Style guide
A short description of each style and what to bring to a consult. One artist can list several styles, so the 179 listings below cover fewer individual artists. To book, open a style, pick an artist and send a custom tattoo request; flash designs in a style can be booked directly.
23 artists
Thin single-needle lines with little or no shading: minimalist florals, script, small symbols and micro designs. Bring the exact text or reference you want, note the placement, and expect the artist to advise on a minimum size so the lines age cleanly.
11 artists
Soft color washes and painterly edges, with or without a black outline. Bring reference images that show the colors you like and say whether you want an outline; the artist plans saturation and contrast around your skin tone and placement.
15 artists
Photographic detail rendered from reference photos — portraits, animals, objects and nature — in black & grey or color. Bring sharp, well-lit, high-resolution photos; large pieces are usually quoted as multiple sessions.
27 artists
Black ink and diluted grey wash, from soft shading to solid blackwork, used across realism, illustrative and ornamental designs. Bring references that show the tone you want (smoky versus solid) and mention any single accent color up front.
9 artists
Faces and pets drawn from your own photos, from small memorial pieces to sleeves. Bring several clear photos where the subject fills the frame and is not in shadow; the artist picks the one that reads best at your size.
4 artists
Sharp, symmetrical, sigil-like linework in solid black, drawn to follow the spine, sternum, forearms or hands. Bring your placement and any shapes you like; the design is drawn to your anatomy rather than copied from a sheet.
13 artists
Realism at a small scale — tiny portraits, flowers, objects and animals meant to read from a few inches away. Bring one clear reference photo and your placement; the artist will set a minimum size so detail survives healing.
9 artists
Decorative geometry, dotwork, mandalas and jewelry-like patterns that wrap the body. Bring photos of the area (and any existing tattoos nearby) since ornamental work is fitted to placement and often finalized on the day.
10 artists
Bold black outlines, a limited color palette and classic motifs, including neo-traditional variations. Bring the motif and any banner text you want; traditional designs also appear on our flash sheets and can be booked directly.
8 artists
Mid-century sailor flash: heavy black, red and yellow, and iconic imagery such as swallows, daggers, roses and anchors. Bring the classic design you want and say what to change — text, colors or details — in the request.
14 artists
Anime, manga and cartoon characters with clean lines and cel-style color, either faithful to the source or in the artist's own hand. Bring the specific frames or character sheets you like and state whether you want color or black & grey.
2 artists
Crayon and pastel textures: visible stroke marks, soft edges and layered color, usually without a hard outline. Bring color references and a rough size; texture needs some room, so the artist may suggest going slightly larger.
6 artists
Ink-brush and Chinese ink work — calligraphic strokes, splashes and negative space — for dragons, koi, landscapes and characters. Bring the exact characters or text if any; the artist confirms spelling and meaning before tattooing.
21 artists
Full-color work across styles, from illustrative pieces to color realism. Bring references that show the palette you want; darker, saturated colors last longest, and the artist will balance the palette with longevity in mind.
7 artists
Reworking or hiding an existing tattoo with a new design planned around it — usually darker, denser and larger than the original. Bring clear photos of the existing tattoo plus your idea; the artist replies with what is realistic.
