of Carlos Torres, especially when I can see over ten hours of tattooing in eighty seconds. Props to Joel Buenavista, who shot and edited this video as well.

When I’m having a conversation with family who doesn’t really understand my fascination with tattoos, I sometimes have to choose the subject of the piece carefully. For example, I would show my Grandma the tattoo as opposed to this. I’m willing to bet should would recognize William Frawley, and start telling me how great he was in Miracle on 34th Street.

Carlos Torres does some amazing work. If you’ve never seen Carlos tattoo, check this video out. Hell, you should watch this even if you have seen Carlos tattoo before. I don’t think it can ever get old.
