True Relaxation

By Jordan Ginsberg • Oct 30th, 2009 • Category: ModBlog


It’s not uncommon to see works of fine art adapted into tattoos—sometimes with varying degrees of success. This, however, is one of the first attempts we’ve seen at a scarification adaptation—based on a Klimt piece—and, honestly, we’re thrilled with what Christiane (at Pinpoint Piercing in Oslo, Norway) has done here. Excellent choice of a painting to adapt to the medium and wonderfully executed—lovely, lovely work.

    Oh my that is one hairy chest.

    Cool cutting though, reminds me of a figure drawing class i once had to take.

    I think I like this over other pieces due to the roughness of the lines.

    This is definitely one of the best cuttings I have ever seen. It’s nice to see someone going for something a little more artistic than something that just looks cool as a scar.
    Kudos!
