Clean Solid Tattoo Designs by Robert Aalbers - Vol. 2

Clean Solid Tattoo Designs — Vol. 2

For tattooers who care about clean decisions and designs that hold at tattoo distance, Clean Solid Tattoo Designs — Vol. 2 by Robert Aalbers is a serious studio reference. Built around clarity, contrast, and strong shape, it is the kind of book you return to when you want your drawings to read better.

Following Clean Solid Tattoo Designs — Vol. 1, this second volume continues Aalbers’ approach to bold, solid tattoo design: strong silhouettes, clear structure, and ideas that translate well from page to skin. It is designed for daily use — flip for solutions, study the decisions, and sharpen your own judgment through repetition.

What you’ll use it for

• Readability: designs that hold up small and large
• Shape and contrast: stronger silhouettes, clearer decisions, and better balance
• Negative space: using open areas to make the design breathe and read
• Studio reference: building a stronger library of clean, solid tattoo design ideas

Part of the series

Clean Solid Tattoo Designs is built as an ongoing series. Vol. 2 pairs naturally with Clean Solid Tattoo Designs — Vol. 1 , which is currently sold out but remains a useful reference for the look and feel of the series.
