The Realism Tattoo Style

The uniqueness of this tattoo style lies in its ability to mimic real-life images on the skin.

Realism is a versatile way of art as it can capture various designs and immortalise whatever resonates with you. What sets this tattoo style apart is the skill and technique required. Much like a topographic map, realism relies on the interplay of shadows, highlights, and contrasts to craft depth and dynamic movement, culminating in a striking 3D effect.

The realism style can be influenced by various artistic genres, including colour, abstract, pop art, illustration, and the amazing black and grey.

Portraits and Characters: From beloved icons to cherished loved ones, our artists can immortalise them in stunning detail.

Flowers: Capturing various plants and flowers' delicate beauty and intricate details.

Animals: Captivate with realistic depictions of your different animals; common designs include pets, tigers, bears or your favourite animal.

Natural Scenes: Transform landscapes or scenic elements into captivating body art.

Realistic Tattoo Placement Ideas

Choosing the perfect placement for your realism tattoo is important. As a recommendation, the tattoo should be placed where it can be admired without too much distortion caused by body curves or movements.

Consider placing it on flatter surfaces like the upper back, chest, or forearms. However, depending on the elements of the tattoo, you can also consider getting a realism tattoo sleeve or a realism leg sleeve.

If you are unsure of the placement, trust your tattoo artist to help you choose the best spot for your piece.
