Hi all,
I have enjoyed reading these pages for a time, and have decided to register and inflict myself upon you.
Anyhow, I am passionate about art/tattoos, and am intrigued by the extreme poles of people’s opinions on the art form.
I have been tattooed by six different artists, across three countries and still have very little coverage (when wearing a t-shirt my appearance is that of a non-tattooed person). I am in the process of arranging to have a continuation of my current work on my right upper arm (leading to a full sleeve). I have been in touch with Amanda Ruby (amazing black and grey work),and really want a piece to show how beautiful and artistic tattoos can be. Something of an ‘armed’ mission to teach the world about living art 😉
Sorry to ramble on. There’s nobody home for me to talk to.
Nice to ‘meet’ you all.
Shuddering.
Hey,
Thanks for the rapid responses – no slouching on this forum.
Jubakuba, I’m planning a portrait of my niece, and a stone wall from Angkor Wat (Cambodia) carved with a Buddha image. These two will make up the main elements (portrait on inner forearm, buddha on outer), possibly with dove/leaf/rose detail.
I’m curious as to how the whole thing will flow together, bearing in mind it has to incorporate my current work (a mish mash of text, flowers, wings, a symbol and fine filagree type swirls.
My tiny brain has been straining itself to capacity over the composition.
Ms Ruby will save the day, no doubt.
Tatty bye for now.
