If you’ve ever contacted BodyCandy, you may have spoken to a woman
who has one of the coolest tattoos on the planet without even realizing
it. I’m talking about our team member Nicole, and this, my all time
favorite of her many lively and colorful tattoos
Nicole has a very vibrant
personality, and has told me before that she definitely loves color.
The thing that really struck me though about this particular piece of
body mod is that, like so many great works of art, it seems to have
taken on a life of its own. The idea started with just a short and
simple explanation by miss Nicole of what she was thinking and how she
wanted it portrayed, and then, like magic, she and her talented tattoo
artist took a giant leap forward and turned her vision into an entire
leg sleeve!
I’m told that it started with the artist using marker to sketch this design out over her calf. Then the outline
of the piece was inked, and following that a series of sessions in
which the color was filled. Now, things like this don’t just happen
overnight. We’re talking about multiple sessions, worth big bucks, and
culminating in hours of cumulative tattoo work. And although this
particular idea grew larger than expected and took on a life of its own,
it bears mention that tattoos should be carefully thought out and planned, like this one still certainly was.
So if you’re thinking that this piece still looks a tad unfinished,
we’ll let you in on some insider information about where it’s going
next. Rumor has it that our colorful friend the octopus is eventually going to be holding (wait for it), an interesting umbrella.
