iwishicouldapparate:

A short documentary on tattoo artist and painter Cris Cleen- an incredible artist working out at Saved Tattoo in Brooklyn, New York. He’s been at it, tattooing, for the past 9 years and creates incredible ‘turn of the century’, American/European, traditional work- both in his paintings and in his tattoos. I really admire the simplicity and vintage appeal in everything he puts out.

More and more my interest in the beauty of tattoos is growing. I wouldn’t be able to survive if I couldn’t be creative, and this man is an inspiration. The images he creates are stunning, as is his relationships with the recipients of his tattoos. Putting something permanent on your body says so much, but at the same time only the person with the tattoo understands what it truly means. It’s a visual relationship between mind and body.

I got my tattoo at Saved and at the time I had no idea how big of a deal that was. Now, i’m looking forward to #2 and getting it done there again.
