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 - Gary Gertz
"My tattoo is based on the theme of transformation, and the act of getting needled is in itself a transformation.
I took along time to find an inker who understood that I did not want some "flash". and I did not want a copy of an existing piece of art on my skin. (I talked about the transformation using MC Escher as an example of what I wanted, many people offered to transfer an Escher to my skin - no thanks).
Finally I met someone (Jason Riddick - A.R.T. Studio Tattoos, Long Beach Island, NJ) who was interested in doing some creative work and we looked at Escher's big Metamorphosis piece and picked out the theme - Bees on my arm change to Butterflies on my chest & back and I
started the work.
There is a ton more to do, we will be adding a Sky Background with a Sun on my chest and Moon on my back - the piece is still transforming, so am I, so are we all.
