Black & Grey Tattoos in Kathmandu
Black and grey relies on gradation rather than colour. The skill is in the range between the darkest black and the lightest skin.
A strong black and grey tattoo reads clearly from a distance and still holds detail up close.
We look at how the design will settle into the skin, so shading stays smooth as it heals rather than turning flat or muddy.
What this involves
How it works
Shading
Smooth transitions built with controlled technique and the right needles for the area.
Depth
Light and shadow create the sense that a design sits inside the skin rather than on top of it.
Tonal range
Mid-tones do most of the work. We plan them before the session, not during it.
