On a trip to Kaunas, Lithuania, my grandmother found a lovely woven image of their statue of liberty and it hung in her home for as long as I can remember. I'm fortunate enough to have it hanging in my room now, for it has always meant a great deal to me. Not only is it a beautiful work of art, but the fact that it was destroyed by the soviets and rebuilt in 1989 is an incredible show of the resilience of human spirit and unwavering longing for freedom. #megandreamtattoo #kaunas #liberty #freedom

Beautiful Buddha tattoo #buddha“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes”– Mahatma GandhiThank you Eddie for your trust and for the complete freedom with your first tattoo! Project was done few months back, as usual. “[...] I would like a tattoo inspired by my childhood and travels I have done. I have done a lot of adventurious travelling abroad including a lot of hiking up mountains in countries such as Peru and Nepal. Seeing and getting to immerse myself in other cultures has certainly broadened my view and brought me down to earth. My parents have sacrificed a lot to me in my childhood and brought me up in the manner where I should learn from my mistakes and they have given me all the freedom I could have had.

Lines and color ................... ........................... 👁 .............................“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.”5 days left of the contest. Upload your dream tattoo and tag it #megandreamtattoo, then you have the chance to win a trip to NYC and a tattoo by me Tattooing is always a story. 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 it
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💖The process that surrounds the tattoo is as important as the tattoo process itself. For me it is an entire process to connect and prepare both of ourselves for the tattoo, part of the experience.... Keep creating, keep growing.“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 #sinLoneliness 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”.Hope is not blind optimism. It's not ignoring the enormity of the task ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path. It's not sitting on the sidelines or shirking from a fight. Hope is that thing inside us that insists, despite all evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it, and to work for it, and to fight for it. Hope is the belief that destiny will not be written for us, but by us, by the men and women who are not content to settle for the world as it is, who have the courage to remake the world as it should be.-Barack Obama.Done @truecanvas.#tat #tats #tattoo #tattoos #ink #inked #details #fineline #art #realism #realistictattoo #miniature #smalltattoo #bird #albatross #albatros #freedom #hope #birdtattoo #tinytattoo #minitattoo #blackandgrey #tattoooftheday #tattooartist #instatattoo “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!
