Just recently, I've heard a lot of people slating other people's tattoos. saying they're 'out-dated'. Someone on a tattoo forum said that tribal tattoo work was "So 1990's" Yeah? Are you sure tribal tattoos weren't around thousands of years ago? Another person was so bold as to say that the above tattoo was "OK in the 80's". What bollocks!
The idea of having a tattoo is that it is permanent. Of course trends develop and fade, but a tattoo is for life. It isn't like last season's Dolce & Gabbana shirt or your Mum's acid perm, it is a permanent and timeless branding.
The above piece was done for a very good friend of mine, with quite a poignant meaning. A memorial for loved ones passed. The very idea that it can become 'out-of-date' after a few years is ridiculous. Anyone that fickle does not deserve to be a part of the Tattoo Army.
Nuff said
