And what better way to celebrate Easter than with the coolest eggs ever?

These are by the celebrity Tattoo artist Scott Campbell who’s inked such illuminaries as Marc Jacobs, Helena Christensen and Penelope Cruz.

 Louisiana born Scott abandoned a career as a biochemist to follow his calling (you can just imagine what his parents thought..)

I love that he doesn’t consider skin his only artistic canvas – the street aesthetic of the Tattoo style works so brilliantly against the fragility of the ostrich egg.  The snakes and spiders feel like their about to hatch out and all the time there’s an on-going relationship between life and death.

 A lady..or a skull?

Refreshing to see talent respected for talent no matter what the roots.

  I find them utterly compelling.

Wishing you all a WONDERFUL Easter!

    wow! I think he was totally right to abandon his career as a biochemist. This is just splendid.

    Happy Easter to all your family and you.

    Wow, the lady or skull is soooo cool. All of them are 🙂 I used to work in the Institute of Biochemistry, for The Hungarian Academy of Sciences 🙂 Maybe I should also choose a new and exciting career. Happy Easter! xoxo Fanni

    How incredible! I’m willing to admit that I don’t think of tattoo artists as “real” artists in general so this sets me on my ear! There’s so much to see in every one of them!

      I hear you..he’s also done some other amazing Art that blows the mind..he reminds me of Banksy..taking something we want to scorn to new heights..as you say, eye opening xxx
