As a former art major, I find tattoo art pretty lame and somewhat cartoonish for the most part.
I have looked at a lot of it, trying to find redeeming qualities. I guess I am an art snob in that respect. I've only seen one or two gorgeous colored flower tattoos that were both realistic and subtle enough to appeal to me on a woman's lower back. And then I think to myself, "Boy, she had better stay REALLY thin ALL of her life or that nice flower is going to turn into a wandering vine.
Maybe I am such an art snob because I hate the idea, for myself, of being locked into ONE piece of really not very great art for the rest of my life, like my poor son.
He went nuts when he was sixteen, and now has a very disgusting demon with no face tattooed on his upper arm, a fading blue dagger on his ankle, and a Celtic arrow on his forearm. The bear paw on the back of his neck was obtained later...another unfortunate mistake.
I particularly dislike the tattoos that are SO crowded and done only in black or blue ink that they crawl all over a person's arms or legs...bad art that leaves no room for anything. It makes a person look...marred. Spoiled.
That being said, I LOVE the Maori tattoos on Dwayne the Rock Johnson's chest...simple and not crowded. Good design.
And I am intrigued by Tyrus's arm tattoos which appear to be Celtic in origin with lots of tiny writing inside the main design. I wish I could read the writing.
