Black & gray realism tattoos in Orlando

Black and gray realism builds an image from black ink diluted into a range of grays, without color. Shading carries the depth, which suits portraits, religious and classical imagery, animals and larger connected pieces such as sleeves.

At Orlando Sharks Tattoo, Marco and Juan focus on this style. Marco’s portfolio leans toward portrait-led sleeves, dramatic shading and architectural scenes. Juan works in black and gray realism and neo-traditional tattooing, with portraits, dark shading and floral elements. Rody, Allan and Val also take black and gray pieces.

Bring a reference photo, the size you have in mind and where on the body the piece will go. Larger realism work can take more than one session, so ask the artist how they would plan yours.
