I spotted this interesting tattoo while in Penn Station last month:
Christina, to whom this piece belongs, called this a "reverse tattoo," in that the main focal point of the piece is the word "Flawed".
The word is empty of ink and is created by the artist using negative space.
But why "flawed?" Christina explained that "we all have a weakness" and that "only God is perfect." It"s a reminder that "everyone has need for improvement" and that no one is ever perfect.
This is one of four of Christina's tattoos.
Thanks to Christina for sharing this with us here on Tattoosday!
