Alex Binnie was born Alexander Michael Steven Binnie, on 11 July 1959, in Oxford, England. He is primarily known as a tattooist, and is also a printmaker; he has been a musician and performance artist. As a tattoo artist he is known for being one of a group of artists who originated and popularized the use of large-scale tribal design (non-western, often Polynesian, and also involving elements of fusion across regional boundaries and traditions) in the West.〔(London's Top Shops-Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow by Michael Lauken )〕 His work reached a wide public with the publication of ''1000 Tattoos'' by Henk Schiffmacher.〔Henk Schiffmacher, ''1000 Tattoos'', Taschen, 1996〕 ==Education and career== Alex Binnie graduated with a BA(hons) in Fine Art from South Glamorgan Faculty of Art and Design in 1982. He became a medical artist〔(Alex Binnie: Think Different by Jason Sweet )〕 in 1985, first an AV technician at Royal Postgraduate Medical School, then a medical illustrator at United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals. His first tattoo studio in London was an unlicensed studio called ''Mother Art''. It received some publicity from a newsletter published by Genesis P-Orridge and offered early clients as much tattooing as they could stand in one sitting for 10 pounds sterling.〔(Into You-the best of British Tattooing by Tim Coleman, September 2002 )〕 He moved to Los Angeles, California from 1991–1993, initially tattooing at the Gauntlet studio〔http://wiki.bmezine.com/index.php/Gauntlet〕 in West Hollywood managed by his then-wife Elayne Binnie (now Elayne Angel owner of ''Rings of Desire'' and author of ''The Piercing Bible'').〔http://www.piercingbible.com〕 Following this he worked at ''Body Electric'' on Melrose Ave, and then travelled to Seattle, working with Vyvyn Lazonga.〔http://www.tattooartistmagazine.com/issue12/alexbinnie.html〕 Binnie returned to London in 1993 and established ''Into You Tattoo'' in Clerkenwell. In 2005, he established ''Into You Brighton'' with Jason Mosseri. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alex Binnie (tattoo artist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
