Woodcut Style
Woodcut printmaking is an ancient and simple form of printmaking. It would help to have an inked wood block to make woodcut images. You carve out the wood block, then lay it over an image. You rub it by hand or press it to transfer the ink onto the paper.
Woodcut prints were popular in the 15th century. People used them for religious imagery, playing cards, and other prints. Woodcut printing became more refined later. Albrecht Durer was a famous artist who improved it. He added meticulous details and an exquisite palette to his woodcut printing art.
Woodcut tattoos are a great way to add detail and depth to a tattoo. You can use any image as a starting point for a woodcut design. There are many possibilities.
