dark art tattoo

Eduard’s style is a mix of dark art, blackwork, black and grey and abstract textures. He loves working freehand because it builds a unique exchange of trust and connection with each client. Some of his favorite subjects to draw and tattoo are insects and skulls—they never fail to inspire him. His tattoo journey began 10 years ago in sunny Barcelona, where his first tattoo experience completely changed his perspective. It connected something deep within him and has fueled his passion for tattooing ever since.⁠ ⁠ He is influenced by his environment and the artists he works alongside. He is also a big fan of metal and noise music, which has a huge impact on his stylistic approach. The bold black surfaces and textures often seen in this genre helps him create his own visual language, playing with body shapes to craft something truly unique.⁠ Speaks Russian, Spanish and English

Horror Tattoo

The origins of horror tattoos are closely tied to the evolution of horror as a cultural phenomenon. Classic monster movies from Universal Studios in the 1930s and 1940s—featuring characters like Frankenstein, the Mummy, and the Wolfman—created a visual language for horror that tattoo artists adopted over time. Common themes in horror tattoos are: monsters, demons, skulls, skeletons, anything occult and supernatural, folkore creatues (vampires, werevolves, zombies) and surreal of psychological horror. The style varies widely—some are hyper-realistic, others cartoonish or surreal. Many use dark, bold lines and shading, with pops of red to emphasize blood or violence.

Dark art tattoos are a style of body art that draws heavily from themes of mystery, macabre, and the surreal. They often have a striking, dramatic aesthetic and can range from gothic to horror-inspired, blending elements of fine art and tattooing to create bold and expressive designs. Dark art tattoos are not just body adornments but are often deeply personal expressions of identity, philosophy, and aesthetic preference. They serve as both a statement and a celebration of the darker, mysterious facets of the human experience. Common themes are: skulls, monsters, slasher characters, demons or occult symbols and zombies. The style varies from black and grey work, dotwork and fine line up to negative space.
