Combining animals, geometric patterns and abstract elements, Berlin-based German artist Valentin Hirsch creates stunning perfectly symmetrical tattoos in his own unique style which often involves splitting his artworks in half.
A lot of the final creations you see inked on the people below are actually made up of experiments and a variety of images that Hirsch then stitches together. Only ever using black ink for his tattoos you’d expect them to be dull or lacking vibrance but it’s in the detail and the way in which individual elements are fused together that his artworks are bought to life. You can see more of these amazing tattoo’s on Instagram, Facebook and on his website.
