I’m Slava, a tattoo artist at INTO Tattoo Dungeon in Vienna. I focus on graphic tattoos, combining fine, engraving-inspired linework with clear contours and precise shading.
How do you adapt a design to the body?
I pay attention to anatomy, movement, and how lines and shadows work with each placement. For me, every tattoo is a dialogue between the design, the body, and the person wearing it.
Tattoo projects by Slava
Selected graphic tattoos by Slava, an artist at INTO Tattoo Dungeon in Vienna. Botanical motifs sit alongside eyes, figures and ornamental details. Some photographs show the same work from different angles.
Flower, bud and beetle
Floral tattoos ↗A flower with ruffled, finely hatched petals grows on a long stem along the arm. A bud, narrow leaves and a spotted beetle complete the composition.
Climbing flowers on the upper arm
Floral tattoos ↗Two open flowers and buds grow on winding stems across the upper arm. Veined leaves and angular branches sit alongside the rounded petals.
Flower on a long stem
Floral tattoos ↗Fine parallel lines follow the wavy petals. A long, curved stem and a folded leaf give this floral design on the arm its narrow shape.
Fern and veined organic forms
Graphic tattoos ↗A curled fern, a many-legged creature and veined organic forms fill this forearm view. Dark contours and angular branch lines connect their different textures.
Fern and insect on the forearm
Graphic tattoos ↗This view of the forearm composition shows a fern frond, a leafy sprig and a winged insect. Branch-like lines extend across the wrist onto the back of the hand.
Ornate spoon and fork
Graphic tattoos ↗An ornate spoon with a shell-shaped bowl and a fork span two forearms. Scrollwork, small wings and textured handles bring organic details into the cutlery designs.
Fantasy flower with tendrils and beetle
Floral tattoos ↗A drooping flower with speckled, pointed petals and long curling tendrils forms the central upper-arm motif. A beetle with open wings appears above it.
Eye within a spiky web
Graphic tattoos ↗An eye with a finely lined lid and textured iris sits between pointed forms. Curved web lines spread like wings above and trail into root-like strands below.
Eye with radiating lines
Graphic tattoos ↗A single eye with a hatched lid, lashes and a detailed iris sits on the inner arm. Straight lines of varying lengths radiate outward in all directions.
Jester with a skull face
Graphic tattoos ↗The jester on the leg wears a curled, multi-point cap, a ruff and a patterned costume. Its skull face, raised hands and bent leg create a dancing pose.
Two knights with crossing lances
Graphic tattoos ↗Two armoured knights on horseback hold crossing lances across the abdomen. Fine lines describe armour plates, tack, and the horses’ flowing manes and tails.
Thorny plant forms across the torso
Graphic tattoos ↗Angular thorny stems, spiky flower forms and a drooping bud extend from the chest across the abdomen. Black contours and fine hatching define the branching plant composition.
What inspires you?

I’m inspired by plants at different stages of life — withering flowers, organic forms, and the beauty of decay. I’m also drawn to mystical, dark imagery and small observations from everyday life: light, textures, and natural patterns.
