SD-253, you seem to have a fairly large chip there.
At 37 I had my first one done. It’s a one-off piece, unless someone else copies it from a photo of my arm no-one else will have one similar. I chose a tattooist whose work I liked and commissioned it. A bit like commissioning a painting, but it’s on my skin. We worked together for several weeks on my ideas and images I liked, which the artist interpreted. it’s great, I love it. It means something to me.
I like looking at great paintings, photo’s and Tattoo’s. Maybe I just appreciate good art. The popularity of Tattooing means there are a lots of bad Tattoos and bad Tattooists. But there are also a great number of fantastic artists who’s medium happens to be skin.
Look past the rubbish out there and try to appreciate what can be done with ink and a needle.
