Portrait Tattoos

People & Pets

A portrait is about getting the likeness right — the texture of fur, the reflection in an eye, the look of someone you know.

• Pet Portraits — Dedicated realism for dogs, cats, and unique companions
• Icons & Pop Culture — High-contrast portraits of legends and figures

Single-Sitting Themed Sleeves

Full Panels in One Day

The thing I'm best known for. You give me the theme (Greek mythology, wildlife, horror); I design the sleeve. Full outer or inner arm/leg panels in one 8–10 hour day.

• You Choose the Theme — I design the whole sleeve and tattoo it
• Rule of Three — Bold, clear designs that can be finished in the time
• 8hr Arm / 10hr Leg — £600–£700 for a complete panel in one sitting

Black & Grey Realism

The Core Specialism

Everything here is black and grey realism — no colour, no flash. Deep blacks, clean highlights and detail that still reads from across a room and holds up close.

• Portraits, Wildlife & Mythology — the subjects realism suits best
• Contrast Over Clutter — designs built to stay readable as they age
• Healed Work Shown — judge it on how it settles, not how it looks fresh

Realism Cover-Ups

Old Tattoos, Covered

Turning a tattoo you hate into one you're proud of. Old tribal, faded or unwanted work covered with new black and grey realism, designed around what's underneath.

• Photos First — Send the tattoo and your idea; I'll tell you honestly what will cover
• Two Sittings — One to cover, one to add depth and fully disguise the old work
• 1.5–2x Fresh-Skin Time — Booked in personally, deposit by bank transfer
