Warrior tattoo #womb, #vulva and #breasts2021
Artist statement: Warrior tattoo aims to honour the female identity and to respect possibilities of gender, in order to oppose the discrimination and limitation supported by patriarchy. It also combines the tattooing technique, an ancient method of conveying spirit and belief. I used a needle to tattoo female organs (womb, vulva and breasts) with a dark colour on an Asian woman’s portrait, which implies my race and female identity.
The damage made by a needle on the surface of the photographs is reminding viewers that gender issues are happening and keep making an impact in the real world. Women share their bravery while living in an unfair world and striving to improve inclusivity in societies. Women do have not only sisterhood but also warriorhood.

Also known as Giclee prints or bubble-jet prints, pigment ink-jet prints are generated by computer printers from digital or scanned files using dye-based or pigment-based inks. A series of nozzles spray tiny droplets of ink onto the paper surface in a precise pattern that corresponds to the digital image file. In dye-based prints the ink soaks into the paper, whereas in pigment-based prints the ink rests and dries on top of the paper surface.
Whilst the term is broad, pigment ink-jet prints have come to be associated with prints produced on fine art papers. They are the most versatile and archival method of printing available to photographers today. A wide variety of material on which an image can be printed with such inks are available, including various textures and finishes such as matte photo paper, watercolour paper, cotton canvas or pre-coated canvas.
