Delicate Nature-Inspired Tattoos are Perfectly Placed on the Wearer’s Body

South Korean tattoo artist Le jardin de Zihwa, known simply as Zihwa, creates delicate drawings on the skin. Opting for soft black shading and thin lines produced with a single needle, her style favors subtlety with soft shading and realistic rendering. The aesthetic is fitting for her nature-inspired subject matter; the blooming florals, slithering snakes, and coy foxes recall technical drawings you might see in a textbook. Zihwa's compositions, however, makes the potentially modest drawings seem magical, and they feel like part of a fairy tale on etched skin.
