Brooklyn-based tattoo artist Amanda Wachob goes beyond the canvas, and combines the abstract of modern art with the ‘badass’ of tattoos.
She creates unique designs on skin—inked on backs, arms and such—that look as if they are painted on with brush, and are quite unlike the skulls, roses and tribal elements we usually see as tattoos.
When asked what her abstract tattoos mean, Wachob wrote: “It is based on the idea that color and form can describe or say more about a person than a representational image can.”
“That perhaps an abstracted shape is better equipped to convey something conceptual and intangible like a mood or an emotion,” she added.
