Tattoo Styles
Patch
Patch tattoos are designed to look like embroidered fabric patches stitched directly onto the skin. They often feature thick outlines, simulated thread texture, and shading techniques that create a raised, three-dimensional effect. This style is bold, playful, and highly visual, blending tattooing with textile-inspired design.
Patch Tattoos at Inked Studios
Patch tattoos are where ink meets texture. Designed to resemble stitched-on embroidery, these tattoos create the illusion of raised thread, woven detail, and sewn edges—all crafted with needle and ink instead of fabric. At Inked Studios, our artists bring this playful, high-contrast style to life with precision and creativity.
Patch tattoos often feature badges, icons, cartoon characters, or custom logos. The key is in the effect—these tattoos are meant to pop off the skin, using advanced shading and color layering to mimic the look of stitching and textile depth. The result is bold, clean, and visually unforgettable.
Our artists understand the techniques that make this illusion work. From sharp edge highlights to thread-like linework, each piece is carefully built to capture the embroidered look while maintaining clarity and integrity over time.
Whether you want to recreate a literal patch or design something entirely original in this style, we’ll collaborate with you to make it feel authentic and expressive. Patch tattoos are great as standalone pieces or as part of larger themed collections.
At Inked Studios, we focus on the details. From consultation to final session, you’ll work with artists who know how to deliver clean lines, balanced color, and texture that holds its shape and sharpness long-term.
Book your consultation and bring a new dimension of design to your tattoo collection with a piece that feels stitched with personality.
