Major project development, tattoos research

 I decided to look for inspiration for my tattoo designs, for which I decided to create a Milanote board where I could put my reference images in order to have them all together. Here is the final result:

To make a more in-depth analysis of this style or aesthetic I decided to focus on the tattoos of two of these models; Cris Calenda and Nicholas Kalashnikov. 

Cris Calenda

Nicholas Kalashnikov

The most relevant points I have concluded while looking at these images are that all of the tattoos are black, medium sized, in similar style that includes thin lines and not very detailed shapes, black shadows and similar ideas. Most of them have symmetrical distributions with a central piece in the chest or belly, rounded pieces in the shoulders and pieces scattered through all of the chest and the arms. There are blank spaces in between the tattoos, which have empty spaces inside as well on some occassions.
