Mexican Artist Creates Tattoos That Seem to Have Been Done With a Needle and Thread
Both embroidery and tattooing demand lots of experience and skill with needles. But what happens when these techniques fuse together? Inspired by traditional Mexican motifs, Tattoo artist Fernanda Ramirez creates her own designs using a style that resembles embroidery. As a result, her tattoos look as if they were sewn into the skin.
Bright Side made a compilation of “embroidered” tattoos by Fernanda Ramirez, including a bonus at the end of the article, so you can enjoy her art and use of color.
