Henna is a beautiful art method of placing designs on the skin. Perhaps some of the design work can serve as inspiration for your own tattoo. The scroll-work is so beautiful and you can really play with different designs. The lines can be thinner or thicker or a great combination of the two, as well [...]

This is a wonderful rendering of the Dali Elephant. Tattoo copies of well known art can really work when they are done right. It takes a certain amount of skill to be able to reproduce the lines and feel of another artists vision, and getting it to look right on the skin is no small [...]

Here is such a beutiful full back tattoo that has some very obvious characteristics to art of the 17th-18th century approximately. The man and womans bodies show such fine detail, and definition of the muscles. The shadowing of the ground around them and behind some of their legiments curves. The old trees next to them [...]

Here is another incredible sleeve by Jun Cha. This one was inspired by Virgin of the Rocks (also known sometimes as ‘Madonna of the Rocks’) which are paintings that were largely attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. As a great fan of sculpture, you can see how the tattoo artist here really understands what it takes [...]

Apparently, the song talks about balancing out your behavior, thinking with both your heart and your head while not allowing either one to really dominate. The client got this tattoo as a reminder of the song’s great message and [...]

As you can see, this tattoo is from East Tattoo in Taiwan. They have quite a staff of excellent, artistic, talented tattoo enthusiasts that are capable of quite a range of different and interesting designs. This particular tattoo of a wolf caught my eye because it is so different. The head of the wolf is [...]

The work on this Buddha face is so clean and smooth. It is interesting placement on the hand like that, with rays coming out and away from the head and face. The squiggly lines going down and onto the fingers is also a nice touch and continues the piece to it’s very end. Too bad [...]

This is a tattoo that was done on another tattoo artist. Ty McEwen, tattooing privately in Boise, Idaho is the application artist of this strawberry of bio organic color. This style seems to be a signature kind of style for Ty, as many of his pieces have a softer, blurred edge to them with a [...]
