Fine line tattoo
01

Fine Line

Minimalist and delicate — fine line tattooing uses single or small groupings of needles to create incredibly detailed, thin-lined designs. A preference for those seeking subtle elegance that ages like a drawing on skin.

Bold, heavy, and unapologetic. Blackwork encompasses everything from intricate geometric patterns to illustrative dark art — defined by large fields of saturated black ink that command attention.

Realism

Achieving the look of a photograph on skin. This style demands immense technical skill to master the subtle gradations of light and shadow without relying on outlines — the result is haunting and permanent.

Watercolour tattoo

Watercolour

Fluid, dreamy, and painterly. Watercolour tattoos mimic the soft bleeds and washes of the medium — blurring edges, layering transparency, and capturing movement.

Neo-Traditional

The bridge between old and new — Neo-Traditional retains the bold outlines of American Traditional but introduces a richer, more varied palette and illustrative detail drawn from Art Nouveau and Art Deco.
