Welcome to the old school digital age!
Meet Andres Vrontis, a tattoo artist that has made the difficult and painstaking task of tattooing even more intense. Vrontis has perfected the art of taken a conventional portrait, turning it into a piece of ASCII art and then meticulously tattooing that image on to your body.
You don’t know what ASCII is? Yes, you do. It’s the abbreviation for American Standard Code for Information Interchange — that series of numbers and letters that somehow communicated from one computer to another that you want to print out your French History paper or log onto that new porn site you heard about!
His works is amazing and the execution flawless. Check out these 20 breathtaking tattoos!
