About Minimalist
The Minimalist tattoo is a defining voice in the simple family — a style with a look all its own, instantly recognisable the moment the needle hits skin. It is most often worn on the leg, where its lines and shading have the room to breathe and the design reads cleanly from across a room. Considered expert to execute, a great Minimalist piece rewards the patience of an artist who lives and breathes the craft. With a 4.4/5 rating and 13,816 saves in the Ink Gallery, it remains one of the most requested looks in the studio.
