Discover Black & Grey Tattoo Artistry at Inked Tattoo Studios
Black and grey tattoos use diluted black ink to create a full spectrum of grayscale shading, producing depth, texture, and realism without the use of color. Known for their timeless aesthetic and subtle impact, this style is often used in portraiture, realism, lettering, and fine line work. The technique demands precision and restraint, resulting in pieces that age beautifully and feel refined on any skin tone.
