This tattoo follows the artstyle of Ringerike Viking art. This is typically seen in runestones of the 11th Century onward; animals are exceedingly curved and thin with almond-shaped eyes and thinner, longer tendrils. This particular tattoo took eleven redraws, to ensure that the body overlayed and underlaid properly. At no point is the over-under-over pattern broken. The runes, by pairs and starting from the head, chronicle every state and country that I have been to, in order, since my birth; Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Maryland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, France, Belgium, Delaware, Virginia, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, and Indiana.Plenty of room has been left on the serpents body, as I've more places to go.Designed and drawn by me, tattooed by Jared at Standard Electric Tattooing in Lawrence, KS#vikingtattoo #viking #runestone #runestattoo #sunwheel

A tattoo I designed and drew for my wife, to capture her love of Celtic culture (the triskele), the moon (tri-moon symbol), and the ocean (mermaid tail). Tattooed by Jared at Standard Electric Tattooing in Lawrence, KS#mermaid #tri-moon #pagan #triskele #celticThis fine line and illustrative butterfly tattoo by Carolina Feodorov is the perfect blend of elegance and artistry.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”.Do we have free will?Are you sure that the decisions taken by you are so independent and so independent? How do you know that the future is not predetermined, and that there really were alternatives to the choice? Could we make any other choice at all, given the environmental conditions - the situation, the environment, people, genetics? Has your choice been made at the time of the big bang, and everything is just developing according to the set scenario, and the future is only one, and there are no alternative ones? What if we are just agents of the program that executes the code, and the blue and red pill is just an illusion of a choice that has already been made for us? #Anna #PomDeterminism #handpoketattoo #handpoke #stickandpoke #cyberpunk #cyber #surrealism #linework #dotwork #strange #weird #unique #philosophyExperience the beauty of ornamental art with this stunning pattern tattoo designed by the talented artist Claudia Vicente.

Yggdrasil, the World Tree of Norse cosmology. Tattoo designed and drawn by me, tattooed by Jared at Standard Electric Tattoo in Lawrence, KSMuspelsheim and Nifleheim are depicted as the Sun and Moon, respectively. The rays of the sun are represented by Maðr (ᛘ) for Muspelsheim, and the rays of the moon are Nauðr (ᚾ) for Nifleheim. The names of each of the remaining seven worlds follow suit. Six are represented by boughs of the tree; Óss (ᛅ) for Ásgarðr, Úr (ᚢ) for Vanaheimr, Sól (ᛋ) for Svartálfaheimr, Lögr (ᛚ) for Ljósálfaheimr, Hagal (ᚼ) for Helheimr, and Is (ᛁ) for Jötunheimr. The trunk of Yggdrasil is marked with another Maðr rune, though this time for Miðgarðr: our home.In the Crown of Yggdrasil rests the Great Eagle, nameless to all. Beneath the Tree, and between its roots, coils the Great Serpent Niðhöggr. The roots of the Tree extend down, to connect to the branches of a bindrune; primarily it is the bindrune for the Skaldic band Wardruna, a symbol that stands for the name itself, which means "Warden of the Runes." This symbol is viewed right-side-up when Yggdrasil is viewed upside-down, as Óðinn would have seen when he hung from the Tree to gain his runes. Beneath the Wardruna bindrune, and attached to it's stem, is a smaller bindrune of my initials, done in Elder Futhark to match the runes of the Wardruna.#norsemythology #NorseTattoos #yggdrasil #nineworlds #vikingtattoo #viking #heathen #nidhoggr The organic textures in the fluidity of the body refer to the sensation of naturalness and harmony that is experienced in the movement of our physical being. When we talk about fluidity in the body, we refer to the ability to perform smooth and coordinated movements, as if it were a dance. These organic textures are found in nature, like the flow of water, the movement of leaves in the wind, or the softness of sand on the beach. In the practice of various artistic and sports disciplines, such as yoga, dance, meditation or tai chi, the aim is to cultivate this fluidity in the body, allowing a deeper connection with oneself and with the environment. By integrating these organic textures into our movements, we achieve greater body awareness and a sense of harmony and well-being +info abelmirandatattoo@gmail.com or Whatsapp to +34 635808506Biomech/ bioorganic style tattoo designed and tattooed by Kevin Farrand. “Art is incredible and vast, it’s only limitations are of that of the imagination. My mind and art grows and expands, anything is possible and I am capable of helping transform your body. I would love to be commissioned for more visionary paintings and collaborations as well!” @KevinFarrandtattoos on Instagram“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.

Throw two planets into space, and they will fall one on the other. Place two enemies in the midst of a crowd, and they will inevitably meet; it is a fatality, a question of time; that is all.”– Jules VerneThank you Olivia for your trust and for the complete freedom with your idea! Project was done few months back, as usual. A bit about the project:“Altair is part of an asterism called the summer triangle (which joins Altair, Deneb and Vega) to help us see in the stars that it's summer. The summer constellation will resemble the significance that this summer and year has had on me since I have gone through quite significant struggles this year and the tattoo will mark me turning over a new leaf.” – OliviaThe other significant inspiration was the H4 Harrison clock: “Aided by some of London's finest workmen, John Harrison proceeded to design and make the world's first succes
