Ukraine-born artist Stanislava Pinchuk, who goes by the nickname ‘Miso’, does minimalistic homemade tattoos for her friends.
Her designs primarily feature wildflowers, constellations or arrows with clean-cut lines and slick patterns.
And she inks her friends without monetary returns.
Instead, a trade system takes place. In exchange for the chic and stylish tattoos, her friends could reciprocate with something personal or meaningful.
According to an interview with yellowtrace, Miso said, “So far, I’ve really just kept it as a trade system, and only for friends—it’s too important and intimate for me to take money for, at this stage. A trade for what someone feels it’s worth—maybe they teach me a skill in return, cook me dinner, give me a book I would love, assistant work, whiskey. You never know, but everyone feels good about it, which I like. But more and more, I feel like it’s becoming a bigger part of my practice.”
Head on over to her Instagram for more awesome designs.
