All of these are amazing but I want to know what they look like in 5 years.
Sandry Riffard has surely created a name for himself in the tattoo industry. At the moment, he has more than 372 thousand followers on Instagram and the number seems to be increasing! His captivating artwork and growing presence on social media make him a must-follow for anyone interested in the world of tattoos. If you're a tattoo enthusiast yourself, let us know in the comments!
The artwork is incredible, for sure, but how does something like this hold up over time? Is that going to look like a big fuzzy blob in 25-30 years?
I can't even imagine how long some of these took and how much they cost.
Interestingly, Riffard never considered tattooing as a career path. He has been drawing and painting since he was a child, but never professionally until a friend handed him a tattoo gun and sparked his career as a tattoo artist. Now, Riffard is considered as one of the world’s most gifted tattoo artists, drawing people from all over the world.
One of my wishes is to visit Easter Island and see these absolut amazing rock statues/moais in real life! 🗿
Surely not everyone would sign up for such a tattoo as creating these works of art can be quite a challenge, both in terms of the artistic process and the physical endurance required. Would you be brave enough to get one of these?
I can't imagine how long this takes. You'd think with how rich it is the skin would protest that much packing in the saturation, but it all looks amazing and perfect. The void of the black actually feels like the depth of an abyss. I feel like I could run my hand over the skull and scales and feel the texture. The subtle play of light gives such a boost of contrast. This truly is a masterpiece. I could get lost in this one.
If these tattoos have taken your breath away, don't forget to follow the artist on Instagram for more mesmerizing designs! You can find it here.
that is not going to look good at all over time...just one big black abyss on a back
It is not on the back. It is even worse, it is on the front :-(
Load More Replies...I want a gothic tattoo! No wait, I love Mario! Horror. Nintendo games. Horror. Nintendo games. Oh... I just can't decide!
I can't imagine some of the reactions this one may get, like at a doctor's office if you have to take your shirt off or something. I can picture kids flipping out at the beach if they saw this and all the moms clutching their pearls.
I bet he would be very proud to show this tattoo.
Load More Replies...Wow, the patience it takes to do something like this is inspiring.
It is off center. The nose isn't lined up with the belly button and this bothers me. 😕
Go lord over a laser print of a better comment, droop to yourself
Load More Replies............. really I'm trying to imagine a world women encourage each other and are than more than baby machines, can you?
Load More Replies...Ooo, the throat is a very painful place! I admire the people who can do it!
With newer techniques colour can last very well, times have changed ronnie
Load More Replies...It's a hospital grade absorbance pad (like after surgery) it absorbs excess ink, blood and plasma. You leak a lot when getting a tattoo, especially when it is so saturated.
Load More Replies...If both are the same artist, is the thigh older and the black has faded a bit? Still looks great.
I feel like the proportions are a bit off on this one... The tattoos shown at the top are stunning but some of these aren't as good. But hey, I'm not here to judge people for what they want on their body 🤷🏼. Personally, I just don't like it as much as the others.
Not a fan of all the skulls, but he’s a very talented artist. Love the Lynx, Belly Dog and the 1996 Disney film nod to the Hunchback of Norte Dame. The Easter Island statue w/ the yellow alien one was really good. But my all time favorite one are the 2 that look like they are straight out of a gothic church- the Stained Glass one and the other like that looks like it’s carved stone.
I love the work! I like skulls but it is what the majority of the people get. I would do something else.
