Dor Dlugatch’s Japanese Vol. 2 stamp set for Procreate represents an understanding of subjects and motifs informed by the cultural spread of Japanese tattooing across the world. During a meeting at Ink Donkey Tattoo in Tel Aviv, Israel, Russ Abbott of Tattoo Smart was impressed by Dor's inexhaustible artistic effort, with walls covered in his original American traditional and Japanese hand painted designs. Dor, along with his mentor Alexey, demonstrated a refined understanding of foundational tattoo design aesthetic that sparked the idea of a Tattoo Smart collaboration.Russ asked Dor to focus that drive to create and his understanding of the Japanese tattoo vocabulary to create this foundational set of stamps for Procreate.Dor’s Japanese Vol. 2 stamp set presents a range of elements that are recognizably, albeit simplified, Japanese. They can be used with the confidence that they conform to the aesthetic standards of Japanese designs, and are flexible enough to compliment nearly any tattooer’s Japanese toolkit. Each of the elements in the set work equally well in small tattoos as they do added to larger compositions. Featuring popular Japanese animal tattoo subjects like koi, kingu, namazu, puffer fish, as well as flowers and leaves, iconic masks, and symbolic oni, dragon heads, and lucky hammers, Japanese Vol. 2 is an excellent opportunity for you to make your own aesthetic choices with these classic motifs from the Japanese tattoo lexicon. Don't miss the complete Tattoo Smart Japanese collection including Volume 1, Volume 3, and Volume 4!
