Tattoos

Awesome work bukka, jealous.

I have such respect for those longer sessions, it does feel like a test of character after your bodys endorphines run out.

[yay]

hope this is the right spot to ask, can someone recommend an artist in germany? i'm heavily considering a specific woodcut that i would like tattooed, but i'm having problems finding a good artist

Valentin Hirsch.
If you are patient enough. And prepared to let him do his thing rather than just copy a woodcut.

I recommend Barbe Rousse as well. Think both work at AKA Berlin

[yay]

both seem great, thanks! actually all artists at aka berlin seem perfect for what i'm looking for

[mrbeuys]

Valentin has had his own studio for a bit over a year now.

looks good, but that smiley face in the center... cute, but something you want to have forever?

It's from Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, but never seen this iteration of his classic flower. btw I have his flower tattoo really small from years ago

[Enzo]

yes its not the common thing. i was really thinking about to change the face and things but in the end really: i like it. its the whole piece which i like and appreciate. the art might seem happy but in fact its reflecting the japanese culture in contrast to its social behaviour nowerdays. i was fascinated when i saw it back in 2008 in frankfurt moma. i like the controversity that even "happy" things can be deep.

@550BC: the classic one?

bw of course

No tattoo should ever be done in color.
