The Journal — Vol. 01 / Styles
Pick the style that fits the piece you have in mind. Each of our artists works across multiple styles — we’ll match you with the right one once you reach out.
01 — Style Feature
Smooth gradients, fine shading, and timeless contrast. Black & grey is the foundation of modern realism — built on patient layering and a deep understanding of how ink reads on skin over decades, not seasons.
It’s our go-to for portraits, animals, and any piece where mood and depth matter more than colour. Done well, a black & grey tattoo reads as clearly at twenty years as it does at twenty days.

Lifelike portraits and objects rendered with depth, light, and detail. From pets to people to nature — captured the way you remember them.
Realism asks for reference photos, careful planning, and longer sessions. The reward is a piece that holds its own next to the moment that inspired it.

Bold outlines, solid colour, and iconic imagery. Built on the foundations of American traditional tattooing — designed to age beautifully.
Eagles, daggers, roses, swallows — the vocabulary is timeless on purpose. Heavy line work and saturated colour keep traditional pieces sharp for a lifetime.
