They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

The art of life is to show your hand

Gabor, the minimalist scarification artist/tattoo artist from Budapest has done it again with a nice looking hand scar. What’s great about Gabor is that his unique designs embrace a minimalistic abstract style of art, both in terms of design and execution.

    Poorly designed Koru, obviously Maori inspired, right down the inner markings which look haphazard and misplaced. Would have looked better without the inner markings. Uninspoiring and displeasing aesthetically.
