    Fractal Tattoo Artwork

    Fractals – visual patterns based on naturally occurring mathematical alogrithms. The self-replicating forms can be found on earth as in space, squinted at under a microscope as through a telescope. And they’re beautiful.

    Adal has been creating fractals, on canvas, paper, and skin, since he started making art. For him, the pull lies in the process: of translating perpetual movement into static visuals, and of translating nature into art. At the end, these organic forms find their perfect state on the human body, an organic alliance of the natural and the superficial, and a way of creating anatomically fit tattoos. And they’re beautiful.

  • Adal vs. Adele

    Adal vs. Adele

    adele

    Adal: pronounced “ah-dell,” a common nickname of “Adalberto.” It’s the same way singer-songwriter Adele says her name, which is perhaps why you were tempted to write “ele” the first time you sang Adal’s praises in that letter to your friend about your new tattoo.

    (We may not be belting ballads on the radio, but we admire Adele and would be thrilled to do as much for the art world as she has).

    Adal has faced frequent misunderstanding throughout his life as the result of the unconventional spelling of his name. Hardly the man to bow to adversity, he has powered through the confusion, harnessing it in the development of his distinctive artistic style. Language can be a tricky game to play: that’s why we stick to visuals. If a picture is worth a thousand words, how many is a tattoo worth?

    Round one of two on this condor wing chest tattoo. While a lot of tattoos can be completed in one session, it’s not uncommon to hold multiple sessions during which details can be refined.

    We covered a lot of space on this guy’s sleeve during the first session; next session we’ll focus on shading and line detail.
