Makes Me Miss My Spirograph

Berlin-based tattoo artist, Chaim Machlev, creates stunning abstract geometric designs comprised of ribbons and lines that follow the contours of the body like some kind of 3-D mapping. They remind me so much of the hypnotic shapes I used to make with my Spirograph. I played with that thing for years. Maybe it was one of his favorite toys, too.

    I am not sure about these. I can see the resemblance to the Spirograph pictures of old though. Although they are intricate, they are just not pretty enough for my liking!!

    Hmmm…. Spirograph. Maybe I need to buy myself, err I mean my little person, a new box of Spirograph. Those tattoos also remind me of Escher.

    Ooh! Loved Spirograph too – think I still have mine in the loft, will have to look it out. See the Escher link as well.

    These don’t look real – they almost seem to be popping off of the people, rather than on them (even though I know this isn’t the case). But they are cool!
