Because the saying goes, if one is aware of little or no about one thing, their information might match on the again of a postage stamp. However for tattoo artist Ash Aurich, the minuscule format offers a readymade canvas and body ripe for experimentation, intrigue, and wonder.

Utilizing a positive line approach with delicate shading, Aurich outlines the unmistakable scalloped edges of the ever-present, tiny adhesives, filling rectangular compositions with Renaissance-inspired romantic and non secular figures.

A deep appreciation for iconic artworks impressed Aurich to create tiny odes to artwork historical past. “I wanted to be able to capture the essence of these masterpieces in a unique and engaging way,” she tells Colossal. “Having the opportunity to tattoo these designs on others who appreciate art is a rewarding experience.”

Aurich’s most popular material is individuals, particularly the dramatic and infrequently symbolic figures in artwork historic masterworks by the likes of Johannes Vermeer or Caravaggio. “The attention to detail, use of light and shadow, and mastery of human anatomy create stunning, lifelike representations that translate beautifully into tattoos,” the artist says. She shares that it’s vital for the feelings and narratives of every portrait to resonate with the wearer, particularly at their small scale.

Presently in residency at Atelier Eva, Aurich has opened her books for March and April in New York Metropolis. The tattoos seen listed here are all flash designs, however she creates customized compositions, too. See extra on Instagram.
