How to Find a Fine Art Tattoo Artist

Fine art tattoos are highly detailed and intricate, requiring a skilled artist who specializes in this style. In this post, I will discuss how to find an artist to successfully design and execute the fine art tattoo of your dreams.

To execute body art based on fine art, it is extremely helpful if the artist has a background in fine art. There is so much to know about the art history, composition, color theory, and various artistic techniques in a given inspirational work for the artist to accurately capture the essence and style of the chosen artwork in the tattoo design.

I not only have formal training in fine art from the Pratt Institute and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, but I also have my own artistic practice that I have been fine tuning for the past twenty years. This means that I can not only assist in helping clients translate, say, an existing classical painting or contemporary sculpture, but I can also create tattoos based on my own artwork. My favorite tattoos to do are those in which I am given the creative freedom to create something unique and never-before seen.
