Thinking that there is a limit or ceiling in tattoo design is usually not a good idea, because something new always appears that leaves us speechless. If you want proof, today we fall to our knees before the talent and skill of Oleg Shepelenko, who basically melts brains with his hyperrealistic tattoos. In fact, on more than one occasion you have to look twice so as not to confuse his work with photographs.
In the past we have explored the combination of technology and tribal tattoos by Georgie Williams. We also met Andreas Vrontis, with great skill to create ASCII tattoos, and we cannot forget the great collector of other people's tattoos, Fukushi Masaichi. But what brings us together here today is hyperrealism in tattoos, courtesy of the Russian artist Oleg Shepelenko. The images we share below speak for themselves, but here is an extra fact: although he recognizes several sources of inspiration, Shepelenko is self-taught. If you want to know and see more, do not hesitate to visit his profile on Instagram.
