Tattoo styles: fine line, blackwork, realism… which one is you?

Choosing the style matters as much as choosing the design: it defines how your tattoo looks today and how it will age.

Fine line

Ultra-thin lines, delicate strokes, an elegant and discreet result. Ideal for minimalism, fine lettering and small pieces loaded with meaning.

Blackwork

Solid black, bold contrast and presence. From geometric patterns to full sleeves — a style that ages remarkably well.

Realism

Portraits, animals, textures that look like photographs. It demands a skilled artist and longer sessions, but the result is breathtaking.

Old school and neo-traditional

Thick lines, flat colours, classic iconography — anchors, swallows, roses. Neo-traditional updates it with a wider palette and more detail.

Geometric and ornamental

Symmetry, mandalas, dotwork. Pieces that converse with your anatomy and flow with the body.

How to decide?
