Black and Grey Tattoos in Spokane

Black and grey gives you depth and contrast without color, and it holds up with less maintenance than anything else. It suits almost any subject, from portraits and florals to script, memorial pieces, and traditional work. Walk in and talk through what you're after.

Every Artist Here Works in Black and Grey

Black and grey isn't a specialty at this shop. It's the common ground. Everyone here works in it, each coming at it from a different direction, whether that's traditional, Japanese, fine line, or something else.

That's what makes the walk in work. Whatever style your idea belongs in, someone here can do it, and there's almost always an artist open.

WHAT BLACK AND GREY IS GOOD FOR

Just about anything, but it's especially good for work you want to last. Without color carrying it, the piece lives on line weight, black density, and contrast, which is the combination that ages best. It suits detailed subjects like portraits, realism, florals, and religious imagery, and clean black holds script and lettering better than anything else. Memorial pieces tend to want quiet rather than loud, and traditional and Japanese work were both built on strong black long before color entered the picture. Not sure whether your idea wants color? Bring it in and your artist will tell you which way it works better and why.
