Another blackwork flash I recently did. I try to combine dark art with japanese influence in my art. The shading you get through dots is almost 3D. You can't get that kind of shading with any other method and this is what I truly enjoy while doing this. Would love to tattoo this.
It came out pretty good, the tentacles look awesome.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. Most of the times these designs and patterns that are found in nature are perfectly symmetrical. So the design doesn't get too dark.
Very cool. What is Blackwork Flash? It looks like ink. ~Really love it, Cheers
Thank you I really appreaciate it! Blackwork is originally derived from the original tribal tattoos, made of thick and bold black lines in a variety of geometric shapes. But artists continue to upgrade this genre to new levels, incorporating patterns and imagery derived from all sorts of sources into mesmerizing pieces swirling in different forms around the body.
Blackwork is pushing dotwork and linework to their extreme, with massive black tint areas, complex geometrical and symmetrical patterns influenced by Polynesian tattoos and graphic art. It focuses on the design, mostly ornamental, rather than the meaning or realism. From minimal to extremely intricate, blackwork tattoos are standing out.
Flash art are common designs, usually drawn on paper or cardboard and displayed prominently on the walls or in binders in some tattoo shops. The selection at tattoo studios can be quite mesmerizing.
Tattoo flash art comes in all sizes, but is typically found on 11x14 inch prints. Wearing your own idea is a very personal statement. You should have some idea what you want whether it is custom or a flash design.
