Among tattoo artists with recognizable style and there are quite a few women in their own army of admirers, and among Russian masters as well. If on the move you can recall the well-known and outside of Russia Sasha Masyuk and Sasha Unisex, then a more detailed search on the Instagram site shows that there are much more talents and nuggets. We have chosen ten interesting tattoo artists, you can enroll for them even now - or you can be inspired daily by their drawings.
Rita Zolotukhina
Rita Zolotukhina, an artist and an architect by training, makes mainly botanical watercolor tattoos: her instagram ribbon is replete with bright cornflowers, ferns and tulips. In addition to them, Rita makes excellent abstract drawings. The most surprising thing about the tattoo artist’s work is the lack of self-repetition and, despite the clearly marked direction, a mobile style. Delicate watercolor flowers coexist with ideal contours, and fragments of Matisse and Schiele on parts of the human body look like an organic decoration, rather than an awkward reproduction.
Nora Lyashko
Tattoos of girls from Sashatattooing have long conquered the fans of this art, and the pictures of Nora Lyashko you could see in the sets of translated tattoos Miami Tattoos. Previously, Nora worked as a flight attendant, but now she draws recognizable flowers on her clients' bodies in soft pink watercolors - the contrasts of saturated lines and neat, barely noticeable fills are remembered at a glance.
Anastasia Martynova
Last week we showed you the cosmetic treasures of the master from Moscow, Anastasia Martynova - and now we warmly recommend you subscribe to her instagram. Anastasia’s black and white tattoos clearly demonstrate that volume does not necessarily go hand in hand with color. And according to her stylish photo tape, you can study the art of tattoo layout: the master has an excellent sense of composition (note to those who have not yet decided on the size and location of their dream tattoos).
Natasha Murzina
With the work of Natasha, which you could see in the slogans of Niki Vodvud, you can get acquainted in instagram. She works in handpoke style and beats tiny colored tattoos. It seems to be minimalistic, but very peculiar drawings recommend to take note to all who find it difficult to understand the pathos of the monumental "sleeves" and skulls. Natasha is not afraid of the variety of colors and experiments with the composition, and the results of her work even on tiny areas of the body look extremely self-sufficient.
Tasia Tasenen
The illustrator and tattoo artist from Yekaterinburg also specializes in tiny tattoos, most of which are concentrated emotion. While the fashion for watercolor tattoos is beginning to fade away, we recommend that you pay attention to the “illustrator” drawings, similar to Tasyin: she paints the skin with markers or colored pencils. If you love Moomin trolls and seals, but you want to see touching characters who are not executed with a carbon copy, you should pay attention to the style of the artist.
Catherine Harmony
Another girl who works in the studio Sashatattooing and specializes in colors and botany in the overall style of the team: detailed details, bright outlines, delicate watercolor colors. Tiny neat pictures on her clavicles and wrists, and noticeable catchy “bouquets” —are equally cool — and sketches diverge with a bang. Above all, the craftsmanship of execution is striking, with all the complexity of the details of the drawing, thanks to which the artist’s flowers and birds can sit like poured on any parts of the body.
Ksu arrow
The master from Moscow specializes in artistic tattoos inscribed in ideal forms: “Venus” by Botticelli and “The Girl with a Pearl Earring” by Vermeer are perfectly adapted as drawings on the body. Especially cool, however, are tattoos based on the paintings of the 20th century with its non-academic colors and compositions, but if you really dream of a fresco with a texture close to the original, it’s worth taking a chance being a client of this particular artist.
Julia Shpadyreva
Another master who prefers virtuoso black-and-white graphics to color divorces is well controlled with lettering, realism and simple forms that require clean and careful work. The case when you want to call the drawings executed in one black color airy and transparent: even brutal and detailed animals performed by Yulia Shpadyreva are moderate and calm.
Nastya Slutskaya
The artist from St. Petersburg is equally good at drawing and lush watercolor, botanical tattoos and ornaments. Nastya’s signature design is goldfish, which literally look like living ones — however, sharks and penguins like us no less. She works out small tattoos so carefully that they ask to examine them closely in detail.
