People seem to be confusing ego with opinion. With almost 40 years in the craft (Along with with being a living legend) I'm pretty sure that JACK FUCKING RUDY should have a say on the ''new age of tattooing''.Also shaky lines? I've never seen cleaner work done with a single needle, also Jack's style remains unique and nearly impossible to replicate to this day. Goes to show that most of these haters have probably never even held a real tattoo machine .
Great interview Jack! Man....you are so damn right on everything you said. I hope things hit rock bottom, and go back to more like things we're. Too much, of everything. Too many
What I like about this new tattoo age is that the art gets to come out in sociaty, The modern art has been taken over by a-holes that make a square on a wall and talk about saying it's art, and they pushed the real artists aside. So therefore we go to tattoing and gaming and loads of other mediums, but what is great about that, is that the rest of sociaty gets to see the art. I love this age of tattooing, even tho the competition is hard.
Love this guy he did my dad's cover up of my mom's name in da 70s then a few yrs later my dad put my mom's name back on him 5 more times and her lips and her portrait of her my dad did bring alot of his homies to get work for. jack Rudy in 80s
I don't know the "who's who" of tattooing, but I do appreciate the artist and their craft for sure. I have never meet this man, but growing up in LA/OC area I've heard of him (and I don't even have tattoos) I like him in this interview though, he reminds me of my uncle or something. And I think what can be mistaken for "ego" or whatever... seems to me to be just an old school guy doing his thing and speaking his mind.
Jack keeps complaining about tattooing being too mainstream but what he fails to realize is that if tattooing wasn't as mainstream as it is then he would not be making the money he is today and he would still be operating out of that small backstreet shop making peanuts
First of all, this is quite possibly the best single needle work ive seen documented(check out the timelapse video). Secondly, why is no one absolutely shitting on the fact that he is self taught and started without an apprenticeship? Because it doesnt matter that's why. This man deserves an ego. People out there who got poor excuses for apprenticeships bashing self teachers dont.
bluhhoundgucci for real man. There are quite a few amazing artists who were self taught and no apprenticeship. Look at Steve Butcher and Timmy B. Also Cory Miller got his start by tattooing out of his house. I think what it is, is that all the tattoo artists just don't want the competition so they bash anyone who is self taught and claim they can't make it anywhere in the industry without apprenticeship. They will make every excuse as to why its not safe to tattoo at home. Which somethings you do need to learn on the sanitizarion side of things. But its not that hard to learn this stuff. Its mostly pretty simple things. Like I said, its all just a bunch of shit And these guys don't want someone who is self taught doing better work than they can and for better prices.
I laugh! His line work is shaky, his attitude towards the new tattooing industry is silly. Why would you not want tattoos to be excepted? Don't you like to pay your bills? I am personally glad the old ways and old timers are going away! Enjoyed the video regardless!
Lines are suuuuuper crisp!!! The man, the myth, the legend!
You and Bob Tyrell are legends to get tatted by you guys are uniquely special and always will be
Hell yeah
