A tattoo discovery and booking platform. States the ignorant style originated in Paris in the 1990s with the ex-graffiti artist Fuzi Uvtpk, who moved from street art to tattooing. Describes simple sketch-like line work with typically no shading, a deliberately DIY and amateur look, and states that 'markers of good tattoos like straight lines and cohesive designs aren't really relevant to the ignorant style'.
