Clark's Tattoo Incorporates Utah Wildflowers and a French Surrealist
Posted on Sunday, January 16, 2011 by New Tattoo Designs Today
Back in October, I briefly met Clark when I was passing through Penn Station at the end of the day. He was waiting for a train, so we didn't have a lengthy discussion, but he did let me photograph his right forearm:
There are two significant elements to this work. Clark is originally from Utah, and he has chosen to acknowledge this in ink by having Utah wildflowers incorporated in the piece.
The figure is bordered by the French phrase "Nul n'est censé ignorer" which can be translated as "ignorance is no excuse." The figure is based on the work of French painter and poet Francis Picabia.
Clark credited both Jonah Ellis and Joss Macetti at Graceland Brooklyn for work on this tattoo.
Thanks to Clark for sharing this with us here on Tattoosday!
