Blackwork Tattoos

Blackwork Tattoos: The Art of Bold Ink at outliers ink tattoo studio

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.

BLACKWORK TATTOO FAQ's

Absolutely and this question deserves its own section WE HAVE GOT YOU COVERED. When we talk about inclusivity this is exactly one of the key points that we know is sadly still massively underrepresented in the tattoo industry.

We are experts in tattooing all skin tones: black and brown skin in all shades. We constantly have clients who come to us who were told that the tattoo they wanted couldn’t be done on their skin tone. This includes colour tattoos on black skin. The thing is, your skin tone is not the issue, the artist’s skill set is. Like hair shops we believe you should be able to walk into a tattoo shop in Birmingham and receive the best work not just locally but in the country regardless of your age or skin tone.
