Jane.Tattoos
Jane Snitker, also known as Jane Tattoos is a tattoo artist based in Amsterdam and started tattooing when she was 17 years old. Jane describes her style as simplistic, goofy and timeless. Her work is mainly inspired by old-school tattooing but also other forms of art like paintings, old murals, sculptures, comics or even music and movies.
For this design, she incorporated her favorite subject to draw; women. Her trademark is a small tattoo of a naked woman; she calls this series ‘tiny ladies’. Many people walk around with these fun companions!

Dedonleon
I’m Don, an illustrator and graphic designer. In 2017, I started Dedonleon Designs while studying at the Grafisch Lyceum Utrecht. From there, I began focusing on illustrations for T-shirts, and things took off quickly.
I used to draw a lot of inspiration from traditional tattoos, but nowadays more from cartoons and simply whatever comes to mind. Especially after switching from tattoo-based designs to cartoons, things grew fast, and I’ve had the chance to work with big names like Pepsi, Johnny Knoxville, Rolling Loud, Bring Me The Horizon, and Etnies.
There are many other big names, but smaller companies are just as important. They provide a steady flow of projects. My work can be found all over the world, from restaurants to bands and clothing brands.
