Black Tattoos by Tattooist Roxx TwoSpirit aka Bling Bling Roxx

It’s extremely rare that I see a tattoo, that – in my opinion – suits the body. I love the body by itself. I find harmonic bodies extremely beautiful. And I can never see myself getting a tattoo… just as I can never see myself wearing the same shirt or necklace everyday, for the rest of my life. Or having the exact same piece or art hanging in my living room for the next 55 years of my life.

But. These tattoos by Roxx TwoSpirit a.k.a. Bling Bling Roxx are more graphic, less detailed and looks way more like a piece of clothing than when I usually see tattoos. Super cool. Especially if you could wear them for just one day ;)

Suspended Together by Saudi Arabian Artist Manal Al Dowayan

Such a strong art installation!!

At first you think: doves… pretty… letters to bring around the world… freedom.
But when you look into the project, you’ll find out, that these birds are frozen. And they are carrying permission documents, that are required for Saudi women to travel. Yes, they need a permission from their husband, dad or brother.

“Suspended Together” is an installation that gives the impression of movement and freedom. However, a closer look at the 200 doves allows the viewer to realize that the doves are actually frozen and suspended with no hope of flight. An even closer look shows that each dove carries on its body a permission document that allows a Saudi woman to travel. Notwithstanding their circumstances, all Saudi women are required to have this document, issued by their appointed male guardian.

The artist reached out to a large group of leading women from Saudi Arabia to donate their permission documents for inclusion in this artwork. “Suspended Together” carries the documents of award-winning scientists, educators, journalists, engineers, artists and leaders with groundbreaking achievements that gave back to their society. The youngest contributor is six months old and the oldest is 60 years old. In the artist’s words, “regardless of age and achievement, when it comes to travel, all these women are treated like a flock of suspended doves.”

The installation is called Suspended Together, and it’s by Saudi Arabian artist Manal Al Dowayan.

Flesh Love by Hal

This photo series is called Flesh Love. It’s create by the Tokyo-based artist and photographer Hal, who says:

”When you embrace your lover, sometimes you wish to melt right into them. To realize this wish, I’ve been photographing couples in small or even cramped spaces like motel and bathtubs. As my work has become more and more intense, I’ve noticed that communication is indispensable. This time, I reached the point of photographing couples in vacuum-sealed packs, in a set that I’ve constructed in my own kitchen.”
