While sensual tattoos are not all the artist 'Silly Jane' creates, they are certainly one of the main focuses of her work.

The tattoo artist works temporarily for studios across Europe and specializes in creating erotic tattoos that have "dark" themes. Most of her chosen subjects are women, however the artist is able to reflect these women in a way that is both erotic and empowering. Much of the artist's work is centered around raven-haired women who are placed in unconventional settings -- including surrounded by snakes or tied up in a bondage position.

These sensual tattoos are created for people looking for [body art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specialbuy-temporary-tattoos) that defies both [tattoo norms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inked-out) as well as societal ones.
