Tattooing and Low Brow Art

in art •  7 years ago 

Tattooing is definitely one of the more modern forms of art there is. I don't remember where I heard this, or maybe it's just a generic thing that I read, but it was something that went along the lines of a painter (like myself) having a canvas and the tattoo artist having one as well - the skin - and while you can hang a painter's work in a house, the tattoo artist's work is always on display. Something to that effect. Is this a photo of one of your designs? I'm also an artist and you can find my work on my page at https://steemit.com/@mrblinddraw if you are interested. Have a good one!

Yes, this is in a sense true. Its more someone else's skin becomes a collaborative canvas. For me there is always an awareness that it is only my canvas for as long as I work on it, but it is their canvas for life.

And yes, the photo is of one of my works.
