If you really wish for a tattoo that follows the illustrative black & gray aesthetic or realism, George Baker is the artist that is able to skyrocket it!
He began his journey at Sake Tattoo Crew in 2011, and never ceases to elevate his art.
What did inspire George Baker to start drawing? Comics, video games, his studies in the School of Fine Arts, and the top artists he admires, of course.
He strongly believes that if you work among people that inspire you, you can get better every day, but also be constantly on the lookout for new ideas.
A skull-shaped mug surrounded by marshmallows, a steaming hot chocolate, and a cookie taking a dip in its “jacuzzi.” This grayscale digital artwork captures the warmth of Christmas with a playful, dark twist. Swipe to explore the details up close.

This tattoo features a jellyfish extending across the outer side of the arm. The tentacles were freehanded with a marker to flow naturally toward the elbow, creating a dynamic sense of movement. Completed in a single session

🦝 The second piece of my Japanese-style animal series is here! This raccoon, dressed in a detailed kimono and holding a sword, feels like the perfect companion to the panda I recently created.
Both designs are painted with watercolors, blending traditional elements with personal imagination.
The raccoon carries a warrior-like aura, while the panda suggests artistry with its mask. Their exact roles are yours to imagine—what story do you see?
Do you enjoy these kinds of designs, the watercolor technique, or the Japanese-inspired theme? I’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas for future projects!

From the first line to the final brushstroke, here’s the making of a raccoon in Japanese style! Dressed in a kimono with traditional patterns and mysterious details—monk, warrior, or both? 🤔
Part of a larger project, paired with the panda design, these two animals are ready to «live» in the same world.
What do you think of the idea of turning them into art prints? Would you hang them on your wall?
Technique: Watercolors & brushes

A unique tattoo completed during the first days of the Athens Tattoo Expo! The face is split into several pieces, with a skull emerging from within. It was a demanding project placed on the calf and part of a larger project that will eventually cover the entire leg.
Working with the client was great, as always, and they were very pleased with the final result.

This design reflects the duality of existence—life and death. The pomegranate, with its seeds, symbolizes life, while the skull represents the inevitable end. From the first pencil stroke to its final form, this piece was created on the iPad using a pencil-custom brush for more natural feel. Free your mind, and you can view it through your own lens. What comes to mind when you see this design?

Three days of intense work led to this black & grey tattoo, inspired by a mysterious shipwreck and the mythical kraken. The tentacles of the beast wrap around the ship, capturing its final moments at sea. From the first sketch to the final tattoo, this was a journey full of challenges that were worth every minute.

Can you spot all the little details in this piece?
Inspired by Klimt’s iconic ‘The Kiss’ but with a twist… Instead of a woman, the man is holding a cat, and let’s just say the cat doesn’t look too pleased about it! 😾
With scattered cat toys, toppled vases, and food bowls on the ground, there’s a bit of feline chaos happening here.
📸 Swipe through to catch all the details and tell me, can you relate to the mess a cat can create?
Tag a friend who lives with a cat and knows all about that feline indifference!

What happens when you mix Klimt’s ‘The Kiss’ with your not-so-affectionate cat? The result is a humorous twist every cat lover will understand! 🎨🐱 From the first pencil stroke to the final detail, this cat… well, she’s not exactly thrilled with all the cuddles. 😾

This is just one piece of a larger sleeve project that I’m currently working on. The design features a man with half a knight’s mask, representing the duality of everyday life—the face we show to the world versus who we really are beneath the mask.
Each detail holds its own meaning, and there’s much more to discover within the design. I’ll be sharing more of this project soon, so stay tuned for the full reveal.
Working on such unique ideas is always a rewarding challenge!

🗡️ The beginning of a larger project. This design is the first piece of a sleeve that I’m working on with my client, whose ideas consistently challenge my art. A face with half a knight’s mask, symbolizing the fine line between who we are and who we must be.
If you look closely, every accessory tells its own story, each element hiding more than what meets the eye. In due time, I’ll share the full project with you.
I’m always open to working on such challenging pieces that combine imagination with symbolism.
