Every more reason why he would draw inspiration to those who love ink.
Whether you prefer to get a tattoo of this great artist’s portrait or prefer one of his masterpieces etched on your body in ink, Van Gogh’s works tell lots of stories. While some depict life, like the sunflower or starry sky, others portray confusion in a world of chaos, like the skull, which signifies death.
Van Gogh probably derived this from his long battle with mental illness – something he represents in artistic wonder in his pieces of art.
Tattoos often represent the wearers’ inner thoughts, and Van Gogh offers a wide range of emotions to relate with. Depending on how bold you can get, these tattoos are suitable for the forearm, off the shoulder, upper back, or at the back of the leg.
Getting a Van Gogh tattoo can represent different things for different people. It could be that you relate to his personal journey, or perhaps, you are simply a fan of Van Gogh’s fantastic artwork. The artist’s pieces can be romanticized, or you can get cartoon representations such as Alice in Wonderland.
No matter what tickles your fancy, you are bound to get something appropriate for the story you want to tell with your ink masterpieces.
Another lovely idea, if you would like to depict the power to turn things around that lies within you, is the Van Gogh-inspired painting of sunflowers that Alice repaints blood red.
It is inspirational, especially for someone with a dark past who has since decided to take control of their own lives and turn things around to be more suitable for them.
