Styles

Frankie specializes in 2 styles of tattooing:

Fine Line and MonoChromatic Black & Grey Realism

Listed below you’ll find the definitions of each and the vibes they give off!


MonoChromatic Black & Grey Realism

  • 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

Fine Line

  • Style Focus: Minimalism, elegance, and precision.

  • Needle Use: Uses single needle or very small groupings (like 3RL or smaller) for ultra-thin, delicate lines.

  • Design Characteristics: Clean, subtle lines

  • Often used for minimal tattoos, florals, script, micro portraits, or geometric shapes

  • May have little to no shading

  • Aesthetic: Light, airy, understated—ideal for subtle body art with intricate detail.
