Every style. One hand.

Fineline

Lines barely thicker than a hair. Delicate, precise, often small.

• Line weight in the range of single needles, hardly any filled areas
• Black or shades of grey, occasionally a single colour accent

Realistic

Designs that look like photographs. With light, shadow and depth.

• Soft shading instead of outlines
• Wide range of grey or colour tones

Lettering

Names, dates, quotes. From delicate handwriting to bold script.

• From fineline cursive and serif fonts to Chicano script and Old English
• Designed individually for you instead of a standard computer font

Mandala

Symmetrical patterns of lines, dots and solid areas. Calm and precise.

• Strict symmetry around a centre point
• Combination of lines, dotwork and solid areas

Chicano

Black & grey with soft transitions, script lettering and classic designs.

• Black & grey, worked in shades of grey with soft gradients
• Flowing script and Old English lettering

Portrait

People and animals who matter to you. Recognisable right down to the look in their eyes.

• Realistic rendering of faces
• Black & grey or colour

Cover-up

An old tattoo that no longer fits becomes one you're happy to wear again.

• The new design is built around the old one
• The cover-up is usually bigger and darker than the old tattoo

Black patterns with meaning. From classic tribal to the Polynesian sleeve.

• Deep black areas and clean, bold lines
• Patterns that follow the muscles and curves of the body

Blackwork

Black, and done properly. Large areas, hard contrast, strong impact.

• Pure black, filled areas instead of shading
• Graphic, illustrative or ornamental designs

Bold lines, clear colours, designs with history. Bold will hold.

• Bold, even black outlines
• Limited palette: red, yellow, green, blue, black

Neo Traditional

Old school, taken further. More colour, more depth, more detail.

• Bold outlines in varying line weights
• Rich colours with gradients and depth

Japanese

Koi, dragon, wave. Big images that flow across the whole body.

• Large main designs: koi, dragon, tiger, hannya, phoenix, samurai
• Background of waves, clouds and wind that ties everything together

Geometric & Dotwork

Lines, shapes, dots. Precision where every millimetre counts.

• Precise linework: parallel lines, circles, polygons
• Dotwork: shading made of single dots

Watercolor

Colour as if painted with a brush. Gradients, splashes, lightness.

• Soft colour gradients and deliberately bleeding edges
• Colour splashes and brush strokes as a design element
