Engraving Tattoo

Tight cross-hatching, etched lines, and high-contrast detail in the spirit of classical engravings.

Inspired by 16th and 17th century print engravings, this style works with dense hatch lines, controlled negative space, and graphic contrast. Subjects often draw from natural history and antique illustration — birds, anatomical specimens, religious iconography — translated into permanent skin work.
