They key in creating great body art is finding the right artist. Not every tattoo artist is the same. This is great, of course, as it means diversity in design and approach. Some artists like to focus on fantastical designs with an emphasis on angel tattoos or stuff out of a Lord of the Rings book. Others specialize in cartoons and can do everything from Mickey Mouse to hardcore Japanese Manga.
Many tattoo artists are fascinated with art itself, seeking to represent it in surreal, otherworldly ways. You may have seen a design that looks so captivating yet you barely understood what it was – that's the style of tattoo surrealism, another approach that can change your life.
