It's an eyecatcher! This tattoo focuses on a big contrast between the black and grey part of th tattoo and the bright red colourfull one. It makes for an interesting visual focal point, and your eye gets instantly drawn to it.

Minis!

Here we have a few mini tattoos. Tiny but important. Some tattoos have it, and some don't, which we are referring to are meanings behind the Tattoo. What we have experienced after the last few years is, that most of the time the small tattoos, tend to be those with meaning behind of them. Of course this is not the rule but most of the time a little script or even a little paw print let us remind us of something we love or want to achieve in our life. Therefore, it is not necessary to go big, only because it means a lot to you, not to say going big isn't the way.

Black and gray peonies

This tattoo on the upper arm was a partner-tattoo with the rose on the calf. You can look up the picture if you type in the name "Artistic rose in a rough sketchy style". Both are stunning but while the other one succeeds in creativity, this one takes the win for immense prettiness! If you think about a peonie you think about its beautiful softness and delicateness. Everything got captured perfectly in the black and gray tattoo. The fine outlines and the soft shading let this tattoo stand out. Also, look at all that detail inside the flower... Stunning!

Artistic rose in a rough sketchy style

Big rose on the calf, but theres more to point out! The triangle in the background takes care of the contrast and therefore is the reason the rose pops out of the frame. The sketchy or carved style is going through the whole tattoo and is meanwhile more present than ever before. Since one rose alone couldn't fill this triangle, Luca added some leaves, a few on the upper part and a lot on the lower region of the tattoo, they fill the picture and round it all up. A big and stylish approach to one of the most iconic tattoo motives.

Ravens are symbolic for all kinds of stuff. This one is symbolic as a prime example for the neotraditional art direction seen in tattoos.

The red flowers on the arm have the same saturation as the moon to create an all around cohesive masterpiece. Great work by our tattoo artist Luca Romeo.
