Perhaps the most important aspect of being a lover of art – whether that art is music or fashion or painting or tattoo – is the ability to recognise a new and different approach and to appreciate it for what it is. In other words, the ability to move forward in taste and appreciation is essential to having a broad and on going appreciation for art. It’s fine to like one particular style or one particular genre of any given art form, but sticking only to that style or genre limits the extent to which new art can grow and flourish. In other words, don’t just eat potatoes if there’s a whole table full of food, sample it all.
Tattoo artist Bugs (aka Pascal Jarrion) is exactly what I’m talking about when it comes to experiencing something new. Mixing styles of painting with tattoo isn’t any easy thing to do, but Bugs is not afraid to try. And that’s a great thing because the end result of his mix of cubism, art deco and classical art creates tattoos unlike anything else out there right now. That may or may not be your thing, but the point is that Bugs is an original in his field of tattoo and it makes looking at his work all the more interesting once you get into his style.
