In the 1990s, often dubbed the tattoo renaissance, the tattooing world saw a burst of creativity and experimentation as artists pushed traditional boundaries. Aaron Bell's journey is one of embracing unconventional methods, such as mixing pigments like oil paints and creating intricate needle configurations, and drawing inspiration from graffiti and Lowbrow art to introduce themes like flaming eyeballs and bio-mechanical designs. With the Internet in its infancy, conventions and library research were crucial for gathering references. This period of experimentation laid the groundwork for modern tattooing. Flashback, a retrospective compiled by Aaron Bell, captures this transformative era with a collection of hand-drawn designs from 1995 to 2001, offering both nostalgia and valuable insights for today's tattoo enthusiasts.
