I’m getting a half sleeve based on my favorite book, Calvino’s Invisible Cities. I’m sure that many people on here are fans of it, but essentially it describes 55 fictional cities based on psychological concepts like memory and desire. I want to get a tattoo based on the city of Zobeide. Zobeide was created by a bunch of men who all had the same dream of a girl. They built a labyrinth-like city full of dead ends in an attempt to trap her, but she ultimately escaped. In the end, they were left with a fragmented “trap” of a city. Piranesi’s prisons are an obvious source of inspiration, but what am I missing? I also want it to look sexy so if there’s anything somewhat gothic or brutalist (in a sexy way) that fits the bill please let me know LOL. THANK YOU 🙏 submitted by /u/stellas15 |
