This Tattoo Artist Turns Her Clients into Works of Art

To tattoo artists, the human body is a canvas. And Los Angeles-based tattoo artist, known as Roxx, takes this notion to the extreme, turning her clients into living and breathing works of art.

Roxx creates minimalist geometric tattoos, drawn with black ink only. Sprawling across chests, arms, and legs, her creations are truly mesmerizing.

To create her tattoos, Roxx looks to the structure of leaves and shells for inspiration. Specifically, “The repeating patterns and the geometry, the stuff that’s always fascinated mystics and philosophers and shamans,” she explained in an interview with GQ.

And once a client arrives, Roxx forgoes the pre-planned stencil placement. “When you’re drawing things straight onto the body, they have another magical quality to them that is often lost,” she said.
