Amanda Wachob

I have always thought about getting a tattoo, never seriously though. I have a problem with the generic quality of them; even when people get something they drew, designed, or thought up - it still doesn't strike me as that original. Look at this girl's work. I have never seen tattoos like Amanda Wachob creates. I specifically want one of her abstract tattoos. She also seems to do some tattoos with distilled water instead of ink, which has somewhat of an impermanent quality - basically my perfect idea of a tattoo. I think that the one below that is in light red lettering is one of these distilled water tattoos. I love the paint tattoos, because having these marks on me are so normal and natural to begin with. And her background is in painting!!!
