Photographic detail — portraits, animals, every texture.
Realism tattoos replicate the texture and dimension of a photograph. Artists working in this style spend significant time on portraits, eyes, fur, and other detail-heavy subjects. Realism placement matters — the style needs canvas size to render properly, so larger body areas like the back, thigh, or full sleeve typically work best.
