How Our Process Works

Each black and gray tattoo session follows a structured approach that prioritizes both artistic quality and your comfort throughout the process.

A medium sized tattoo can take 2-4 hours,  while larger tattoos can take up to 6-8 hours. Larger or more complex pieces may require multiple sessions.

What makes black and gray different from other tattoo styles?

This technique relies entirely on black ink dilution and needle depth variation to create realistic depth and contrast without color.

Can you add color to a black and gray tattoo later?

Yes, strategic color additions work well with existing black and gray foundations. Kurt can plan designs with future color expansion in mind.

What subjects work best for black and gray style?

Portraits, realistic nature scenes, geometric patterns, and fine line work all benefit from the subtle contrast this technique provides.
