Illustrative
To Russ Abbott, an illustrative style tattoo contains a mixture of line weights, an expansive color palette, and features an interesting combination of subject matter. The illustrative style sits on the fence between realism and traditional styles- borrowing a bit from both to yield a tattoo style with some fancy effects that still retains the contrast and longevity that makes traditional style stand out.
Presented here as a look back at Abbott’s long career, the tattoos in this collection span from as early as 2004 until present day. Current clients should bear in mind that Russ Abbott currently only takes on large-scale projects such as full arm and leg sleeves, full back or full front, and entire body suits.
