An ancient art form that we come across with a lot during our lives is merely the canvas as being one's skin; tattoos. Tattoos are a complex form of design, as it requires precise technique, and the ability to create and construct a unique piece. A tattoo is said to follow you for the rest of your life, meaning no regrets when it comes time for you to sit down in that chair. To have ink instilled in your skin forever follows the idea that the overall piece has to be something meaningful and of course looks good.
The struggles with tattoo artists are mainly creating the template for their patrons. I mean there are so many different designs out there one can create, so many different styles one can follow, and simply so many way one imagined their tattoo to look. A master tattoo isn't one who can give the patron exactly what he/she wants, but rather create a piece that's convincing enough to lead the patron towards that; "yes, ink me up." The designs in tattoos mainly portray each artist’s unique styles within their work, and it requires endless practice for them to master this art form. Every time that needle pierces a person skin, the ink is embedded deep into their skin, there’s no room for mistake so every line and every aspect of the design must be well thought and planned out.
The design that follows each person varies depending on what that person’s thoughts are. It can be from a complex design of a portrait of someone, to a mere saying or poem written across someone’s body. No matter what the design is tattoos are a sense of complex and thoughtful art form; originated from ancient times – tattoos are bound to last centuries to come as an art form and not merely just on people’s skin.
