The Art of the Body
The Miami Ink sensation
Since the dawn of man it seems that we have a primal urge to paint the skin. Spawning from tribal rituals originally as a rite of passage, dermal pigmentation was also used as battle paint to strike fear into enemies and protect the wearer from evil.
The face Tattoo of fear
In the modern age the social taboos associated with flesh decoration have long since been removed. Still some may judge a person based on skin art but with each new generation it has become more popular in the west.
The Force is with Them
Underestimated and often ignored by “artistic elitists” the skill involved in placing these images is as creative as any canvas. Now I’m not talking about a “skull and Cross bones/ Mother type etching but instead intricate brandings that reflect a personal experience or inclination in life.
Pop Culture of the flesh
Tattoos can be like postcards to an age, there permanency cementing an interest ranging from pop culture to world history. Embracing global influences span all regions from Mesopotamia, Asia and the indigenous inhabitants of civilised lands, there really is no limit to what picture or symbol can be placed on the body.
That all over appeal
Position to has no boundaries, any part of the anatomy is ripe for decoration some opt for discreet others flamboyant. Hope you enjoy the selection of pictures.
