Inspiration: Surrealist photo collage a la Max Ernst:

thought: how much control should I take of a person's tattoo design? By drawing it I take artistic control- should I also take design control if there is something really bad/messy about their idea? Re: the man who wants seven different tattoos all crammed into one. A calla lily, automotive instruments, a crest and a straw boater (that's a hat). Done traditional style, but with chrome effect. Hmmph.
Watched a documentary on "Freak Folk":
Youtube it here:The ETERNAL CHILDREN
Why are my most aesthetically favorite youth subcultures the ones MOST DISSED by my boyfriends and social circle? I defend, but I am one little voice, usually unheard and dissmissed. Don't cry for me, I am USED TO IT.
A LIST:
Kai loves the aesthetics of:
1. Goth (the old standby)
2. Steampunk
3. Gypsy Mission hipsters
4. "freak Folk"
5. Circus punk
All I talk about is tattoo tattoo tattoo. All I think about is getting better FAST and stressing that I am not proceeding fast enough (but I am) and I'm almost thirty and I got a late start oh no.....
Ready to get your ass kicked by inspiring and masterful tattoo ?:
I want to get tattooed by
ADAM BARTON
Look at how amazing this skull is! The shadow is a solid lilac color! The turquoise in the eyes! Wow.Also a masterful color artist is the smoothest tattooer ever:
LU
He's in Berlin, so I'm not sure if that will ever happen. God he is SO GOOD. Look at his pics on his Myspace profile. Each one is jaw dropping. Look at this sparrow he did:
And to finish we have a picture of me and the Coug, proudly displaying our Baroness T-Shirts by the AMAZING artist John Dyer Baizley:
When I found his art is was one of those moments where I was almost sick- his art is so much the style of what I want to do...it's recognition and jealousy all wrapped in one.
A tattoo I started recently. I think it looks lovely already:

1. Those collages are indeed great,
2. I like the aesthetics of the subcultures you listed so your "boyfriends and social circle" can just bite me, and
3. I like the tattoos you do WAAAYYY better than the the ones you show here.
Okay, maybe they have technical prowess I cannot appreciate or understand, but I think that the final product? You know the design and stuff? Butt. That's all. Butt. If I saw someone with one of those tattoos I would think they were stupid for getting that heinous skull or that Madonna or whatever who looks like a drugged-out Lindsey Lohan or that bird that really just has Way Too Much Going On color-wise and is thus busy and cluttered looking in my opinion.
Then I see your designs and I think, "Jesus. I never want a tattoo, but if I ever wanted a tattoo I would want one of Kai's tattoos." So, yeah, work on your mad needle skillz or whatever, but I still like your style better than that Adam Barton's.
Anyway, that's my aesthetic contribution. Your stuff: Kay Nielsen. His stuff: Jeff Koons. And Jeff Koons has the ability not just to make me hate modern art, but to hate art. After I see his stuff, I hate art for at least a week.
