Colorful and Hallucinogenic Tattoos of Dane Nicklas

Dane Nicklas is a tattoo artist now working out from Valentine’s Tattoo in Seattle, a feminist-powered and inclusive space famous for its collection of wonderfully offbeat and experimental musicians. Dane’s work fits this market perfectly, mixing classical artwork symbols with pale colors and psychedelic illusions, such as warped geometry, oversized weeping eyes, and massaging heads. Sadness and absurdity beneath the normal seem to be recurring themes in Dane’s stylishly strange world. Visit the artist on Instagram to view more.

Pony Reinhardt’s Tattoos Explore Organic World and Celestial Bodies

Pony Reinhardt is a tattoo artist and the owner of Portland’s Tenderfoot Studios, in which she adopts organic and celestial meditations on the bodies of customers. The artist’s work often concerns flora and fauna with surreal flourishes. And each rendered in only black provide stunning clarity on each wearer’s skin care.

“Her entire body of tattoo function is built on a frame of ritual placemats and alchemical diagrams,” a statement states. “Each piece is a synergy of elemental spell substances, drawing inspiration in the natural world” The artist is referred to as “an astral ruffian, flourishing in the wilderness of this lost and found nebulae and draining carbon monoxide.”

The artist graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art. Subsequently, Reinhardt’s work has been revealed in associations like Smithsonian National Gallery of Art. See more of this artist’s recent bits under.

10 Fearless Tattoo Artists From South Korea

In the past several years, South Korea has become a powerhouse for great tattoo artists. But technically, their practice is considered illegal in the eyes of the South Korean government.
Why is this? The reasoning makes sense but doesn’t reflect the current state of tattooing. Tattoos are seen as a “medical procedure” that should be performed by a doctor, not an unlicensed artist. “It’s invasive,” explained Korea Medical Association spokeswoman Ahn So-Young. “The skin is punctured, and it bleeds. That’s why we look at it as a medical procedure.” To them—and rightfully so—there is a risk of disease from improperly sterilized needles. The government has, however, began to look into the possibility of reversing the law by studying tattoo shops.
