Neo tattoo artist a.k.a DeLaine Gilma from Stichfreudig Tattoo Studio, Zürich/Switzerland.
He tattoos in many styles including: Japanese, mechanical and tribal, but his most striking is his geometric work.
Do you have any tattoos in this style? We’d love to see them!
Canadian artist Sakimi Chan has given the classic Disney princesses a gender make-over turning the traditional feminine ladies into new masculine characters. Albeit it very beautiful, chiselled, hairless men.
Our favourite being the complete gender role reversal, with a masculine Belle and feminine Beast.

Fifty-eight-year-old Keith Gordon claims that it is his OCD that has pushed him into tattoo addiction. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder has ruled him all his life and it is this condition that has driven him to have his whole head tattooed.
At seventeen he had his shoulders and arms tattooed but changed his mind, he chose to have painful skin grafts to remove his teenage ink.
In the last five years Keith has spent almost £15k not only having his tattoos redone but adding more to his body and face.
