Mo Naga demonstrates the exquisite Indian tribal art forms on a global platform
December 24, 2014; Guwahati:
After the successful promotion and revival of the indigenous tattoo art forms with the German tattoo artist, Heiko Gantenberg, at the Hornbill Festival, the duo is now back to Guwahati. Heiko, who has returned to Guwahati with Mo, will now be tattooing at Headhunters' Ink till Thursday, a rare opportunity for tattoo lovers of the city.
At the same time Mo is taking appointments for the New Year. The exchange of information on indigenous tattoo culture, which took place at the Hornbill Festival, will culminate at the International Tattoo Convention at Frankfurt, Germany in February 2015 where Mo Naga has been invited as a guest.
At the same time, Mo Naga has also started making preparations to welcome a fresh batch of four students at Headhunters’ Ink tattoo school. With the advent of the New Year, Mo Naga will start training his students not only from across India but from far away Finland as well.
The group of students include a 52-year-old art lover from Finland, a 19-year-old student from Shillong, who will be trained to enter Design college, a 19-year-old student from Manipur who will be trained to enter Art college and a 26-year-old from Rajasthan who is a fashion graduate from Pearl Academy and worked with renowned designers in Delhi.
Mo Naga is a highly acclaimed tattoo art researcher and promoter, not only in India but on an international level too. He is the first and the only Indian tattoo artist who has been chosen to be featured in the WORLD ATLAS OF TATTOOS which will be published in 2015 by Yale University Press USA. In the book, Headhunters' Ink is representing India placing Nagaland's art alongside the rich tattoo culture from different parts of the world.
Another book called the WORLD’S TATTOO FLASH BOOK to be published by a famous publication house in Germany will feature Mo Naga's Naga tribal art alongside the legends like Ed Hardy, Horiyoshi III, etc. This, once again, positions Nagaland's indigenous art and culture on the global scenario. Mo Naga has also collaborated with Dr. Lars Krutak, world famous tattoo anthropologist who has done programmes on Naga tattoo culture in Discovery Channel, for his tattoo research and revival programme.
