Today, we want to introduce the work of the talented tattoo artist Jamie Luna. His melancholy, black-and-gray tattoos, which are a combination of graphic and realism techniques, are bold and innovative. The volume and depth that he achieves in his drawings give tattoos a new lease on life.

The themes of his tattoos are drawn from popular stories, past experiences, emotions from his own life, and his observations of society as a whole.

In an interview with Inked, Jamie stated, «Each of my work has a deep meaning. I don’t understand how a tattoo may not make sense. This is the main thing in it! Our ancestors came up with tattoos, first of all, as a means of transmitting information. This is a kind of code: I am a husband, wife, thief, bachelor, shaman.»

Jamie primarily works in black and gray, but he also uses a limited amount of color to enhance the key compositional elements of his tattoos.
