This article originally appeared on VICE Germany It's safe to assume you wouldn't blindly trust a friend to tattoo anything they wanted on your skin, let alone allow a complete stranger to do the same.

This Tattoo Artist Inks Whatever He Wants on His Clients

But somehow, tattoo artist Monty Richthofen has convinced hundreds of people to do just that. Under the name Maison Hefner, the 23-year-old from Munich tattoos willing adults with motivational quotes and mantras without telling them what it'll be beforehand. Richthofen's project, "My Words, Your Body", started in 2017, though he worked as a regular tattoo artist for a year-and-a-half before that. Incredible Photo of the Solar System Photographed from a Man's Backyard. Teacher Crafts Solar System Quilt to Use in Her Astronomy Class. For many teachers, their job is more than just covering the syllabus—they often go beyond the basic requirements, dedicating time and energy to inspire their pupils as much as possible.

Teacher Crafts Solar System Quilt to Use in Her Astronomy Class

One teacher of this caliber of commitment to education was Ellen Harding Baker, an American astronomer from the 19th century who is famous for one particularly crafty education method. She is rumored to have spent 7 years embroidering the entire solar system onto a quilt, which she then used as a visual aid during her lectures. Completed in 1876, the large, 89 × 106 inch Solar System Quilt was made from black woolen fabric and embellished with colorful wool-fabric appliqué, wool braid, as well as wool and silk embroidery. Similar to the solar system illustrations in astronomy books of the time, it features the sun at the center, the eight planets of our solar system, as well as the asteroid belt and a myriad of stitched stars.

He practically became their town mascot, reminding passersby to take it easy and find time to relax. Photographer Captures the Mystical Beauty of Icelandic Horses. Photographer Drew Doggett is known for traveling the world, capturing extraordinary landscapes, people, and cultures. One of his most enchanting series to date, titled In the Realm of Legends, captures the one-of-a-kind beauty of Icelandic horses, who majestically roam the surrounding territory.

Though many opt to capture the stunning landscapes that Iceland has to offer, Doggett takes it one step further by also embracing its unique equestrian population to create a union of myth and fantasy that's almost too good to be true. During his time in Iceland, Doggett stayed on a farm with hundreds of horses. He was initially drawn to the enchanted landscape by tales of folklore. Such takes included the famous, eight-legged Icelandic horse named Sleipnir who is believed to be the spirit animal of the mythological god, Odin. Amazing Winners of 2018 Siena International Photo Awards. Poland in the 80's Through the Lens of French/Swiss Photographer Bruno Barbey. Spectacular Aerial Photography Looks Just Like Abstract Paintings. While many of the world’s natural landscapes can be appreciated on foot, award-winning photographer Stas Bartnikas takes to the skies to capture their beauty from above.

Spectacular Aerial Photography Looks Just Like Abstract Paintings

The Moscow-based photographer’s spectacular portfolio of aerial photography highlights the magnificent abstract patterns found in nature—a style he calls “aero-art.” While drone photography allows today’s photographers to capture the world from new heights, Bartnikas values the old-school tradition of flying in small planes and helicopters to look down and take the photographs with his camera in hand. His portfolio showcases the world from a different perspective, revealing the incredible patterns, shapes, and colors of Mother Nature. “Regular travelers are able to see only so much of the amazing places they travel to, whereas aerial photography allows us to see places that are inaccessible on foot,” Bartnikas tells My Modern Met. Bartnikas’ favorite place to shoot from above is the vast Icelandic landscape.

Mesmerizing Translucent Waves from 19th Century Paintings. The late 19th century Armenian-Russian painter Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky created some truly spectacular paintings of seascapes that capture the beautiful, shimmering essence of the tumultuous waters.

The marine artist gained recognition for his impeccable ability to recreate the expressive quality of oceans with over half of his 6,000+ paintings from his lifetime being devoted to the subject. What separates Aivazovsky's seascape paintings from others is his ability to replicate both the intensity and motion as well as the translucency and texture. His energetic waves and calm ripples are equally effective. Aivazovsky also plays with colors, simulating the effects of sunlight filtering through the waters to present an ethereal quality that imitates a sort of magical realism. There's something absolutely stunning about the painter's ability to skillfully emulate the emotional connection to the coastal scenes that translates centuries later.
