For many people today, tattoos are the best form of expression for their individual style. But stars, sayings and Chinese characters are nowhere near as creative, which is why tattoo artists provide new motifs and techniques that transform the design into a real work of art on the skin. It shouldn't necessarily be flashy or big either. Filigree motifs are becoming more and more popular because they suit petite women perfectly and impress with their intricate details. Check out the extraordinary designs by the very well-known artist Dr. Woo and see for yourself!
Brian Woo began experimenting at the age of 13, even though his father wanted him to become a doctor. This is where his name Doctor Woo comes from. The 33-year-old artist has enhanced the skin of celebrities including Drake, Ellie Goulding and Cara Delevigne and is one of the most sought-after tattoo artists in Los Angeles. Last December, The New York Times named him a “tattoo artist for the Hollywood set.” The waiting time for an appointment is long - you have to wait more than 6 months.
The geometric shapes are its unique selling point. He became famous with a wolf made up of circles and lines. He looks like a complicated constellation. 535,000 people have fallen in love with his creations and follow him on Instagram.
Since nature plays an essential role in our lives, nature-related motifs and symbols are very popular. In addition to plants and animals, various natural phenomena are often etched on the skin. They are designed precisely with reference to nature and depict different natural elements. In this design, the artist has depicted the phases of the moon using various plants. The tattoo is completed with lines and circles of arrows, typical of this tattoo artist's works.
Wildlife is an inseparable part of nature and is often found in Doctor Woo's works. Birds also play a particularly important role. Birds symbolize freedom and independence. They are suitable for all free spirits and can be tattooed with a delicate design. The different types of birds also have different meanings that you can take into account when choosing.
Flowers are timeless symbolswhen it comes to tattoos. Among them, the Queen of Flowers stands out as a favorite motif that appears in many different combinations.
The small designs are often tattooed on hidden parts of the body, especially if one is in the business world. A suitable place for women is behind the ear, where the tattoo is only visible when your hair is pinned up. A small rose, for example, looks particularly elegant at this point.
The elements from the plant world should not always be flowers. A weeping willow is depicted on this forearm, which has many small jewels instead of branches with leaves. The design is made using the so-called dotwork method with just one needle.
The art of origami folding is very popular worldwide and is increasingly being chosen as inspiration. The origami crane, for example, symbolizes luck and longevity, which is why it is perfect for a permanent tattoo. Its design corresponds to this artist's style as it consists mainly of geometric shapes.
Adult Disney fans would definitely look forward to a tattoo like this. Shown here is an abstract representation of Mickey Mouse consisting only of circles and lines. It looks particularly elegant and is suitable for various parts of the body. Whether on the wrist, upper arm or shoulder blade, the tattoo will always remind you of your childhood.
The design is minimalist, but can have a very specific meaning for the wearer. Other symbols can also be tattooed in the same way, such as stars or small butterflies.
Instead of putting a few bracelets on your wrist every day, you can get a few tattooed. In addition to bracelets, rings, various hand jewelry and even necklaces can be pierced onto the skin.
