Illustrative Tattoos: Bold Lines and Artistic Flair

Vinny’s illustrative tattoos are full of life and creativity. Known for his strong lines and intricate details, he brings artistic concepts to life on skin, whether it’s a stylized animal, a fantastical scene, or a portrait-style design. The beauty of illustrative tattooing lies in the freedom of expression, and Vinny uses his artistic eye to make each piece feel like a work of art—a vivid, detailed masterpiece.

Japanese Tattoos: Traditional Art Meets Bold Ink

With a deep respect for the rich history and symbolism of Japanese tattoos, Vinny specializes in creating stunning irezumi designs. His Japanese tattoos feature vibrant colours, bold outlines, and iconic imagery like dragons, koi fish, tigers, and cherry blossoms. These tattoos are more than just designs; they carry deep meaning and tradition. Whether you’re looking for a full back piece or a smaller design, Vinny’s expertise ensures that every Japanese tattoo is executed with precision and respect for the art form.
