Tattoo Artist Card - Open Loop Series Vol. I - Card 2/5

The Open Loop Series — Vol. I

In tattoo culture, an open loop is more than a line — it's a moment in time.

It's the unfinished stroke.
The part of a story that never got to close.
The space between what was and what is becoming.

The Open Loop Series was created for the tattoos that didn't get their final chapter the first time — and for the artists who are trusted to write it.

This collection honors the craft of cover-ups, transformations, and rebirth — where old ink becomes new meaning and past mistakes are turned into something powerful. Each card in the Open Loop Series visually captures that exact moment of transition, using a signature half-stencil / half-finished tattoo style that mirrors what happens in the chair.

One side shows where the story started.
The other shows where it's going.

Five Core Styles. One Truth.

Vol. I features five iconic tattoo archetypes — each chosen because they represent a different way people heal, express, and reclaim themselves:

• Trash Polka — chaos turned into purpose
• Watercolor — emotion without boundaries
• Sketch / Illustration — raw ideas becoming form
• Mechanical — rebuilding what was broken
• Organic — growth, flow, and natural transformation

Together, they tell the story of why people get cover-ups in the first place:
not to erase the past — but to redefine it.
