Where would you get this tattoo or something similar? I’m going to this tattoo artist and want a similar tattoo but I do not want it on my thigh. Any recommendations on where I should get it? Tattoo done by Lucidlines, Adelaide, Australia.

Sooo, it turns out that doing inktober whilst moving house with a toddler and a sinus infection is kinda impossible. Moving day is tomorrow. As soon as the dust settles i will make some kind of attempt to catch up. In the meantime here is a snake i finished off today on the most excellent human @guspatisserie. Healed snake with fresh black. Sun by @lucidlines . . . #blackwork #blackworkers #blacktattoo #adelaideartist #adelaidetattoo #linework #snake #serpent @wolfandwren

The Art of Less Is More with @lucidlines

To see more of Caitlin’s tattoo art, follow @lucidlines on Instagram.

“The science behind the process and the idea of being able to carry art around with you and transform your appearance has always intrigued me,” says 25-year-old tattoo artist Caitlin Thomas (@lucidlines). After studying graphic design, Caitlin went on to pursue illustration and the visual arts before taking an apprenticeship at a tattoo studio in Adelaide, South Australia.

“People may be surprised to learn that I only have a couple of tattoos,” she says. “Many people have the belief that all tattoo artists need to be covered, but I am trying to show that isn’t necessary anymore and that it is more about the art.”

Outside of her life as a tattoo artist, Caitlin is equally passionate about music, playing the drums in bands and writing music with friends. “Leading a double life has proven to be a tiring venture with a newfound respect for days off,” she muses. When applying for jobs, Caitlin showcased the drums she worked on with a wood-burning tool as an example of her steady line work.

Caitlin describes her style as “minimalism” and her technique is inspired by 18th and 19th century line engravings — the idea of grasping a concept or image using its basic form. “I am hoping to help create a new movement of tattooing that promotes the idea that less is more,” she says. “I do enjoy and respect the extremely detailed and colorful style of tattooing, but I just can’t deny the satisfaction of successfully portraying an image based only on line work, a single shade of ink and making use of the natural skin color that people bring in themselves.”
