Realism

Image-led work. Adapted for skin.

Realism tattoos recreate the detail and tonal range of a reference photograph, adapted to the constraints of tattooing and the physical context of the chosen placement.

01

Source image requirements

High-resolution reference photographs with clear contrast and lighting produce the best results. Source quality directly affects how faithfully a realism piece can be reproduced in ink.

02

Scale and session planning

Realism demands a minimum scale to render detail faithfully. Complex compositions may require multiple sessions. Feasibility and session planning are assessed during consultation.

03

Book a consultation

Share your reference image, intended placement, and approximate dimensions. We assess the source material and placement before confirming whether the project is well suited to this approach.
