Our continuous quest to bring you the most skilled tattoo artists from around the world takes us in Eastern Europe, more precisely in Trnava, Slovakia, the home for Bumpkin Tattoo studio, a place where tattoos are not just stamps of ink, but real works of art.
There are tattoo shops all over the world, but certain ones rank higher than others and this is the case for Bumpkin Tattoo studio. Here, a team of two formed of Richard Santay aka Richie Bumpkin, a skilled painter and tattoo artist and his girlfriend, Lucy Hudecová, who handles the tattoo designs, create awesome new school tattoos, using bright saturated inks, large “strokes”, vivid pop of colors and cartoon-like shapes and volumes. The creative duo is the proof that teamwork makes the dream work.
With a sketchy look and fun and colorful designs, the tattoos created at Bumpkin Tattoo studio manage to impress with originality and finesse of execution. More than just beautiful designs, these cartoonish tattoos are reminders of the unique stories that can be told on human skin. Inspired by animals, nature, people, feelings, emotions and of course, with a beautiful palette of colors that vibrates in their compositions, Richie and Lucy create true works of art on skin, as you can see in the image gallery below.
