Blackwork tattoos in Oslo.
Pure, powerful black. Blackwork ranges from bold lines and lettering to ornaments and deliberate negative space, a style that ages beautifully when it is planned well.
Vilde · blackworkStrong contrast, clear shapes, a timeless look.
Blackwork is not about filling everything with black, but about clean shapes, strong contrast and bare skin as part of the design.
The result feels almost graphic, and holds up well over time. We combine blackwork with lettering, geometry, ornamentation and symbolism. We draw everything from scratch and plan for how the design will age.
Blackwork is also a good choice for cover-ups, because saturated black covers old ink better than light, airy designs.
