Interesting idea...the tattoo of the 21st century...
I definitely want to explore new and unusual ideas. The main reason that many of my pieces tend towards somewhat-traditional tattoo images is simply because I'm trying to show my own spin on classic tattoo designs for my portfolio. I've been told that it's good to show a knowledge of and ability to work with the standards of tattooing when trying to find an apprenticeship.
However, I have been trying to break out somewhat, even if it's only as simple as adding little tweaks to the idea (making the koi more cartoonish, making the traditional parchment banner into spray paint, etc).
I think you raise an interesting question, and an artistic challenge!
