10-gift-ideas-the-vandallist

Christmas is just around the corner so we thought we’d assemble a list of awesome items you can give to your favorite vandal or vandalista (or just buy for yourself.. you know, #treatyoself).

 

1. SorryMom Tattoo Kit

For your tattoo enthusiast friends, this kit contains everything they need from day 1 of getting the tattoo, to day 245 and beyond. The tattoo balm is ideal for the fresh tattoo, as it has a lot of emollient ingredients to keep it moisturized. The tattoo lotion is developed for long-term aftercare, keeping your older tattoos nice, smooth and vibrant. And lastly, the tattoo sunscreen – an SPF 30 that protects your tattoos from the suns’ harmful rays. (by now we should all know that SPF products are super important when it comes to taking care of your skin – tattooed or not). All of these products in an awesome SorryMom branded bag.

You can get it from the SorryMom web shop by clicking here.

 

2. A Print by an Awesome Tattoo Artist

You can find a lot of awesome art prints from various artists, but our favorite right now is from Noire Meduse – a small independent publishing house dedicated entirely to the tattoo culture. They have prints and books from artists like Léa Nahon, Yann Black, kÖfi, Xoïl and Piet du Congo.

You can browse their shop by clicking here.

 

3. Streetwear Item

We like the new collection from Krack – they have a cool story and they have small items so your girlfriend can wear them too.

You can see all of the items here.

 

4. Vinyl Record

CDs are still cool but we all know that vinyl records are cooler when it comes to gifts. Get yourself a record player if you don’t have one already and jam to your favorite album just like your parents did back in the day. We recommend Childish Gambino’s beautiful Awaken, My Love! for its funky sound and psychedelic vibes, order it here.

 

5. Portable Speaker

Portable speakers are much more useful than you think they are ! This JBL portable speaker by Harman Audio is one of our favorites. Not only does it look really cool but its unexpectedly loud too and the sound quality is amazing for such a small speaker. You can get it from here and while you’re at it check out the rest of their speakers if this one is too small/big for you!

 

6. BumBag

Bumbags aka fanny packs are back in style so you need to get yours ASAP. BumbagR has some great collabs with various illustrators so go check them out,pick the one you like and whenever you feel like going out with just your keys and wallet you can do it in style! Our favorite is the one shown above, designed by Romanian artist Kitra and you can get it here.

 

7. Your New Favorite Mug

Mugs are always a good idea and you can never have too many. Get your gangster mug from here.

 

8. Vandal Starter Pack

#cornershopbucuresti #totcetitrebuiecasafacigraffiti #grog #kobra #squeezer #marker #refill #caps #graffitilifestyle

A photo posted by Corner Shop Bucuresti (@cornershopbucuresti) on

Get some graffiti supplies for your friends or yourself. Whether you are a street artist or you prefer a canvas, spray paint and markers are a must, get some from Corner Shop.

 

9. Sneaker Care Products

A must for your favorite sneakerhead (even if you are your favorite sneakerhead). Take care of your kicks with proper products from SneakersER available here.

 

10. Artbook

It doesn’t matter if you’re an artist yourself or a cultural consumer – either way you will love James Jean. Check out his latest book Zugzwang here.

 

What are you getting this holiday?

best-of-2016-ink

2016.. Some would say it was a horrific year, some would say it was awesome… Anyway, it’s almost over, so let’s end it on a positive note!

A lot of good artists emerged this year, and of course, the ones we already know gained even more followers and attention. It’s hard to choose only 10, and this “top” is in no way intended as a ranking order, but as I, myself got 8 new tattoos this year, this are the artists that inspired me and that I followed very closely.

Warning! Lot’s of black ahead!
You can see last year’s top 10 below.

Best of 2015| Tattoo | The VandalList

The year is almost over and we decided to make a Top 10 tattoo artists of 2015 to remind ourselves and you about the awesome tattoo artists we had on the site this past year, regardless if they were up-and-comers or not. This top is not intended to be a ranking order in any way.

Botanical Tattoos

$

0

Botanical tattoos have been all the rage lately – and we’re all for it!
Nature has been a huge inspiration in all kinds of art since.. forever, and the cool part about botanical tattoos is that most likely your tattoo won’t look like anybody’s else. Why?

Artists like @rit.kit.tattoo and @pissaro_tattoo use actual flowers, leaves and herbs for the stencil, dipping them in stencil ink before placing them on the skin thus creating unique botanical prints that remain native and true to their original form.

Even if your artist does not use this method, the flora is so large and diverse, every flower even if in the same species doesn’t look the same.
They’re also a great idea for tattoos as flowers, plants, herbs, fruits and leaves all have organic forms, thus they will adapt very easily to the body’s natural curves and shapes.

Sick to be tattooing a silicone hand for @thinggallery Thanks for my participation 🙌🏾 #sashatattooing #Berlin #Tattoo #mood

A post shared by Sasha Masiuk | Tattoo Artist (@sashatattooing) on

People also assigned symbolic meaning to plants. Although these are no longer commonly understood by populations that are increasingly divorced from their old rural traditions, some survive. In addition, these meanings are alluded to in older pictures, songs and writings.

Ветвь оливы для гостьи из Москвы!😊🌿

A post shared by TATTOO ARTIST (@slavenavena) on

So, in conclusion, you can choose a botanical tattoo for many many reasons, including their symbolism, aesthetic, or maybe the smell of a certain flower reminds you of something.. either way, botanical tattoos are awesome. Would you get one? Do you already have one? Let us know!
Here are a few of our favorites:

этот папоротник мало того что очень красив, высок и размашист, так ещё и несёт за собой чудесную историю. вкратце – девочка посадила его на даче 13 лет назад и сейчас именного его мы навсегда отпечатали на ноге. как это круто, что татуировки могут быть символичны в такой степени – не абстрактно, а совершенно прямо : конкретное растение на конкретном человеке❤️ this tattoo was done with fern leaf that my customer planted 13 years ago and now we make "a forever stencil" with this specific leaf. it's the most wonderful way to make tattoos ❤️ #liveleaftattoo #fern #ferntattoo #botanical #botanicaltattoo #flowertattoo #tattooartist #tattrx #tattooersubmission #ritkit #ritkittattoo

Hand poked Tattoos

The so called “stick and poke” tattoo technique is having a moment (for a while now actually). What is it exactly?

 

BREATH #cursedloverhandpoke #breath #italy #milano

A post shared by HANDPOKE TATTOO (@__cursedlover__) on

This technique is a non electric method of tattooing, done by actually poking the skin with a needle. Hand poked tattoos have a long history, different cultures doing variations of this method. Some tribal cultures create tattoos by rubbing ink or ash on cuttings in the skin (similar to scarification today), some cultures create tattoos by hand tapping ink into the skin with sharp objects like animal bones, sticks, discs and the more modern – needles, and the traditional Japanese tattoos where the ink is inserted into the skin with needles of sharpened bamboo or steel.

 

 

So: hand poked tattoo – the artist pokes the skin with one needle creating a design, hand tapped tattoo – the artist has more than one needle and instrument that he tapes the skin with in order to create the tattoo.

 

 

And why is this technique having a moment? Like with everything, at some point or another people want to go back to the roots, leaving the mainstream and more complicated ways the modern times forces on us behind and focusing on the simple ancient forms. Going back to basics if you will.

 

😍#handpokedtattoo #handpoketattoo #stickandpoketattoo

A post shared by HAND POKE TATTOO ARTIST (@ann_pokes) on

If you’re considering getting a hand poked tattoo, just remember that they take considerably longer than the machine ones, but they hurt less as the hand held tool does much smaller damage to the skin.

Cutty Bage – Tattoo artist

Sketchy tattoos inspired by horror and mystery – this is how you’d describe the work of Cutty Bage. She works at Speakeasy Tattoo Co, in Boone NC.

 

In her portfolio you can find portraits of film actors, comic characters and writers like Edgar Allan Poe, Wednesday Adams, Albert Einstein and many others. Regardless of what she tattoos, her blackwork and grayscale work is amazing, even more so being that she’s fairly new to the tattooing game.

Follow her on Instagram to see more of her work.
