Get your tat on!

Write the book you want to read

Hey guys, so seeing as this is my first blog post I thought that I would do something interesting that kind of tickles my fancy these days.

The not so big taboo, TATTOOS.

Now I am sure we have all seen some awful reality show about Americas worst tattoos, seriously making us doubt the intelligence of one of  the most advanced nations in the world. No that they have to get tattoos to make us doubt their  tell intelligence. If you haven’t, let me enlighten you, check out these appalling tattoos and please remember THINK BEFORE YOU INK.http://worst-tattoo-ever.tumblr.com/

Okay, so that is how to please not do it? Just don’t.

In Austin Kleon’s steal like an artists he talks about how to be creative. In one of the techniques he writes about, writing the book you want to read. It’s all about doing what you like, creating what you think will work.

People most successful in applying his theory is definitely those brave enough to tattoo their book on their body. Its art. Its cool.

It’s a very thought through process. The creative process for some, is a greatly thought through tattoo after doing tons of research, consulting with tattoo artist on how to better the design and asking loved ones what they think(not that they listen, they do whatever they want anyway) and rightfully so, it’s their story to write. Now I am not going to bore you with the history of tattoos but let me tell you it’s not as new as we think. Some of the first tattoos were found on mummies. If you want to know more about the history of tattoos check outhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_tattooing

Let’s try and commit more to our art like the brave souls with tattoos. I’m not saying get a full sleeve or get a tat, but write your own story, write what you would like to read. Don’t worry about what others say, just write your story.
