It's the story behind them that makes all the difference - even the ubiquitous chinese characters can be beautiful with the right story. Did you guys watch Miami Ink? I was addicted. Oh and you may have noticed that I love sketches, and handwritten typography, and fascinating, funny people. And I ADORE Wendy MacNaughton. So I am pretty sure my next blog obsession is going to be Pen & Ink, written and illustrated by Wendy and Isaac Fitzgerald. Thank you, thank you DesignWorkLife for bringing it to my attention! Take a look at the awesomeness:
AMAZING. I want more, I could look these forever. And Kate, I think you should submit.
wow this is fantastic! i'm itching for some ink too!
ReplyDeleteSo cool, my husband has a tattoo on his upper arm of a cross and it says PART II on the top of the cross and HOLD MY OWN underneath the cross. He was burned in a work accident when he was 21(mainly his upper legs) and got the tattoo right after the accident. Basically stands for him getting a second chance at life and he will conquer everything that is thrown at him.

Wow, now that is a great tattoo and story - he should submit to the site!! Thanks Danica.
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you get any!!
ReplyDeleteDude, thanks so much for showcasing this blog! I'm definitely going to check it out. Being a tattoo fan myself (four to date, with no plans to stop), I love the stories behind the ink, regardless of whether they're flighty or meaningful and any point in between. Love this.
