Polarisation: 21st Century Professional Attitudes Towards Tattoos
There is no doubt that over the last couple of decades, attitudes towards tattoos have on the whole changed for the better. It is arguable that the perception held by the general public of those with ink as bikers, sailors and criminals has faded, and tattoos are increasingly being seen for what, in most cases, they really are; an individual’s expression of themselves, and an appreciation for legitimate art.

Interview: Will Gonzalez from Loose Screw Tattoo
Where did you grow up? Do you think this attributed to you becoming a tattoo artist or did this happen by other means?
I spent most of my time in New York, and its where I received my BA in Psychology, as well as my apprenticeship.
The main reason I became a tattoo artist was because I had always loved art. I was fascinated with creating something from nothing out of my imagination. I was intrigued with making something 2D, appear 3D. I was on my path to becoming a Clinical Psychologist, when I realized that I had to pursue my first love, which was art. -

Can you describe your current studio to us? How does it differ from your previous setups?
I am currently working out of American Crow Tattoo in Columbus, Ohio. American Crow is a boutique tattoo parlor of sorts with an old world gentlemen vibe. The moment you walk into the shop, you are greeted by countless antiquities and a pleasant scent of natural oils that are blended in house by Tiffany. The staff is dressed to nines, so to speak, on a daily basis. The shop is a quiet suburb of Columbus but has made a name for itself in just the year it has been open. The shop is completely different than any other shop I have worked for previously. The attire that we, as a whole, wear on a daily basis gives the studio an upscale feel that is unlike any other I have experienced. This most recent move, to this studio, was an exciting step on to a new avenue of tattoo studios I have yet to experience.
