Opening today at the Quai Branly Museum in Paris, the exhibition ‘Tatouers, Tatoués’ offers an extensive overview of the tattoo art from around the world, tracing the history of this usually stigmatised art form from the 18th century to the present-day. Whilst the exhibition provides a wider perspective on the subject, we, on the other hand at Yatzer, wanted to share, with you, a closer look at the process of tattoo-making through this short video by Paris-based tattoo artist GueT {Gaëtan Le Gargasson}, where a tattoo machine has been filmed in slow motion. While the needle of the tattoo machine moves too fast for the naked eye to see (producing its characteristic buzz), slowing the whole process down creates a really dramatic effect, exposing all the details of just how the ink is pushed into the skin to create the permanent tattoo patterns. So if you were wondering why getting a tattoo sometimes hurts so much, now you know.
