Clayton Dias, a visionary tattoo artist, who created a world of holographic-inspired designs that will leave you doing a double-take. His creations emulate the metallic sheen of authentic stickers, including vertical highlights and a vibrant rainbow spectrum of colors that dance with the light. At times, the tattoo seems to peel away from the skin, adding an extra layer of mesmerizing illusion to Dias’ exceptional work.
Dias’s journey towards holographic tattoos reflects a broader trend in the realm of body art. While his earlier stickers possessed a three-dimensional essence, they lacked the magnetic allure found in his latest pieces. The evolution of his holographic style emerged through meticulous observation and a deep dive into color studies.
Discussing his creative process, Dias shares, “The ideas came from a study of colors that I decided to apply in the form of a holographic drawing. In this style, it differs a lot from the technique I already used; it’s been very good to innovate something. A holographic tattoo requires good technique in applying colors.” Committed to continuous improvement, he adds, “I’m still studying more about different arts in holographic [technique].”
Additionally, Clayton Dias is considered one of the best “Cover Up” Artists.
