Tattoo style
Blackwork Tattoo in Northampton
Solid black, dotwork and line, with no colour to lean on. At THRONE it comes from two hands: Tuba’s botanical blackwork and fine dotwork, and Erkan Zarif’s bold Polynesian-inspired blackwork.
Work in this style
Tattooed at THRONE by Tuba and Erkan Zarif.
Blackwork reads by contrast with the skin itself, so the placement and the way the design follows the body are planned at the consultation, before anything is drawn.
Suited to
- Botanical studies and nature pieces
- Dotwork mandalas and ornamental bands
- Bold Polynesian-inspired sleeves
- Small, quiet pieces that age cleanly
