Artist Uses Bold Lines to Create the Most Beautiful Linear Tattoos Ever

Deciding to get inked isn’t a decision that most of us take lightly, but after seeing these stunning linear tattoos by artist Portuguese tattoo artist Nouvelle Rita that decision might be just a little bit easier. The tattoo artist is able to use clean lines and geometric shapes in order to transform her artistic vision into a minimal tattoo.

Despite their simplicity the tattoos are far from boring or average as rather than shading in areas to create depth Rita uses lines with various thickness to create a sense of depth. 

See below an introduction video about Nouvelle as she takes us through her process and day to day work. Pretty inspiring stuff right?
