Fine Line
Delicate, thin linework with intricate detail. Perfect for botanical, portrait, and ornamental designs. Uses single-needle technique for ultra-precise results.
Geometric
Sacred geometry, mandalas, and mathematical patterns. Clean lines and precise symmetry create visually striking abstract designs.
Japanese (Irezumi)
Traditional Japanese tattoo art featuring dragons, koi, cherry blossoms, and mythological figures. Known for flowing compositions and rich symbolism.
Tribal
Bold black patterns inspired by Polynesian, Maori, and indigenous art. Strong graphic impact with cultural significance and flowing organic forms.
Watercolor
Painterly splashes, color bleeds, and soft gradients that mimic watercolor paintings. Often combined with fine line outlines for a mixed-media effect.
Realism
Photorealistic portraits, animals, and scenes rendered with incredible detail. Black-and-grey or full color, these tattoos look like photographs on skin.
Blackwork
Bold, solid black designs ranging from ornamental patterns to large-scale graphic pieces. Includes dotwork, linework, and solid fill techniques.
Minimalist
Simple, clean designs with maximum impact. Small symbols, single-line drawings, and subtle placement. Less is more — perfect for first tattoos.
Neo-Traditional
Evolution of American Traditional with more detail, broader color palettes, and illustrative techniques while keeping bold outlines.
Old School (Traditional)
Classic American tattoo style with bold outlines, limited color palettes, and iconic imagery — anchors, eagles, roses, and pin-ups.
Cyber Sigilism
Modern digital-age style with sharp angular patterns, circuit-like designs, and futuristic symbols. The cutting edge of tattoo culture.
Neo Tribal
Contemporary reinterpretation of tribal motifs with modern design sensibilities. Combines traditional patterns with abstract geometry.
