Issue No. 41 decoratively dips into Spring
with a splash of gold with our cover
featuring the stunning New York artist, Lina
Valentina. Her edgy artwork possesses
distinct elements that are sure to catch your
eye. She incorporates notions most of us
are obsessed with in one form or another,
whether it be pain, darkness, materialism,
and even vanity.
This issue houses some of the most
profound and dynamic editorial we have ever
featured. As we celebrate the evolution of
tattoo culture and lifestyle with a new issue, I
ask you, “what ‘InkSpires’ you?”
Signed,
Your Chief Editor- Candies Deezy Liu
Speaking of vanity, Blood On The Dance
Floor graces our music and style section.
Their form of “vanity” is not at all in a
negative way. It is a concept that they have
embraced and portrayed to their audience
in the form of self-love. This idealism of
ourselves encourages the way we express
our uniqueness to the outside world.
As tattoo culture has become a widespread
global phenomenon, our attention turns to
“InkSpiration” around the world.
InkSpired’s travel and art editor, Joseph
Findeiss journeys to Iceland for a beautiful
photo essay, capturing his adventures in the
Nordic nation.
In other international news, we feature Anja
Ringgren Lovén, who works in Nigeria to
rescue young children who are accused
of witchcraft in our Positive Spin section.
Her mission work and passion has saved
many lives as she continues to generate
awareness on this haunting issue in Third
World countries.
