Black & Grey Realism Portfolio

Every piece here is consultation only work: no walk ins, no copies and no generic flash, apart from my own one off large scale designs, each tattooed only once. This is a selection of black and grey realism tattoos completed over 20 years, now from a private studio in East Kilbride, near Glasgow, including healed photos so you can see how the work actually ages. If a piece speaks to you, it's the standard you can expect from a Foundation, GRP or Master Commission project. Looking specifically for portrait work? See more on the realism portrait tattoos page.

One Project, Start to Finish

From Fresh Stencil to Fully Healed

A GRP large scale piece starts with a stencil placement, agreed before a single line goes in. Drag the slider to see this leg piece go from stencil to the finished, healed result. See more on how these projects are planned on the large scale tattoos guide.
