So You Want a Surrealism Tattoo? | Tattoo Styles

[@PBPTLP]

This man is authentic. Not just in words, but in his perception and philosophy. "Go to the bookstore." "I'll end up copying." You don't hear these phrases from tattoo artists. This is raw. I love it. Inked, bring him back.

[@felixbelanger2659]

Agreed, but does he really need to say f**k or sh*t every 3 words?

[@lifeimitatingdeath3608]

He doesn't wanna see other people's work cuz he's worried he'll copy them?.. But likes to look at books for ideas? You don't see the hypocrisy in that?

[@lifeimitatingdeath3608]

Just cuz it's not on the internet, doesn't mean it's not plagarism..

[@lifeimitatingdeath3608]

Plagiarism

[@orlandocruzlopez3536]

@@felixbelanger2659 why does that matter?

[@taylorcampbell332]

Doesn't do color tattoos because he recognizes he's "not skilled enough" yet with color. "Once I think I can't get better: Number 1 I'm *definitely* an asshole. And number 2, I need to stop tattooing." This guy is going to be an even more amazing tattoo artist as the years pass.

[@ablueskyahead_art]

This guy is artist gold. From one artist to another thank you.

[@xxvdrawings9452]

This guy is a real artist. I think in this time with social media and internet it's just so easy to copy things and copy art, the most difficult is to create art and this man just does it by listening to music and reading books. An example for many! Keep up the amazing work!

[@GreenFusel]

When approaching a design he seems to work and think a lot in the line of symbolism, so no wonder he's not a very fluent speaker when it comes to his thought process although I think his artistic attitude is really nice, if it's sincere.

[@GreenFusel]

But I really feel him speaking out about his perfectionist tendencies, I know what you mean, bro ❤

[@sadpotato3386]

I really like and appreciate the tattoo at 11:27 I relate to it.

[@BANGZ56]

I'm more of a traditional tattoo collector but its a must to get tatted by this man one day.

[@samblocker]

Those are beautiful. My uncle was a tattoo artist and I would have given anything to be able to get inside his head and see where and how he got his inspiration for his designs. I love the fact that you have people write you stories to help capture the most authentic piece possible. Kudos to you. Keep up the great work. ❤❤

[@Fhatu_za]

These tattoos are amazing

[@hitchano]

With his comemets on not letting other art influence his own, I feel like any artist should take into consideration the counter argument of isolation. The Author JC Mcrae (pen name Wildbow) had said that the other best way to find your style is to embrace all the art around you. Any original work is the product of 1000 inspirations.

[@vasilyv4743]

is there more context to this quote or that's it? weeblewobble is a wise man

[@hitchano]

@@vasilyv4743 It was in one of wibbleboar's reddit comments if I remember correctly but I can do some digging. Found it! It was an interview he did on a blog with a user T4nky: "I think to truly create anything original with its own merit, you have to consume vast amounts of media. People say you need to read, but I believe in watching television, watching movies, reading comics, reading manga, listening to music, meeting people, and going through hardships. If something is so centric to a work that an author can say, “I was inspired by [movie] or [book]”, then my gut feeling is that they haven’t broken down things into small enough pieces. I could list a thousand works that inspired tidbits or facets of Worm, but I feel like it would be dishonest to point to something in abstract and give it a measure of credit."

[@DrSlobGoblin]

Finding Wildbow mentions in the wild feels weird. Sometimes you're not even sure that Worm exists because no one seems to know it.

[@feliciahorner7472]

This is one of the most inspiring videos I have seen in a long time. I really love this type of video ideas. It gives a different perspective and really show the thoughts and inner talent, and passion in an artist. It shows how beutiful and creative the tattoo industri can be. Defently keep going with this kind of videos, they are incredible. // Sincerly, a young women who dream of being a part of the tattoo industri

[@Treha1da]

I like this type of video. A good break from the “crazy tattoo stories”. But, this is more of a profile video instead of a video on surrealism. Nice change of pace.

[@CuriousGoodsJessica]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful vocal expression in addition to the visuals. I have the greatest respect and admiration for these tattoo artists who are ARTISTS, creating a real work of art on skin requires great talent and effort than not all tattoers really have.

[@spegetiman]

Its scary because it looks like it is so easy to mess up

[@timeshiftedprios5564]

Because it is. I bet his heart is racing the whole time too 😅

[@felonymelody4773]

The girl who tattooed me yesterday was shivering before we started and looked as nervous as me, It was my first and she nailed it too. But yeah, it’s a lot of pressure

[@rhinoblessnyc8324]

Tattoo artist are the best to Express yourself then a psychiatrist 🙂✌🏼👏🏼♥️🌹

[@_RoyalPhoenix_]

Honestly loved everything about this video but 11:23 probably my favorite tattoo design just because it’s so relate able to me & could be seen in more then one way

[@UjiKae]

This is strong boss. Powerful message and trully deep meaning bro! I love the work, very touching work boss!

[@mellojello5163]

I love surrealism 😍😍

[@AvecJoanna]

So talented! Love it 🖤

[@honestlynate7922]

I like feeling happy and sad because it means emotion is moving thru me. I like feeling my lungs expand because it means oxygen is moving through me. We should be friends

[@BrynnKelly2014]

This is beautiful - the art and his story

[@Blood_Hibiscus]

Beautiful. This is one of Inks best videos. Not sure about any of you but this video made me feel some type of way🤔

[@TotalTennisGeek]

His moods seem so heavy; I don't know him. Anyway, I just hope that he has some light in his life everyday. Light in multiple senses of the word.

[@ksams2877]

I love his work and story. I would love to know where he is. I have a lifetime of stories 💔💜💔

[@123-o4v1e]

The first 18 seconds of this had me dying.

Im very positive that the face he's drawing is the face of philosopher alber camus

[@Depersona244]

I wish I lived in NYC 🥺 Not sure there’s any artist in my area that do anything like this.

[@SnoOpDoGGfan100]

Wait so I have a question, wouldn't this type of tattoo end up smudging? Because of the intricate and small details.

[@ifigenija21]

Awsome work but it dosent last the test of time look at the dog above bet thats not even 10 years old n another 20 years its gone

[@The_officialDrengr]

Nothing ever does last. The trick too life is enjoying things while you can.

[@KilpatrickProductions]

then once its faded you put a cyborg panther wizard breathing fire on top

[@littlesilver2205]

i was just going to say that the ink he has of the dog on top is already faded ,when you dilute with water its just not going to last .But thats how these surreal s go,he is still learning also, beautiful work tho.

[@garybarrel6822]

Im not ragging his work its good but i have 20 year old tattoos that are not mag3 thin lines n there shit so thats going to be gone in 15 -20 years american traditional is the way and aleays has been readable forever

[@daniellewalker256]

Maybe but then you can go back and get it retouched. That doesn’t work when you get the super bold tattoos and the lines all blur into each other and become a big black blob. Worst case scenario, this one fades and the original artist isn’t around to redo it so he covers it up or lasers it off. Both options are easy with this style. 🤷🏻‍♀️

W-what's he tattooing? Geez, someone needs to learn how to appreciate simple conversation.

[@paulg5220]

The mother tattoo was a wreck

[@ef6042]

e f amazing ideas, amazing human, stop using a soulless machine to express yourself! Freehand that! That’s just my preference, maybe it’s his way of balancing? I refuse to get any stencil work done anymore after seeing and feeling the difference in tattoos and people who give them

[@arieldejesustattoos8441]

[@c0wboys4life]

*Man this seem more like a look inside the artist Snuffy than talking about Surrealism tattoos, like cool story bro but* 😒

[@xnpl3132]

This guy thinks he’s cool cause he mixes up ideas in 1 tattoo... bro your not different everyone does that.
