tattoo artist

Hi okay I am writing the blog again. Because you know why because I interviewed two people today (that I will left unnamed and the place unknown). But it was at a tattoo shop and it was always one of my goals to interview tattoo artist.

I saw the purpose of this project again. TO shut up and share the world’s story. What is it like to be a tattoo artist? I do not know, I am very curious to know more and maybe one day learn. BUt for right now they explained theirselves as artist.

Tattoo artist are modern day artist with the amount of people that express theirselves through tattoos globally. All these different people coming in with different ideas on what kind of art that they want on their body. Incredible.

The tattoo artist allowed me to step into the eyes of an artist in how they are able to visualize exactly what a person wants on their body. How they walk through the world with the lens of an artist , coming across design in anything. Even through just celebrating life by the fact that we are constantly living and experiencing the ever changing now. Life in the lens of an artist is seen with lots of color and lots of imagination.

Sometimes after seeing all different types of people coming with their own ideas of art they want on their body, they have to step back. Go back to nature or travel somewhere new to refocus and gain a new sense of creativity. After a long day of tattooing the artist admitted that they come home and enjoy being “couch potatoes.” Going immediately back home to create art can cause an art block and decrease their creativity they explained. Which I find so much beauty in the art of doing nothing for their well art… love it.

We talked about how if we had the power to change the world what would we do. These questions I ask people will remain the same but edited. throughout time. But honestly really they wanted the power to change people’s minds. That it is okay to be wrong that should be more accepted. And honestly that people can be more accepting in general.
