(acrylic wash, ink, colored pencil on illustration board)
This is my take on tattoos for Illustration Friday. The illustration is inspired by traditional art from India and the Mehndi tattoos that are done as part of a woman's wedding ceremony. The deeper the henna stain, the deeper the love of the groom for the bride.... or so they say. Anyway, I like the idea of tattoos being connected to ritual and tradition and collective identity, as opposed to commodities that we so easily purchase nowadays.
