Tattoo Spotlight: Russian Artist Den Yakovlev
Tattoo Spotlight is a new feature in the Tattoo Corner section of the site. It will focus on the work of tattoo artists and ink owned by tattoo collectors, with brief synopses and links.
Today's Tattoo Spotlight features the gorgeous creations of Den Yakovlev. I had the pleasure of interviewing Den for an issue of Tattooist Art Magazine and was quickly captivated by his portfolio.
This Russian tattooist is steadfastly making a name for himself in the tattoo world. An artist for nearly a decade now, Yakovlev owns Negative Karma Tattoo Studio in Moscow, Russia and keeps extremely busy with an eager clientele.
His portraiture/realism skills are incredible; producing beauty in both the color and black & grey genres.
