Everybody we've seen on this list so far has been a singer, an actor, or Kim Kardashian. Here's an entry from a completely different theater of the arts; Frida Kahlo. The Mexican artist was famous for her portraits; both of herself and of others. She was a trailblazer of her time, pushing boundaries for women in the arts, and today she's revered as an icon both of feminists and of the LGBTQ community. A constant theme of her art was the idea of giving a voice to the voiceless. Her skill made her an artist, but her beliefs made her a hero.
What better way is there to pay tribute to a great artist than to commission some art of your own? Fortunately, Kahlo painted so many self-portraits that there were plenty to draw inspiration from. It also makes the work of the tattoo artist easier if they're copying a drawing of a person rather than a photo of the real person; it means they don't have to worry about being photo-realistic with their own work!
