Tattoos as an art form


I know we previously had a presentation on this topic but I thought it was necessary for me to post about it considering my love for tattoos. Tattoo's are without a doubt an ART form. The only thing different from an orthodox style of art is the canvas, being skin. I also feel as if people do not respect them or like them because they have seen bad tattoos. I have seen plenty of bad ones but I look past that because I have also seen many beautiful ones like the one above. This tattoo is a Native American Chief with an immense amount of detail. The shading and line work is just perfect making it visually pleasing. I personally like black and grey but that doesn't mean the color tattoos aren't good.......because some are amazing.

  1. Keith, good work! although we don't agree on all that art is (or is not!) you've done a good job all semester in arguing your point of view. Well done.
