Tattoo Soup

Tattoo Soup is a book I have, claiming to showcase "some of the world's finest tattoos". I don't know if I agree with this for the whole book, however there are a few unusual and particularly well done ones. I thought this relevant to include at this point as part of my individual comm tech brief as not only do I play around with tattoo art in my own time, but I also use tattoo design as a major part of my illustration. This tattoo is of two dressed skeletons, male and female, and have no doubt originated from the theme that follows the Day of the Dead: to mock, and celebrate the idea of death.

I think these are an example of how Mexican tradition is crossing over and is now very prominent in the contemporary art world, especially in tattoo design.
