]]>Ganji, who is based in Berlin, Germany, specializes in single-line tattoos. He creates both minimalistic and complex tattoo designs, but what they all have in common is that they are made without breaks. His works range from simple geometrical shapes to portraits, animals, and even landscapes.
“Everything here comes from the same energy. If I die, I become a tree, and the bird eats the tree, and it becomes me. Everyone is one. One continuous energy that just goes and goes and goes,” Ganji explained his decision to focus on single-line tattoos in an interview with The Washington Post.
Besides a unique approach to tattooing, Ganji also has an interesting way of coming up with tattoo designs. He first creates a drawing in a single motion on a piece of paper without even looking. Only after it’s done he looks at the paper and refines it into its final form.
Ganji, who quit a career in retail to become a tattoo artist, works out of his studio in Berlin. However, his clients come from all corners of the world, with some people willing to get his tattoo designs even if he isn’t the one doing the actual tattooing. Check out more of his works below to see why.

]]>“The simplicity is the best part,” she reflected in an interview with Acclaim Magazine. “It’s also primitive.” According to Bouma, she finds the fact that people were, and still are, willing to endure pain for pleasure attractive. “There’s satisfaction in laying something so permanent into a person’s skin by means of a tactful hand, and their willingness to put up with the pain in order the receive something they really want,” she says. “I’m humbled by that. Even more so humbled that friends and strangers want me to do it.”
@boldandbrighttattooparlorOriginally from Edmonton, Canada, Bouma travels full time internationally and is based part-time in NYC, at East River Tattoo in Brooklyn. According to her website, she usually only tattoos black and grey pieces but is open to experimentation with color under the right circumstances. Palm-sized tattoos usually take between 1-2 hours to complete, while hand-sized take about 3 hours. Back pieces, on the other hand, vary from 22- 40 hours depending on back size, detail, and coverage.
“Bold and straight thick lines are pretty integral to what I do,” says Bouma. “I’m not interested in thin lines or a messy job, and neither are the people who want me to tattoo them. I know what I can pull off, and 99% of those tattoos look best if they’re solidly lined, and produced in a solid shop or studio. No messy home jobs.”

]]>The post Tati Compton’s Tattoos Have a DIY Feel to Them appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>Her obsession turned into her vocation once she started exploring the art of tattooing. Symbolically enough, her first time tattooing someone else was also the first time she got a tattoo herself. “It was with my friend Moses at his house and we were listening to Metallica, we gave each other matching dots on our fingers and wrist,” Compton says.
︎Thanks Gabriella!After experimenting with “home-made” stick and poke tattooing in her early twenties, she developed her craft into a professional career. “I started doing tattoos on an impetus – for an experience or out of boredom or from a feeling and it didn’t really matter how it looked or turned out,” she admitted. “It was more about the act and experience. It was free – I didn’t have to ask anyone for anything – It was DIY, it was immediate, and it was fun. I don’t know how to use a machine, this is the only way I know how to tattoo.”
Her practice took her to Sang Bleu London, where she studied the art of hand-poking, and later to Los Angeles where she’s made quite a name for herself. So much so that she decided to assemble some of her favorite pieces into a book dedicated to her art.
But you can also follow her work on her Instagram page. Here are some highlights:

]]>“I would call my style essentially single black pen illustrations,” she said in an interview with All Day’s blog. “I taught myself how to draw and I feel that content is reflected in the different and more varied style of tattoos I produce.”
Her career spiraled thanks to tumblr, where she would post photos of her illustrations and tattoos. “From the positive feedback it got from everyone I started taking appointments and working from my home and studio spaces,” she recalled. “There’s a certain normalized order within the tattoo industry where you gotta first do an apprenticeship, learn all the different styles and then you get the chair and get to develop your own individual style. But this was different to me as I didn’t do an apprenticeship so my style simply developed from the beginning through my own inspiration, meaning rather than everyone walking around with the same designs, people get new and interesting designs, rather than just going to a standard studio, picking a design from the portfolio and ending up leaving with the ‘H & M of tattoos.'”
Rather than the bland “H&M tattoos”, Watson offers a unique take on the traditional art of tattooing, adding her own twist to it. And people seem to enjoy her work just the same, with more than 220k followers on Instagram alone. “I mainly draw my inspiration from my own experiences, beliefs, and development throughout my career,” she says. “The objects I chose to draw are everyday objects but with a slight stylistic or simplistic differences, making them eternal in a way as they never really go ‘out of fashion’ or become unpopular.”
Take a look for yourself.

]]>Whether it’s her fine line drawings or her large paintings on canvases, Olk represents women who seem to dream, enveloped in a certain melancholy. But her creations aren’t just limited to paper, and she’s also recognized in the world of tattooing.
“A paper or a canvas or a skin, are the same, it’s just different material,” she told Cortex. “I did my first tattoo on myself in high school with a needle and some random ink because I was in love with a stupid guy. Then I went to Nantes and met the best people, I was at school with Ivan he had a super scary tattoo machine, it took me a while before I tried, but once I started I followed him. I am now tattooing without a machine again. I really enjoy hand poked tattoos; I like the perfect imperfections, it’s effective.”
Trained in industrial design, Olk admits she has always been attracted to objects and composition with timeless beauty. Exhibited in France and the United States, her original creations are also shared on Instagram, where she has amassed more than 34k followers.
“I studied industrial design and I developed an interest for simple things, which are able to create emotion,” she says. “I am very attracted to pop art, mid XXth century graphics and the Renaissance period. It’s a long and slow journey, I am still researching and trying new techniques.”
Take a peek.

This megababe drove all the way from West Virginia & I didn’t want her to leave 
**frecks appear darker when fresh & heal looking natural, trolls be gone** • dm or email for appointments 
Michigan-based tattoo artist Jessica Knapik took the fake freckle trend one step further when she introduced what she calls AstroFrecks, giving a secret meaning to the seemingly random spots on your face. Knapik draws constellations on her clients’ faces with a marker, then injects the freckles wherever there’s a star. The freckles fade over time, and Knapik has different colored ink that can be used to match any skin tone.
“AstroFrecks is a fun technique I created to add a secret personal connection within faux freckle tattoos,” she told the Zensa blog. “A client can use their own zodiac constellation, or their Moms, Dads, dogs… anyone they want. After I lay down the structured constellation, I then go back in and do random frecks in other areas, so the constellation is hidden in plain sight on their face. They know where it is, but someone on the street would never notice.”
“I’ve done quite a few in the chest and shoulder area as well. And it doesn’t have to be specifically zodiac constellations either, I’ve had clients do other constellations they love or feel a connection to.”
“AstroFrecks just kind of came to me,” she admitted. “A way for people to make the experience more magical and personal, while keeping with my interests.” Onboard yet?
Email or dm for appts, I’m trying to squeeze everyone I can in before the holidays, I’m here to help!

Born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, raised in Haifa, and living and working in Tel-Aviv, Israel, Monis has been creating ceramic sets since graduating from Holon Institute of Technology in 2015.
Her unique take on the tried and tested tea set? Combining porcelain with Russian prison tattoos. Each of her ceramic pieces is designed, crafted and illustrated handmade, incorporating illustrations taken from photographs, personal stories, and the Soviet police prison files. And just like an original tattoo, each plate is a single edition.
“FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE connects the subversive art of Russian criminal tattoos with traditional blue porcelain design, uniting two opposed but equally important and influential strands of Russian art history,” reads her website.
Check out some of her creative designs in the gallery below.

]]>One such example is Berlin-based Chaim Machlev. His intricate work weaves dots and lines together in ways that create multiple dimensions on the two-D canvas that is your skin.
Machlev’s trippy geometric designs span across entire bodies. They are minimalist, providing the perfect geometric twist that contemporary art is heading towards, or has been constantly flirting with for the last century.
The ever-famous Joy Division cover album for “Unknown Pleasures,” that has been making rounds in the form of t-shirts across the world, comes to mind when we witness Machlev’s compositions of lines, slopes, and diagonals. Resounding the Berlin underground art scene, Machlev’s tattoo creations are the way to go for our next ink adventure.
