Daria Rei is a Berlin-based artist who creates black ink tattoos in a style that is unique to her. The style of her tattoo designs is a mixture of contemporary illustrations and Ukiyo-e, an artistic style that has existed in Japan for centuries. Ukiyo-e means “pictures of the floating world” which means that the scene […]
Brazilian street artist José Flavio Audi is mad about mandalas and other esoteric and spiritual designs. He uses mandalas, lotus flowers, jewels and sacred geometry throughout his art, including in his tattoo designs. Audi favours intricate, delicate patterns that are very flowing and organic in nature. His petals seem as soft as real flower petals, […]
Silo is a female tattoo artist who works from Aro Tattoo Studio in Itaewon, Seoul, an area of South Korea.

And perhaps he has earned the right to remain silent, because his tattoo sketches and designs speak very loudly indeed. Morozov’s tattoo designs are packed […]

Well. Lucky me, because along came Kalaka with a whole new take on both old and […]
Jefree Naderali is a tattoo artist who lives in Taksim, in Instanbul, Turkey. He specializes in photo realistic tattoos that are simply breathtaking. There are many reasons why his tattoos are so exceptional – he is creating photorealism, which is pretty tricky, and he’s doing it on a small scale, and his gradients are smooth […]
Vancouver-based tattoo artist Katie Shocrylas also goes by the name Kshocs, which, obviously, is an abbreviation of her full name. Shocrylas has been featured in many tattoo blogs before, but her work is so extraordinary that I felt she is definitely worth a mention here on Ratta Tattoo. Katie Shocrylas works in a sketch and […]

Not only does she do tattoos, she also makes murals for childrens’ educational facilities and hospitals, as well as exhibiting her drawings, paintings and tapestries, which of course, she has to find the time […]
