Sometimes, what starts out as one thing, ends up becoming something else entirely.
A good example of this is the gorgeous black background tattoos that Chicago-based tattoo artist Esther Garcia creates.
A self-taught tattoo artist with 20 years of experience, Esther specializes in creating floral designs on inky black backgrounds for her clients. Initially, this started as a way to cover up old tattoos that clients no longer wanted on their skin. But now, people are lining up to have these black background tattoos, even when there’s nothing to cover.
Then again, after taking a look at what Esther can do, you wouldn’t really be surprised as to why people like her work.
