Some people say that if you don’t know much about something, your knowledge could fit on the back of a postage stamp. But for tattoo artist Ash Aurich, that tiny space is the perfect canvas for intricate, art-inspired ink.
Using fine line techniques and delicate shading, Aurich transforms miniature tattoos into tiny masterpiece tattoos, often inspired by Renaissance and Baroque art. Each piece is framed by the scalloped edges of a postage stamp, making it look like a collectible work of art.
Aurich’s love for classic paintings led her to bring art history tattoos to life in a whole new way. “I wanted to capture the essence of these masterpieces in a unique and engaging way,” she shares. “Tattooing these designs for fellow art lovers is incredibly rewarding.”
Her work often features dramatic and symbolic figures from artists like Caravaggio and Vermeer. She’s drawn to the way they mastered light, shadow, and human anatomy—elements that translate beautifully into tattoo form. More than just decoration, each piece carries a story and emotion that resonates with the wearer, even at such a small scale.
Currently working at Atelier Eva in New York City, Aurich is now accepting bookings for March and April. While she offers a selection of flash designs, she also creates custom pieces for those looking for something truly personal.
