Colour

Each Piece A True Masterpiece.

Colour realism brings tattoos to life with vibrant hues and stunning detail. At Heartless Ink, our artists use reference photos to capture the full spectrum of colours in lifelike portraits, animals, and nature scenes. This style requires a deep understanding of colour theory, shading, and blending to create tattoos that look almost like paintings on skin. The richness and depth of the colours ensure that every piece feels vivid and dynamic. Perfect for clients who want their tattoos to stand out, colour realism offers an eye-catching way to transform your vision into a living masterpiece.

After graduating with a Master’s degree in Ancient Philosophy, I decided that I preferred creating beautiful things over writing about other people’s achievements, and so I began

my studies in classical painting. Since then, I have dedicated myself to realizing my ambitions as a painter in the tradition of old masters such as Rembrandt and Caravaggio.

I approach tattooing with the training of a classical painter adapted to the unique demands of creating images on skin. My training in drawing composition and anatomy allows me to craft designs that flow with the human body. My precision and control with each line has been honed through thousands of hours working on paper, canvas, and now skin. My eye is attuned to value, contrast, focus—all aspects that contribute to a harmonious and beautiful tattoo. But most of all, I love having the privilege of applying my skills in a way that brings joy to other people.
