If you need an example of less is more, look no further. Tattoo fans undoubtedly appreciate intricate designs that look more like paintings, but they're sure to love Mo Ganji's simple continuous line tattoos, too. The Iranian-born artist, who grew up and is based in Berlin, expresses his life philosophy through stunningly minimalist designs. The black tattoos appear to be drawn in one continuous line rather than from layers upon layers of ink, a technique that echoes Mo's belief in the "whole 'circle of life' thing."
As Mo explained to Tattrx, "When it comes to life, I appreciate the simple things. It is very easy to paint or draw a very fancy, detailed design. 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."
