I like this doodle, it is a bit more organic than my usual Collection of Medallions type doodle. The whole thing revolves around the central medallion.
There is something about this doodle that reminds me of a tatoo from the South Pacific. I am going to have to do some research on this, a quick google search leads me to tatoo galleries, but not the kind of historical documentation of tribal tatoos that I am looking for.
This is a Maori facial tatoo from the 1800's.
I have breezed through a couple of tatoo galleries, but they are not really what I had in mind. Mostly it is people selling downloadable designs for you to have tatooed.
I don't have any tatoos and don't want one. I do like them as art though. Many of my doodles would fit right in.
It does make me wonder if that is what most of the hits on my blog are from people looking for tatoo designs. Could that really be it?
I took another stab at a search and came up with this, which claims to be the world's largest on line tatoo museum. This seems more like what I was after.
