Tattoos Wohooo..Thats a head tattoo. Done by none other than the one and only our very own KELLY MANNING 12) A design you thought of inking but never did? Ans) I drew a beautiful woman recently, she is holding a very large knife which slices the image in half.The bottom half is a beautiful blend of classical elements and art deco motifs. Like trash polka style of tattooing is utilses black/grey and red.I would like to concen- trate on dotwork realism. Exploring archi- tecture and the body as canvas. Positioning tattoos to change the structure of how the body looks. I am quite interested exploring medical and cosmetic tattooing, i.e, clients whom have had mastectomies, people with pigmentation problems and so forth. 13) Your favorite Tattoo on a Celeb........? Ans) I don’t have one. To be honest its not something I have researched. For the ma- jority the celeb tattoos I have seen are all pretty awful and lack originality, perhaps that is because fans copy them and they end up everywhere. I do however like Cara Delevingne’s lion finger tattoo.However as a gen- eral rule I don't encourage finger tat- toos as they are hard to heal and generally do not wear well.
