]]>“In both fields I am working with a client who wants something very specific, and I need to be able to take their ideas and improve on them in a way that both fulfills their requirements and my own artistic vision,” Wiedemann shared in an interview with Female Tattooers. “Usually, the most difficult part of my job in both fields is frequently being asked to draw something that has been done countless times over and try to make it unique.”
Inspiration for both practices comes from anatomical museums around the world. Wiedemann admits she was especially drawn to the centuries-old wooden cabinets that hold life-sized wax anatomical models in La Specola in Florence, Italy.
Her work, whether on paper or skin, has a gothic edge to it, which is well intended. The overall aesthetic might appeal to illustration lovers and emo kids alike. The main themes include insects, skulls, the human body, and mythical beings.
“I am fortunate enough to have two careers that I love, which have ultimately merged together,” says Wiedemann. “I can use tattooing as the medium for my love of scientific imagery. It is such an honor—not only to be taught how to tattoo—but also having the trust of my clients who will wear my art on their bodies for the rest of their lives.”

]]>While a palm-sized tattoo usually takes between 1-2 hours, a hand-sized one takes 3 hours, and back pieces can vary from 22 to even 40 hours depending on the size, detail, and coverage.
“When clients come in, I already have a good idea of what they want, because at that point we’ll have already emailed or talked about it over the phone,” said Bouma in an interview with The Great Discontent, talking about the tattooing process. “Then I draw up the design and get the A-OK from the client before making a stencil. Once the stencil is made, I put it onto the person’s skin, and we decide on a placement that they like. Then we make it happen.”
According to her, the setup is clean and sterile, much like it is with a machine, except for the tools she’s using. But as her method of choice is considered more avant-garde, so was her training. Practicing first on her friends, she started out by working out of a private loft space in her friends’ apartment. “I was doing it on the down-low, and I was on edge because it wasn’t an official shop,” she said.
Now, with more than 100k followers on Instagram, she doesn’t need to keep a low profile any longer.

Karabudak uses incredibly thin lines and small details to create her miniature pieces that range from famous painters’ interpretations to portraits of pets. She’s especially good at creating evening skies and deep waters and we’re in awe with each new painting we see.
The artist has over 630,000 followers on Instagram, so it’s no wonder she’s typically booked for months in advance. If you want to see more of her work, visit her Instagram page where she regularly posts new work.

]]>The Michigan-based cosmetic tattoo artist uses cosmetic tattooing to apply natural looking freckles in the shape of astrology signs constellations. “It’s a cute, personal, secret way to connect your sign and the universe to your body,” Knapik told Dazed & Confused Magazine.
“I’m super into metaphysical things; astrology, crystals, setting your intentions, and I’ve been getting more into tarot,” she admitted. “Really all of it relies on moon phases, seasons, planet position, and kind of thanking the universe for the things you already have, while also asking for things you may need in your life. So around the end of 2017, late one night AstroFrecks popped into my head.”
To her surprise, the trend quickly caught on. “Truth be told, I thought for sure I would post my first AstroFrecks picture on Instagram and a bigger artist with more followers would snatch it up and copy it, and I’d be left in the dust. But by some interweb miracle Bustle found it in under 24 hours. The day after that it was in Cosmo Australia.”
“All my clients are so diverse,” she said. “A lot of people love the astrology aspect, but I also get a lot of girls who want freckles because their moms or grandmas have them and they find them so beautiful but they naturally just never got them.”
Would you dare rock this trend?
Another example of how my clients are constantly testing the boundary of how friggin’ cute a human is allowed to be.

]]>The finished product is often surrealist – a horse wearing heels, flowers and vases with faces, a butterfly with human legs. Whatever the case is, her creations are unique and playful, verging on the absurd. “My drawings are never too serious or boring,” she told femtastics. “At least I hope so. I would call my style surrealistic.”
“I like to paint vases or hands,” she added. “Basically, I try to combine different, mostly contradictory things in one picture. That result is always exciting. But faces are my absolute favorite motif.”
Take a look at some of our favorite tattoos of hers, and be sure to follow her Instagram for more inspiration.

]]>Ever since she was a little girl, Fernandes loved to draw, but the fact is, she’s not particularly good at it. Three years ago, she did her first tattoo for her boyfriend, just for fun. At first, her friends got interested in her work and later this hobby turned into a business. Apparently, people liked her unique drawings.
“I think people like my style because of how cute and funny it is. But it’s a number of things. People don’t just like my designs, they also like my pictures, captions and stories on Instagram. Stories that explain my tattoos and help them relate to them. A tattoo is something very personal and I try to make the entire experience of getting it as nice as possible. I spend as much time on my customers as they need, we talk and develop ideas together.”
Now, Fernandes has her own tattoo shop in her native city of Salvador de Bahia. It’s called Malfeitona – in Portuguese, this means “badly done”.
Take a look at this girl’s work – is it really that bad?

]]>Her minimalist geometric tattoos, drawn using black ink only, spread across chests, arms, and legs, turning the human body in front of her to something otherworldly.
“When you’re drawing things straight onto the body, they have another magical quality to them that is often lost,” she explained in an interview with GQ.
To create her works, Roxx looks to the structure of leaves and shells. Specifically, “The repeating patterns and the geometry,” she explained, “the stuff that’s always fascinated mystics and philosophers and shamans.”
Check some of her work below.

]]>Using strategic positioning and understanding of optical illusions, Hillik created a clever way to combine two amazing designs into one incredible tattoo. He inks shape-shifting creatures that transform as the body moves. The crucial part of his design is hidden in the folds of legs and arms. You will only see the full image of his body art once you see it in action.
Working in a freehand manner, Hillik draws directly on the skin, allowing him to change things on the fly, which is integral in creating a realistic illusion. When his client’s arm or leg is folded, the ink appears to be a single object. But when the body is stretched out, it suddenly changes into something, like in the case of his insect tattoos, you can see the creatures spread their wings and it’s beautiful!
