Tagoo - Traditional pattern innovation for tattoo lovers
Context
I am a designer and traditional culture enthusiast, and I want to design and transfer traditional culture into a modern context. Three years ago, I started learning and researching Chinese culture, which is also my national heritage. I learned quite a bit through interviewing traditional artists and learning to make and draw the traditional art. Using my professional design knowledge, combined with traditional Chinese culture art, I created these tattoo designs.
Design Inspiration
I have been learning traditional Chinese New Year painting for many years. In my learning process, I found there are lots of symbols in traditional painting to express specific meanings. For example, the peach, in traditional culture, means health and longevity. Interested in these symbols, I started to study and collect all the symbols in traditional Chinese New Year paintings, with the ultimate goal of classifying and redesigning them. I combined them together using our blessing words (all words about best wishes).
Temporary tattoo
These patterns all have their own style. Each tattoo sticker will include several different patterns. If you like Chinese traditional culture patterns, this is a good time for you to pledge! I will give you a temporary tattoo, accompanied with a description, so you can know the meaning behind the pattern.
This is my Kickstarter project. If you like it and want to have it, please share and back it!!!!
