When I recently upgraded my camera, the first new photo I took, of Lindsay's tattoo, convinced me I had selected well:
This lovely tattoo, on Lindsay's upper left arm, is punctuated by this part of the tattoo on her biceps:
The picture tells the story and the words, all meaning a form of "peace" in Hebrew, Arabic, Sanskrit, and English, punctuate the images just inches away.
Lindsay took a class on world religions at the University of Rhode Island and this influenced her greatly. She wanted the tattoo to focus on the beauty at the heart of religion, and to disregard the conflict that so often plagues religious dogma.
Lindsay feels that the tenet of peace is often lost and this is her way of expressing how it means so much, but is forgotten in relations with people of different backgrounds.
She brought a picture that somewhat embodied how she wanted the tattoo to look in to Artfreek Tattoo in Providence, Rhode Island. She and the artist Brian Mullen collaborated on interpreting what she wanted the piece to embody and she was very happy with the end result.
The tattoo was completed in two short sittings that spanned four hours.
Work from Artfreek has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.
Thanks to Lindsay for sharing this fabulous tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
