A contemporary evolution of classic styles, Neo-Traditional tattoos are known for their lush, vibrant colors and intricate details, drawing on Art Nouveau and Art Deco influences for a fresh, dimensional aesthetic.
Fine Line tattoos are renowned for their precision and subtlety, utilizing single or minimal needles for intricate designs, spanning from minimalist art to detailed micro-realism, creating tattoos that are both understated and complex.
Realism tattoos capture lifelike details and textures, from the softness of skin to the glint of light on water, using precise shading and color to mimic photographs and artworks, bridging art and ink with astounding accuracy.
Ranging from photorealistic images to traditional work to fine line illustrations, this work often features gradations of black to achieve a striking, dimensional effect and offers a timeless aesthetic that emphasizes form, shadow, and the nuances of light.
Spanning multiple tattooing styles, color tattoos showcase the artist’s skill in blending and layering colors, from the bright and bold of traditional and neo-traditional to the attention-grabbing hues of new school.
Script & Lettering tattoos range from elegant, flowing cursive to stark, impactful block letters, offering endless customization for personal messages, names, or quotes as stand-alone art or embedded within a broader piece.
Floral tattoos span a wide array, from delicate, fine-line blossoms to bold, abstract interpretations, often symbolizing growth, beauty, and ever-changing nature of life, featuring everything from hyper-realistic roses to fine-line illustrations of flowers of all kinds.
Also known as Irezumi or Horimono, this traditional style is celebrated for embodying natural, cultural, and folklore symbols such as dragons, koi fish, samurais, waves, peonies, and tigers, weaving intricate narratives into each piece.
American Traditional tattoos are characterized by bold black outlines, a limited but vibrant color palette, and recurring motifs such as eagles, anchors, and mermaids, deeply rooted in early 20th-century sailor culture.
Geometric tattoos offer visual harmony through symmetry and balance, featuring designs that range from minimalist lines to intricate mandalas, sometimes drawing on various traditions of sacred geometry that imbue the art with spiritual and symbolic dimensions.
Drawing inspiration from a wide range of artistic movements, Illustrative tattoos are defined by their detailed and expressive linework, capturing everything from nature to abstract designs, with a distinct ‘drawn on’ feel.
Originating from the Mexican American culture of the mid-20th century, these tattoos are known for their detailed black and gray shading and fine line detail, incorporating symbols from folklore, religious imagery, and portraits of family members and cultural figures.
Characterized by its vibrant colors, New School tattoos bring a cartoonish flair with exaggerated features, bold lines, and dynamic shading, reflecting pop culture and street art influences.
