Introduction

If you’re looking for inspiration and badassery, the empowering world of female tattoo artists is a great place to start. Empowerment in Ink: Celebrating the Badass Female Tattoo Artists of the Bay Area is an excellent showcase of female artists who are owning their craft and making their mark (literally and figuratively) within the industry. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at this book, and provide a comprehensive comparison of its content and context.

The Book: Empowerment in Ink

Empowerment in Ink is written by Asia Black and includes portraits and interviews with diverse female tattoo artists from the Bay Area. The goal of the book is to shine light on these strong women’s accomplishments despite working in a male-dominated industry.

Content

The book’s chapters feature portraits of different talented artists like Kyra Valentine, Chanakya Sethi, and Keli Hendricks. Along with interviews about their tattooing experience and personal journeys, there are fascinating tidbits about each artist’s expertise, style, inspiration, and passion.

Photography

The photography style employed varies from studio headshots to location shots around the artists' lives outside of the studio. The headshots define the artist in some respect, whereas the location shots humanize the personalities portrayed within.

The Comparison

Context in the Industry

It's important to note that the book's focus is, primarily, limited to Bay area artists or those who’ve worked in the Bay Area at some point. However, there has really been a surge of female tattoo artists across the country in recent years, including those who might live outside of California. Things'll vary location-wise in terms of inspiration and work, and being limited solely to one region and trip can feel limiting – but some nice shading will occur that's true enough.

Diversity

The diversity represented throughout this book can't be overstated. Ranging from age, skill level, nationality, style, origin from another aspect, among other categories – there's well-represented diversity, beckoning you the plethora of art and character centered solely within the Bay area's ideology.

Employee-Ownership & Expression of Artistic Style

Stemming from that point is an apparent emphasis on employees owning their art and creativity rather than allowing their talents to become easily packaged under a client and curating their own independent style, which then allows them to create even more fantastic things.

Feminine Power

Gloriously uninterrupted in this book is Feminine power expressed across producing art without boundaries inspired only by one's thoughts and interpretation but not hemmed readily by homogeneity, masculinity or influence.

The Author

As Ava DuVernay always says when it comes to culture and entertainment, [laughs in comedic effect], it's a show THROUGH the eyes of one person. But seriously, nothing hits harder than describing a topic immersed by someone who not only knows the craft full-scale but can convey the tremendous diversity present in front of it all. While I would say this is not the definitive coverage and opinion as the photos are specifically commissioned towards the book, they nevertheless offer intelligent and aesthetically pleasing interpretations of contemporary tattoo trends overlaid with geographical context

Closing Thoughts

In all honesty, Empowerment in Ink true life examples and pictures of accomplished women Inksmiths encompass an extraordinary addition to the relatively gruff landscape of the modern-day tattoo profession. Aside from being relatable to ardent tattoo enthusiasts, this expertly designed book is an artistic portrayal characterized largely and triumphantly by feminist representation. It celebrates women expressing themselves creatively and living exceptionally as we all fiercely confront various challenges within the world.


In conclusion, Empowerment in Ink has brought to light the remarkable talent and strength of female tattoo artists in the Bay Area. We hope that this celebration inspires you to seek out and support more women in the tattoo industry.

Thank you for joining us on this journey and we look forward to bringing you more inspiring stories in the future.

Stay badass,
