David Hale Tattoos the Textures of his Imagination

Tattoo artist David Hale has appeared on Ratta Tattoo before in David Hale Tattoos his Illustrated Spirit. This artist is globally recognized for his unique art style and the exquisite attention to detail that he brings to his tattoo designs. Hale uses a number of illustration techniques to add texture to his tattoos. He uses repetitive lines to create a sense of depth and hundreds of tiny dots in place of shading. These illustration techniques not only create texture – they help to add symbolism and shape to the tattoo subjects. Animals, mandalas and spiritual art patterns often appear in David Hale’s tattoos which means that his body art designs are not only awesome to look at; they are also deeply symbolic.
