If you are into bold and heavy designs you will love blackwork tattoos. What do we love about it? The strategic use of negative space and black ink creates high contrast works of art.
Blackwork tattoos have a rich history. The first tattoos ever made would be considered Blackwork tattoos, as would Polynesian designs and the popular tribal styles that followed. Nowadays there’s a number of styles that fall into that category like Geometric, Ornamental, Dotwork, Manga and Anime, Comic and Cartoon, Etching, Dark art and Graphic art. If Blackwork tattoos in Birmingham is what you are after you are in luck with it being one of Sheine, our lead artists, favourite styles to tattoo. Call us or pop by our tattoo studio in Birmingham to discuss your next tattoo.
