Black & Grey Realism

Black and Grey realism in tattooing focuses on the authentic representation of subjects in grayscale, emphasizing depth, shading, and contrast. This technique requires precise manipulation of light and shadow to create realistic depictions that are both striking and timeless. The artist uses their skills to craft detailed portraits, scenes, or objects that, through subtle gradients and expert shading, leave a powerful impression—achieved entirely without color, using only black and grey tones.

Color realism

Color realism tattoos focus on achieving a realistic representation of subjects with vibrant colors and precise details. These tattoos aim to replicate the natural colors of the depicted objects or motifs, resulting in visually striking and vivid tattoos. With a skillful color palette and meticulous execution, color realistic tattoos can provide a captivating visual experience and highlight the beauty of the chosen subject.
