Black and gray tattoos: between tradition and modernity

infosellipsetattoo

The black and gray style, often considered the epitome of sophistication in tattooing, offers a versatility that appeals to both lovers of realism and fans of traditional designs. Gerald , an artist at Ellipse Tattoo, excels in this subtle art where light and shadow meet to create pieces of unparalleled depth.




With his background in 3D sculpture, Gerald incorporates a unique artistic dimension into his black and gray tattoos. His portraits, whether of famous people, loved ones or even animals, are distinguished by their richness of detail and striking realism. But he doesn't stop there: his compositions also include religious motifs such as angels or crosses, nature scenes, or abstract designs playing with lines and textures.


For those in the know, black and grey tattoos offer a timeless appeal thanks to their understated style. Gerald uses a palette of inks ranging from deep black to pale grey, allowing for subtle contrasts and flawless gradations. The style is also loved for its ability to evolve over time, with the shading softening to give the pieces an even more elegant look. In addition, aftercare tips such as regular moisturising and sun protection ensure that these masterpieces retain their vibrancy and finesse.
