ALTHOUGH there that looked identical tattoos with criminality, tattoo enthusiasts is increasing. For not a few who judge, tattoos are works of art. In Europe and other Western countries, tattoos commonly found in adolescents. Both boys and girls, tenderhearted and dressed macho. In Indonesia, see for example the boxer, not a few who bertatto. Sutadi Sanjaya (32), usually called Bedot, is a tattoo artist. He opened a practice in North Sosrowijayan numbers. Its customers more of the Caucasians. It is understandable, because Sosrowijayan is known as a 'tourist village' in Yogyakarta.
SINCE my primary hobby is drawing. Transmissivity to high school. Every extra draw, I definitely follow. This hobby does not stop even though I failed to enter the ISI. In fact I can actually earn money with the toxicity. For example, create images for T-shirts. Also painting on canvas. The result I sell in Malioboro. The paintings are surrealist and realist style. Also patterned decorative.
My house is in the middle of 'tourist village'. Parents use them to trade garment. When there is boom batik painting, I also make batik painting. So my house so gallery. After the crisis subsided drastically and tourists, especially saturated batik painting, I concentrate on painting on canvas.
MAKE tatto, originated from the request of friends. The first tattoo I create patterned surreal. Because many love, then I commercialized. To provide professional service, I then opened a studio in the next gallery. Customernya the foreigners. Perhaps, the tattoo studio is the only one in Yogya. If there is any friends practice for local residents, usually call or open a practice in Malioboro. The price depends on the size of the tattoo painting, motifs and color number. Payments are often made with dollars. Tatto fare smallest size, when dirupiahkan around Rp 50 thousand. Makin big, costs could be hundreds of thousands. Nothing ever reached USD 1.5 million. Most tourists, a gentleman in the transaction. After all, so there are naughty. Tatto ever digabur costs Rp 1.2 million. Whereas the right foot American tourist I was already filled tatto appropriate order. Let it be. I wish all of his left leg is not often tread mbelek lencung, neither stepped on a mine.
FIRST, a tool that I use locally originated. Consists of the motor-driven needle-tape. The way it works is less okay, but the result was not too bad. Because you want to work more professional, the tools that I replace the more advanced German-made. I bought through bule friends from Germany. Prices varied tool tattoo. According its type. One of the simplest units, approximately USD 1.5 million. I used to wear it, but now I replace the tool for about Ep 7 million. The price of the ink, a small bottle of Rp 300 thousand each color. When the appliance is complete, in addition to work so much better, the results are relatively satisfactory. Tooling maker skin tattoo that there is an injection of more than one. Instead there is eyed 8 needles. The more needles, staining results became more refined. Eye of the needle penetrates the epidermis as deep as approximately one (1) millimeter. Make tattoos clearly need the expertise. Otherwise, the customer can be in pain. Especially if the skin will be close to the bone tattoo. If one needle, color quality can be easily damaged.
EVERY time make tattoos, needles should be sterilized with a special tool first. When the needle is dirty, but can cause infection can also transmit the disease. No difference syringes often used the doctors. My hand must always wear gloves anyway. Painting can be drawn using a ballpoint first. Can also use the copy paper taped to the skin. His motives vary. Besides surrealistic, many were realistic. Such forms of flora or fauna. For flora typically floral. Being of animals, for example dolphins, tiger, dragon, cobra and so on. I have many examples of motives. Mostly I buy from Europe. Customer can choose as much. Although rarely there is a demand to draw women, but never a Caucasian man, hand painted ask many women face. He said, to remind the women who never dipacarinya.
CUSTOMER Caucasians come from a variety of races. Especially Caucasians Germany and the Scandinavian countries. The most preferred is the location of the tattoo on the shoulder, chest, arms, legs. There also are asking for tattoos on the face. Although paid whatever, I will not do. Anyway I abstinence menatto face. Point. I had never handle black tourists. If any, I would have been extra hard concentration. Where there is a 'black canvas' is painted. Caucasian skin anyway resemble white canvas. The color can be brilliant as well. Menatto woman's body in the most sensitive part too frequently. Although I am a normal man, suer, I never feel aroused. I always hold the principle of concentration should take precedence. I am aware, once faith swaying look smooth white chest, for example, the work could sag. Make tattoos to be completely finished yet. If there are errors, may not be removed. In fact, not a few'm tattooed Caucasian woman like that. For example next to wudel. In fact there is a request in the ass all.
MY concerned tattoos are considered part of the criminal world. What is the relation? Bertatto not any criminal bejibun amount. I regret one private television, every Menayang criminals, always focusing on tattonya. Go ahead. But this attitude is not fair to the artwork. For me, a tattoo is a work of art, it must be respected as the other. In the West, quite a lot of teenagers bertatto. In my opinion, more than half of European teenagers bertatto. I know because it has worked in Germany. But they are allowed, just over 18 years old. Under it, is prohibited. If it is violated, the parents could sue the manufacturer in question. Western society is more rational to address art tattoos. Every citizen who wants bertatto azasinya welcome because it is right. Although not a little because of the emotional impulse, but more rational. If they've got the desire, difficult to prevent. For example, there was the woman I ask to consider first. The answer, he had thought about for two years! Before working tatto, I was always so. For tattoo will stick throughout life. If one wanted to be removed, the cost is very expensive. Much more expensive than when made. Must wear laser beam all.
NOT easy to do tattoos. Especially if you happen to place nylempit. Then in addition there is a tattoo can be solved one day, many of them took days. Moreover, if the motive complicated. Oh yes, even once there is a girl Caucasians, because they can not withstand the pain, to draw it must come many times all.
This work for me is the talent. Then will I live as long as I was able. In addition to the appropriate hobby, tattoos are also a work of art that brings money.
