Who will tattoo you
Large realism pieces such as back pieces, sleeves and chest portraits are done by our large-scale artists Finn, Kai and Linker, who each have between 5 and more than 11 years of experience. Guest artist Cò Xám, known for large black & grey realism back pieces, works at the studio on limited dates. In the consultation we choose the artist whose portfolio best fits your portrait.
What we tattoo
- Pet portraits of dogs and cats, including memorial pieces
- Portraits of family members, partners and children
- Animal realism: tigers, lions, leopards, wolves
- Statues, goddesses and figures from mythology and history
- Black & grey or full color
A good portrait starts with a good photo
A realistic portrait can only be as good as the photo it comes from. Choose a sharp, well-lit photo where the face is large, the eyes are clear and nothing covers the features. Send several photos if you can, and we will tell you which one works best.
Size matters too, because fine facial detail needs room. In the consultation we suggest a size and placement that keep the portrait easy to read.
