Belarussian Artist Ilya Brezinski Turns Surreal Characters Into Impressive Tattoos

The Belarussian tattoo artist and illustrator Ilya Brezinski based in St Petersburg, Russia, is known for designing dotted and blackwork body art, through which the surreal characters from his expressive imagination bleed out into reality.

The tattoos Ilya forms are predominantly monochrome and often not constrained by the usual boundaries, sometimes traveling throughout the whole body. But what makes some of them even more compelling is that they’re a cluster of dots, carefully inked into these wonderful designs. The style is very much evocative of pointillism, which was invented by the French artists George Seurat and Paul Signac back in 1886.
