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."
"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.
"why should YOU get to go first?" "Yeah, why should you?" "Because I'm a lady, that's why!"
I would love a dr who tattoo by him , David Tennant, Rose and the Tardis
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!
I can tell you've put a lot of effort into these, I can only imagine how much practice when into perfecting this craft.
These look pretty awesome, but I would imagine that they blur after a few years :(
You are a talented artist. Why not paint on canvas or draw on paper instead of scarring people for life?
They are all nice images, but I don't think any are real. There is no red scoring AT ALL, around any of these. Even if shot a week later, they seem Photoshopped. If I'm wrong... impressive. If I'm right, I'm right.
Looks really great. But I do wonder why not one of the people has redness around the tattoo? New tattoos are red. And I assume they're new because of the gloves in multiple pictures.
Everything about this article seems fake. The art looks photoshopped. Where is all the RED around a freshly inked tattoo?? The gloved hand so so oddly placed, colored and the SAME in many shots. I'm starting to find Bored Panda annoying because any faker can post their fake c**p. That's one of the problems with a user based site that has no verification system in place, like wikipedia.
