Artist’s signature ..?
when i got my ink a couple of months back i asked my tattooist to freehand a little ornamental design at the end of the lettering for aesthetical reasons. and this little something he made is his signature : it goes fairly well with the design and i’m happy since it’s someone i like a lot but many people keep asking what it is. so my question is :
do many of you have your artist’s signature on your ink ? or is it so unusual ?
no regrets, nothing, just curiosity !!
duuuuh, obviously not his full name adress email phonenumber and cell.. just a really nice initial of his name in vines.
obviously i’m happy with it and dn’t give a damn if people dislike it. as stated previously, just sheer curiosity, i mean i’m madly in love with my ink, and wouldn’t imagine it without the little signature at the end.
None of my work has been signed yet, but I’ve planned to have my back signed as I think it’s a lovely idea.
A tattoo artist shouldn’t be someone you choose out of a phone book.. people are getting tattoos from random, unsafe parlours, and not only that, they aren’t thinking their designs through. If you really like a flash design, more power to you, though I wish more people would take the time to think about what a tattoo is, what it means, and the role of the person who tattoos them.
I believe that tattooing is not about just a few minutes in the chair and having the novelty of a tribal armband (this is just an example based on the popularity of tribals). After a month or so, it won’t be “new”. In fact, it will get very old. As old as you are, forever.
A tattoo, to me, is neither a fad nor a fashion statement. A tattoo is joining with an artist that you trust, respect and admire to create a piece of everlasting art *in your body* that you will carry with you wherever, whenever. You can’t get away from your body.. you may change your clothes or your hair or your town, but your tattoos are always with you.
Think before you ink, please. I’m not trying to preach or look down on anyone’s tattoos, just trying to ensure that others enjoy their tattoos as I do mine. Go to a clean, comfortable parlour. Make friends with your artist, establish a relationship, trust them. They are the ones who understand your visions and make them a permanent reality.
Apologies for length, but I’m passionate about it!

Most gardeners know that just the right amounts of sunshine & water combined with great soil and hard work bring their backyard oasis to life. Quickly, after the snow melts, the ground thaws and our singing feathered friends return, each spring gardeners across the country look forward to rolling up their sleeves and getting their hands dirty to cultivate their soil to create a garden of their favorite flowers, shrubs and trees.
A gardener’s shovel is to an artist’s brush. A gardener’s choice of colorful flowers, shrubs and trees is to an artist’s collection of paints, pencils and oils. An artist’s signature is to a gardener’s…hmmm?
The choice of garden decor that is placed throughout the landscape is undoubtedly the signature of a gardener. What does that mean? Simply, a gardener that chooses a sailboat weathervane over a rooster weathervane is more likely to be a water loving individual rather than a country/farm loving individual. It’s how they choose to express themselves in the garden.
The garden is an excellent place for one to set aside the hectic lifestyle of today for a moment, a weekend, or anytime that enables you to step into you backyard hide-a-way. The person that you are inside can be expressed with the garden decor you choose. Your choice of garden decor, your choice of its finish and your choice of its size all factor into the person that you are. Garden decor is an essential part of the garden; it brings happiness, joy, and it can even refresh the soul of its visitors.
Even the most colorful gardens can feel empty without the addition of some garden decor. A bed of roses is very beautiful, but add an elegant sundial or a birdbath, and now the bed of roses become incredibly beautiful. Garden decor adds style, brings comfort and let’s gardeners set the stage for another’s imagination. Each piece of garden decor can help create a scene, a story or a memory that brings life and meaning to the garden.
Gardening should always be fun and not a chore. Your passion for gardening is hard work but always fulfilling. Gardening should be about you and your artistic ability to create a space that is warm, inviting and a stepping stone into who you are as a person. Your garden decor will speak volumes of you and how you define yourself. It will be your signature to your backyard canvas!
