Blackwork tattoo in Erfurt
Blackwork does without colour and often even without grey. What's left is pure black: filled areas, dense patterns and graphic designs. The result can be clearly made out from ten metres away and ages better than almost any other style.
The real art lies in the black itself. A large area has to sit saturated and even without me overworking the skin. That takes experience and the right technique, but above all it takes calm. With blackwork, rushing is the surest way to a patchy result.
What makes Blackwork
- Pure black, filled areas instead of shading
- Graphic, illustrative or ornamental designs
- Negative effects: the skin colour becomes the design, the rest is black
- Strong as a cover-up, because black covers almost anything

Is Blackwork right for you?
- Skin type
- Blackwork suits all skin types very well. On darker skin in particular it's one of the strongest options of all, because it works purely through shape and not through colour.
- Size
- Anything from small to large is possible. Small designs live on clean shapes, large areas on a really clean and even fill.
- Experience
- Small designs work well as a first tattoo. Large blackwork pieces are demanding, though, and I always spread them over several sessions.
Good to know: Black is final, you need to know that. A completely black area can hardly be covered later, only added to. That's exactly why I plan large blackwork pieces with you especially carefully and deliberately give you time to think it over.
