Mythical Mask Back Piece

Mythical Mask Back Piece

BlackworkOrnamentalIllustrative

A bold back tattoo centered around a stylized mythical mask, combining ornamental structure with expressive, almost tribal character design. The composition spreads across the shoulder blade, using strong shapes and layered patterns to create a powerful focal point. Heavy black fills contrast with clean linework and open skin, giving the piece a striking graphic quality. The exaggerated facial features — wide eyes, sharp teeth, and flowing elements — bring energy and personality, while the surrounding ornamental patterns add depth and structure. The design follows the natural curve of the upper back, wrapping slightly toward the shoulder to enhance movement and fit the anatomy. Despite its complexity, the tattoo remains readable and impactful from a distance thanks to its clear hierarchy of shapes. This piece stands out as a fusion of ornamental blackwork and character-driven design — bold, dynamic, and full of attitude.

My name is Santiago, I’m a tattoo artist from Argentina, now you can find me in Mallorca, or on some of my regular guest around Europe. I specialize in bold ornamental tattoos that flows with the body. I work with big lines and small details to make good contrast, I also love to incorporate some black and tribal stuff on my projects. My idea is to work with each client to make an unique and personal design that works with the body. I’m super happy when people ask to some custom designs based on their references.
