#megandreamtattoo Im looking for something like this but not exact. I would love Megan to create something more original. I've been in recovery from drug and alcohol dependency for about two and half years now. Heroin being my drug of choice, I'm looking to tell a piece of my story threw a tattoo. Poppy flowers seem to be the most fitting. Some may call it morbid but I see it as symbol of something so beautiful coming from something that can be so deadly and evil. A choice i've made is to see the beauty in me and the evil is just part of my journey.

“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💖Oni skull in a chrysanthemums.

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.

Brian contacted me and gave me an idea and said do something. I domt do a whole lot of color, but when I do I truly love it.Hi. This is one of my own tattoo designs realised on skin. But I have something more for you 🚑🚑 Several days ago I've posted about cancellations and about how unbearable to exist in all this 💣💥 But I've survived..😎 6 hrs of work on the piece. My understanding of the word 'art' wasn't that easy going thing as maybe for you guys. I was drawing from my first primary school class lol and even last year it still wasn't an art like I see it today actually. And please Calm down I love all my tattoos/designs from the beginning. It was the best I could just in this time. ..I dunno something went wrong last year and now I noticed that I have to see things differently))) Have a lovely evening🧠🧠🧠 Thank you for that monday ink, beautiful tattoo, your tust and for the fine taste @miss_caitlin_alexandra 🤩🤩 Sponsored by @yayofamilia 🔥 Supported by @diamondtattoosupplies #tattoo #artist #uktattoo #uktattooartists #london #londontattoos #ink #inkedgirls #tattooedgirls #crimsontideink #tattooinlondon #igorsto #tooting #wandsworth #swlondon #тату #русскийлондон #татуировка #татули“I've always been fascinated by memory and dreams because they are both completely our own. No one else has the same memories. No one has the same dreams.The reason I talk to myself is that I'm the only one whose answers I accept.” ― Lois LowryThank you Alicia for your trust and for the complete freedom with your idea! “This [spruce] tree means a great deal to me. I grew up 50 meters away from this tree and therefore had the chance to see its majestic beauty evolve from season to season for more than 25 years. This tree can be seen from anywhere in a 10-mile radius and therefore brings me confidence and a sense of joy and peace as it reminds me of my days as a young and innocent girl who had ambitious dreams. It reminds me how far I have come to this day. It also reminds me of my Home, my Family, my Friends and my dear pets.” Done at the beautiful @southcitymarket-Finest black ink in London-Books open for LondonInquiries:peter.laeviv@gmail.com.....#tattoodo #sinA wise man once told me that the longest journey I will ever embark on is the journey from my head to my heart. And so as I'm not one to waste my time, I learned to listen to my gut instead. Consciousness starts in your gut, so be mindful about what you eat and keep processed irritants away from it. Your gut contains hundreds of millions of neurons, which are connected to your brain through nerves in your nervous system sending bidirectional signals. When you damage your gut-biome, you damage your inner wellbeing physically and emotionally. This also has little to nothing to do with the actual tattoo I just thought I'd carefully spoon-feed you the above. Thanks for reading! And thank you Elle for your continuous trust over the years. We've been building a sleeve for Elle based on her life experiences over the years. You can see an old healed work the other side of her arm if you swipe. A lot of the people I get to have the pleasure to work with are returning clientele wh“The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken down as a result of recent experience in the physical sciences, for this barrier does not exist.”― Erwin SchrodingerThank you Charley for your trust and for the complete freedom with your tattoo! I loved working on this one as its subject is very close to me. “There's something poetic about the basis of life being greater than the known universe. Similarly with wave-particle duality, I was always taught that electrons were subatomic particles so to discover that they're also waves opens up a whole new bunch of questions that I'm looking to answer. In short what I'm looking for the design to represent is the unanswered and unanswerable questions but also the comfort that comes from the unknown.”By @peterlaevivInquiries:peter.laeviv@gmail.com.....#tattoodo #singleneedle #londontattooartist #tattooart #blaNo 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 at
