Amanda Wachob | Abstract Tattoo Art

The idea of getting myself inked has definitely crossed my mind in the past, but the thought always dimmed in my hesitation to commit to anything permanent on skin. I suppose it’s like creating a logo for yourself: it’s always difficult trying to find something that singularly encompasses your personality or your beliefs while remaining aesthetically fulfilling; at least, I always struggled with that.

Then, I stumbled onto Amanda Wachob’s beautiful tattoo art which blew my mind wide open to the possibility of having painterly styles incorporated into skin. Her fantastic use of gradient “washes” and her fine, delicate strokes seemingly blur the lines between tattoo art and fine art.

Someday, if I ever decide on an image to commit to, I’d definitely want it to be rendered like this. ♥
