LUCAS TABAKOV

Lucas Tabakov is the final piece to the core four at Switchblade Tattoo Club.  Having tattooed almost a decade, Tabakov has a strong traditional background with his own distinct flow to it.  He can tattoo something straight forward from his flash or draw you an intricate snake.  At the end of the day his art reclaims devotion to the fundamentals of traditional tattooing while conveying his own look and style. 

For the “DEATH AT DUSK” show Tabakov’s works include paintings, experimenting on delicate rice paper.  He would treat the paper with sizing solution and multiple tinted washes, then repeat the process over and over.  The end result produced a thicker and more substantial canvas ready for ink.
