Lemon lime tattoo

Adding one and one doesn't always equal two. Sometimes the thing becomes less than two, and other times it is much more than just two. In other words, sometimes the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The latter case is true to Hakan Adik, who adds motifs of famous paintings and popular characters to create his own unique style of tattoos.

You know the saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover?” The same rule can be changed into “Don’t judge a person by its ink.” Getting some body art inked is probably one of the best ways for self-expression—be it a drawing in remembrance of your past beliefs, shenanigans or a minimal tattoo filled with deep meanings. No tattoo design is meaningless or ugly because there’s always something bigger behind it. At least to the person who chose the unique tattoo.

We know the feeling: You’d like to get your first tattoo but are scared to make the leap. You have questions about how to pick a good design and what subject to choose, and you’re nervous about the commitment and wonder if you’ll ever regret getting one. In these cases, you can’t go wrong with a minimalist tattoo!
