Talk about a serious throwback to how things used to be done! 📚🐟
In this clip, Chico takes us down memory lane to look at how Tattoo Artists had to create stencils back in the day. Before Pinterest, Google Images, or iPads even existed, if a client wanted a koi fish tattoo, you couldn’t just look it up on your phone. You actually had to walk to the local library, search through books to find the perfect image, print or photocopy it, and then manually draw and build your stencil from scratch! 🤯🖋️
It’s an amazing reminder of the research, dedication, and pure hustle that went into creating art before the digital age took over.
