gogo.tattoo@T-A-F Shanghai - 上海秋季国际纹身艺术展

Every tattoo exhibition makes artists' blood boiling
Every tattoo festival triggers the strong heart beat of tattoo lovers





继去年年底gogo.tattoo团队出席圣彼得堡的Tattoo Weenkend之后，今年，我们又参与了一场异常规模宏伟的国内纹身大会。

gogo.tattoo team attended the Saint-Petersburg Tattoo Weekend last year. Wow, that was exciting, but what's more to it? This year, we participated at another huge tattoo festival in Shanghai.





2017年9月22日— 9月24日，由中国纹身协会主办的上海秋季国际纹身艺术展拉开帷幕。
这次纹身展会大赛评委专家群星云集，开设多种奖项。是一场非常火爆的纹身技术交流展会。
早上8点30纹身师便入场布展，10点正式开展。

September 22 - September 24th, 2017. TAF, Shanghai International Tattoo Autumn Festival, which was organized by the Chinese tattoo society, kicked off a rainy autumn.
For the tattoo exhibition, a lot of famous tattoo artists came as judges and experts, and a variety of awards were made for the winners of the tattoo contests.
It's a very hot exciting tattoo/tattoo tech exchange/exhibition.

来自世界各地的著名纹身师亲临展会现场绘画纹身，观摩由展会策划的精彩演出、纹身师才艺表演以及作品大赛、纹身师现场作画等活动，5点30才结束。

Artists from all over the world came to the exhibition, to watch the wonderful performances planned by the exhibition, and to work on competitions. All the way until 5:30pm.

The Samurai Skull tattoo was made for the competition on the first day.


展览分为纹身器材展示区、体验区、展位区、舞台区等几大区域，进行展出，零售，纹身动态宣传。
如果说极限刺青展的宗旨是“力求还原最全面、神秘的刺青世界”，那上海秋季国际纹身艺术展的宗旨便是“让纹身接地气”。
展会里有多样国内外刺青展从未有过的惊喜看点，如展演、艺廊、纹身机体验等。
除了传统的刺青艺术家现场参赛部分，还特设纹身职业规范教材的摊位。体会真正浓郁而接地气的刺青氛围。

The exhibition is divided into tattoo equipment exhibition area, tattoo artists booth area, stage area and other major areas, ... retail and tattoo dynamic propaganda.
If the purpose of the Shanghai Tattoo Extreme is to present something like "to restore the most comprehensive, mysterious tattoo world", then the Shanghai Autumn International Tattoo Art Exhibition's purpose is "let tattoo down to earth.".
In the tattoo festival, a variety of things which has never been happened in foreign tattoo exhibition happened here, such as tattoo machine experience on fake skin, Chinese tea exhibition spot, etc..
In addition to tattoo artists booths, there were also a special boothes for tattoo professional education materials.

Of course, the onlookers are not only for Valentine. In this tattoo festival, a big number of major tattoo supplies, and well-known tattoo artists, use all their tricks to attract eyeballs.

这双手是用来干什么的？
是中国纹身产业的一个重要部分 — 纹身培训，所带来的副产品。
有许多年轻人放弃从事多年的行业，对比多家纹身培训学校，学习并加入专业纹身师的队伍。
有的纹身培训学校是知名纹身师成立，一
+对一教学，真人实操，培训期还可以纹身赚钱，毕业后甚至可以安排就业。
有的拥有舒适的学习环境，由不再做纹身但是经验丰富的专业纹身师教学，并涵盖各种附属纹绣行业的培训。
有的。。。太多太多了，现在的纹身学校都快要比纹身店还多了。
在这次的纹身展上，到处是令郎满目的纹身学校招生广告。

What are these hands for?
It's for the important part of China's tattoo industry - a by-product of tattoo training.
There are many young people who give up years of career, compare several tattoo training schools, then study and join professional tattoo artist team.
In this tattoo exhibition, the advitisment of tattoo schools can be seen everywhere.

的确，纹身师这个职业给我们带来了全新的生活，也许这是很多人最想要的生活工作方式。
这个世界上真的有人在过着你想过的生活，既可以朝九晚五，又能够浪迹天涯。
大部分可以这样生活的人，大概都是纹身师吧。
虽然幸苦，但是当艺术作品完成后，感觉就像为世界多亮起了一盏明灯。
Indeed, being a tattoo artist has brought us a whole new life, and perhaps this is the way some people want to live and work.
The way of choosing when to work and when to wander, or work while wandering.
Although being a tattoo artist is hard, but when the art works are completed, it feels like you light up a bright torche for the world.



[展会第三天 大家都累趴下了]
On the last day of tattoo exhibition, everyone was tired.


要成为纹身师实属不简单。
在展会上，我们看到了真真正正的纹身师的现场作画功底。

It's not easy to be a tattoo artist.
We saw the live performance of painting. Showing how good the painting skills of these tattoo artists are.





在展会上，到处可以看到纹身师的高强度脑力体力工作。
保持一个姿势一整天，拿着重重的机器，滋滋滋滋滋不停颤抖着，却要刺出流畅的线。

In the tattoo exhibition, you can see the tattoo artists working hard.
To maintain a posture throughout the day, with a heavy trembling machine.





成品会经过层层选拔，被各位资深纹身师评比投票。
这无论对于承载者，还是纹身师，都是一场有趣的考验。

The finished tattoos will be selected by the judges and voted by senior tattoo artists.
This is an interesting test for both the tattoo wearers and the tattoo artists.

最后，感谢中国纹身协会举办的纹身展会，让我们有机会参与和学习，无以为报，唯有献上对纹身的热爱。
用热爱制作最极客的纹身网站和手机平台。让更多有能力的艺术家脱颖而出，让纹身爱好者们拥有更好的纹身。

In the end, we need to appreaciate the tattoo exhibition organized by the Chinese tattoo society, for letting us get more opportunity to participate and study.
