Ukrainian tattooer Rita “Rit Kit” Zolotukhina has come up with a new way of designing tattoos, and her technique produces some of the most beautiful work we’ve ever seen. They’re all based around real leaves — or what Zolotukhina describes as “botanical fingerprints.” So how does she do it? The process is simpler than you might think. She dips the leaf in ink, places it on the clients skin to create a stencil, then uses that stencil to tattoo the leaf onto the skin. The results are delicate, highly realistic, and incredibly detailed. See some of Zolotukhina’s work below.
