FAQ

Do black and grey tattoos age well?

They can age very well when they have enough contrast and are not overloaded with tiny detail.

Are black and grey tattoos cheaper than colour?

Not always. Price depends on size, detail and time, not only whether colour is used.

Can black and grey work for a sleeve?

Yes. It is one of the strongest styles for sleeve projects because it can connect multiple subjects through shading and flow.
