My new tattoo

[Heresy 10+ year member]

Your tatoo isnt art. Its a ****ing iguana. Come on now. I doubt theres serious meaning behind it for it to truely be art. Art comes from the heart and mind and is a interpretation of ones feelings. So unless you like to **** iguanas and thats your passion its not art. Its a retarded tatoo. Blow me

A tattoo is very much art. That is like saying that Don Quixote by Picasso doesn't qualify as art because it is nothing more than a doodle. Art can be anything. Look at Black Square by Malevich, Composition with Red, Yellow Blue and Black by Mondrian, or even Warhol's Campbell's Soup Can series. Duchamp's Fountain was probably the biggest snub against the pretentiousness of art critics. I have even seen that work in person along with canvases by Van Gogh, Rembrant, Monet, and many other names that people immediately recall when you say the word "art". A tattoo artist has as much validity as an artist as Michelangelo. The differences in the medium, the style, the time period, the (arguable) talent, etc. are apparent, but each fits into the definition of producing "the conscious use of skill and creative imagination especially in the production of aesthetic objects".

'Art' is in the eye of the beholder.

Does welding two cars togather then smashing them with a hammer qualify as art? Not in my book but in others it would.

IMO, most tattoos are art, but keep them small, meaningful, and in a place that is discreet.

I think I see your point. There is a lot of shit people pass off as art.
