The origins of black and grey realism tattoos began during the Chicano culture in East LA.
Other names for this style are ‘jailhouse’ or ‘joint style’.
The technique of realism or photo-realism, requires an artist to take inspiration of a 3D realistic image and create artwork that displays the same accurate detail that a real-life photograph would illustrate.
France began the artistic development of realistic artwork in the 1850’s, depicting very minimalistic designs, which developed into broad-scale artwork.
Our artists here at Victims of Ink have a certain knack for black and grey designs:
