tattooing nature
timeless
- an adjective meaning to be unaffected by the passage of time or changes in fashion.
As a tattooer, creating imagery that is considered timeless is of the utmost importance to me. Both in the execution of the tattoo and the subject matter used to illustrate the idea. I want my clients and the viewers of the work to always look fondly on what I've made. So, as far as subject matter goes, I feel like I'm most successful at creating timeless art when portraying images of nature. Flowers, leaves, trees... whatever. These images seem to have the ability to make the wearer feel more connected to the natural world and that's a beautiful thing! Yesterday, I got the opportunity to re-work an older tattoo of a couple flowers and expand it into a bouquet of wild flowers. Today, I'll get to tattoo some chrysanthemums... Not only will they carry those flowers with them for the rest of their lives, but they will always be in bloom and every glance will bring back that moment of springtime. The sun was shining, and the sky was blue.
Have a great day everyone!
