Daily fix for all the art history lovers on tumblr.
Histoire is simply the French word for history, but it also has the dual meaning of story. That's what art is. The history of our human story.

I got my very first tattoo on my birthday, 4/15/94, which is also the same day and month that Leonardo Dav Vinci (the artist of this beautiful piece) was born. It’s perfect because I do so much with human proportioning in artwork. He was also a Renaissance man, and I’ve been going to fair since I was a little seamonkey in my mother. And for those 3 reasons I found that this was the perfect fit for me.
I got this at the sister store of Temple Tattoo, 13 Tattoo on Telegraph in Oakland/Berkeley. My artist was Dan Gilsdorf.
