Why the name “Graffiti Girls�?
I named this project “Graffiti Girls†because of the art form of Graffiti. This art form is an expression of some ones personality and skill. It’s in your face, colourful, and very unique. All graffiti is different from one to the other. I say this because when you look at one artist to another they differ from the way they draw their lettering, to the colours that are used. Tattoos’ are the same way, some tattoos’ are colourful, while others take to a more simple approach. This can also be seen in piercing’s. From the placement of the piercing can show something just as differing as tattoos.
Now if you can connect the dots, then the name becomes more idealistic. These girls are all unique in their own way, from their tattoo’s to their style, they are all unique. These girls are in your face, colourful, and most importantly has one hell of a personality. This coupled with some beautiful tattooing and piercing’s could make for a different experience you have your true to life Graffiti Girl.
So your question is, why do this project? A lot of women out there who would love to be more expressive, have more confidence of who they are and what they have to show. I believe this would be an excellent outlet for them to do so. Another reason is I want to showcase women in the Niagara Region, bring some light to the world of tattoos in Niagara. Also to show that tattoos should be more acceptable in society. Hopefully one day we could see more tattooed and pierced models along sides ones that aren’t in the world of modelling.
This project will be shown in three mediums. The first will be to host a small website that will allow the models to market them selves as models, as well as allow them to market anything they may do. This will allow them to showcase things such as art work, music, and fashions. Also allow them to talk to people and tell them there ideas and thoughts on specific things. Secondly there will be a calendar, showing off women and their various tattoo’s and piercing’s, that they have adorned through the years. To also put emphasis on the tattoo’s and piercing that the models have. This would be achieved by showing thumbnails aside from the main image showing each or a number of tattoo’s and piercing the model has. Third and finally are posters, larger images allow for better definition on larger objects, so smaller tattoos can been seen easier and larger tattoos can be seen more clearly.
In conclusion this project I hope to achieve changing the standards of beauty. Showing that a woman with self confidence that matches no other are beautiful even with tattoos. I find that truly one of the sexiest things out there, and also very appealing. As well to give women a chance to be modelled that couldn’t before because they were discriminated against, just ’cause they do have tattoos and piercing’s. Every woman is beautiful tattoos or not, and it’s about time we gave them a bit more spotlight.
