abstract body art

So a friend of mine just got a new tattoo, and I am now in love with her artist, Amanda Wachob of New York’s Dare Devil Tattoo. In addition to some really nice examples of more standard stuff, there’s a series in her portfolio that looks like brushstrokes permanently painted on the body.

God, isn’t that just SICK? I’ve always thought that the urge to get another tattoo decreases by inverse squares as time elapses since your last one; I haven’t particularly felt the itch to get another tattoo since I was like 19, but man, the compulsion is back. These are just so unlike any others I’ve seen.

You can apparently just give the lady a general area and say “Go to town!”, which is also kind of appealing in a kind of terrifying way.
