The artist in 'tattoo artist' never rung so true as it does when applied to Sasha Unisex. Her work could easily be painted on canvases and hung in galleries rather than inked permanently on flesh, yet perhaps the latter is one of the best ways to pay homage to Sasha Unisex's vision and talent. It is certainly flattering.
Based in St. Petersburg, Russia, Sasha Unisex's tattoo is in the vein of the classic Sailor Jerry style, but with a serious contemporary update. Although just as full of character and vibrancy, Sasha Unisex concentrates more on animals than women. She also adopts a watercolor-like aesthetic that is given structure by way of geometric shapes. The results are stunning.
