I don't usually wright much about other artist, mostly because I keep this blog as a journal for my own creative journey. But last night I stubbled across Amanda Wachobs' work and was really blow away. She's one of those modern creatives crossing the line between tattooing and painting. 

Plus Minus | Bloodline tattoo
Untitled | Tattooed and painted canvas

I don't have any tattoos myself and am not sure if I ever will. I do however spend time thinking about what I would get if I ever took the plunge. Botanical and painterly are the words that best sum up the image in my imagination.

Her tattoos go far beyond what I had dreamed up. I'm hopelessly smitten with her fluid brush stroke tattoos. She's based in Brooklyn New York and if I ever save the money to go back I hope very much she might be able to fit me in.
