Tattoos Styles explained

CUSTOM TATTOOS: A custom tattoo is a tattoo that is designed especially for you, some call these bespoke tattoo designs. A custom tattoo covers a multitude of categories, some of these are listed below.

 

 

 

 

 

COVER-UP TATTOOS: A cover-up tattoo is an old or bad tattoo that you no longer want, which is then covered and disguised with a new tattoo. When this tattoo has healed you should not be able to see where the old tattoo was.

​

BLACK AND GREY TATTOOS: Are exactly what they say they are -just black and grey tattoos of any design you want and very effective.  Sometimes with a black and grey piece it works really to well to add a splash of colour.

​

DOTWORK TATTOOS: Dotwork tattoos are any design you choose made up of dots, sometimes some line work is added to this, the design should still remain mainly dots.

​

ORNAMENTAL TATTOOS: Ornamental tattoos would include such designs as mandala tattoo designs, dotwork, beads and flowers on top of pattern designs, foxes in hats etc. 

​

REALISTIC TATTOOS: Not to be confused with 'realism'. Realistic tattoos are a close representation of the subject matter.

 

REALISM TATTOOS: Realism tattoos are the artists true to life representation of the subject you would like tattooed as life like as possible.​

​

REWORK TATTOOS: A rework tattoo is exactly what it says, an old tattoo or a tattoo that needs putting right - reworking.
