Working directly from the nature she encounters on her frequent travels, Crimean tattoo artist Pis Saro creates body art that is true-to-life. Although they are nearly accurate enough to be scientific illustrations, the creations somehow retain their dreaminess and optimism. They look to me like hope, and that’s how they began. The series started as a way for young women to cover their cutting scars, and they continue to represent a better future, both for the artist and for the people who have the good fortune to wear her work. What a lovely way to spend your life as an artist!

What a talented artist and committed human being. Those who cut or know someone who struggles with it will find support and hope in her work. Thank you for sharing.

She really is an inspiration, and I love the positive message the flowers represent.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen more beautiful tattoos. Her talent is incredible and she’s not exactly got the easiest substrate to work on.

Absolutely true! I love how she includes exactly the right amount of detail without crossing over into fussy.

I generally speak to no one about this, although to anyone with eyes it is obvious–my full sleeve, Mucha girl, absinthe flowers, koi fish, waterfall and chrysanthemum– was to transform the past where two years were spent destroying myself, into art. I love that this is now a “thing” and that such beautiful work is coming out of it.

That’s lovely. We all have scars of some description, but not all of us have the clarity of mind and strength of spirit to turn the bad into something good. Kudos!

I love the concept of transformation being even more than is usually thought of by tattoos!

It’s a really positive statement without making the wearer declare to the world that they have struggled.

That first image looked so three-dimensional.
Another note….you have said that were not planning on getting a tattoo…but you’ve featured quite a few posts of rather incredible tattoos. I can’t be sure, but I think I detect the sound of waning.

You’re a smart boy. It’s true. There are warning klaxons going off all over the place. I’m planning on getting myself something really spectacular when I retire (which is still a few years away). In the meantime, it’s fun to plan!
