Realism – Detailed, lifelike portraits, animals, and objects (e.g., the child portrait and realistic animals like tigers, sharks, and dolphins). Black and Grey – Extensive use of shading and black ink to create depth and realistic effects (e.g., skulls, spider webs, roses, and religious imagery). Traditional/Old School – Bold lines, bright colors, and iconic designs (e.g., the anchor tattoos, eagles, swallows, and classic American tattoos like skulls and roses). Neo-Traditional – A modern twist on the traditional style with more color variety and detailed shading (e.g., the more detailed floral and animal tattoos, mermaids, and the stylized reapers). Geometric and Mandala – Use of intricate geometric patterns and symmetry (e.g., flower of life patterns, mandala tattoos). Script and Lettering – Expertise in clean, readable script tattoos (e.g., quotes, names, and religious phrases). Dotwork – Tattoos made with tiny dots to create shading or geometric patterns (e.g., mandala patterns and some of the floral designs). Minimalism – Simple, clean designs with few elements (e.g., small animal tattoos, simple outlines of symbols like dolphins and hearts). Color Work – Proficiency in bright, vibrant colors (e.g., tropical landscapes, colorful roses, and cartoon characters). New School – Exaggerated and colorful cartoonish designs (e.g., Boba Fett, cartoon-style animals, and Mario). Floral Tattoos – Expertise in detailed flower tattoos with realistic or stylized designs (e.g., roses, hibiscus flowers, and other botanical elements). Symbolic/Religious Tattoos – Crosses, rosaries, and religious figures (e.g., the Virgin Mary, rosary beads, and crosses with intricate detailing).
