sarahlu – I AM S A R A H L U

Hello!

HELLO!
I AM...
SARAH LU

TATTOOING BY HAND IS THE OLDEST METHOD OF TATTOOING - WITH A HISTORY THAT DATES AS FAR BACK AS CAVE-MAN TIMES.

THROUGHOUT HISTORY & TO THIS VERY DAY, WE HAVE ADORNED OUR BODIES WITH PERMANENT MARKINGS.

UNTIL ELECTRICITY WAS INVENTED, WE COULD ONLY MAKE THESE MARKINGS BY HAND USING VARIOUS HOMEMADE TOOLS - FROM SHARK TEETH TO HUMAN BONE.

WHAT CAN BE CREATED WHEN THESE BASIC TOOLS COLLIDE WITH SKIN, IS A VERY EXCITING PLACE TO BE!

I AM SARAH LU & I AM ARMED WITH JUST A NEEDLE & CHOPSTICK, AND NO ELECTRICITY...

I SIMPLY HAND-POKE INK INTO THE SKIN TO CREATE SOLID LINE-WORK, TONES AND TEXTURES.

MY ILLUSTRATIONS COMBINE BEAUTY WITH A DARK TWIST.

MY ARTWORK IS EITHER CUSTOM DESIGNED FOR MY CLIENT, OR A CREATION FROM MY EVER CHURNING & OVER-ACTIVE IMAGINATIVE MIND.

ARMED WITH JUST A NEEDLE & CHOPSTICK, AND NO ELECTRICITY...

- SARAH LU HAND POKES INK INTO SKIN. HER ILLUSTRATIONS COMBINE BEAUTY WITH A TWIST, TO CREATE BESPOKE DESIGNS THAT ARE INDIVIDUALLY UNIQUE TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF HER CLIENTS.

ALL ORIGINAL ARTWORK BY SARAH LU

EVERYTHING YOU SEE HERE HAS BEEN TATTOOED BY HAND, WITHOUT THE AID OF A MACHINE. HAND POKING IS ONE OF THE OLDEST WAYS OF TATTOOING.

THIS TECHNIQUE PRODUCES GREAT DETAIL AND TEXTURE.
