AVAILABLE DESIGN

First flash drop: Designs sourced from rare private art collections.
While most prehistoric tattoos recycle the same 10-20 popular images found on Pinterest, these come from private archaeological sources.
Each design is researched, authentic, and something you won’t see anywhere else.

I’ve always liked to try visual mediums where I have no experience at all. I get more free and confident in mediums where I do have some experience, because of this exchange.
It’s a mix of sensations that I’m interested in.
My 1st time really trying spray cans. Fun, fun

Patience is key when it comes to details. Understanding light and form is crucial. Rock textures require dedication and practice, still lots to learn! This synthetic skin isn't ideal for capturing white highlights, resulting in a lack of depth. Nonetheless, this piece was a blast to work on. Short timelapse coming soon...
How do others master rock textures?

30,000+ years of human carved storytelling. This piece weaves together Paleolithic cave art, Ice Age megafauna, and the primal symbols our ancestors used to make sense of their world.
I like this time travel compositions, getting lost in time. What about you, which period clicks for you?
