The Rising...

Tainted Angels....The Alternative Modeling Genre

In today’s society, indifference and rejection become fuel to most of us. The image of beauty in our so-called “mainstream” or public eye, to be more direct, causes many to undermine skin art (in addition to body alterations). This art has surfaced from the underground and started to make its voice heard. Since 2001 few agencies have had the courage to fight this discrimination. What we are about to establish here in the Central Florida Area is a new type of agency and movement in the fashion and music world.

 In our previous blog we talked about models with skin art or tattoos and body modification. This group will be a forefront of a tattoo movement -- it will be known as the “Tainted Angels.” The group will empower itself, venting forth anger and frustration, while artistically presenting a variety of shows to the world. They will show that the same capabilities and skills of the mainstream performers and or models without prejudice.

Tainted Angels will be the key point for many to express their love for the arts. Music and modeling are the foundation for the Tainted Angels. The vast array of music genres and diverse visual expressions of the members will be presented to clubs, television stations and many other venues for the single or group exposure of their work.

This type of movement has not been integrated to the mainstream fully. A small portion of it has been shown in television, tattoo conventions, and music festivals nationwide. Many agencies specializing in models with tattoos and body modifications are not established in the United States. Agencies like NY Body Art, Wicked Talent, Tattoo Models Wanted, HV Agency, and others are not exposed as they should be, due to their models that are considered tainted with skin art and body modifications.

In countries like England, Lithuania, Yugoslavia and other countries do not reject the body decoration or alteration as it is in our society here in the United States. Agencies like the Spirit Models and New Blood Models are just some of the main agencies that fully support models with tattoos and body alterations abroad. 

These agencies offer assistance to many venues here in the United States, because of the lack of modeling agencies with tattooed models.

In Vividly Visions Productions the “Tainted Angels” are not just an idea, but also a voice for the alternative lifestyle genre.

"Marked for Life Expo"

Once again, Tainted Angels is back with information on skin art and body alteration sub-culture with an upcoming tattoo convention in Orlando. The “Marked for Life Expo” a Female Tattoo Artist Exposition that has become a tradition in the Orlando area for the tattoo collector, artist and enthusiast. The “Marked for Life Expo” has run for 18 years bringing the amazing talent of female artist around the nation to the eyes of the artistic sub-culture. This year the expo will take place on January 17^th thru January 20^th at the Holiday Inn Orlando 12125 High Tech Avenue in Orlando Florida.

 

The “Marked for Life Expo” is the effort and creation of Deanna Lippens owner of Deanna Skin Arts Tattoo Shop in Christmas FL. Deanna Skin Arts is the only tattoo shop in the city of Christmas. Deanna celebrates 33 years in the tattoo industry as she started in 1980 by her passion for the skin art. Deanna’s shop address is 25026 East Colonial Drive Christmas, FL 32709 and their contact number is (407) 281-1228.

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.

Rise to the Masses

In today’s entertainment industry exposure is key. Showcasing your act, brand, sound, visuals, and specially your voice it is very critical. Having a platform where you can expose all of your talents and products it has become the focus for the industry. 

In 1987 someone came up with this concept in showcasing everything in entertainment under one roof, one place, one community. Austin, Texas was the birthplace for South by Southwest a multi-production festival. Now in their 27th Annual Festival, South by Southwest has evolved from a conference about entertainment to a world renounce entity.

South by Southwest also, known as SXSW brought all genres of music, films, media and technology together through their annual festival. In SXSW an artist, producer, designer, director, programmer and any other creative position in the entertainment industry can display their work and network through the worldwide community that attends the events. Over 2,000 musicians, producers, directors, marketers, fashion designers, and many other sides of the industry from all over the world collide here.

Having the chance to show your passion for photography, tattoos, music, video and the many trades for your career, this is the place. “The SXSW Trade Show is the heart of the converging industries experienced at SXSW. The four-day show celebrates the organizations that define the ever-evolving relationship between media, technology, creators and consumers” (About. SXSW.com).

For the Tainted Visions projected idea for our audience, this is one of the best platforms to step on. Putting a giant network of art and entertainment lovers together will spread the concept and love for the lifestyle that many have been living in “secret” or not to the fullest because of the so called mainstream society rejection. 

SXSW gives a stage to stand and yell to everyone that loves the alternative lifestyle that there are more of us out there. 

We are all creative, we are all artistic, we are all fanatics, and we are one. Joining this event and be part of Tainted Visions will give you a place to express your passion and talent with others. If you enjoy music, art, photography, design and any other part of the entertainment and tattooing, this is where you belong Tainted Visions.

Tainted Angels

A fresh scene for models and performers with skin art in Central Florida.

Today's skin art has grown to a magnificent level of acceptance in today’s society. Still in some areas of entertainment and business, skin art or tattoos continue to be a taboo or just not accepted. This has created a way to people to find ways to show, glorify or just enjoy the art and beauty of this ancient art. We can start with the world renown alternate adult entertainment group of the Suicide Girls. The group started in 2001 with the soft-core pin up photo style. Suicide Girls introduced a new style of modeling to society where any woman that feels gorgeous and beautiful that love the punk rock scene can be part of. These women have joined the Suicide Girls group in the thousands worldwide.

A few years after the Suicide Girls success on 2006, The Gods Girls were created. The GG expanded the admiration and love for the punk rock models covered in tattoos to a higher level of adult entertainment. The alternate pornographic site still promotes skin art on female models, but focuses more on carnal desire instead of the love of tattooing as a manifestation of beauty through art.

With these two sides of the same coin, I want to bring a scene to the Central Florida Area. This scene will be for those who love skin art on men and women, and dream to be part of the modeling industry, but are rejected because if their body art. This scene will be infused with the erotic styles of electronic music, hardcore metal and other seductive sounds and visuals that will escalate the senses of the show.

This will bring a new generation of artists and art lovers together in Central Florida. The performances and the execution of visual displays will bring controversy to the area as well. The passion and admiration for this art will not be stopped by the controversy of the public that do not understand the subculture. Inked Angels will be the new reality in Central Florida… Coming Soon!
