Tattoo Styles and Projects

I work primarily with realism, but the projects can be very different.

Realism tattoo — hyper-detailed leopard portrait View Gallery

Realism

View

Realistic tattoos require careful attention to proportions, light, shadows, and small details. I work in both color and black and grey, depending on the idea and the result we're trying to achieve.

Portrait

View

Portraits are one of my favorite types of work. The challenge is to capture not just the facial features, but also the expression and character that make a portrait recognizable.

Black and Grey

View

Black and grey gives me a lot of room to work with contrast, depth, and atmosphere. It can be a great choice for portraits and complex compositions.

Color tattoo — full-spectrum clown portrait View Gallery

Color

View

I use color when it helps bring the idea to life. Some projects need a full range of colors, while others work better with a limited palette.

Large Scale tattoo — full back piece with forest landscape View Gallery

Large Scale

View

I enjoy working on full sleeves, back pieces, and other large tattoos. These projects take more planning because the composition needs to work across a bigger area of the body.

Full sleeves tattoo — Harry Potter themed color sleeve View Gallery

Full Sleeves

View

A sleeve isn't just a collection of separate images. I prefer to approach it as one complete composition, where the elements, transitions, and overall flow all work together.
