Damon Conklin videos
Tuesday November 05, 2013
Pretty excited to have the one and only Damon Conklin this weekend and half of next week at Off the Map Tattoo in Easthampton! Damon is a real inspiration and anyone in New England should make sure they come out and get tattooed by him and/or pick up a piece of original art. Damon Conklin took a break from hosting the Seattle Tattoo Convention to beam into TattooNOW HQ! He talks about tattooing and painting, his seminar, and created many laughs, of course. In the full episode they cover the stress of running conventions for over a decade, traveling to South America and Germany, and much more.
If you enjoyed, here is the full episode:

Lastly, Adrian Dominic joined the conversation from Los Angeles. He chatted about his last art show in NYC, his biomechanical seminar, science fiction movies, the digital age and how it influences tattooing, and the laugh meter stayed pegged!
Damon will be teaching his seminar/webinar Monday November 11th.
Hear whats up strait from Damon - "I intend to convey the lessons and experience of doing 500 oil paintings in 5 years while tattooing full time. Talk about how my style refined and changed and even how it effected my tattoo technique. Additionally I want to address what I call intentional conditioning. By controlling our input we can control our output both our creative out put and our motivation level can be pushed and controlled this way. Dig that.... haha
Why a tattooer should paint.
How the 2 mediums will effect each other
