Mono-chromatic black & grey

Style Focus: Hyper-realistic, dimensional, and dramatic artwork—entirely in black and grey tones.

  • Needle Use: Uses a combination of large and small needle groupings for soft shading, gradients, and smooth blends.

  • Design Characteristics: Highly detailed, often lifelike portraits, animals, religious imagery, or landscapes

  • Emphasis on shadows, depth, and contrast

  • No use of color—only black ink diluted to various grey tones

  • Aesthetic: Bold, impactful, and visually rich—ideal for larger, statement tattoos that resemble black-and-white photography
