About Tattoocop - Aaron Springs
Today we want to introduce you to another bright representative of the New school direction of tattooing - the American artist Aaron Springs.
The story of how he got into the tattoo industry really can be inspiring for many. Throughout his path, he struggled with failures in schools, problems with personal discipline, periodically returned to tattooing among numerous works, studied business management and even graduated from the Police Academy.
Aaron Springs, known professionally as "Tattoocop," represents a unique blend of artistic talent and disciplined professionalism that sets him apart in the competitive world of tattoo artistry. His journey from struggling student to accomplished new school tattoo artist demonstrates the power of perseverance and dedication to craft. Working primarily in the vibrant new school style, Aaron has established himself as a prominent figure in Houston's thriving tattoo scene, where bold artistic expression and technical innovation continue to push the boundaries of modern tattooing.
The first Aaron's acquaintance with the tattoo occurred in 2003, when he tried to make a tattoo in his friends' studio in Pasadena, Texas. Later he bought a set of equipment for $100 and began occasionally tattooing his friends. He even worked at Friendswood and TattZoo tattoo studios for several months.
In 2005, Aaron entered the Police Academy of Alvin Community College and simultaneously studied at the Faculty of Business Management at the University of Houston-Clear Lake. Studying at the academy quite quickly corrected his discipline, and provided him with permanent work for a long time.
In 2011, after graduating from college, he decided to continue his artistic path and asked a friend to arrange him back to the studio of TattZoo. Aaron worked hard to make up for lost time and in the shortest time to learn more about the art of tattooing.
Now, years later, it's hard to believe that Aaron's tattoos have such a complicated and tortuous path. However, the result of this path really impresses!
Currently, Aaron works at Red Dagger, Houston, Texas, and his portfolio is filled every day with bright, juicy and incredibly stylish tattoos!
Style and Technique
Aaron Springs specializes in the new school tattoo style, characterized by bright, vibrant colors and bold, exaggerated proportions that push the boundaries of traditional tattooing. This contemporary approach to tattoo art emphasizes vivid color palettes, dynamic compositions, and often incorporates elements of cartoon-like illustration with a modern twist. New school tattooing represents an evolution from traditional American tattooing, embracing more freedom in color choice, shading techniques, and artistic interpretation.
The technical execution of Aaron's work demonstrates mastery of color saturation, smooth gradients, and precise line work that are essential to successful new school pieces. His approach combines traditional tattooing fundamentals with contemporary artistic sensibilities, creating pieces that are both visually striking and technically sound. The style requires extensive knowledge of color theory and advanced shading techniques to achieve the dimensional, almost three-dimensional quality that defines high-quality new school work.
