My Favorite Found Tattoo of the Day

This is one of my all time favorite tattoos that I have stumbled across!!! I love skeleton keys and I really like the layout and shape of the piece. I have starts sketching my own tattoo using some of the ideas from this one but there are definitely a lot of changes being made in the process!

A lot of times I draw my inspiration and ideas from other tattoos that I have seen. Many times I will google a word, for example I love anything nautical themed so I typed in anchor tattoos, from there I sometimes will find something that I like and try to make it into something of my own. I gather together things that have meaning to me and I sketch out my own original tattoo because I don't want anyone to have what I have and I don't want something that someone else already has!

The Body As a Canvas

The body is a canvas. A blank canvas. And for those who have a appreciation or addiction to tattoo's, your body goes from being a blank canvas to art. Choosing a tattoo design is something that needs to be well thought over, it's permanent and what is the point of getting something on your body that you will only regret later. Make it meaningful. Make connections. For every decision that you make in the process make it one that you will cherish forever. And if you can not make a concise decision, then maybe thinking about it more, discussing it more, drawing inspiration and truly thinking about if it is the right thing for you to do is always your best choice. There's no more whipping it off with a cloth or letting it wear off, it's there...it;s there forever so make it worth it, make it something that you love!
