The TikTok account @alexcaruana0 has captured the attention of viewers with a slideshow that unfolds the creation of an impressively patriotic Maltese tattoo.
The short video takes the audience through a step-by-step process, showcasing the inking of a homage to the Malta of yesteryears. As the slideshow progresses, viewers can see the transformation of an individual’s back into a canvas that pays tribute to a classic Maltese way of life.
The final image reveals a detailed back tattoo that features iconic symbols of Malta’s culture and history. Among these are Malta’s old traditional buses, depicted alongside a quaint bus stop and bus tickets. The Triton Fountain is also prominently featured, along with the Maltese Flag, which gives the idea of national pride to the tattoo.
Additionally, the old Valletta gate are intricately incorporated atop the design, paying homage to an old national landmark which is more “Malta in the 2000s” than almost anything else on our island.
What do you think of the tattoo?
