Which tattoo style is your favorite?

Realistic tattoo: These tattoos are known for their remarkable attention to detail, depicting portraits, natural motifs, or objects with lifelike accuracy.

Neotraditional tattoos: This style combines traditional techniques with modern elements, with clean lines and rich colors turning classic motifs into a contemporary design.

Graphic and geometric tattoos: Here, animals, objects or patterns are designed with precise geometric shapes and lines, creating fascinating, visually appealing works of art.

Lettering and fineline tattoos: These delicate tattoos showcase exquisite fonts or fine lines, which are often placed as personal quotes or minimalistic designs.

Polynesian tattoo: Inspired by Pacific Cultures, they use traditional patterns and symbols to represent stories, genealogies, or social standing.

Cover-up tattoos: These are used to cover up, change or improve old tattoos by using creative techniques to conceal unwanted designs and replace them with new works of art.
