Eden's career as a tattoo artist began when one of his skater friends bought the cheapest machine they could find from eBay. "He let me try it out and eventually, he became my first client. Then I offered free body art to everyone I knew," he told Inked Magazine.
The Israeli said that the tattoo culture in his country is very small, loving, and supportive. "My tattooer friends and I are trying our best to show everyone that tattoos are nothing less than an expression of art."
C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell…
Load More Replies..."I tried to find a way to express my classical painting knowledge within a size that could fit people who can't commit for a sleeve or big work," Eden explained what pushed him towards focusing on micro tattoos. "I try to design as minimalistically as possible. In design, I believe that less is more."
However, some people think these tiny tattoos won't heal well. "That's why it’s important for me to post my healed tattoos."
Now, Eden is part of Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy's prestigious crew. “Bang Bang” has left his mark on Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and Miley Cyrus. Many consider him to be the most famous tattoo artist in the world, or as some have said, tattoo artist to the most famous in the world.
I had no clue you could get gold tattoos. Is this for real a gold ink or is that part a transfer or something? Or just.... hugely expensive? Genuine question any answers much appreciated!!
So much detail in the home! The pipes & everything! Love all of these tattoos, would be honored to have one - I'd want a sleeve though.
This is amazing.. it looks like a picture was glued to this persons arm. Faces are such a hard thing to draw, let alone make it look just like a photograph..awesome work
Can i ask from what movie this is from, and should i see it?
It's from Lost in translation, 2003. It is one of my favourite films, so my opinion is that you should definitely see it.

I love the integration of three of his paintings, as well as a part of his life.
Brilliant the opening up Vincent's mind to his Starry Night masterpiece to the reference of the piece of ear he cut off for his unrequited love, this fella truly amazes me.
"why should YOU get to go first?" "Yeah, why should you?" "Because I'm a lady, that's why!"
Your not a Lady. Your nothing but a sister. Lol love that movie

Microtattoos will most likely look pretty crappy after a few years as the fine lines will blur together and most of the detail will be lost. I hope they know this.
Technically this is a tattoo of Daniel Radcliffe and Ralph Fiennes but the artistic talent is beyond incredible regardless.
Chihiro and Haku are epic!!! I LOVE this movie!!! Is incredibly insane and magical
Oh my god yes! This one girl was so scared when she saw this she hid under the table because quote “ they were going to eat her” it was hilarious 😂
Rule number one, you never talk about Fight Club

I would love a dr who tattoo by him , David Tennant, Rose and the Tardis
OMG yes! Love seeing a fellow Whovian (well, I'm a Whooligan but still XD)
Load More Replies...Inuyasha!!! I love this. Inuyasha looks great and I love the charry blossoms. My only problem with it is that they cut it off befor they did his ears . . .

WOW, the details in these are incredible. It’s so hard to believe these are tattoos, so much talent.
The skill and detail are incredible but I can't help thinking they won't last as they will blur over time. Shame!
You're very right and this is why most credible tattoo artists won't do such fine detail on a small scale.
