These days, more and more people seem to be coming round to the fact that tattoos are works of art.

We’re spending more time looking up artists and researching exactly what we want, rather than just getting sanskrit inked on a whim.

Saying that, a lot of inkings can still look quite generic.

But if you want something really unique and beautiful, then you might want to check out the work of Niels Kiené, AKA Salventius.

He’s famous for his single stroke portraits, which he executes in a whole load of different materials – from wire and flashlights to pen and paint.

And now he’s now turned to creating one-of-a-kind single line tattoos.

The Dutch artist’s tattoo gun never leaves the skin when he’s doing these portraits which celebrate the spontaneous.

‘The end result is even more perfect than I imagined,’ he tells Konbini.

‘You know, it’s all about the saying, “in the end, everything is okay, so if it is not okay, then it’s not the end.

‘The continuous one line technique reflects life at its best. Don’t stop until it’s perfect and a mistake can turn out to be something wonderful as long as you go with the flow and trust your skills.’
