The more I think about body decoration, the more I liken it to interior design. In both instances, one is dealt a prescribed amount of surface area and volume (forget renovations and additions for the sake of my point) on which to dole out color, pattern, and scale with intention. Placement of tattoos on the body is sort of like a furniture plan or an electrical plan that is more fixed. There are big important furnishings that take up more volume and budget, and then the accessory items. This hierarchy exists in tattooing too, with customization for both house and body decoration requiring patience and lead-time. And while your clients want a room that is fully functional, I personally adhere to the concept of a house that is never “done”, meaning there is room for another cool occasional chair, or an object on the bookshelf, or paintings over a doorway. There’s always room for one more smallish tattoo placed just so.
Public relations guru Andrew Joseph is happy to be working in a creative field where self-expression is valued and appreciated. He views tattoos as permanent fashion accessories. Andrew got his first tattoo, the VItruvian Man, at 36. When he opened Andrew Joseph PR he got the serpent tattoo, which is also his company logo, chosen for its powerful rejuvenation symbolism. All of Andrew’s tattoos relate to his love of design and the art of storytelling. He says, “Public Relations is certainly about perception and I believe I am conveying that I am original and unique if not just a little rebellious and fun. ” Joseph is loyal to the work of artist Blaise Locasio’s of Ink Inc.
