Realistic tattoos focus on creating lifelike images that closely resemble real objects, people, or scenes. They require a high level of detail and shading to achieve a three-dimensional effect. Unlike traditional or abstract styles, realistic tattoos aim to replicate reality as closely as possible.
The time it takes to complete a realistic tattoo can vary greatly depending on the size and complexity of the design. Smaller pieces might take a few hours, while larger, more detailed tattoos could require multiple sessions over several weeks. During your consultation, weโll provide a more accurate timeframe based on your specific design.
The pain level for a realistic tattoo is generally similar to other styles. However, because realistic tattoos often involve a lot of shading and fine detail work, the sessions might be longer, which can increase discomfort. We always make certain our clients are as comfortable as possible throughout the process.
Proper aftercare is essential for maintaining the quality of your realistic tattoo. Weโll provide detailed instructions, but generally, you should keep the tattoo clean and moisturized, avoid direct sunlight, and refrain from submerging it in water for extended periods. Following these steps will help guarantee your tattoo heals beautifully.
