Join us as we visit Mark Jelliman at his incredibly zen private studio, Mantra, to get this close-up masterclass of how he creates his blackwork peonies!
Mantra - which is Mark’s printing studio, as well as tattoo studio - is relaxed and homely, and the chill vibes gave him plenty of room to express his passion for the Japanese style of tattoo art.
Check out the video for an in-depth look at Mark’s way of working as he creates this blackwork peony across the difficult knee ditch spot, including his own way of retaining individuality while working in an industry with so many incredible artists.
We hope you found this tutorial educational and enlightening! Make sure to follow Mark on Instagram or pick up one of his prints!
