The Phenomenal Tomas Tomas

Amazing Tattoos by Tomas Tomas

This is without a doubt the most amazing body of work I’ve seen for a long time. The only way to describe the work of Tomas Tomas is completely original! To me, the reason his designs work so well is the juxtaposition of the strong, heavy yet elegant geometric shapes against their subtle shading. Tattoo art generally seems to shy away from geometry and straight lines in favour of more organic, flowing designs that complement body shapes, so it’s a real treat to see something so at odds with the usual approach working so well!

Von Glitschka Tattoo Design Process

This is a great post by one of my favourite artists. Although he’s not a tattoo artist, a lot of his designs are very tattoo inspired in their symmetry and iconic feel. This blog post shows the whole process from client brief through acquiring references to design and completion of the tattoo, which was a private commission. Very interesting post and a great design at the end of it!
