he problem with a lot of bad tattoos is a lack of context and nuance. This is conveyed well in good touchup jobs: https://t.co/ssWtG31lPi
A good tattoo isn't just ink on skin. It respects your musculature, your bone structure, your skin tone, and negative space. (As a start!) https://t.co/Ih0zZf8rXb
Ok so here's my vision: imagine a minimal, modular system of tattoos that spans the whole body but with 80-90% negative space. Like life. https://t.co/FyV7Mdxf01
Doing it all at once would be insane. You'd have to plan for it to be done in stages. And to appear complete at every step, iteratively https://t.co/gbKrAYORCw
I find myself thinking of Alexander McQueen. I think he appreciated this idea of negative space. Imagine if he was a tattoo artist https://t.co/DuUDI2AQGW
