Stylized botanical tattoos by Esther Garcia

Chicago artist Esther Garcia creates unique tattoos on her clients with ink-black backgrounds that alternate with delicate floral patterns.
Sweet peas and garden roses along with butterflies and birds emerge from black palettes framed by stylized patterns. Garcia, who is mostly self-taught and has twenty years of experience as a tattoo artist, is known for her lush botanical designs and her artistic design-based approach to tattoos.

Her current series of tattoos on a black background began as a solution to hide the wound of the created drawing, which for one reason or another disappointed the person.
The artist herself believes that it is very nice to make a saturated surface where there was once continuous chaos.
Garcia found her inspiration in the works of Dutch artists, who have always been famous for paintings with lush flowers and fruit baskets. Considering that it is a black background that creates depth and a certain delicacy, hiding the past blemishes of previous masters, where delicate, lush, bright flowers are revealed on every centimeter.

At the moment, the collaboration with the Chicago designer Kyle Letendre in the field of textile design is organizing mobile workshops to train young artists so that they can learn and develop the unique style of the author himself.
And how do you think, can this trend be attributed to art or is it part of the subculture of society?
