Artist Profile: Samara Lubbe- Skin Deep Ink

Blessed, This post is to highlight one of the best tattoo artists to bless Gabs city with her ink, Samara Lubbe of Skin Deep Ink. Lubbe is almost as eye-catching as her work and stands out as one of the best tattoo artists in Gaborone as far as I'm concerned. Her background in Fine Art definitely translates into her tattoo art with crazy attention to details like fine outlines, texture and shading. I can't imagine how brave one would have to be to leave a permanent mark on someone else's body, to me this makes tattooing one of the most daring and intimate art forms out there. Tattooes are a very personal, unique form of self-expression and can tell you a lot about a person just by looking at them. This series of photos documents part of the journey involved in bringing a tattoo to life, and this is the first tattoo completely designed by Lubbe herself. Maybe I might get a Faith In A Jar inspired tat sometime!

Samara is so talented! She's one of the most unique alumni Maru-a-Pula has. I wish her the best of luck with her future endeavours.

And your blog is amazing, Neo. Love the photography and as a fellow photo-enthusiast, I wish you the best, too.
