Black and grey tattoos built around contrast

FAQ — Black and grey tattoo Montreal
What is a black and grey tattoo?
A black and grey tattoo uses black ink and grey wash to build depth, contrast and texture without color. It works well for portraits, animals, mythological subjects, religious imagery and large cinematic scenes.
