What Makes Black and Grey Tattoos So Timeless?
As the famous saying goes, once you go black, you never go back. And that definitely applies to tattoos. Here are just some of the many reasons why we see a constant influx of clients clambering to get through the doors of our black and grey tattoo studio.
Longevity
Our artists use carbon-based black ink for our black and grey tattoos, meaning they can last up to 15 years or more without significant touch-ups. This allows you to rep your body art loud and proud for a long time.
Versatility
From a realistic portrait of your beloved dog to adding bold lines to an existing colour tattoo, black and grey tones are versatile mediums that effectively convey depth and dimension.
When you work with black and grey tattoo artists who accurately understand how to vary light and shadow to create depth (like us!), you get detailed and realistic works of art that you’ll be proud to show off.
Aesthetics
Known for its striking contrast against skin tones of all shades, black and grey are more forgiving than colour tattoos and show up well. They also provide a more understated and sophisticated look compared to colourful designs, perfect for individuals with a more neutral palette or a propensity for leaning towards the colour black.

Frequently Asked Questions About Black and Grey Tattoos
Does a black and grey tattoo cost less?
Generally, yes. While black and grey tattoo artists use less ink and time, the cost of your tattoo also depends on factors like its size and complexity. When you hit up our black and grey tattoo studio for a consultation, we can estimate the costs more accurately.
How well do black and grey tattoos age?
Pretty well, actually. The shading techniques used in black-and-grey work can create a timeless appeal, and your tattoo can become more integrated with the skin over time while still retaining its distinctiveness.
Unfortunately, the only permanent fact of life is the impermanence of it, and the fading of tattoos is an undeniable state that will always come to pass. When that happens, visit our black and grey tattoo artists, who would love nothing more than to give you a touch-up on the house! (and potentially coerce you into getting something new while you’re here).
How do I choose between colour and black and grey tattoos?
It all depends on your desired design and personal preferences. Some people see colour tattoos as more modern or vibrant, while black and grey are more traditional.
