Realism Tattoos in Kathmandu
Realism asks for patience from both artist and client. Detail takes time, and some pieces are built over more than one session.
Realistic tattoos only work when the reference is strong and the placement suits the level of detail.
We will tell you honestly if a reference is too low-resolution or a placement too small to carry the realism you have in mind.
What this involves
How it works
Animals
Fur, eyes and texture developed through controlled shading.
Objects
Still-life subjects and objects with surface texture and reflection.
Realistic shading
Values, edges and contrast combined so the image reads as three-dimensional.
Black & grey realism
Realistic work built entirely from black and grey ink.
Colour realism
Realism with colour, where the studio confirms it is a supported service.
