INKEDblog takes you beneath the skin of today's tattoo culture. Our mission is to celebrate tattooing as a modern art form which incorporates art, fashion, style, and pop culture. While paying homage and respect to the past, we look to present a contemporary take on the present and future of skin art.

Every BODY Has A Story - Nola Gurl
"I really love snakes and the spirit of the American Southwest so I wanted to capture that with this piece. The rattlesnake is based on crotalus viridus abyssus, or the Grand Canyon Rattlesnake. My dad died of cancer four years ago and the one thing that he wanted to do but couldn't was hike to the bottom of the Canyon before he died. I hiked to the bottom twice after he passed away so this piece serves as a tribute to that. The flowers are sacred datura, which grow throughout the canyon. On my inner arm is a canyon scene with baby snakes hatching out of eggs.
My work was done by Don Davis at Eye Candy Tattoo in New Orleans, LA.
