Inspiration

MOVIES | ARTISTS | MUSIC
Inspiration. Looking in dictionaries, there is usually more than one definition for this word.

One of the definitions refers to the action of introducing air or another gaseous substance into the lungs. Needless to say how important this action is, without it we would not be able to breathe, and neither would we be able to smoke!
The other definitions for inspiration present concepts very similar to each other:

Sudden lucidity that a person feels and favors the search for solutions to a problem;
Conception of ideas that allow to undertake a project;
Stimulus felt by the artist that drives creation;

From the Latin inspiratĭo, it can also refer to the enlightenment that a divinity or supernatural force brings to a person.
Definition of Inspiration
RAE
Wherever it comes from, this impulse, stimulus, or impulse is always indispensable and welcome when it comes to creating a tattoo.

In the elaboration of the drawings of tattoosOf course, it is important to be inspired. But creating a beautiful tattoo is not only the tattoo artist's job, since it is up to the one who will wear it on his skin to decide what he wants.

I encourage all those who want to get a tattoo enjoy the search for these drawings that will accompany and represent you.

We can find inspiration everywhere, there are moments when we even have to open our eyes and it's already there, the way to capture some idea we have for a tattoo.

At other times it is difficult to find inspiration, we want to represent an idea and we do not know what iconography we can use. Or we really like a drawing but we do not know which ideas are associated with that figure.

In these cases it can be very helpful to document, study, talk to others, learn new stories. Learning and remembering can motivate us to find the necessary inspiration to sketch a thought on paper and therefore engrave it on our skin.

There are those who seem to have been truly inspired when they made their works. And whatever the result of their inspiration, it seems to be contagious.

In this section of the website I want to share with all of you things that inspire me. Places, books, movies, music and anything that can excite you in the search of ideas and solutions for your next tattoos.
