As our previous 85 Great Tattoos as Art and Inspiration post was a big hit and we received several comments about it from our readers, we decided to do a sequence of it! The difference is that for this one we pick some samples of the work from the artists and studios that the readers suggested at the last post.
Tattoos are now recognized as art, body painting, form of illustration and also as inspiration, it all depends on the point of view! Some years ago unfortunately they were pointed as marks or symbols of rebels, people with tattoos were even discriminated because of their "marked skin".
I'm not a huge tattoos fan, I don't even have one, but the quality of the drawings and artwork created by Shawn Barber has blown me away. His paintings have been exhibited in NYC, San Francisco, LA, Berlin and many more cities and cool venues. Also he has done some work for The Grammy Awards, Rolling Stone, MTV Networks and Converse.
