As an Artist a lot of the ideas I have for possible future tattoos are based on actual works I Art, so therefore differ from what you (I guess me) would expect to see as a tattoo. I was wondering if anyone here has any tattoos that are based on works of Art… whether they be street art or old masters. Any images or thoughts would be great.
I have one based on a photo taken by an British photographer (Kimberly Joanne Sinclair) who takes just amazing self portraits. She does stunning work. (I got her permission to use the image for the tattoo.) I also have a hummingbird with some hibiscus that was inspired by a Lina Liu porcelain plate.
One artist I have gotten work from takes beatiful pictures of statues, often in old graveyards, during his travels around the world so he can use them as reference when a client wants something like that. He even did a reference book of some of them.
If you look, many people people have tattoos based on a work by painter who’s art they love. There are tons of Dali and Escher tattoos out there, as well as less well known artists.

I have a Sylvia ji tattoo 🙂 And I’m planning a Picasso one.. I’ve seen quite a lot of tattoos based on classical art, paintings etc, some chose to just do small pieces or elements from a painting, others want the entire thing. I saw a Mona Lisa one once! Haha, pretty cool.
Funny enough Sylvia Ji was on my list 🙂 I found some great b&g examples of her work. Il post some images of the kind of thing I’m looking to get.
