Artist Tattoos People With The Tools Of Their Professions

Published 9 years ago

Trade defines the man, so why not tattoo your tools on your skin? That’s what artist Oozy does with his tattoos. His detailed monochrome works frequently feature kitchen tools like knives (for sushi chefs), egg beaters, and so forth. If a person spends all day working with those tools and loves their work, why not have them inked?

Oozy comes from South Korea. He has won various prizes and held exhibits. If you want to see more similar tattoos (albeit with less knives), check out the sketch-like works of Nomi Chi here. Or have a look at Pony Reinhardt’s vintage science illustration inspired works here.

Writes like a mad dervish, rolls to dodge responsibility, might have bitten the Moon once.

Got wisdom to pour?
