Tattoo is a specific form of art, and what is meaningful to one person is a complete crap to another. I drew a tribal tattoo for a girl that wanted a similar tat to the one her father used to have, it may be considered a bad taste or a lack of imagination to have a tribal tat, but to her, that particular one was done on the anniversary of her father death and meant to her more than anything.
I also know a guy, full of tattoos, one of my best customers. I drew more than 30 designs for him. There is a catch, he is just a collector, hipster HC dude that has more money than he needs and collects beautiful, artistic tattoos on his skin, much like I collect fantasy books on my shelf. A person would think that those beautiful and unique tats have a meaning, but they have none what so ever...
