Domantas
​Straight Lines Tattoo
London

Domantas Parvainis is a Lithuanian black and grey realism tattoo artist. He has been wielding the needle for twelve years and has won several prizes for his outstanding and unique tattooing techniques. Parvainis’ biggest achievements in his career are receiving first place at the 10th London International Convention and first place at the Stockholm InkBash. 

The choice to specialise in black and grey comes from personal taste and the way he sees his art. "I see everything as a sequence of lights and darks—it does not matter what: be it an object, a face, or anything else." It is just your eyes seeing shapes with tones, and the brain understanding it as a face brings anxiety and comprehension. "That is harder to recreate," Domantis explains. His creativity derives mostly from music, art work, movie scenes, and his own imagination.
