This New School Artist is Redefining Kawaii Cute with Black and Gray
Kawaii style, a variation of the New School and traditional genres, is a tattoo style that has become increasingly popular over the last several years.

That’s right, pretty pastels are no longer a mandatory part of these tattoos, and Rutherford serves up a new perspective with black and gray ink.
