Inking Arabic Calligraphy on Skin
New York-based tattoo artist Noore Yazigi is making waves with her designs that intertwine cultural and political themes. Her tattoos often feature Arabic calligraphy, drawing inspiration from significant literary works, including the poignant lines of late Palestinian poet Refaat Alareer’s poem If I Must Die.
Yazigi's art serves as a form of expression and resistance, as she incorporates powerful messages into her tattoo designs. One standout piece creatively weaves Alareer’s poetry into the outline of a watermelon, symbolizing resilience and cultural identity.
