The tattoos have had a very special evolution to be now a mass art when decades ago it was rather underground. It is also the quality of the tattoo artists that has made this type of art more and more appreciated, of which from time to time we like to bring to the fore a tattoo artist who has great elegance and great talent.
This is the case of Arlo DiCristina, who produces hyper-realistic paintings in a human canvas, the skin. With incredible attention to detail and a surprising and limitless imagination, he takes us through some special tattoos that we could almost call "3D" due to the effect they take when viewed from certain points or perspectives.
DiCristina creates hyper realistic portraits that merge in other ways, such as urban landscapes or even the depths of the ocean. Each of these portraits has a different meaning and can lead to confusion to make the viewer think that instead of being painted with needles, it was made with brushes.
It is in the dramatic shadows on the lines, which allows to provoke that striking three-dimensional effect and that can be collected in some of the images. And that, they do not really show how spectacular it must be to see them in action.
DiCristina draws inspiration from other artists to create these eye-catching tattoos, be they artists, photographers, and sculptors. His repertoire of interests goes from oil painting also the burning of wood to originate all kinds of proposals, which serve as inspiration to bring those tattoos to the skins of those who are lucky enough to wear one.
A job simply sublime in each of the tattoos that you can see in these lines. If you want more, do not miss on Facebook and on Instagram.
