My New Obsession: The Art of Tattooing Tiles
Lately, tile-inspired tattoos have undoubtedly become my favorite projects to do at the studio. There is something hypnotic about transforming the skin into a canvas of traditional patterns.
A little piece of light and geometry
As the song in the video says, each of these pieces brings “a little piece of light”. I am fascinated by the contrast between the geometric rigidity required by the original design of a tile and the way the needle must organically adapt to the curves of the human body. It’s a technical challenge that I deeply enjoy, turning black ink and fine line technique into a permanent piece of jewelry.
Creating your ideal pattern
I am quite excited about the direction my work is taking thanks to these designs. Every tile I tattoo is unique, designed and fitted exclusively for the person who will wear it. It’s not just about copying a pattern, but creating an ornamental piece that flows with your anatomy and tells a small visual story.
If you like this ornamental and geometric aesthetic, I would love to design an exclusive pattern for you here in Seville. Write to me and let’s shape it!
Would you get just one small tile or a whole composition?
