Introducing Idexa, one of seven talented female tattoo artists at Black and Blue Tattoo.
Idexa, a native of German that moved to San Francisco in 1991.
To Idexa tattooing means of self-transformation through art. For her the art of tattooing is a way of making the outside of the body look more the way it feels from the inside. Idexa is especially interested in tattoo as a personal and spiritual experience. She has a individual and unique style. Her customers agree that Idexa is appreciated for her attention to detail and customer’s individual needs.
Idexa’s talent and creativity is known internationally. She is a versatile tattoo artist. Her speciality is within black work, geometric patterns, scientific imagery and organically inspired designs. Idexa has worked in a variety of formats but finds working on skin the most satisfying, as only tattooing allows her to work with the unique forms of each body.
Her area of focus when it comes to tattoos is a technique called branding. Branding with the electrocautery method is when you uses a pen-like tool containing a red-hot, exchangeable tip. This technique has a higher accuracy: One traces the design over a stencil, similarly to tattooing. This technique is the most exact, and offers the most control, to do a consistent depth and width of burn.
