Realistic Skull Octopus

Skull Octopus black and grey tattoo
Realistic, black and grey, skull and octopus, fantasy tattoo. I love doing large tattoos, so when I get requested large pieces, I’m sure to look after the client as much as I can, as I understand it takes a lot of dedication from the client to come back, take a day off, save up, stick through out the process. So, I was grateful when Carl walked in the studio, he is such a cool dude, and made the process really fun. Thank you Carl.

Black and grey realistic eye
I have been tattooing Preet for a few years now. She likes to get realism tattoos done in black and grey, so I look forward to see her. She requested a realistic eye tattoo with a vinyl spinning to represent her love for music. I also draw realism to learn about shadows, when you draw a realistic image, you can understand better how shadows fall on the subject. Thank you
Colour Tattoo full sleeve by Louis Santos
Lotus flower, Coy Carp, and Hanya mask. Complete colour full sleeve on Andy, when I see Andy’s name in my calendar it makes me happy, as I look forward not only to tattoo him, but to spend time to see him as well. I love tattooing flowers and roses, it’s really fun to do. Thank you Andy for all these years of faith in the process.
Thor Marvel digital painting
I have heard there’s a new Thor movie coming out, and I can’t wait to check it out. Marvel is closer to my heart, as they were the reason I became an artist. If it wasn’t for Stan Lee’s creativity. I wouldn’t be a tattoo artist today. When I was a kid I was obsessed with buying comics. And that’s all we had, however it was good, because comics, they develop your imagination, they make you wonder that scene you are reading about, where when you watch a movie, they create all the imagination for you.
Lotus Flower Tattoo by Louis
I have been Tattooing Andy for around 5 years now. First we worked on a big dragon on his front, as his first tattoo, he was awesome all the way through, we needed a lot of patience, as the front is quiet sensitive, so we had to do small sessions. However me and Andy got on so well, that those small sessions just flew by. After that, Andy asked me to get his full sleeve tattoo, he requested a full sleeve with a coy and a lotus flower around it. Tattooing Andy is an experience to remember, as we talk about deep stuff, he’s really open minded about anything I say, and that makes me at ease to work with him. Thank you Andy, you are the best.
Realistic Lion Tattoo
Black and grey is a style that I always love to do, however I like to draw black and grey too, in order to understand shadow and being art focused outside of tattooing, it allows you to improve your tattooing. So drawing and painting, it allows you to take your tattoos further than just the reference, you can give more to your clients and something more unique if you are able to draw and paint. I always have fun tattooing lions, it’s always fun as they look so different in their expressions in every image, I’m happy to take realistic requests wit lions ad wild life, thank you for looking.
Cover-up, Free Hand realistic rose by Louis Santos
I love doing roses. I have been tattooing James over 10 years, and he has been a really nice and easy guy to work with. As I have known him for so long, I felt really comfortable to free hand it. This time he had a tribal dragon on his arm, and made the request to cover it up, with realistic roses. It took 2 sessions on total, however we focus on the end result, instead of how long it will take or how much it will cost, we can get around all that. And the experience has been great as always. I really appreciate clients who have been coming to get tattooed for so long, the positives of getting tattooed by one person is that everything flows really nice. Thank you
Phoenix full back tattoo by Louis Santos
Hi guys, thanks for visiting this space. I’m always going to try to keep this site updated, as this is more of my personal site, I enjoy posting here, so I hope everyone has had a good weekend like I had. In this post I would like to mention about Martins full back Phoenix Tattoo. I used to do a lot of black and grey tattoos, and I still love to do them, however I enjoy colour tattoo a lot too, it takes a bit longer, however you have more of a variety of tones and more space to play in the playground basically. Tattooing Martin, is an experience to remember. I had previously done him a full sleeve, a few years ago, we became friends, and I really look forward to see him, he’s a mega genuine guy, we can talk about anything and have a laugh, and that’s amazing, when you are spending a full day with someone. Thank you for looking, and I’m happy to take any realism requests with Phoenixes, roses, lily and lotus flowers, warriors and fantasy stuff. Stay safe
