Photographic tonal rendering with no outline at all. The most demanding style to execute and the one where the result depends most on who is holding the machine.

Make your own realism design

About these designs

This is a reference library, not a shop — nothing here is for sale and no tattoo can be ordered from this page. Take a design to a professional tattoo artist, who will adapt it to your body, your placement and their own hand. Meanings attached to motifs are cultural and vary between traditions; where a motif belongs to a living tradition, read about it before wearing it.
