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 - Dru

margarettat.jpg

"I have always been really taken by Margaret Kilgallen's work since i first came across it. Her work has really inspired myself and my own artwork. Her large murals of womyn and intricate typography are amazing and her work has a strong philosophy and is laced with so many stories. My first tattoo were olive branches on my chest; I had found the design on a webpage featuring her work. I really wanted some artwork that would more noticably be from her. The next tattoo came from a book I have featuring her artwork, and I got in done for barter by a local artist. It is still unfinished and needs touch up, and though I am looking forward to expanding the artwork onto my shoulder and lower back, I really appreciate what it is right now and what it stands for now; which is that everything is in transition and that i can appreciate things for the "imperfection, the part that is off."
