Portrait work.
About the style
Likeness starts with the photo.
A portrait lives or dies by its reference. A clear, well-lit photo where the face is large and in focus gives the artist the information needed for likeness.
We match portrait work with an artist experienced in realism and show you relevant examples before you book, so you can feel confident.

Good to know
Portrait tattoo questions.
What makes a good photo for a portrait tattoo?
Use a sharp, high-resolution photo with the face large in the frame, clear lighting and no heavy filters. Send a few options if you have them.
Can you add a name or date to a portrait?
Yes. Many portraits include a name, a date or a short quote. Tell us the wording and the style of lettering you like.
How big does a portrait tattoo need to be?
Faces need room for detail, so portraits usually start around palm size. We will recommend a size that protects the likeness.
Can I see the artist’s portrait work first?
Yes, and you should. Ask us for relevant examples from the proposed artist before you confirm your booking.
