One day, this guy just kind of figured - “I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?” - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that’s trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that’s too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!
Botanical Tattoos Made By Imprinting Real Leaves On The Skin
This is to the guys who are on a constant quest to find that one-of-a-kind tattoo. Ukrainian tattoo artist Rita “Rit Kit” Zolotukhina has found a way to make every tattoo unique with the helping hand of Mother Nature.
She calls them “botanical fingerprint” tattoos. “I’m a nature lover. So most of my sketches are related to flora. But the more I drew, the more I wanted something fresh and native, to feel the plants without any steps in between,” said Rita to Illusion Magazine . She dips real leaves and flowers into stencil ink before placing them onto the skin. As no two leaves are the same, each permanent imprints they leave on the skin is unique.
Finally your quest to get that unique tattoo is over… when you manage to find your way to Ukraine that is.
