Refined black tattoos, characterised by soft, harmonious lines that flow naturally along the body – these are the key features of the Nouveau Ornamental style. It combines the typical elegance of floral and abstract Art Nouveau decoration with references to ornamental design.
Recurring subjects include female faces, delicate hands, pearl necklaces, elegant animals, feathered birds, decorative motifs and fluid shapes that wrap around and move across the body with the softness of velvet.
The use of deep, essential black enhances the contrast between filled and empty spaces, bringing out the graphic power of the main subject and highlighting the anatomical curves with grace and dynamism.
