His goal is to create tattoos that look organic and harmonious on the body. This Israeli born artist Chaim Machlev has been living in Berlin for many years and feels like he is part of this city. He is sought-after for his developed style of fluid line art and intricate geometric patterns that are partially inked with a stippling technique. All of his designs are impressively tattooed on his clients with great precision and skill.

The bird tattoo (at top) is a collaborative design by Chaim Machlev and Xoïl.
