Tattoo Style
Black & Grey
Timeless. Holds up better than color over the long haul.

Black and grey tattoos use only black ink, with varying shades achieved through dilution and shading. The softer gradients create a timeless aesthetic that works across everything from photorealistic portraits to traditional imagery.
Clients gravitate toward this style because it ages well — generally better than color tattoos over decades — and adds depth and contrast to almost any design.
All Solana artists work in black and grey. Examples from our portfolio range from skulls and skeletons to florals and clean linework.
