FAQ
Do I need a good reference photo?
Yes. Realism work depends heavily on reference quality. Blurry or low-resolution photos can limit what is possible.
Can realism tattoos be small?
Some can, but very detailed realism usually needs more space.
Is realism more expensive?
Often yes, because it can require more planning, detail and tattooing time.
