Canvas Ray- Pat

The idea behind Canvas Ray is to captivate the viewer and allow their minds to focus on the intention of the tattoo. An engraving so precise and accurate, an engraving that will last a lifetime. These images reflect the possibility of art in modification and not body mutilation. Light highlighting the details of emotions that are tattoo into a subjects skin. Emotion that causes the viewer to feel so much in such a short time period. Awe, wonder and pure fascination cross the mind of the viewer. Utters of the true mind upon seeing this body bringing the mind to a new intensity. To feel uncomfortable, exited, anxious or amazed is more than half the goal of this work.

Skin such as a canvas
Yours to mark, scar, decorate
Unusual and one of a kind
Each line a bit of pain
Each curve leaving more splendor
Once sharp lines now faded and dull
Leaving memory to do the work
From the first prick until the last free inch of space
Your skin your canvas
Truly beautiful yours forever to keep
