Artist Profile: Andre Malcolm, Analog Tattoo

While at the Paradise Tattoo Gathering, I ran into my friend and tattooist Andre Malcolm. It had been a while since we last saw each other as Dre had moved from NY out to California with his family in 2010, and over the past year he's been busy working as part of the esteemed Analog Tattoo crew in San Jose.

Watching him tattoo at the show, I was reminded how dynamic, bold work can also embody an elegance and a cool. Strength comes from the subtleties as well as the more intense elements. Dre's got that balance and flow down. He's been tattooing for twelve years and knows what he's doing. I asked him for a quick and dirty Q&A and here's how it went down:   

How do you approach projects -- esp large scale work -- and create something that  is customized to the client?
There's a lot of studying of the body, so I sketch on the main subject matter then I take a tracing of the body.

What references do you generally look to?
I look at a lot of nature, rocks, water, trees, flowers if need be. Japanese prints and paintings. I watch a lot of anime.

What has been the greatest lesson you've learned in your years tattooing?
PATIENCE!

Any conventions/guest spots coming up?
Whenever I'm in NYC, I guest spot at Saved Tattoo. In 2013, I'm planning to guest at RedLetter1-- I've been telling Phil [Holt] that for the last few years so that's going to happen real soon. Also at Artwork Rebels, and Bolder Ink -- Joel Long's shop. And I've been promising Brad Fink [Iron Age, Fun City and Daredevil] too, so I'm trying to work that schedule out having a family and all.

What's the best way to make an appointment with you?
The best way to get in contact with me is to email me at andretattoos [at] gmail.com or call Analog tattoo 408-292-7766. It really isn't that hard to get in contact with me.
