A bold ornamental composition built around a central eye, radiating outward through sharp, flame-like mandala elements. The design blends symmetry with aggressive flow, creating a piece that feels both controlled and intense. Heavy black fills anchor the structure, while dotwork gradients soften the transitions and add depth across each layer. The contrast between solid black shapes and open skin creates a strong visual rhythm, making the tattoo highly readable from a distance. The central eye becomes the focal point — symbolic and striking — framed by layered geometry that expands naturally across the shoulder. The shapes follow the body’s curvature, wrapping seamlessly and enhancing the anatomy rather than fighting it. There’s a raw energy in this piece: part sacred geometry, part abstract flame, all tied together through clean execution and confident blackwork. It feels powerful, protective, and visually commanding.

My name is Felipe Lanfredi, and I’ve been a tattoo artist since 2016, specializing in black and grey realism. In my work, I combine technical precision with emotion and storytelling, seeing each tattoo not just as an image but as a collaborative creative process and a way to bring a client’s vision into a powerful, lasting form.
