Abstract Colors

Not a lot of tattoo artists are able to complete such great abstract color tattoos because of the high level of complexity. Just understanding the blending technique and 3-D aspect of such tattoos is extremely difficult. Nick Baxter has successfully mastered the color blending when it comes to tattooing to near realism, even though in some cases the chosen art style by the customer will be more of a fantasy style of work. Nick's art revolves around spiritualism and the links between human being and other animals and wild-life, his art has a strong connection to the natural aspect of the world using vibrant colors that bring out each piece. What sets Nick aside from your every-day tattoo artist is that he doesn't only trace out the tattoo on your skin; he understands the depth and complexity associated with the incorporation of color blending.

Nick was born 1981 in Connecticut and lived in New Haven up until 2008 where he had moved to Texas. Throughout school his passion was always complementing the creative aspects of the human brain which lead him to particularly be interested in tattooing since there are endless types and techniques. In 2010 he began his career in the tattooing industry and up until now he has been featured in every top tattoo magazines from around the world including other publications. Not only has he been featured in such great publications but he also created a book of his own in 2008, "Sharp-Focus Realism In Oil". This book includes his gallery of oil paintings within the past decade and instructional oil-painting text. In this book Nick teaches you how to smooth out oil paintings to make them look more rich and professional, also teaching beginner tattoo artists needing to learn tricks and pointers which Nick has learned over his course of being in the industry. Nick holds exhibitions where he not only shows off his art for tattoos, but also for oil paintings. Nick is also a member of the "International Guild of Realism" which is a group that achieves advanced realism through art of all types. At the end of the day, all art is intended to come alive, and be visualized as something real. Incorporating all of what Nick has learned through the guild, and just his oil painting experience alone, gratifies him with great skill and technique when it comes to tattooing. Nick's success in tattooing has been granted through his technique and skills developed through his other art such as his profession in oil painting, from which all the use of abstract colors come from.
