Levgen Knysh — Professional Tattoo Artist in Los Angeles

I call it Illustrated realism. The style is based on realistic images rules like shadows, highlights, foreground, background, composition, contrast, and saturation. The skin is a canvas for tattoos, and it’s a very specific material. I like to take a bright drawing and saturate it with color, even more, making it glow and shine with shades. I want to keep tattoos looking good as long as possible and be clearly seen at a distance as well. I use more contrast, pure colors and play with different special effects like fire or light. I like to use hands, skulls, and fire in my designs, mainly to show some dynamics, mysticism, and bright emotions.

At the same time, as before, I am looking for new horizons and ambitious dreams, constantly improving myself and moving forward.
