Tattoos. Art in the skin
Definitely I dare to affirm that "TATTOO IS ALL AN ART"; in fact it is one of the oldest arts of the human being. Many of our ancestors already practiced this artistic expression.
They say that the oldest human to whom tattoos have been found was Ötzi, a mummy found in the place that today is the Italian Alps, and that lived 5,300 years ago. About 60 lines crossed his back as well as his joints, showing that humanity would have already found in the skin the first canvas to express his art.
I particularly share the opinion that since it is an art, not everyone is apt to tattoo someone. There are professionals who have specialized in achieving an adequate technique; well we have clear that it is a great responsibility, since the canvas is a person and this is marked for life..
The reason for this post, is because this artistic expression has always caught my attention and lately the tendency of the tattoo in Watercolor. Every time I see one of these tattoos, they really impress me.
This seems to me a beautiful work, its simplicity, colors, even the type of letter I call my attention. The word "Family" I think for many means too much and I know that it is not necessary to have it tattooed on the skin to have our loved ones present, but it can become a way to honor them and maybe show them with that simple gesture how important they are for us. I congratulate the artist who did it, unknown to me, because the photo was taken from the internet.
Additionally I would like to share with you a classification made by Fernando Pino, an Editor and creative editor, blogger and musician with an interest in sciences, arts and deconstruction, about the best tattoo artists in the world.
