Scott Campbell Wants to Tattoo You.
The
installation includes a 50-foot-long painting by him, at the center of
which is a small hole, about four feet off the ground, with a chair in
front of it. Members of the public who so dare are invited to seat
themselves in the chair for up to 90 minutes, their bare arm through the
hole, while from the other side of the wall, Mr. Campbell tattoos on
them whatever rendering he sees fit, knowing nothing about the subjects —
even what they look like — and with zero input from them. (A limited
number of people will be selected each day via an in-person lottery;
there are two lottery drawings per day, at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m).
To
leave early is to leave with a half-tattoo: an actual, permanent one.
To remain is, well, to receive an original Scott Campbell free.
Perhaps
the exhibition is a comment on the permanence of art. Perhaps it’s a
comment on the shared madness of the general public. It’s for the
subjects to judge. Regardless, here’s what Mr. Campbell had to say about
the event.
What is the idea behind this project?
I’ve
had lots of people come to me and say, “Do what you want, I totally
trust you,” but as a tattoo artist, you never have absolute freedom in
what you create. Your canvas always has an opinion on what is going on
them, which is great because sometimes you get inspired by the person,
and the piece becomes a reaction to them. But it can also be a
hindrance, because with any medium, it’s always purer if you are unaware
of the audience. You can get lost in the work without worrying what
people will think.
How conspicuous will each tattoo be?
I’m
telling people, it’s about the size of the palm of your hand and it
will take about an hour. I’ll put them wherever there is room, if they
have existing tattoos, or wherever I think it needs to be if they don’t.
How will you decide what you’ll give to each person?
I
almost feel like there’s a bit of a palm-reading aspect to it. I don’t
really know the person, but I’m physically touching them, reacting to
them subliminally. I have a bunch of designs sketched out. Some of them
I’ll pull from books of mine, other ones I’ll make up on the spot. The
freedom is the most exciting thing to me, so I’m trying not to plan it
out too much. I’m doing this large painting that has a bunch of drawings
and sketches and things on it, so you’ll get a sense of the world that
it’s coming from, but no, it could be anything.
Do you feel a big burden of responsibility giving someone a surprise tattoo?
Of
course. I’m probably as nervous, maybe more nervous, than they will be,
because I never want to do a tattoo that someone regrets getting. But I
think there is a bit of magic there in the exchange, the
drawing-a-card-out-of-the-deck dynamic. Some people are asking, “How
conservative are you going to be?” If I put a rose on every girl’s arm
and a skull on every guy’s arm, it’s not going to be an interesting
project. It’s not a real leap of faith. To do this performance justice,
I’m kind of obligated to take liberties and push boundaries. The risk is
what makes it interesting.
What is your philosophy about what makes a good tattoo?
I
think a tattoo is a residue of an experience, and I think the
experience itself is more important than the aesthetic of the tattoo.
The great tattoos are always the ones that have great stories behind
them. There’s an element of ritual that I really try to be respectful
of, and at the end of the day, the people who participate in this
performance, you’re getting a really great story.
Your body is full of ink from neck to toe. How would you characterize your own tattoos?
I’m not very precious about my own body. If you see me on the beach, I look like the bathroom walls of
I get tattoos from people I love, in moments that feel significant.
Sometimes they’re beautiful tattoos, and sometimes they’re not. But I
have no problem having bad tattoos. It just takes away the luxury of
denial. Nobody can go back and redo anything in their life. My
experiences just happen to have left marks. I can’t pretend I wasn’t
that 16-year-old in 1992 that got that purple scarab on their arm.
There’s an honesty to spontaneous tattoos that I embrace.
‘Mom’ Tattoos, for Those Who Still Live With Her
‘Mom’ Tattoos, for Those Who Still Live With Her.
In
a storefront parlor on Bergen Street in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, a father
of two sat in a chair one recent Saturday afternoon, his shirt hiked
over his head to reveal an open expanse of shoulder to be tattooed.
His two children, well under 10 years old, were yelping away beside him. They weren’t there to watch. They had gone first.
Such
is the normal course of affairs at Tattly, the four-year-old
temporary-tattoo company, which has set up a pop-up shop for its
preprinted designs here until February.
Its
complete catalog runs to almost 700 designs, all licensed or
commissioned from artists or organizations like the Sesame Workshop (for
Sesame Street characters) or the M.T.A. (for subway-line logos).
Tattly
staff will “tattoo” customers using, in place of needles, its own set
of accouterments: squeeze bottles of water, sponges and (if necessary,
for removal) Scotch tape.
Here
in hip-young-family Brooklyn, a temporary-tattooist, where Baby can get
inked to match Mom and Dad, seems like a foregone conclusion. At
Tattly, not much needs to be off-limits: Tattoos take a minute to apply
and last, on average, two to four days. So in addition to individual
designs ($5 for a two-pack, $6 for metallic ink), the store sells a
“kid’s sleeve” package with a full arm’s worth: any five for $25. (The
adult’s version is $40 for eight.)
The
store’s clientele breaks down fairly evenly between adults and
children, said Hans Hendley, 34, the parlor manager, who was sporting a
Pisces temporary tattoo on his neck but has no real tattoos.
“I’ve never really wanted one, to be honest,” he said.
There
are Tattly (like moose or fish, the plural of Tattly is Tattly, Mr.
Hendley said) that lean toward more traditional designs, like anchors
and skulls and crossbones, but most are several notches more adorable
than much of real-needle fare. They include an otter wearing a bowler
hat, a carrot, trompe l’oeil friendship bracelets and a digital watch
whose face reads “PARTY.”
The No. 1 request that the store cannot currently fulfill, Mr. Hendley said, is for an avocado design. “Hands down,” he added. Photo
Celine
Le, 16, came to the store to browse for coffee-related tattoos and was
presented with two options: a quartet of cups and a cartoon coffee mug
inscribed with the legend “Oh, delicious coffee, how I love thee.”
“I
just really like coffee,” said Ms. Le, who has no tattoos. “I always
wanted one, but I don’t have the commitment.” She said she wanted a
Tattly just for fun.
“It better be just for fun,” said the young man who accompanied her.
Most
Tattly are plainly faux, but for those who want them — there was an
especial rush the day before Thanksgiving, as Brooklynites plotted to
shock their grandmothers at the festal table — there are vérité
versions, and the shop itself is a fairly convincing replica of its
real-needle brethren.
“At
least once a day, someone comes in thinking it’s a real tattoo shop,”
said Mr. Hendley, who has to break the news gently: “I’m happy to put
one on you, but it’s only going to last a few days.”
He
sends those seeking permanent alteration to Brooklyn Tattoo, a 15-year
veteran of the neighborhood, whose current shingle hangs just down Smith
Street from Tattly.
“It’s
funny,” said Adam Suerte, the co-owner of Brooklyn Tattoo, “because
we’ve had a couple of our faithful clients call us up and wonder who the
competition is, and say they’ll take care of them for us. We have to
tell them to ease up with the pitchforks. It looks fairly professional
from the outside. Their signage is actually nicer than ours, which
probably fools a lot of people.”
He and Brooklyn Tattoo take a more-the-merrier approach to their new neighbor.
“It
actually impresses upon the younger kids that tattoos are cool or O.K.,
and gets their minds starting,” Mr. Suerte said. “So maybe they’ll be
future clients.”
