PAINMAGAZINE 10 he 2017 Body Piercing Archive exhibit at the Association of Professional Piercers annual Conference & Exposition in Las Vegas will feature the life’s work of the photographer and videographer Charles Gatewood. With over 250,000 images spanning more than 50 years, almost all of you Tare aware of his prolific work, whether you realize it or not. Like most people, I was aware of his work long before I met him. It was in a bookstore in Long Beach, California in 1989, I first saw his photographs of Fakir Musafar’s O-kee-pa suspension and Jim Ward’s Sundance pull in Modern Primitives. Most are unaware that the book’s direction was largely influenced by Charles Gatewood’s contacts provided to V. Vale and Andrea Juno of ReSearch. Although I never personally identified as a “modern primitive,” the book formalized my desire for complete tattoo body coverage with coherent and graphic themes. This book’s influence cannot be overstated; it took fringe individuals and small communities and cohered them into a global movement with a far-reaching cultural impact. Despite the inseparable association with Modern Primitives, these powerful ritual images of Fakir and Jim Ward were not created for the book. These were documentation from an earlier important film collaboration. The film Dances Sacred and Profane (a.k.a. Bizarre Rituals) was released in 1985. Originally, the documentary was to be focused on Charles Gatewood. However, in the process of making Dances Sacred and Profane, the film became much more a documentation of and promotion for Fakir Musafar. The 2003 film Forbidden Photographs is much more representative of Gatewood’s work and story. Arguably, the photograph Charles took of Bob Dylan on tour in Sweden in 1966 was his most important. This photo showed Charles he could make money off of his photography. In fact, he continued to make many thousands of dollars in licensing from that single Dylan image over the next fifty years! The photo also opened doors. From this single image, Charles eventually became a staff photographer for Rolling Stone Magazine and made many contributions from 1972 through 1975. He photographed numerous celebrities including: Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Sly and the Family Stone, Carlos Santana, Alice Cooper, Liza Minnelli, Slade, Joan Baez, Stiv Bators and the Dead Boys, Al Green, Ella Fitzgerald, The Hermits, Helen Wheels, Quentin Crisp, Abbie Hoffman, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Jimmy Page, Robert Palmer, Brian Gysin, Nelson Rockefeller, etc. and he even landed a cover with Rod Stewart. Many of his photos reached iconic status, however, they usually did so without his name being associated with the image. continued on page 28 PAINMAGAZINE 12 uly 4th, 2000 was more than an average Independence Day for Chad Willingham. That was the day that, after workingJ at tattoo shops in California, he, and wife Rebecca, opened their own studio --- Aces- N-Eights Tattoo, in Lakewood, Washington, south of Seattle. “I went through the struggles my first few years working at other shops; it takes a long time to get decent at tattooing and build a clientele,” Chad says. “It doesn't happen overnight, and you put everything into it and hope it even- tually comes around.” Chad was joined by his friend Ross McWilliams, and for the first few years, it was just the two of them working 10-12 hours a day, seven days a week, while they put together a family of artists who formed just the right mix. “You see a lot of tattoo artists who are rock stars and like to party, and we didn't do that,” Chad says. “We were focused on having a tattoo shop that was all about artists that had been in the industry for a while, had families, and were focused on their work.” “If you have one person that's better than everyone else, and has a rockstar mentality, it doesn't work,” Chad adds. At Aces-N-Eights now are also Ali Petterson, Grover Collins, TIno “Fineline” Gomez, Jeronimo Rivera, and Todd Kowal. They’re a well-round ed group with specialties ranging from new school color, black and grey, and portraiture to American traditional. continued on page 20 PAINMAGAZINE 14 Ask Elayne Angel Povidone-Iodine Skin Prep for Piercing I did not get very good training in my apprenticeship and I am embar- rassed to even ask this question, but I don’t know who else to turn to. What do you recommend for cleaning the area before piercing? I have been using alcohol but heard that it may not be the best thing. Plus I know it is pretty uncomfortable on nose piercings. I have seen that some piercers use Iodine but I am kinda intimidated since I don’t know anything about it. I would really appreciate having your advice. Thank you for writing articles in Pain Magazine, because I always learn something new. I.
