Are you confused? Let me give you a hand!

Nowdays there are many people who are doing Realistic Tattoos but as a client you are confused.
Which artist should i choose?
Who's the right one?

Every artist has his own unique style.
Some style/tattoos fits in your taste and some doesn't which is completely normal.
It doesn't mean that always an artist is better than another if you like his work/style more.

Microdetails FAQ

Is microdetailed realism more painful?

Well..it is a bit more painful than simple no detailed realism as the artist is working for longer time in the same area applying layer over layer in order to create the necessary details. (Like a canvas painting)

The more complex is the design the more it will hurt.

I believe in the end the microdetailed realism result is worth every second of pain.

Will my body keep all those microdetails?

The tattoo industry is moving so fast forward and the evolution is HUGE for the artists and for the clients aswell.

Back in the days we could only make lovehearts, stars and anchors on the skin but nowdays with the machine, ink & needle technology we are able to create more complex artwork in the skin.

If you follow the instructions given by Anko you should be able to heal and keep the most microdetails in your tattoos.

We don't know for sure how microdetail realism will look in 20 years from now but i've seen fully healed tattoos that i made after 4+ years and they look awesome.

Also a retouch is always good every 10 years on our tattoo.

Can a color tattoo heal as good as a black & grey one?

Yes the colors can heal the same as a black and grey artwork.

The vibrant colors are easier to get lost in our skin tone.

The lighter skin color we have the more visible will be the colors.
