Gladiator Helmet Composition
A bold chest piece centered around a detailed gladiator helmet, executed in black and grey with a striking red accent in the plume. The metallic shading gives the helmet a realistic, sculptural feel, while the circular Greek-inspired ornament behind it adds structure and depth to the composition. The red tones break the monochrome palette, creating a strong focal point and enhancing the warrior aesthetic. Clean transitions, smooth gradients, and sharp highlights make the piece stand out with a powerful, cinematic presence.

I focus on custom projects, creating each design specifically for the client. For me, a tattoo is a carefully planned composition that should flow naturally with the body and stay expressive over time. I pay close attention to the concept, details, and placement.
