An academic model, a symbol of classical and institutional knowledge, reimagined through a resolutely contemporary gesture. Here, the tattoo challenges the conventions of this traditional piece and etches the wings of Hermes onto the plaster. A deliberate contrast between the rigour of the academic base and the freedom of a motif usually associated with the body and personal expression. The classic is thus imbued with a new energy, like an invitation to step outside established boundaries. “Aut inveniam viam aut faciam” I will find a way, or I will make one. A creation that celebrates movement, audacity and the desire to reinvent the great classics.
