Bold Blackwork Tattoos | Range of Black Tattoo Ink 0


Blackwork tattooing has soared in popularity over the years, and it's a trend we can't get enough of. The aesthetic of blackwork tattoos is really cool, and there are some extremely eye-catching monochromatic images on Instagram of black tattoos which show just how beautiful this style really is.  

Blackwork tattoos are often dark, illustrative, and graphic, and can come in the form of geometric and ornamental styles, however there are still plenty of other ways in which blackwork can be depicted.  We've seen some stunning traditional style blackwork tattoos that are made of solid black areas and black shading.

Gorgeous Geometric Tattoos from Paul Davies | Buy Black Tattoo Ink Online 0

This week we're looking at the amazing geometric tattoos done by our pro-team member, the incredibly talented Paul Davies, better known on his Instagram page as @paulokink.  

Paul started off by studying Fine Art at University, but his love for tattoos took over, with Paul falling into the art of tattooing in 2009.  He began doing hand poked tattoos in a variety of styles, then later moved on to geometric work, focusing on geometric designs, merging them with other styles he'd enjoyed in his earlier career.  Paul decided he wanted to settle down in a lovely and relaxed corner of the UK, and around 5 years ago he moved to the beautiful village of Kingsbridge, Devon, where he worked alongisde the talented Dris Donnelly.  In November 2017, Paul took over the studio and changed the name to Ragnarok because of his love of Norse mythology.

Black Friday Deals and Blackwork Tattoos | Discount on Tattoo Supplies 0

This coming Friday, it’s officially the craziest shopping day of the year.  Friday the 23rd of November is ‘Black Friday'.  Each year, the last Friday of the month in November is statistically the busiest, most hectic day for shoppers across the nation.  This is because (for many people) it’s the last payday before Christmas. This may not necessarily be the case if you're a tattoo artist, but for most people, it’s the last chance to have a final splurge and bulk buy Christmas presents, stock up on Christmas food and drink, and get everything in order, just in time for Christmas day. Black Friday is also typically known for ‘Black Friday Sales’, where tonnes of stores heavily discount their products.  It's absolute chaos
