Existentialism tattoo

How rare and beautiful it is to even exist

Ex Nihilo explores the parallels between the philosophy of existential nihilism and minimalist graphic design. This essay briefly surveys existential nihilist philosophy before examining how this philosophy can be applied to designed work. This is not only explained through research, but through analyses of professional work from graphic designers. In addition, an interview with graphic designer Michael Dyer is also documented to further strengthen the arguments made in this essay.

You know the saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover?” The same rule can be changed into “Don’t judge a person by its ink.” Getting some body art inked is probably one of the best ways for self-expression—be it a drawing in remembrance of your past beliefs, shenanigans or a minimal tattoo filled with deep meanings. No tattoo design is meaningless or ugly because there’s always something bigger behind it. At least to the person who chose the unique tattoo.
