This coming weekend is the Atlanta Tattoo Arts Festival, and the artists at All or Nothing Tattoo are looking to do some collaboration work. Details are vague, but apparently they’re looking to give someone a deal. If you’re interested, contact the shop.

Nate Siggard dropped us a line about his unbelievable foot tattoo collaboration featuring Guy Aitchison, Carson Hill, Ty Mc Ewen, and Dan Plumley.
Nate explains how this collaboration came about, and details the experience here. Nate also includes a couple casual snap shots of each artist taking “his turn.”

The All or Nothing Tattoo website was recently updated, including this collaboration piece that Dave Tedder and Brandon Bond have recently worked on. They note the piece isn’t completed, it’s actually going to be a full sleeve.
Also worth mentioning is that Dave and Brandon want to do more black and grey tattoos. If you’re interested, drop them an e-mail for additional information.
I think of collaboration piece as the ménage à trois of tattooing. Who approaches who? Do you talk it out with your tattoo artist first to find out who he or she is into? Which tattoo artist takes control? Who does what? Who goes first? What if someone wants to try something different?
In all seriousness, it does seem like a complicated process. I’d love to get a collaboration tattoo, but I honestly don’t know how to approach it. I have a feeling a number of collectors and tattoo artists feel the same as I do, and sometimes it’s just easier to just have one amazing artist do the piece. I’m sure when you have a number of artists working together in the same shop (such as All or Nothing,) the process can come together pretty easily. That seems like the story for the piece below.
