Check out the image below and my choice of where the tattoo’s placement would look best.

I hope it’s ok to be partial to one of the biggest mysteries of our time in the world of pop art- that is what I call as the phenomenon that makes up Banksy! Probably the only time when I feel a cliché is alright, art this good has to be reproduced endlessly. Surrealism dotted with childlike manifestations is what sums up this art piece the best. Image Source.įeeling colourful? Then Chanteur (meaning a male singer) by the Spanish painter Joan Miro has to be the first choice for all you color lovers. Wondering where to get it done? This image should be clue enough! Make it intimate and personal is my advice. With all the mush in the air and the run down to Valentine’s day, this adaptation which is a section of The Kiss becomes one of my recommended choices. This is a timeless piece of art that continues to be my favourite valentine day choice each and every valentine’s day. If I considered it to be sane I would get all the tattoos mentioned in this article. This adaptation of the melting away time along with a crescent shaped moon is my choicest favorite. The beauty of art is that while drawing inspiration from your favourite piece of art you can customise it into a version that best pleases you. The persistence of memory by Salvador Dali Alternatively, you may also choose to get one that I feel is particularly a love worthy combination of dove and the face. The dove of peace in modern times becomes more and more relevant with its rising importance in today’s increasingly complex and violent world. It is one of my favourite examples of classic surrealism. The meaning is simple that it is an image of a pipe and not a pipe in real sense itself. The image in French states “This is not a pipe”. This piece of art is nothing short of image treachery. The deeper you think about this piece the more and more insane the meaning gets. The meaning behind this piece stayed with me. In all honesty I was introduced to this piece of art from a book I read an year ago. The treachery of images by Rene Magritte.Something that is going to be a permanent part of my body, if it may not be unique (like me) it should at least be rare (wink). That for one is the most essential aspect that I would personally look for in the tattoo. The kind that would speak up for you, and represent every little bit of the component of your soul, then look no further, maybe by the end of this post the inspiration will strike! The best part about the tattoo inspiration list curated here is that it is not run of the mill and is not something that is commonly spotted and has become a cliché – no feathers, hearts, butterflies, anchors, crosses, Chinese characters and never ever names or god forbid initials. The one that you would lay your eyes on and it would just be one word- Perfect. If you have been waiting for inspiration to strike you for that tattoo you have been wanting forever. Questions about originality and copyright have also emerged in the field of tattoo art just like contemporary art. That being said, I believe, as a counter to this predicament, conversely art can be tattooed and the debate on tattoo being a form of art can continue as long as we are alive or thereafter. Bringing forth the case to tattoos, they can’t be framed and put up in a museum, thereby making them lack commercialization aspect. “Look through art history, there’s always an art form that’s emerging that’s not as accepted.” says Lee Anne Hurt Chesterfeld who works as a curator at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
