The Coolest Tattoos...


I stumbled upon this article while procrastinating doing this project and studying for other tests (but how fitting, right?). But I thought it was really cool and a great representation of a few of the different styles of art that are done as tattoos! Enjoy the pictures, and I've posted links to the websites of the artists and also the source from which I found them. 
Amanda Wachob's, from Brooklyn, New York, tattoo designs look incredibly like paintings, for more of her work, visit this site: http://www.amandawachob.com 

From Germany, Chaim Machlev's tattoos are often called Dots to Lines, and are very intricate geometric patterns. http://www.dotstolines.com/tattoos

From Portland, Oregon, Alice Carrier's work is known to be especially vintage and usually has to do with nature. http://www.alicecarrier.com

Ian Levin works only with black ink, and his tattoos are known to be intricate and interesting. http://www.pinterest.com/ak478025/ien-levin/

David Hale's tattoos are considered to be inspired by folk-art. http://davidhale.org

Traveling artist Kenji Alucky uses a method called stippling, which are intricate and tiny dots to make the tattoos. https://www.facebook.com/blackinkpower 

Marcin Aleksander uses vivid colors to product surrealist art. https://www.facebook.com/rawtattoo 

Berlin's Madame Chan does many different styles, including these chimerical tattoos. 

Mariusz Trubisz from Poland specializes in shading tattoos, often coming up with neon colors. https://www.facebook.com/mariusztrubisz

Ondrash specializes in watercolor tattoos, which are incredibly popular these days. https://www.facebook.com/ondrashtattoo

Sasha Unisex's tattoos involve unexpected prisms of color. http://instagram.com/sashaunisex

Peter is incredibly talented at a wide variety of styles; some shown are watercolor, cubism, or shaded drawings. http://peteraurisch.com

This tattoo artist's work is often described as a unique photoshop aesthetic. http://www.pinterest.com/dnisan/tattoos-xoil-france/

There you have it! I hope you enjoy looking at these pictures, and definitely check our their websites. It's incredible to see the kind of talent these artists and and how precise they can be when making the tiniest dots and lines on people's skins! Always remind yourself that they're working with living, breathing, moving canvases--something that cannot be easy! I have so much respect for tattoo artists after looking extra into this project and their communities in general.
