Blackwork Fineline Tattoo of Waves and Palm Tree Over Triceps

It’s really impressive how the artist creates these sources of light with the use of white ink.

Minimal Black and Gray Tattoo of Beach
There’s a beautiful haziness that’s seen in this Beach tattoo. It’s created with skillful shading inked in black and gray. Subsequent details emerge as does this mood. Negative or uninked space is also used to create a source of light, but one that’s never overly glaring or bright. The final touch is the palm tree that can’t be contained within a confined space. Nature At Its Best

Minimal Arm Tattoo With Color of Sunset
I must say this piece definitely looks like something straight out of a fairy tale. I love the sparkling look of the moon and moonlight. The palm tree is the focal point, despite being the only part of the tattoo devoid of color. As with any minimal tattoo, the varying images, although separate, come together to tell a greater story. Awesome work by the artist IG: @tattooist_namoo!

Illustrative Tattoo of Palm Tree at the Beach
Another awesome piece for all the fans of illustrative art out there. I find it so fascinating that the surreal style really gives the artist so much space to be creative. The moon is my favorite detail, as the adjacent purple-pink circle, makes it seem like part of the sun at the same time. The negative or uninked space definitely adds drama and framing to each of the components of this piece.
