Groenewald’s tattoo style in reminiscent of Peter Aurisch’s body art works. This abstract, pencil and paint style of tattoo art is becoming very popular in Germany, especially in Berlin. Artists working in this style frequently create custom tattoos for their clients which means that the majority of these tattoos are unique to their owner. Unlike traditional tattoo designs, this artistic, abstract style doesn’t follow a strict set of artistic rules. Instead, the artist uses whichever illustration technique they believe will express the emotion, idea or event that the tattoo art work must symbolize.
