Arabic tattoo designs

When the pattern of Arabic tattoos began, the standard Arabic font was the only choice
available, unless you knew someone who has Arabic set up on his personal computer and
can down load fonts for you. But now, you can Google the term "Arabic tattoo" and appear
throughout a lot of beautiful fonts and designs for your tattoo. Some websites offer
calligraphy which is a really specific way to screen your tattoo.

a position to explain to if you have given him a flipped design and style. So writing a
straightforward "left" and "right" on your design, ensures that the result will be an actual
Arabic inscription tattoo and not a mirrored one.
If you do discover to identify the Arabic letters at some level, you will arrive to understand
that several tattoos are truly meaningless, or inverted, rotated, mirrored and flipped.

mentioned the following thing: "When I started out pondering about my Arabic tattoo, I
believed that a easy Google look for will give me the response on how to translate my quick
tattoo phrase - 'my art my life'. But the much more I looked into it I realized that performing it
right means using this phrase to a skilled translator and a tattoo designer. It took a couple of
days additional but understanding that my tattoo is right was worth it. And getting a designer
myself I appreciated the option to decide on a design and style that is not like all the other
Arabic tattoos you see out there!"

Polynesia Tattoo History


It was not until the latter part of the 19 th century that western anthropologists made an effort
to inquire into the significance of tattooing within the context of traditional Polynesian life. A
few papers on Polynesian tattooing appeared in anthropology journals around the turn of the
century, and about the same time several anthropologists wrote books that included
descriptions of Polynesian tattooing. Unfortunately, however, what we know of Polynesian tattooing is only a small fragment of the whole. The vast majority of the designs, together
with the wealth of associated traditions, myths, and religious observances have been lost
forever. And we know little of the significance of  Tattooing as it was perceived by the
Polynesians themselves: we know it only as it was seen through European eyes.


Polynesian tattooing, as it existed before the arrival of Europeans in the South Pacific, was the
most intricate and skillful tattooing in the ancient world. It had evolved over thousands of
years throughout the islands of the Pacific and, in its most highly developed forms, was
characterized by elaborate geometrical designs which were often added to, renewed. and
embellished throughout the life of the individual until they covered the entire body. In beauty
and complexity, ancient Polynesian tattooing rivals the best work of modern masters of the
art.

Tattoo Artist: Dmitriy Samohin






Not unusual to hear from an artist. Most I have ever talked to discuss hearing praise for their work after years of practice and hard work. So what sets Dmitriy apart from everyone else?
“I might have been 5 or 6 when people began noticing my art and complimenting me on it.”
This early talent was fueled by a genuine passion for the craft. A love of art and the ability to create beauty out of imagination and air are what continued to drive Dmitriy to continue his craft and strive to evolve as an artist. So when did this passion, this love, turn to a desire towards putting ink to skin?
“I decided to become a tattoo artists during my time in the army. I discovered a tattoo magazine and after going through it I made the decision I had to become a tattoo artist. The form intrigued and fascinated me and I want to see things created on skin the same way they were brought to life on canvas.”
The road to becoming the artist he is today was long as it is with any number of tattoo artists. After the decision was made Dmitriy pursued the craft on his own without a traditional apprenticeship. Teaching himself without having anyone tell him what to do or how to do it allowed for a lot of experimentation and exploration. Dmitriy analyzed and studied other artists, what they did, their style, and began trying things himself always working towards bringing to life on skin that which he visualized in his head.

Today Dmitriy continues to evolve and learns daily drawing inspiration from everyday life around him.
“(Inspiration) comes from things I see walking down the street, things I hear, read, sometimes just little bits of conversation with people inspire me. Some of the artists I enjoy following ar Shawn Barber, Alex De Pase, Robert Hernandez, Zhivko, Boris, Jeff Gogue, Victor Portugal, and Phil Garcia to name a few.”
In all this inspiration Dmitriy has crafted amazing work. His imagination and ability to visualize what he wants to do is amazing and requires focus. While he realizes he is known for his realism he welcomes the challenge to do any kind of piece there is. A true passion for tattooing as an art and all the forms it comes in sparks a light of excitement and drive within form where the art just flows.
“I don’t think, I just make it happen. Listening to music while I work helps me to focus on delivering the best art that I can. It’s important to me that my clients are happy with the end result and it’s always nice to hear when a client is pleased with the work I have done for them. Every single piece I have done is special to me just as it is to my clients.”
Dmitriy continues to create amazing work out of Odesa in the Ukraine. His work is renowned and you can easily see why. The love, passion, and attention to detail, color, and art comes through in every piece. His ability to bring to life the vision that exists inside his head is truly a gift that this artist has honed since the rest of us were playing with blocks and trying to not spill our juice.
Any final words of encouragement or recommendations for other artists out there who hope to create art on skin with such amazing results?
“Paint and experiment as much as possible! Be creative, never cease to learn and be challenged! Use the right equipment for your art as well. I use Intenze Ink and Dragonfly machines for all my tattoo work that I do. Using the right tools makes a difference in the end result.”
If you are traveling internationally and looking for some work to remember your trip by you may want to route yourself through Odesa and visit Dmitriy. Something tells us you will not only walk away with some amazing new art but you will have met a true artist in the world.

Dmitry “Vision” Tattoo artist

Dmitry “Vision” is his tattoo artist name, but his real last name is Rusky.
Dmitry is an amazing realistic tattoo artist originating from Russia but is now working at the Wyld Chyld Tattoo studio in Pittsburgh, USA.

Like a lot of eastern tattoo artists there is a level of artistic elegance that somewhat separates them from west. It’s hard to put the finger on what exactly this depends on, but I’m constantly seeing the same pattern. I’m pretty sure pissing off a lot of other professional tattoo artists from the “west” part of the world. But that don’t really bother me at all. I know for a fact that I’m on to something here!
When looking at Dmitry Vision’s photo-realistic tattoos it’s very hard to believe that he has only been tattooing professionally since 2010! His kind of super talent doesn’t grow on trees, I can tell you that much.  Just look at this stunning rose tattoo and I’m pretty sure you will agree! The color blending, depth and superbly detailed texture really creates an unbelievable sense of photo-realism.
Dmitry loves color blending tattoos and specializes in nature photo-realism and portraiture, but is uniquely rounded in all genres.
