SIGNATURE WORK
Rit Kit is the creator of the live leaf tattoo and is known around the world as an icon of botanical tattooing. The work comes straight from nature, without sketches: real leaves, ferns and flowers are pressed onto the skin as inked imprints and tattooed with the fresh plant close by, keeping every vein, curl and imperfection as nature made it. Each plant is composed along the natural lines of the body, so no two tattoos are ever alike. Clients bring flowers from their gardens, travels and memories, or choose from the artist's herbarium, a choice that goes by feeling, not logic. A former architect based in Berlin, Rit Kit is also the author of the botanical art book Bunga. Guest artist at The Fox Den Amsterdam on 17 – 21 November 2026.
