Talented artists don’t need more than a single line to create an impressive work of art. That’s certainly the case with tattoo artist Mo Ganji.
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.
