Session 1: To
begin we explain why & for what reasons they designs were chosen.
Then we show how then stencils were made and how to apply them. After
the back is measured and marked, Gary applies the stencils and begins
tattooing the outlines of the Oni mask, the tiger and the waterfall
& the koi fish & warrior scenes. Every needle is explained
throughout this entire session and all sessions on this DVD. Every
color used and why. Every technique and how master that technique.
Session 2: In
session two we sketch on the background with a sharpie for you to get a
general idea of how to accomplish this feat with any back piece
tattoo. Gary then bloodlines and explains in detail every step of
creating the background and why.
Session 3: In
this session we show the techniques of shading used for the entire
background. We show and explain in detail how to create the same
stunning effects, several different ways. Creating a master back piece
with traditional shading and colors is a must to know!
Session 4: The
coloring begins! We start with the "Oni Mask", otherwise known as the
"Devil Mask" which originates from ancient traditional Japanese
mythology. Master shading and coloring techniques shown. These secrets
are revealed with precise and clear cinematography and explanations.
About the Oni Mask:
The Oni is the demon
of Japanese folklore. It takes on many other names, sometimes referred
to as a devil. Unlike most western cultures, the Oni is not necessarily
seen as an evil being. It is said to be of a dual nature, meaning it's
powers can be good or evil, depending on if it likes the subject it
attaches itself too. Oni are credited with with bringing good health,
safety, peace and avoiding disaster. A typical Oni mask has horns,
bulging eyes, a sinister looking smile and sharp teeth. Sometimes, it
is shown in a form that looks more like a skull. This represents a very
black and white image of transition. A representation that good is
leaning toward evil, or that evil is trying to become good. Often, Oni
masks will have hair. If one could break away from the traditional
impression that the demon is an instrument of evil, it would make the
Oni a more widely accepted good luck symbol.
Session 5: The
tiger & the waterfall scene. How to create a life like traditional
style tiger and moving waterfall! How to properly blend, shade and
apply the colors mentioned in the video. Illusion and skin tones
effects are your best friend in the segment. The tiger can represent
competition.
Session 6: In
session six we show & tell the techniques used for the "Midori
Koi" koi fish and warrior scene. We begin by throwing color into the
koi tail and show the techniques that will be used in and for that
piece. When all is said and done and the master back piece is finished.
Gary then goes back to explain how and why certain things were done in
this back piece tattoo and goes over a few things he would have like
to have done so that you may use those secrets and suggestions as well.
This is hands down the best advanced tattooing video in the
International School of Body Art's tattoo instructional series.
