“…Making the arts accessible national and international”

The Tainted Angels and Vividly Visions it’s been blessed today as we have joined the efforts and vision of EclécticO International Inc. a non-profit organization based in Puerto Rico. Their vision and hard work is driven towards the education and passion for kids and adults with disabilities. 

From their start they encounter many obstacles and prejudice towards them and the ones they hold hands with in this society that looks down or misunderstood the ones with a “disability” or learning disabilities.  

Equal to the mantra of Vividly Visions and the Tainted Angels, Ecléctico International believes in the same principals as we do: no prejudice, love, compassion, understanding and education of the arts to the ones that don’t believe in equality and are ignorant about the lives of others not equal to theirs.

Ecléctico International has been a groundbreaking group, as we do not see them as an organization, but a unification of believers. Breaking the barriers of limitations for the hard of hearing, blind and other physical and mental disabilities, Ecléctico International is making everything possible to have what we take for granted and overlook what they have in their every day lives accessible for this kids and adults.

Here is Tony Torres, one of the members a creative and motivational force behind Ecléctico International. He is a person that loves the arts and entertainment industry as well as the beautiful art of tattooing. Tony is one of the members that have encounter obstacles in his life do to his Spinal Bifida condition. Tony has never given up as he sees the world as a pool of opportunities and wisdom as he becomes part of many kid’s lives that feel misunderstood and isolated because of their conditions.

Implementing translators for sign language, audio representation and many other accessibility tools for the ones with obstacles in physical and mental development. With over 1 million people with disabilities in the Island of Puerto Rico, Ecléctico International is moving forward to a place where everyone can enjoy the company and development of each other in the arts and entertainment.

The Negotiation Mentality

In this post, we present Tony Torres; one of the creative minds and disabilities rights activists from eclécticO Int. Inc., a non-profit organization based in Puerto Rico. Tony introduces his method and mentality when it comes to negotiating any of his proposals and contracts. Throughout his life, Tony has been bombarded with obstacles from his disability “Spinal Bifida” and other physical complications.

Been part of eclécticO Int. Inc., Tony shares some duties with the rest of the members of the organization. Some of his duties include teaching, creating, administrating, coordinating and presentation of negotiations. Great part of the organization’s schedules, classes, shows and contracts are also included in his responsibilities. Tony reveals the secret of his mindset before and during the negotiation process from how he separates the people from the problems, the mutual benefits for both parties thanks to his usage of objective criterion and critical leverage.

When Tony prepares for a negotiation, he immediately separates the people from the problem in question as he does everyday when dealing with his daily routines. Tony visualizes the reward for his efforts and over looks his disability. Thanks to this mentality, Tony can see past the people and concentrate completely on the subject in negotiation.

 Being disabled throughout his life, Tony has the capability to automatically visualize mutual benefits for both parties in the negotiation, giving them a great view of increasing revenue, publicity, and a higher admiration from society. All of these are given, if they agree with the negotiation proposals and accessibility planning for disabled people in their venues and or schools.

During Tony’s journey in the negotiation period, he sees all the possibilities of his opponents’ choices and his objective criterion as well. He has the capability to read the opponents’ mentality and judgmental view instantly as they look at his disability and not his knowledge and capabilities to manage a higher level negotiation. Tony can automatically pull his objective criterion, as they never suspect of his knowledge of disability and discrimination laws. He uses these as objectives and leverage as part of his tactic for a successful negotiation.

TaintedAngels will be present on this 18^th edition of “Marked for Life” exposition. I will be cruising, talking, filming and immortalizing the art and people from this amazing exposition of talent and passion for the skin arts and present it to you. 

We will begin a tradition and journey of the exposure of the sub-culture as we present the ones that love the skin arts as equals. It does not matter what religion, believes, race, culture or background we are, one thing unites us without prejudice or rejection… “ART”.

The Tainted Angels believes in no rejection or prejudice for those who live and love the art and free expression. We will stand strong against ignorance and misconception for the meaning and looks of the one that loves the art. We will move forward to a bigger and better place where our looks and choices for the decoration of our bodies will not be seen as a lower level of humanity and personality.

Only the open mind and heart can stop the hate and prejudice of the unknown and misunderstood.

Join us in this journey for the education and acceptance of all without limits, without prejudice, only acceptance that we are all brothers and sisters no matter what we believe in or where cultured as we were raised in a world of blindness and hatred.
