Traditional Tea Set Tattoo

Traditional Tea Set Tattoo

This tea set tattoo is no ordinary art depicting the steps of savoring tea but it is actually a traditional work or as one can say a very informative piece of body art, as the words ‘Human’, ‘Yixing’ and ‘Tea’ etched on the back, all hint to the origin of tea. According to the records, tea originated in the Sichuan provinces of China and the Chinese hold the earliest records of tea drinking. Particularly, the word ‘Yixing’ envelopes the crux of this tea set tattoo for it is a well known city in China known for its Yixing clay and artistry in teaware. One can notice that the teapot and the cup imprinted are the traditional tea ware of savoring tea. I’m sure the guy is certainly a hard core tea lover both inherently and superficially. Nice work indeed! Thanks Sylvie LS
