cars take on the role of the human body, turning into a canvas where the artist can apply his intricate artwork. with an engraving technique, the car’s owner can get a full-body tattoo, or simply decorate its vehicle on smaller parts, like on the hook, side mirrors, or door handles.  all images by rohan izawa
