5 - Time Stands Still \r
This piece tells a story, time is running out for the creature known as the bumble bee and as a brilliant man once said, if the bee dies so shall man as well, this piece of art imbued into skin and ink seems to work as a warning as well as a stunning piece of human canvas artwork. The line and collection of black, grey and white gives the pocket watch real flair and seems to pop out of the skin with 3-D imagery. And that butterfly poking out of the left corner is truly remarkable and beautiful, but its that bee drenched in color at the top which reflects against the cool metal of the watch which really sets this piece alive. The artist, Niki Norberg, hails from Sweden and prefers to work with realism with high levels of detail and clear contrast, as clearly evidenced in this gorgeous piece. \r

4 - Violin \r
The best work is found in the details, the shading is beyond beautifully executed and as any art student will lament to you, human hands are one of the hardest things to sketch. But this piece of art made flesh appears flawlessly crafted. Soft and light tones really help to make skin art pop and appear three-dimensional as so brilliantly portrayed in this lush arm tattoo. Matteo Pasqualin can be found in Italy though his skin art has been featured in magazines around the globe and one look at his facebook page will show you why. \r

3 - Dream Big\r
This black and white piece of skin art depicts Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, two principle charers of the civil rights movement and they have never looked more real, the shading and contrast of light and dark really allow these charers from the history books fly off the pages and into fleshy reality. Jun Cha was born and raised in Los Angeles where he now has his own private studio, black and white is his favorite inked aesthetic and has earned recognition all over the world and has a lengthy client list of celebrities and his world renowned work often focuses on identity and relationships between history and contemporary society. Check out his facebook page for only a few minutes and be ready to be floored. \r

2 - Frida Kahlo\r
Frida was an amazing Mexican artist who suffered greatly from a bus accident she found herself in when she was only 18, this woman is absolutely inspiring, she taught herself to paint with her feet, she was intelligent and held her own against men of power and intellect at a time when women were thought of as less than human. And this stunning portrait seems to capture her spirit, her essence her very soul. Those hardened eyes, that unmistakable unibrow, even those tiny whiskers of moustache hairs protruding from her lower lip. A stunning absolutely divine representation of one of my all-time favorite artists, and shes not even complete! That purple headband of hers still needs coloring in, but the piece is so magnificent it seemed necessary to include it. Since its an incomplete piece heres a snapshot of a completed tattoo by this devastatingly realistic tattoo master, behold Johnny Cash! And now, stand back, its Johnny Depp as John Waters charer Cry Baby! The astounding artist is Ryan Evans who hails from London England, find him on Instagram and facebook, hes worth the research, and a trip to whatever shop he happens to frequent.\r

1 - Catwoman and Sailor Moon\r
Michelle Pfeiffer killed it in her portrayal of Catwoman in the Tim Burton Gothic inspired film, Batman Returns and this piece of flesh art kills it as well. As does this strikingly beautiful image of skin art which is of the one and only Pretty Sailor Soldier, Sailor Moon! Two of my absolute favorite things from childhood, my eyes are overjoyed and have fallen in love with this world recognised tattoo artist. This amazingly talented artist of skin, flesh, ink and color hails from California and is the owner of Black Anchor Collective tattoo shop. The biography reads, I couldnt have dreamed I would have the experiences that Ive had and all the great people that Ive met because of tattooing and for that I am truly grateful. Swoon! These images packed with vibrant color and detail have captured my soul. Stroll over to instagram or facebook and take a peek at Nikkos resume of ink. For Nikko Hurtado is one of the best tattoo artists on the planet.
