A New Fashion,

in tattoos,

 is this black background style,

 developed by Chicago-based tattoo artist Esther Garcia, who creates inky black backgrounds on her clients, which are interspersed with delicate floral designs,

 sweet peas and garden roses, along with butterflies and birds, emerge from black palettes edged in stylized patterns, Garcia, who is largely self-taught and has twenty years of experience as a tattooer, is known for her lush botanical designs and her artistic project-based approach to tattooing,

and in some good news for folks that have a tattoo they want covered over her current series of black background tattoos actually began as a solution for cover-ups (a new tattoo deliberately designed and placed to obscure an older one that is no longer wanted),

 in addition to continuing her tattoo practice, Garcia is also working on a textile and commercial design collaboration with Chicago designer Kyle Letendre, 

 and a traveling workshop series to educate younger artists on cultivating a unique style and sustainable business,

  You can see more of Garcia’s tattoos on Instagram, and see what upcoming projects she has available on her website, 

 not that I am a fan of tattoos,

but it is always interesting to see new designs that may become popular, as it happens we have featured tattoos many times in the past, have a look here for the link.
