Hyper-realistic portrait tattoos from Oleg Shepelenko (26 photos)

Oleg Shepelenko, a talented self-taught tattoo artist from Rostov-on-Don, Russia, has gained international recognition for his insanely detailed portrait tattoos.

Oleg Shepelenko works at the Lucky Style tattoo parlor. He was interested in drawing back in his school years, but never studied it specifically, so he has no artistic education. But when has this ever bothered seriously passionate people?

Oleg learned the art of tattooing from lessons on YouTube, imitating other artists and developing his own style and technique along the way. The closest thing to him was hyperrealism - in this genre the artist achieved notable success and is now considered one of the best hyperrealist tattooists in the world.
