Black-and-gray
Black-and-gray (also black-and-grey, black and grey/gray) is a style of tattooing that uses black tattoo ink mixed with distilled water to create various tones in the skin. This tattooing style originated from prisons in the 1970s and 1980s and was later popularized in tattoo parlors. Origin Black-and-gray is sometimes referred to as "jailhouse" or "joint style". It originated in prisons where inmates had limited access to materials: they resorted to using guitar strings for needles and cigarette ashes or pen ink to produce tattoos. Inmates constructed makeshift tattoo machines using small motors from tape players. Prisons prohibit inmates from tattooing, so these were done in secret. Jailhouse style developed in the Chicano and cholo culture in Los Angeles. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, this style became popularized in tattoo parlors outside of prison and was renamed "black and gray". Tattoo artists Ed Hardy, Jack Rudy, Charlie Cartwright, and Freddy Negrete contr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
