One Continuous Line Tattoos By Iranian-German Artist Mo Ganji

German-Iranian tattoo artist Mo Ganji wants to create simple images with a strong impact. Born in Iran but based out of Berlin, Ganji believes that it’s easier to “add and add” than to use limited tools to create something basic. This philosophy results in tattoos that appear to be just one line, and may also have something to do with his outlook on the world.

“My [former] career was based on values I don’t believe in,” Ganji told Tattrx. “A lot of people are in a similar situation, but nowadays … they’d rather live a “safe” life with a “safe” income and they are willing to sell their beliefs and their freedom for it…Painting, drawing and Tattooing gives me inner peace, because it feels natural to me. I need that peace, because it feels like the older I get, the sicker I get of the world around me.”

“And once you realize it, there are two ways of dealing with it. Either you care, or you don’t”

I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.

What you say is true, but not all of us have the ability, the nous, intelligence or talents that are required to make differences outside of our own experience. And the later in life it's realized compounds the difficulties. Aside from clearly being a talented tattoo artist, explain how you are using this to make a difference? Appreciated

I love his tattoos and I love that he gave up his career to do something he loves and believes in. But I feel like he is too judgemental. :/

It's a different way to look at things. I love his attitude and I would get a tattoo by him. He really has to think about the drawing long before it goes on the body. So very unique!! Love it.
