Bold lines, solid color, timeless design. Traditional tattoos are built for longevity, clarity, and impact, using classic techniques that age well and hold their structure over time.
A modern evolution of classic tattooing. Neo-traditional work blends strong linework with enhanced detail, richer color palettes, and contemporary composition for bold yet expressive pieces.
Fonts matter. Spacing matters. Flow matters. Whether it’s a single word or a full script, our lettering work is carefully planned to read cleanly and age correctly on the body.
Delicate, clean, and intentional. Fine line tattoos focus on subtle detail and precision, requiring a steady hand and experienced execution to maintain clarity as the tattoo heals.
From soft realism to high-contrast designs, black and grey tattooing relies on depth, shading, and precision. Clean gradients and strong composition ensure your piece heals smoothly and stands the test of time.
