Over ten years of work, Artemy has developed his own unique tattoo style, however, more and more often in his abstract works there are realistic elements - faces, eyes, skulls and plants. But the most important thing here is the deep meaning that is in every work of the author.

Style and Technique
Artemy Savelyev works both in color and black-and-gray inks, but the unique feature of his compositions is that they also contain clean areas of the skin untouched by paint. As the author himself says, clean skin is an equally important part of the composition in a tattoo.
If you can compare the visual and musical styles, then the abstraction in which Artemy works is definitely jazz. The same chaotic, unpredictable and rhythmic. This is not surprising, because music is one of the artist's favorite directions, which he tries to visualize in his art.
Savelyev's technique employs what could be classified as abstract expressionist tattooing, where spontaneous brushwork-like strokes and deliberate asymmetry create dynamic visual tension. His mastery lies in balancing controlled chaos with precise realistic elements, using negative space as an active compositional tool rather than mere background. The intentional imperfection of his linework serves a philosophical purpose, rejecting the sterile perfection often associated with traditional tattoo styles in favor of organic, human expression.
His color palette tends toward muted earth tones punctuated by strategic bursts of vibrant hues, creating depth and movement that draws the eye across the composition. This approach requires exceptional technical skill, as the artist must maintain proper ink saturation and healing considerations while achieving the appearance of spontaneous artistic creation.

Notable Works
The author himself admitted that ordered chaos is human life, and this is exactly what he wants to show in his tattoos. The imperfection of the lines in his works is a reflection of the imperfection of the human soul.
The works shown in the gallery above demonstrate Savelyev's signature integration of jazz-inspired abstraction with realistic portraiture elements. His pieces often feature flowing, improvisational line work that incorporates human faces, botanical elements, and symbolic imagery, all unified by his distinctive use of negative space. Each composition tells a story of human complexity, using visual rhythm and movement to mirror the spontaneous nature of jazz music that inspires his artistic vision.
These compositions exemplify how contemporary tattoo artistry can elevate the medium beyond traditional boundaries. Savelyev's portfolio showcases the evolution of tattooing as a legitimate fine art form, where technical mastery meets conceptual depth.
