Blackwork is a stress test for line integrity. Elena's pieces hold their density at five years because she plans for the ink migration that softens fine detail on other artists.

She spent the whole first consult telling me all the ways my idea would age badly. Then she drew something better. Six years on and it still reads the way she promised.
