Discover Outliers Ink tattoo studio specialising in Black and grey tattoo. Black and grey tattoo styles are a mix of shading methods and creative styles that add dimension and lifelike quality. Popular varieties feature realism for photorealistic portraits and landscapes, micro realism for small but detailed pieces, and fine-line for subtle, minimalist elements.
Black and grey tattoos offer timeless appeal with their elegant simplicity and longevity. They age well with good contrast. They’re versatile, complementing all skin tones and creating good depth through shading techniques. These tattoos blend naturally with your skin while delivering realistic 3D effects using only black ink variations.

Have you tried our tattoo butter? 100% natural, made by us, for us. Pick one up in store or purchase one online.
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.
So we created Outliers Ink, a tattoo and piercing studio that is the place for everyone to get their dream tattoo without worrying whether they will be told their skin will be an issue. Leave it to us. The home of the best Birmingham tattoo artists. Have you booked yours yet?

All tattoos will take at least 2 weeks to heal at the surface level.
