TAM Issue #10

September 1, 2007

Just a note to update everyone. TAM issue #10 is at the printer now. A couple weeks and we'll have the proofs back, barring any serious corrections we'll be at press by Sept. 1st, and have the issues in hand sometime in October; subscriber issues, that is. The rest will arrive by boat 6 weeks later.

TAM #10 features:
Horikitsune, aka Alex Reinke, the only non-Japanese apprentice of Horiyoshi III. Alex shares his unique history with us, plus some tips and tricks for Japanese traditional work, and some philosophy associated with "backgrounds" and their significance in the Japanese traditions.

Wido De Marval and his new shop, Water Studio. Wido spent years working for and learning from Filip Leu. His work is amazing and his story also is one of incredible fortune.

Scott Sylvia feature by Marcus Kuhn...what else need we say?!

Dan Trochio's interview is done by Kore Flatmo. Another great, hardly known, artist.

PLUS: A tribute to my friend Mike Malone's memorial service; a new Tattoo Tale for Mike Malone by Margeret Moser, Rollo's ex-wife; a peek into Oliver Peck's and Keith Underwood's tattooing adventure on the Vans Warped Tour; and some coverage of Shawn Barber's most recent show opening of oil tattooed portraits, written by the Grime. And, of course, whatever else we managed to fit in there.

Thanks for all the help and support, tattoo community! You're the best!

TAM at the Printers!

April 28, 2005

Well, we're finally at print. We've had a lot of delays with this issue and we're seriously behind schedule, but I think once you guys see it, you'll forgive us. This issue's features are Horiyoshi III and Horitomo (that's right!!), plus we also have Jerry Ware from Atlas Tattoo, Boris from Hungary, A step by step with Guy Aitchison, and a little article from Adam Barton ... plus lots of other cool tidbits including another great Tattoo Tale from Mike Malone and an intro to the Horiyoshi article by Don Ed Hardy! Plus we're officially 16 pages bigger now!

Thanks to everyone contributing to our official TAM flash sets- you guys are the tops! And thanks to all of you who have bought a set to help support our layout guys! Hopefully these sets will earn enough dough to get at least one of our guys on full-time at the magazine, and that means we'll start making some deadlines from here on out.
