It was wondering and exciting to designing logo and brand identity for the tattoo studio “Shaman”. It was one of my most meticulous, complicated, but beautiful projects. The logo was based on the face of tattoo-master, and my skills of portrait artist is came in handy. Head is crowned with feather headdress as shamans was depicted. Every feather was drawn carefully by hand and then converted into a vector image. The studio’s name was not chosen as random. The “Shaman” is nickname which tattoo master get in youth.

The logo turned out so stylish and cool that some clients got a tattoo with it, immortalizing it on their body.
