Realism tattoos are one of the most advanced and visually striking tattoo styles in the world. They capture real-life images — faces, objects, animals, scenes, emotions — with incredible accuracy and depth. Realism tattoos focus on smooth gradients, shadows, highlights, textures, and fine detailing to create an artwork that looks almost like a photograph on the skin.

Amazing experience! So This is my first tattoo. I went with one nice concept and design in mind. On reaching to the studio the whole ball game changes.. Artist Kritika and Artist Vishal suggested even better options based on my requirements and need of a concept. I was little scared since it was my first tattoo, but they Prepared me so well and made me feel completely comfortable and strong enough. The studio is very unorthodox in approach, highly professional, super hygienic, and the staff is extreme friendly. It felt like a very familiar and welcoming environment. My whole experience is amazing and most importantly to say their Mentor Artist Sanket is the Key to hold this entire show with his expertise and hunger to serve his client's with best ..
