A realism tattoo can look technically perfect and still feel flat, so we’re chasing a tougher question: what makes black and gray realism actually feel alive? That’s where Holytomo comes in. He’s a tattoo artist based in
A great geometric tattoo doesn’t just look clean in a photo, it has to move with the person wearing it. We’re spotlighting Mitch Koch from Sleepy Reaper Tattoo in Madison, Wisconsin, and the reason his large scale blackw
You can learn every needle grouping and still make flat tattoos if your composition is weak. That’s where Tattoo Mel (Maksim Melnik) gets brutally honest, and it’s why his black and gray realism tattoos hit like still fr
Street art doesn’t have to stay on brick walls. We’re putting a spotlight on Igor Mitrenga, a New York-based tattoo artist known for graffiti realism and black and gray realism, and we talk through what makes his work fe
Blackwork can be loud, heavy, and flat, or it can feel like it belongs to the body the way muscle and movement do. We’re spotlighting Dino, a tattoo artist working out of France, because his work hits that rare balance:
Stencil-free tattoos usually sound like a gamble, but Igor’s work makes it feel like the safest bet in the room. We put a spotlight on Igor, a Russian-based tattoo artist working out of Düsseldorf, Germany, whose freehan
A tattoo can be art, identity, and memory, but it is also a design problem that has to live on a moving body for decades. We sit down with Roberto “Mr. Nobody,” an Italian tattoo artist now working at Seven Tattoo Studio
A portrait can be beautiful and still feel flat, so we went looking for the kind of art that pushes back. I’m talking about Pascal, a Germany-based tattoo artist and painter who works in a style he calls dark fragmented
A back piece can look like ink, or it can look like a scene you’d find on a cathedral wall. We get into why Italian tattoo artist Andrea Pellerone’s work lands in that second category, blending fine line micro-realism wi
Her tattoos don’t just look realistic, they look alive. We’re talking about Lu Li, better known as Victoria Lee (@VictoriaLeeTattoo), a Beijing, China tattoo artist whose photorealism and black and gray realism pieces fe
You can hear it when someone chooses tattooing because they need it, not because it looks cool. Ilya Cascad moved from Russia to the US, landed in Las Vegas two weeks before COVID, and still found a way to build Ornament
A great Japanese traditional tattoo doesn’t just look powerful, it’s engineered to fit your body and your future plans. We’re shining a light on Yoichi Tanaka, a Japanese tattoo artist known for custom irezumi, bold line
A tattoo that looks like an embroidered patch shouldn’t work, but somehow it does and once you see it, you can’t unsee it. We’re talking about Vini Moschen, a Brazil-based tattoo artist whose embroidery patch realism mak
A lot of “abstract” tattoos look random up close or muddy from a distance. Peste (Sebastiano) is the opposite. He’s an Italian-born, Melbourne-based tattoo artist whose freehand abstract blackwork stays bold, readable, a
A lot of people see a polished Instagram tattoo and assume it started as a clean Pinterest image and ended as a quick session. The truth is messier, harder, and way more interesting. We’re joined by Sergey Shanko, co-own
Film icons brought to life in ink that looks like it’s stepping off the skin—that’s the magic we explore as we spotlight Kai, aka the artist DJT Tattoo in China. We share why his hyper color realism stops us mid-scroll a
Pick a side, but make it permanent. We kick off with the eternal Marvel vs DC debate, own up to our Batman exception, and then dive headfirst into the art of turning fandom into living, breathing tattoo stories. Our focu
Tattoos that make you forget you’re looking at skin—that’s the level we’re talking about. We take you inside the world of Silvano Fiato, the Genoa-based hyper-realism artist now recognized by Rome’s Museum of Contemporar
You can feel when an artist is consumed by the work—in the quiet decisions no one notices and the way a healed tattoo still turns heads a year later. That’s Daniel Rocha, Vegas-born owner of Seven Tattoo, whose path from
