But what we really love about this set of tattoos is the way they come together to complete the word “soulmates.” They’re very reminiscent of those old school “best friends” necklaces that so many of us shared with our BFFs when we were younger. They’re soulmates and these text pieces-done by Tan, a South Korean hand poke tattooer-spell it out loud and clear in multi-colored lettering. This couple went literal with their tattoos. But an angry god cut the lovers’ shared body in half and separated them, forcing us to now search for our soulmates instead of being matched automatically. They were born soulmates, sharing one body so they could be together forever. According to the myth, humans used to be fused together at the spine. The blackwork design is based on the Myth of Aristophanes (written by Greek philosopher Plato), which describes the origin of soulmates. These matching tattoos by Russian artist Jio Maia are complex, much like the story that inspired them. You can find the video of the myth on YouTube, it’s beautiful! Thank you Matthijs & Nikki! Blessings for your journey together!Ī post shared by Jio tattoo on at 10:35am PDT This design was inspired by the Myth of Aristophanes, a fun story that says that human beings used to be whole, complete and that they have been cut into two halves and since then have been longing and seeking for the other half to again find completeness. The intricate wrap-around pieces were freehanded by Kaye (which means she drew the designs directly onto the skin without using stencils) and are meant to intertwine when the couple hold hands. #foliagetattoo #freehandtattoo #matchingtattoos #coupletattoos #delicatetattoo #blackandgreytattoo #blackandwhitetattoo #lineworktattoo #finelinetattoo #fineline #singleneedle #singleneedletattoo #tattooing #tattoo #design #art #nztattoo #nztattooartist #femaletattooartistĪ post shared by Nicole Scott on at 3:14pm PSTĭone by single needle tattoo artist Nicole Kaye, these fine line botanical tattoos were designed for a couple who chose to get inked in celebration of their 20 year wedding anniversary.
