SAN ANTONIO BLACK AND GRAY TATTOO FUN FACTS

  • Black and Gray Tattooing is Also Called Blackwork – Black and gray tattoos are also called blackwork because they often consist solely of line work and/or dot work done in shades of gray. Blackwork can be a misnomer because sometimes we also blend in some color in our designs. After all, we became the best black and gray tattoo artist in San Antonio TX by thinking outside of the box!
  • A Remarkable History – The history of the black and gray style of tattooing goes back to the early days of tattooing. Artists didn't have access to dyes and pigments like we do today. Instead, they used soot or gunpowder and water to produce shades of gray on their clients' skin!
  • Why San Antonio Best Black and Gray Tattoo Artist Uses Single-Needles and Double-Needles – The shading in a black and gray tattoo can range from subtle to detailed and it can be a single- or double-needle shading technique.
