She began tattooing at Cinar Arts in Istanbul in 2012. After six years in Istanbul, she moved back to the United States to continue her tattooing career at two prominent New York City studios, White Rabbit and Fleur Noire. Emma is the co-owner of Painted Soul Arts, a tattoo studio in Montclair, NJ. Emma's style focuses mainly on fine line and watercolor techniques combined with geometric and figurative elements. Recently she has broadened this approach to include more abstract and freehand compositions. She sees tattooing as an important way to understand, develop, and illustrate the self, and draws major inspiration from literature, philosophy, and fine arts.To be tattooed is to be both defined and mysterious. It is also to admit\u003cbr\u003ethat we are works in progress. As beings who live and grow, we are in many\u003cbr\u003eways defined by a constant striving to be better. Our scars, chosen or not,\u003cbr\u003eare a record of our lives, our trials and tribulations, and what we have\u003cbr\u003eovercome to be who we are today. To alter the appearance of our own skin\u003cbr\u003eis an act of reclaiming agency over the bodies we occupy and their\u003cbr\u003eappearance to others. In an increasingly image-oriented world of digital\u003cbr\u003emass-reproduction, to be tattooed is a small act of rebellion. It is one of the\u003cbr\u003elast frontiers of personal adventure—a celebration of risk and diversity, of\u003cbr\u003eliving boldly and honestly.","brand":"Spruce Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46305201488101,"sku":"NP9781632173768","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781632173768.jpg?v=1767737812","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/tattoo-design-journal-isbn-9781632173768","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
