Andrey Lukovnikov is a highly skilled tattoo artist originally from Wroclaw, Poland, though his cultural roots and upbringing are tied to Ukraine. He has gained international acclaim for his distinctive approach to body art, specifically his mastery of the double exposure technique. This style involves layering two or more distinct images within a single silhouette, creating a complex and narrative visual experience that mirrors the look of digital photo manipulation or sophisticated graphic design. His work often features organic subjects such as insects, birds, and flowers, which serve as the primary outlines for internal landscapes or intricate floral patterns.

Lukovnikov utilizes a vibrant color palette and sharp, clean lines to give his pieces a polished and modern aesthetic. By juxtaposing different elements of nature, he invites viewers to look closer at the intersections between various life forms. His ability to translate a multidimensional concept onto the skin requires meticulous planning and a deep understanding of composition and color theory. Rather than following traditional motifs, he pushes the boundaries of the medium by treating the human body as a canvas for experimental illustration.

Throughout his career, Lukovnikov has become a prominent figure in the modern tattooing community, frequently appearing at international conventions and participating in guest spots across Europe. His portfolio is characterized by a seamless blend of realism and surrealism, making his tattoos instantly recognizable. He continues to influence aspiring artists by demonstrating how digital art principles can be effectively applied to the permanent craft of tattooing.
