After seeing the works of some tattoo artists, even the most skeptical person should consider tattoos as an art. One of these is blackdotkime, which shares his little masterpieces made of black ink on his Instagram profile.

Blackdotkime works in a studio in Seoul, South Korea, and has developed a special technique that distinguishes him from his colleagues. His tattoos are literally created point by point. Thanks to this it is possible to create very slight nuances, creating real optical games. A cat, a horse, and other subjects seem to come out of the skin, while others seem to have been trapped under the last layer of the epidermis and we see only the shapes of the hands.

I have to be honest, I’m not a tattoo lover and I never thought about making one, but for a whale that falls into the skin like a sea wave I would make an exception.

You can find other blackdotkime tattoos on Instagram, where you can also see her drawings on the @it.just.nothing profile.
