Ant the Elder’s tattoo work is multi-faceted but always comes from a place of service. Ant the Elder’s interest lies in the creation of tattoos that are fit for the body and the mind of the wearer, within the realm of the aesthetic language that their 15+ years of experience helped develop. Their expertise is rooted in sigil crafting, black work, ornamental, (art) history references, print making techniques emulations (woodcut, etching, engraving etc.), architecture and naturalist illustrations to name a few.

A tattoo being more than the simple application of an image onto the skin, the inter-dynamic at play throughout the whole process is taken into account. The psychological and cultural aspect of this practice is well understood and acknowledged with every single piece.

Ant the Elder has been tattooing professionally  full time since 2010.
