What 1 Tattoo Artist Does With Plants Will Blow Your Mind

When thinking of ideas for new ink, it's common to reference nature for inspiration. Botanical tattoos are one of the easiest and most elegant etchings to color onto your skin. But Ukranian tattoo artist Rit Kit has taken basic bouquet tattoos to the next level by creating permanent replicas of real plants.

Instead of marking skin with an animated print, Rit Kit brings the actual shrub to life by capturing the most organic shape of a flower or leaf. She covers plants in tattoo ink and then presses them onto her client's skin. Then, she colors in the stencil with shades inspired by the blooming and collapsing nature of plants. Her finished products are insanely detailed copies of different flowers that look incredibly lifelike.

Rit Kit shares her tattoo masterpieces with nearly 15,000 followers on Instagram and told Illusion that as a nature-lover, her creations are a natural and bold way to capture her fascination. Scroll through to swoon at some of her most incredible botanical designs.
