The Art of Less Is More with @lucidlines
To see more of Caitlin’s tattoo art, follow @lucidlines on Instagram.
“The science behind the process and the idea of being able to carry art around with you and transform your appearance has always intrigued me,” says 25-year-old tattoo artist Caitlin Thomas (@lucidlines). After studying graphic design, Caitlin went on to pursue illustration and the visual arts before taking an apprenticeship at a tattoo studio in Adelaide, South Australia.
“People may be surprised to learn that I only have a couple of tattoos,” she says. “Many people have the belief that all tattoo artists need to be covered, but I am trying to show that isn’t necessary anymore and that it is more about the art.”
Outside of her life as a tattoo artist, Caitlin is equally passionate about music, playing the drums in bands and writing music with friends. “Leading a double life has proven to be a tiring venture with a newfound respect for days off,” she muses. When applying for jobs, Caitlin showcased the drums she worked on with a wood-burning tool as an example of her steady line work.
Caitlin describes her style as “minimalism” and her technique is inspired by 18th and 19th century line engravings — the idea of grasping a concept or image using its basic form. “I am hoping to help create a new movement of tattooing that promotes the idea that less is more,” she says. “I do enjoy and respect the extremely detailed and colorful style of tattooing, but I just can’t deny the satisfaction of successfully portraying an image based only on line work, a single shade of ink and making use of the natural skin color that people bring in themselves.”
This guy in my art class forgot his paint brush so he just cut off a chunk of his hair and taped it to a pencil.
I feel like he has more commitment to fine art than I do.
Among the millions of blogs on Tumblr, only a small number are contributors of original content: “the world’s creators”
And if you’ve ever looked at Tumblr’s Explore Page you might notice that Photography is oddly absent.
There’s #design, #art, #architecture and even #artists on tumblr — but no mention of anything related to the art of taking pictures with a camera. Even #film is a trap — it’s for movies, not analog photography! We don’t think this situation is acceptable. So let’s Fight it.
We’d like to ask all original photographers on Tumblr to start putting the #photographers on tumblr tag on every single photo you post.
Photographers deserve more recognition among the Creators on Tumblr. Hopefully, by using this tag we’ll help the entire community of Tumblr photographers get noticed — and maybe one day we will see that tag on the Tumblr Explore page too.
Reblog this post and spread the word.
Sincerely,
Photographers on Tumblr

Being a photographer, myself. I highly agree.
guessss who hit 5,000 followers last night… i’m so happy to share this with you! not just this art, but all the comics, all my ideas, and to receive all your support in return
thank you to all the people who followed from day one. thank you to the people who leave a note on every other post, who share every comic. thank you to the people who talk to me; bringing friendship to my door, asking questions, offering ideas, and even leaving anonymous compliments which truly make my day. but also thank you to the people who just stopped by. thank you to those who have just joined us, and to those who quietly look on then scroll away.
every single one of you adds up to 5,000, and every single one of you is a reason to wake up each morning with a smile on my face. i hope i can continue to make art that you enjoy, and i hope that makes you happy, just as you all make me.
thank you
Or if you’d rather have Minecraft on your walls I also do mini Minecraft paintings! They are custom made so whatever you want I’ll paint….as long as it’ll fit on a 4 x 4 canvas :)
These are just some examples of what I’ve painted previously. Some were orders and some were just for fun.
