TATTOO STYLES
Fine Art
"Fine Art" is a combination of realism and fine line with a heavy influence from the painting style baroque. With this style, we use the contours and curves of your body to create a composition with the subject and background that compliments your body. This may be done in color or black and grey.
If you are looking for something very unique that compliments your body, this is your style.
Delicate Fine Line
"Delicate Fine Line" is becoming more and more popular. The usual subjects for this style are flowers, foliage, and animals. With this style, if you have more space available it is better. Because the composition of these pieces are primarily based off of the perons' natural body lines. If you try to fit too much in a space, it will just look cluttered. So having a bigger area available is always better as you are able to compliment your body lines better and more continously.
If you are looking for a delicate femanine tattoo that accentuates your body. This is the style for you.
Although, this style is chosen by a lot of women, it is a cool style for men as well. It just takes a few adjustments to the design to make it look more masculine.
Realism
"Realism" is simply making the tattoo look as it is seen in real life. This is a timeless style, that won't ever go out of date. Although, the goal is to get it exactly as it is in real life or a picture, adjustments usually do have to be made so that it may translate better into a tattoo. Such as contrast, light source, and using weighted lines to create certain effects to help the tattoo keep it's shape over time.
If you are looking to memorialize someone/something or looking for a timeless detailed piece, then this is your style.
Microrealism
"Microrealism" is realism that is done within a small area. Microrealism tattoos can be as small as 1"x1" to 6"x4". Although the tattooed area is small, these tattoos take just as much or sometimes more time than a regular realism piece. Because precision is of utmost important and being able to find a good balance of simplying yet keeping a lot of detail within the piece, it just takes time. Microrealism pieces are one of the easist pieces to make look bad, but done well it is an amazing piece you can enjoy on your body for the rest of your life.
If you are looking for a small but detailed piece you want to enjoy looking at and admiring all the details, this is the style for you.
