In this YouTube video, Polish tattoo artist Alex Konti (Oleksandr Kontypailo) takes us through his tattoo creation process. <\/strong><\/p>\n

In the beginning of the video, the artist shows us his tools; including his tattoo needles and inks and before he starts working on his client’s skin, he shows us the settings on his tattoo machine. I personally enjoy watching tattoo videos for the artistic value, but by including some of his technical process, YouTuber Konti cleverly offers this data-candy to the tattoo geeks out there – the people who like to know what tools, products, brands and tool settings the artist is using.<\/p>\n

The design that Alex is using is esoteric in nature; combining elements of spirituality, physics and emotions. The beautiful eye that is the central subject of this tattoo is rendered in a realistic style that involves creating soft gradients; the “shading” in the iris, along with high contrasts between the areas of dense black tattoo ink and the areas of skin that have been left ink-free.<\/p>\n

Included in this tattoo design is an ace of spades playing card. In art, the ace of spades is a symbol of rebellion and anarchy; a perfect symbol for tattoo enthusiasts who embrace the rebellious nature of rock ‘n roll and heavy metal music. The backdrop for the realistic eye tattoo is a broken clock in a gothic design. The cracks in the clock add an extra layer of symbolism to the tattoo – is time broken? Does the eye see through time? The combination of symbolic elements in this tattoo design; the eye, the clock and the ace of spades playing card not only make for an interesting design; in combination they create more questions in the viewer than answers. The meaning of this tattoo is unclear and that’s what makes it intriguing; the kind of tattoo that makes people ask its wearer; “What does it mean?”<\/p>\n

Alex Konti is a multi-faceted tattoo artist. He appears to be able to render tattoos in any tattoo style out there, from Gothic realism, like we see in this video, to minimalism, cartoon and even watercolor styles. You can see a gallery of his past tattoo art works on his Instagram<\/a>, contact him through his website<\/a> or you can enjoy watching more of his tattoo videos on his YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n
