#megandreamtattoo I found out I had a tumor on my thyroid while I was pregnant with my 2nd child. I decided that if it was benign after surgery that I would get a tattoo to commemorate it by Megan and I sketched it up! This was two years ago. Now, unfortunately I have 4 more tumors on the opposite side of my thyroid. I am currently going through biopsies to see if they are malignant (cancerous) or benign. Not a story of pity but more about overcoming. This tattoo represents the inner child. One that is innocent and sees only beauty before the harshness of life can take over. Returning to a place of pure happiness.

“I went on a 14 day silent retreat and it was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done.Towards the end of the two weeks I had what I think I can only describe as an out of body experience during the 4am session. I felt an overwhelming bubble of sadness and guilt literally rise within me but it wasn’t mine I was just experiencing it for someone else, I opened my eyes in floods of soundless tears that also felt not mine.I forgave my mum there and then, and it felt natural that I would stand by her no matter what, no more distancing myself, no more pushing her to get help, I would just be there unconditionally.When I left and came back home my mum told me she had something to tell me. She’d woken up really early in the morning (around 4am) and she said it was then clear what she had to do and why she had to do it.I believe I felt what my mum was feeling. I still don’t know what my mum actually felt that morning but it gave her the power and motivation to change her life.”Loneliness in the universeLoneliness is a feeling that has become one of the characteristic features of our generation Z. In theory, a person as a social being surrounded by other individuals should not experience this feeling. Is it the result of the appearance of social networks and online life for show, or the fact that we have much more information about the world and people that we want to get away from this? For me personally, this has become the main feeling of life and creativity. I didn’t draw, and I thought that I didn’t know how to do it, until I was at one moment at the bottom of the darkest, most drawn and dreary loneliness. Before that, I tried to close the disconnect with the world, communicating with people who were doing something of what I thought, I was never given and never will be. But if it happens that these very people are knocking the soil out from under your feet, then you, like Alice, are flying to the bottom of the same dreary rabbit hole. And that made me who I am now. The more you delve into knowledge, the less you want to communicate with most people and the more necessary it becomes to build your own world. One of my favorite artists, Victor Pivovarov, a representative of Moscow conceptualism, a landmark in unofficial Soviet and then Russian art, in 1975 produced a series of “Projects for a lonely person” that roughly describe a “perfectly lonely” person. I also decided to make a series of illustrations to the philosophical aspects of the consideration of this concept. Still, I'm also a kind of Moscow conceptualist. The second image I will attach the work of Pivovarov.Based on the generalized picture, we can distinguish four images of loneliness: cosmic, cultural, social, interpersonal.So N1:Cosmic loneliness is a person’s experience of his remoteness from the “all-encompassing” essence, which nature, cosmos, and the world can seem to be; God, the "highest mind" '; human history. This refers to the state of mind of a person who realizes that his “life program” remains unrealized, that his personality is not noticed by society, that he has not left “his mark on history”.It was a pleasure for me to be a part of this project, it reminds me one of the best period of my life. 2008 was a great year! if you guys obviously dont know, i was an “active member” of the scene. who wants to see some photos of that period? of me, of course! 😂🖤 . .A special thanks to my bro @blindmachines aka (matty murder ) for collaborate with me and lend me his pictures from the 2008💖“I have always had the sensation of having to choose which path in life I should take. I have been torn between the decision of excelling in this physical reality, and doing everything in my power to make my time here on Earth truly incredible. Or to dedicate my life to the exploration of the universe found within, however this would result in excluding myself off to the world around me. After trying the latter for a year I came to the realisation that I need to find a balance, I discovered that love is at the core of both paths but one cannot work without the other, there is a symbiosis at work. I need to find a way to do both…”– ElliotThank you Elliot for the beautiful thoughts, your trust and complete freedom with your idea!

Freehand on fingers. I love it.Did one of my designs on a guy with the same name as myself. I like the fun in that. “ - Everything you say is contradictory. You can't have been in one place and another at the same time. Of all those lives, which one is the right one?- Each of these lives is the right one! Every path is the right path. Everything could have been anything else and it would have just as much meaning.”– Mr. NobodyThank you Daniel for the trust and complete freedom with your idea! “The mindset of how I see myself has changed, from “being” to “becoming” as I know I’m not limited to whatever I am right now. I’d like to be reminded that I can always be a better version of myself if I keep working on it, while I’m in peace with my current state.” Project was done a few months back while I was visiting home in Hungary.

All of you dogowners do me a favor and tell them how awesome they are and give them a hug.While doing this tattoo I was reminded of how special the bond can be, and how short their lives are. Make the most out of it. I don't regret any minute I spent with my dog. There wasn't a second that I feel wasted.I even miss the late night walks where it rained and both of us didn't want to got out, but we had to. I miss being laughed at every time I come home. It left an emptiness when he was gone that was hard to fill. So enjoy the time you have together to the fullest. Make the most out of every day, appreciate it.Would love to do more of these small portraits.

For example, I forgot about this sketch for a long time, but @rozbeshchena_dytyna found it just at that moment when life had one interesting event that she told me about and now it’s smthng like medical secret. And how we made this tattoo, a story also came out, because a pipeline was broke in the studio and we were listened the sounds of a waterfall. And there was also a problem with robots from online banking, nearest terminal didn't work and it took a lot of time to find another and understood that problem is totally different. My whole life consists of super ridiculous and stupid situations about which I already realized that no matter how bad was during it, then another story will come out of itA skate deck I that I painted a while back No gods no mastersFirstly I can say that I absolutely give a f*ck about what you think about my tattoos. When I started to do them, I followed trends and popular aesthetics, added tribals, etc. I hate this part of tattooing when u have to communicate with a client like it's some kind of service industry. "I would like to tattoo a dick, but only pinkish and remove these hairs on the eggs, because it looks more like a cat." I just can’t learn how to say no, usually make some attempts to find a compromise, and then customer telling me goodbye because I'm not a professional. And I'm not a professional. I do this because from childhood I was fond of art, went to art history courses at the Pushkin state Museum in Moscow, then discovered a tattoo, went to tattooer firstly on 16th birthday after earnings money as a waitress, followed a lot of masters, many of whom made me tattoo at the beginning of their career, when I understood that in future they will become stars. And I always looked atBotanical sleeve, this project was started when I was a junior artist still learning and completed by machine when I was already working for a number of years! This project is still one of my favourites. By Tahsena Alam.
