01 / SERVICES

01 / DESIGN TATTOO

Design tattoos

Pet portraits · Flowers · Illustration

Design tattoos are built around an image. From a pet’s expression to the texture of a flower, the details, scale and composition are shaped to suit the placement.

02 / LETTERING TATTOO

Lettering tattoos

Names · Dates · Phrases

Turn a meaningful name, date or phrase into a tattoo. Type style, spacing and line breaks shape its character, while placement determines how it reads on the body.

03 / RESTORATIVE TATTOO

Restorative tattoos (Medical)

Scar color blending · Areola pigmentation · Nail design

Pigment and shading can soften color differences on healed skin or suggest a shape. The image shows a nail design drawn onto the end of a shortened index finger.

04 / PERMANENT MAKEUP

Permanent makeup (PMU)

Brows · Eyeliner · Lips

Pigment can define brows, accent the lash line or add lip color. Shape and color are chosen with the natural features, skin tone and everyday makeup style in mind.

05 / SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION

Scalp micropigmentation (SMP)

Hairline · Crown · Scalp scar camouflage

Tiny dots resembling hair follicles can define a hairline or soften contrast at the crown and around healed scalp scars. Dot size and spacing are matched to the surrounding hair.

Styles

Tattoo styles	What does it look like?
Old School	Bold black outlines and vivid colors. Roses, swallows and daggers are classic motifs.
Neo-Traditional	Old-school outlines with richer colors, deeper shading and finer details.
New School	Cartoon-like proportions and bright, playful colors.
Realism	Photographic renderings of people, animals or objects, in color or black and gray.
Fine Line	Delicate, thin lines, often used for small flowers, miniature tattoos and handwriting.
Blackwork	Black ink creates strong contrast through solid fills, silhouettes and patterns.
Dotwork	Tiny dots build shading and texture, often in mandalas and geometric designs.
Geometric · Ornamental	Geometric work emphasizes shapes and symmetry, while ornamental work draws on motifs such as jewelry and lace.
Watercolor	Soft washes, bleeding edges and splashes evoke watercolor painting.
Traditional Japanese	Dragons, koi, waves and peonies are arranged in large compositions that follow the body.
Lettering	Words, names and dates take center stage, from handwritten scripts to bold Gothic type.
Illustrative	The artist’s drawing style stands out, whether it evokes sketches, comics or prints.

PMU styles	What does it look like?
Ombré Powder	A soft, powdery gradient with a lighter front that gradually becomes more defined toward the tail.
Microblading	Fine lines follow the natural direction of the brow hairs, using a handheld tool for a clearly defined, strand-by-strand look.
Machine Hairstrokes	Fine strokes made with a machine vary in width and direction to blend visually with the existing brow hairs.
Manual Brow Shading	Tiny dots placed by hand build a soft veil of color that gently fills the spaces between brow hairs.
Combo Brows	Hairstrokes and shading work together, keeping individual strands visible while adding depth to sparse areas.

SMP styles	What does it look like?
Dot Technique	Tiny dots mimic the look of hair follicles. Their size and spacing can define the hairline, add the appearance of density at the crown or part, or create a closely shaved look.
Hair-Stroke Technique	Short, fine lines suggest the direction of individual hairs. The technique can be used to shape the hairline or create a closely shaved look with visible hair direction.
Color Neutralization & Correction	Tonal adjustments can soften conspicuous blue or red hues from previous scalp pigmentation, with the aim of reducing contrast with the surrounding scalp and hair.
