For our third 5×5 feature we’re featuring travelling, nomad tattooer, Eterno8. With his heavy black imagery and occasional use of bright neon colours Eterno has a unique and incredibly striking style and is one of my favourite tattooers.
What are your 5 favourite images to tattoo?
I’m always trying to make drawings look from a different point of view, escaping from established guides.
1. Pro-animal themes.
2. FREEDOM against submission themes.
3. Motivational and positive themes.
4. Concepts or ideas that have deep meaning for the person who get it tattooed, does´t matter if it’s easily understandable for other people.
5.Stuff influenced from 80´s, 90´s.
