So here is a documentary I found on YouTube about tattooing, titled Body Art: A Tattoo documentary directed and produced by Eddie Stevens. I was initially excited that I found an actual short doc on YouTube but the longer I watched the it, I will say, the more disappointed I was. I like the general idea of it, but I was expecting to see a documentary on Lou Schiberras, the guy who mentored the people from Miami Ink, and what I got was some old video of different tattoos with hard rock music attached. I liked how the video started, with the sound of the tattoo guns and some guys looking at flash on the wall, but after that there was hardly any focus on the actual tattoo artist. While the video was uploaded in 2007, it is pretty clear that it was made way before that, making the quality very mediocre. However, the content in the doc was very interesting in that it goes along with what I am trying to portray in my documentary: How much tattooing has changed (the style of tattoos, the type etc. etc.). Looking at the tattoos themselves in the doc was itneresting because you can see how much of a better quality they have now and how the entire world of tattooing has recently become more artistic, rather than as before.
