Berlin-based Israeli tattoo artist Chaim Machlev, who wowed us with his beautiful, intricate geometric tattoos, is back with more stunning body art.
The artist, who goes by the moniker Dots to Lines, creates complex, line-based designs that weave seamlessly across the human body with fluidity and movement.
Working exclusively with black ink as “it is closer to our source than any other color”, he incorporates insects, mandalas and seismic waves, resulting in an intriguing mix of symmetrical and spiritual motifs.
The former have a strong mathematical slant, while Machlev attributes the spiritual ones to his travels through India.
Check out some of the tattoos below and view more at his website and Instagram account.
