As if drawings applied straight to the skin, illustrative tattoos often use linework as the main design element. Whether inspired by antique etchings, woodblocks, or simple sketches, Illustrative style tattoos look like pencil or pen has been used to create the piece.

Freehand Full back tattoo featuring a kraken, ship and a little moon face blowing a storm around.  Most of the tattoo is healed and settled over a year (thanks, global pandemic).  We were finally able to finish up coloring the sails after the client and I were both vaccinated.
