Micro realism

Micro realism takes the best of realistic tattoos and makes it smaller, more subtle. No large pieces with background shading, but concentrated details in a compact format. The result: a lifelike image that does not take up your entire arm.

This style demands a steady hand and an eye for detail. Everything must be right within a small area, from lighting to proportions. There is no room for errors or sloppiness. That is why experience with this technique is essential.

Popular subjects include pet portraits, small animals, flowers, and personal objects. Without a background, the focus is entirely on the subject itself. That makes it intimate and personal.

Micro realism is ideal if you want a meaningful tattoo that does not immediately stand out. Subtle but with depth. Curious? Check our portfolio or send us your idea.
