Artist Takes Line Art To Next Level By Making Single Continuous Line Tattoos

Writing with a single line is hard enough – my cursive is nigh illegible – and drawing is even more so. That’s why Mo Ganji’s tattoo’s are so impressive. Animals, faces, flowers, Chewbacca – every design can be traced without lifting a finger. Such minimalist approach does make for stark, line art tattoos, though, so it might not be for folks who like their ink bright and vibrant.

Born in Tehran, Mo Ganji is of Iranian and German heritage, and lives and works in Berlin. “It is very easy to paint or draw a very fancy, detailed design” Ganji commented on minimalism in an online interview. “Anyone can add and add and add. It gets very interesting when you have a limited range of tools to work with. Creating something simple is way more challenging to me than creating something complex.”
