Italian Tattoo Artist Creates Clean and Minimalistic Blackwork Tattoos

If you prefer simplicity over over-the-top tattoo works, then you should definitely check the works of Michele Volpi. This Italian tattoo artist specializes in creating impressive minimalistic blackwork tattoos.

Volpi started doing tattoos five years ago after a friend noticed her affection towards detailed art and recommended her to buy a tattooing starter kit. She immediately fell in love with tattoo art, and after experimenting with different styles and techniques, discovered that blackwork is her favorite.

In her tattoo works, Volpi only uses black ink and the client’s skin in order to “paint a picture.” By drawing fine lines and dotwork, she is able to create clean and minimalistic tattoos that are both pleasing and effective.

Most of her art revolves around nature, geometry and human anatomy. Check out more of them below.
