The artist MC Escher was born Maurits Cornelis Escher in 1898 in Holland. He was a graphic artist whose art work was influenced by geometry, perspective and visual illusions. His designs were popular during his day, but have become famous over time, winning the artist international notoriety.<\/strong><\/p>\n Although Escher didn’t intend for his designs to be used in tattoo art, his illusion art works have become popular choices for tattoo designs. Many of Escher’s art works were created using woodcuts, a form of printing. The artist carves away wood \u00a0from the surface of a woodblock to create an inverse image. Ink is then applied to the woodcut and paper is pressed against the design, leaving the image on the paper.<\/p>\nMC Escher’s Twisted and Trippy Tattoo Designs<\/h1>\n
