Tattoos take more skill in many aspects, cant wipe a tattoo off the skin or erase it if you mess it up. To be able to make such fantastic looking pieces with a needle machine and ink is incredible. Tattoos as artwork will always have more of an impact on someone than a painting or anything as they are personal additions to the body. They become a part of your body thats as natural as your skin and each an idea from your own mind (if you design your own).
