PATTERNS- JEAN LUC MOERMAN

 I really like Jean-Luc Moerman's images, I think his work is different to other's because,
he draws the patterns on to the images which are on paper. This has given me
ideas to draw my face templates on to peoples from magazines and
to experiment with different patterns to see what they
look like on the body.

Tattoo's from the Arctic

In S.T Lawrence island, they are known for there tattoo's. Tattooing became such a big thing in S.T Lawrence that it was seen as a mark of a 'Protective shield and sacrifice to the supernatural.' However within the last century tattoo's are not as popular in S.T Lawrence as they used to be. the reason behind this is because many diseases were passed on from the traditional way of creating the tattoo's.

Arctic Tattooing- What they used to tattoo the skin?

The image above is an example of one of the tattoo's they created, to create this tattoo they used a need, a stick dip with oil which is rubbed in shoot, where the shoot has come off the bottom of a kettle. To create the V shape on the forehead they created the line between the two eyes and then had a line coming from left and right.

The lines underneath the lips are also double, they go to the side of the face flicking outwards. the tattoos was created with 'Lamp-black' it is seen as 'Matron in there society'
