My Favorite Material To Work With Is Human Skin, So Here Are My 30 Best Tattoo Designs
I've been drawing since I was 11 years old, and there hasn't been a moment in my life when I didn't want to do it. I gave up so much for it. I believe that art is my fun, my culture, my lover, my ritual, my everything.
At different times in my life, I experimented with different kinds of art. I made handmade ancient Greek musical instruments, sculptures from clay and wood, played with watercolors, and did some pencil drawings. I worked with different materials and discovered that my favorite material to work with is human skin. I'm currently drawing a fairy tale book but I can't finish it yet because of the intensity of my tattoo work. Some of these tattoo designs have even been inked already.
While making body art, I realized that a person's skin is the most valuable material and that I want to make people happy when they look at my tattoo ideas on their bodies... I don't think there's anything more gratifying than carrying the fairytale design that one imagines on his body all his life.
As a tattoo artist, I love to tell the fairytale stories which happen in our dreams, intertwined with nature and animals. Unique tattoos depict the times when we were children giving people positive energy. I'm passionate about nature and animals because I believe that the more dependent we are on nature, the freer we are as individuals...

I’m personally not a fan of tattoos but I love this artist’s style. Beautiful. Something so different about them. Like they belong in books I used to read as a kid. They blend with the skin nicely. They aren’t bulky or overpowering. Really talented.

This one is gorgeous! I love her dress and the feeling of freedom I have while looking at her balloons!

These tattoos are beautiful but people don't realize thin line work like that and light colors fade extremely fast. Within a year most of that tattoo will be gone.

can someone explain this one? Looks like the larger elephant is actually someone's hand. What does it symbolize?
Sue Clifford 6 years ago
The idea of the hand turning into the head of the mama elephant is compelling .

When my mom and her best friend were in Hawaii, they got matching tattoos of the sun. Our family lives across the country from them and because we don't see them often, they like to remember what S.E Hinton said in her book, The Outsiders. She mentioned something about always seeing the same sunset, even though they're far apart. I guess it's always stuck with then.

I lovelovelove S.E. Hinton and all her books, they are just so wonderful and beautifully written

I love how you can't tell whether she's giving it to the tree or taking it from the tree. Amazing concept.

I see her accepting the tree's last and perhaps greatest gift. Beautiful.

I wonder how those tattooes will be in 10 years or later, since usually ink expands. But you can create stunning drawings, I'd buy a book with your work!
Dirk Aarden 6 years ago
I was wondering the same. A good Tattoo isn't one that looks beautiful on IG when freshly healed, it's one that looks like new when 5 years old.

These are so lovely and delicate. Some of the artist's style reminds me of Joan Walsh Anglund, an illustrator frim the 1960s. I hope to see more.

they are pretty now, but will be a blurry mess in a couple of years :( outlines get thicker over the years.
