Tattoos: Art on a Flesh Canvas


Tattoos have been an important part of many societies for thousands of years and have become a very popular from of art in modern times. The styles and images range from everything to portraits of loved ones, to verses of songs that have deep meaning. Every tattoo tells a story, whether the person to whom it belongs loves it, hates it, or even remembers it happening there is something behind how that particular work ended up on a particular body. What I love most about tattoos is that they can be an expression of yourself; you create the idea, you choose colors, placement, size, and detail and pay for someone to make it a reality. It is a very unique way to say something to those around you about who you are or what you opinion is on a certain matter, all while still being a beautiful work of art that was created by an amazing artist.
