With just the right amount of ink to balance lighting and shading, Sergio Sanchez tattoos figures from Da Vinci to Galileo in sculptural accuracy on his clients’ bodies. It looks like he was chipping away on blocks of stone. His monochromatic photo-realist style is a clear connection to his pencil and charcoal drawings, as he is also an established fine artist and teacher in California.
