22 Mosaic skin

21 Blackwork eastern dragon

This dragon tattoo has a bold, slightly spooky vibe thanks to the heavy use of solid black ink.The artist paired that with a clever use of a little leftover negative space to really make the texture and details pop.

20 Tower on Ankle

This one is small in size but big in details . Everything from the tiny windows of Galata Tower to its reflection in the water shows how much thought and precision went into every line and shade of this masterpiece.

19 The coiled dragon

This is quite a difficult one to pull off. It goes over the knee and moving joints, which makes keeping it smooth and continuous a real challenge, but the artist nailed it.

18 The Queen’s Profile

17 The Cosmic Leg

16 The Blooming Busts

15 Dragon and the Samurai

The way two different scenes are merged together makes this tattoo look like one continuous adventure. From the dragon to Samurai by the waterfall, every detail is precise and adds to the story.

14 The Metamorphic Line

13 The Happy Slither

12 Aether & Decision

11 The Olympian Sleeve

10 Molecular Starburst & Swallows

9 The Archangel & Serpent

8 The Duality

7 Twin daggers

A dagger means protection, courage and a will to fight for what you believe in. The design of these twin daggers carries that meaning with every detail. Each one look sharp and purposeful , while the snake coiling the right one adds a sense of danger and elegance.

6 The Chains and Cherubs

4 The guardian angeli

3 Veni, Vidi, Vici

1 Please allow the chaos

This one plays brilliantly with anatomy, when stretched out, the text looks like it’s dripping and melting, but when the legs folds , it turns into a hypnotic spiral as if the words are being pulled inward. The words say ” Please allow the chaos” and the design does the perfect job of bringing the phrase to life.
