Black and grey that reads like a photograph

1/3

Realism is where this shop shows off

The black and grey coming out of Tatt 'Em Up runs from a photoreal lion staring off a forearm to an eagle mid-cry on a shoulder and a black widow crawling over a collarbone. The artists work from your reference and your ideas — the shop's whole pitch is transferring the image in your head straight to the needle — and the intricate shading and clean linework are built to age well, not just to photograph well on day one. Whether it's your first piece or the next chapter of a sleeve, black and grey is a house specialty.
