klauskosmas Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I'd like to start a chicano style tattoo threat. The style is a favorite of mine. It also translates well into traditional style tattooing. I'd like to know which tattooers are highly influenced by this style, as I'd like to get more work done. Some of my favorite chicano style tattooers are: Jack Rudy Freddy Corbin Eli Quinters Jason McAfee Tim Hendricks Daniel Albrigo Fernando Lions Chuco Moreno UZI Here are some of my tattoos. Based off of Teen Angels Magazines. By Eli Quinters. [/img] [/img] Kev, Duffa, Lochlan and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klauskosmas Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Tim Hendricks did these. The head tattoo is my favorite. Serious skin envy! Hahaha [/img] [/img] [/img] jayessebee, sboyer, Kev and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Shirley Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Charlie and Jack pretty much pioneered the style ,in a shop, that is. I worked for GTC for almost 10 yrs. I would have to say those tattoos are nice,but, done in a very traditional style. We used single needles for yrs, but I never touch em nowdays. much of the premades are plenty tight enough. you left out a lot of important cats, Freddy Negrete, Flame, Mike Brown,GTC, These are some of the founding fathers.

Shannon Shirley Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 theres gonna be a film and book coming out soon ,on this subject. Charlie calls them '' 2 crackers in Beantown'' but thats not the real title. the movie is about Chican Art with GTC,Jack Rudy,Negrete,Cheech Marin and Danny Trejo, Im told. the book is pretty much Charlies story and is supposed to be available thru Henk. abees and Petri Aspvik 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think chicano tattoos look better done in the traditional style. It really brings out the black and grey work. The amount of hair that is incorporated in chicano designs also looks better when it is done traditionally. Even Jack Rudy's tattoos have the bold traditional look.

One is an eagle with a bomb on each side the bombs were red,white,blue with a star. Another interesting piece was two bombs with skulls painted on them FTW surronded the bombs. I dont know protocol on such a situation where could find them on sale? as a non tattooer could I purchase them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avery Taylor Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Drew Flores of State of Grace just finished this facemelting Tlaloc: It is a great tattoo, and I am pretty sure that it is the best use of a belly-button in any tattoo I have ever seen.
