Tel Aviv-based artist Sophia Weisstub doesn't do tattoos, but she's surprisingly skilled at turning her body into an effective canvas. In fact, her work is directly inspired by human anatomy, and how our society has come to view it.
Though Weisstub is a skilled painter, photographer, and photo editor, she relies on a more simple medium to create her most popular pieces - doodling. By layering various sketches (ranging from animals to sensually-posed bodies) over snapshots of her lips, eyes, nose, and ears, she brings cheeky and risquée images to life, and shines new light on the close relationship shared between art and nature. "We are naturally, constantly and unconsciously inspired by our body," Weisstub told Sleek Magazine. "The body in my work transforms from my own to a universal representation. It becomes the body of everyone and anyone..."
The Israeli illustrator's work not only comments on human sexuality, but on how people have become disconnected from and even afraid of our own bodies. By portraying positive images of sex and intimacy, she combats the influence of objectification, slut-shaming, and porn-driven stereotypes. "Sex in itself is a positive thing, and one can only regret that our culture portrays it negatively," she further commented.
Get inspired by the inventive and fun artwork of Sophia Weisstub below, though look over your shoulder first to make sure no one is giggling at your screen.

Ok, I don't see a reference to sex in this one, though BPanda rubs "sex" theme in my eyes with the title and description :]
How in the world do you 'doodle' on your eyeball? She said she does use other mediums-- is this photoshopped or something else? And makes me think of the people that have had the whites of their eyes tattooed other colors---HITH can you stand it? I have 9 tattoos none of them were painless, some hurt worse than others, but your eye?!! And this looks like she just used a fine tipped Sharpie pen. Girl's got guts!!
Okay, now that I have seen some of the others, I suspect this was done on glass and just superimposed over her eye. Phew. But there really are people that get the white parts tattooed! I bet the use some of those numbing drops like they have at the eye doctor's office...
Load More Replies...Did it hurt the eye when she drew on it? I'm not grave enough to find out
This would be a cool tattoo. Probably very painful, but cool nonetheless.
Clever. Okay, I keep scrolling, down, down I go, and I have yet to fond on "NSFW" photo. Am missing it somehow?
Are you effing KIDDING ME? Mature content?! Hahaha! Free the uvula!!
Wow, if kids were to see this, surely they could be scarred for life! XD
The top of a woman's top lip, where it is curved is actually called 'cupids bow.' Very clever artist she is.
Sorry, but this doesn't speak to me at all, not to mention onyl a part of them conveys the topic introduced by BPanda. It really starts to annoy me, that the titles are becoming click-baits. As for art - it's not art for me.
Will she upload those nsfw doodles which she is talking about in the headline too?
Well, she posted spread legs, a bare butt, and even a picture of her own uncovered bits. I'll just say that's enough.
Load More Replies...I get that some people are more creative than others but these days too many people are being called artists for no solid reason..
Bored Panda some of your feature posts is not that interesting anymore compare to the last 2 years and I'm hoping for the better..
This person was able to make figures and see things based off of something as simple and plain as a nose. A NOSE for cryin' out loud! And almost everyone here is saying there's "no artistic talent" and "it's just plain boring." This artist (n. a person who expresses their imagination in any shape or form of their own creation) was able to look at themself in a unique perspective and create something different. Now I realize there aren't going to be people who appreciate this ability, but this is another show of how creative the human mind is. Give this artist a little more credit. Anyone with a creative mind like this fine example can be considered an artist.
I don't understand how this is *"changing the way we think about our bodies"*
It was interesting for me, as how this artist has different perception of seeing and transforming the complex body parts into soo simplified art !!!
This is honestly kinda stale, maybe I'm weird, but based on the other comments, I think a lot of people agree with me. I respect the artist for her dedication, but the "Mature" ones aren't particulairly NSFW even, I mean yeah d***s and s**t aren't great for kids, but they aren't very detailed, except for that one somewhat perverted vagina on 20. I'm just not very interested in this.
I click into this post, expecting things to be actually drawn ON the body. Not take pics & then use software to draw over them..
So, if I don't want to see somebody defecating, it means that "society is afraid of defecating". Ill minds.
Awww yall need to Shaddap. Your on bored panda, sure this doesn't make someone a frigging artist, but your on bored panda... On an article that includes the word doodle. Your not here for art. Your here cuz ya bored. Stop expecting crazy art, maybe go make some if your such an expert.
