Black and grey might be the most popular tattoo style out there today – and for good reason.
- No colour
- Minimal outlines
- Extensive shading and gradients
- Varied subjects
Black and Grey Style tattoos utilize varying shades of black which is then distilled with water to create multiple contrasting tones. White ink is sometimes incorporated in order to dilute down any heavy blacks or add finishing touches to a piece.
Black and grey can incorporate any subject matter, from portraits, scenery and flowers right up to surrealist or abstract pieces. Black and grey pieces usually employ an element of 3D to give a further sense of depth and dimension.
This style can create classic, elegant pieces of art across a wide range of subjects, all of which will age incredibly well.
