A refined full-back piece built on a soft mandala structure, designed with elegance and precision rather than heavy contrast. The composition flows naturally from the upper spine down to the lower back, following the body’s contours with a light, airy feel. Unlike bold blackwork pieces, this tattoo relies on fine linework and minimal shading, allowing every detail to breathe. The layered ornamental patterns create depth through repetition and symmetry, while the clean outlines keep the design sharp and feminine. The top section spreads gently across the shoulders, framing the upper back, while the lower part tapers into a pointed flow that elongates the silhouette. Small dotwork accents add texture without overwhelming the composition. This piece is a perfect example of how less saturation can still create a strong visual impact — focusing on balance, flow, and precision over density.

Berlin
My name is Santiago, I’m a tattoo artist from Argentina, currently based in Mallorca. I’ll be doing a guest spot in Berlin from June 8th to 13th. I specialize in bold ornamental tattoos that flow with the body, combining strong lines, fine details, blackwork, and tribal-inspired elements. I love creating unique custom designs based on each client’s references and ideas.
