Tattoos are more than just ink on the skin—they're an expression of identity, a piece of art that you carry with you for life. Choosing the right tattoo style can be overwhelming with so many options available. Our talented artists specialise in a wide range of styles to help you find the best style and design that resonates with you.
What Are Tattoo Styles?
At Joya Tattoo Collective, we explore various tattoo styles that reflect evolving trends. From the bold lines of traditional styles like neo-traditional and Japanese to the delicate precision of fine-line tattoos, our artists master both restricted and vibrant colour palettes. Recently, customised designs that transform personal art into meaningful tattoos have gained popularity, and we excel in these unique creations.
Commercial vs. Specialised Tattoos
Commercial tattoos include simpler designs such as symbols, lettering, and small motifs like hearts or celestial line work, ideal for those seeking straightforward yet impactful tattoos. On the other hand, Specialised tattoos, like realism, watercolour, and fine line, require advanced skills and artistic sensitivity. These intricate styles are crafted by our specialised artists, ensuring each tattoo is a bespoke piece of art.
Versatile Joya's Artists
Our diverse team of artists is skilled in various styles, and ready to bring any vision to life, whether you prefer a classic or a contemporary design. At Joya Tattoo Collective, we ensure your tattoo not only looks stunning but resonates deeply with your personal style.
Realism
Realism tattoos are designed to look as lifelike as possible. This style often features portraits, animals, and nature scenes with intricate details and shading to mimic a photograph. Realism requires a high level of skill to achieve the depth and texture that makes the image appear real.
Watercolour
Watercolour tattoos replicate the look of watercolour paintings, with vibrant colours that appear to blend and splash on the skin. This style is perfect for those who want a soft, artistic touch to their tattoo. It's a challenging style that requires a keen eye for colour and fluidity.
Fine Line
Fine line tattoos are characterised by their precision and delicate lines. This style is highly popular for its subtlety and elegance, making it ideal for detailed designs like florals, minimalistic symbols, and intricate patterns.
Blackwork
Blackwork tattoos use bold black ink to create striking, graphic designs. This style includes anything from geometric shapes to intricate patterns, and it's known for its high contrast and impactful visuals.
Neo-Traditional
Neo-traditional tattoos are a modern take on the classic traditional style. They feature bold outlines and vivid colours but incorporate more depth, shading, and a broader range of motifs, often blending traditional and modern elements.
Engraving
Engraving tattoos mimic the look of old etchings and prints. They are typically black and white and use fine lines to create the illusion of texture and depth, giving the appearance of an antique illustration.
Sketch
Sketch tattoos look like rough sketches or unfinished drawings, with lines that resemble pencil or pen strokes. This style is great for those who appreciate a more raw and artistic look.
