FAQs – Portrait Tattoos

  • Can I get more than one portrait in a single tattoo?

    Yes. Many clients choose multiple faces for a family piece or pet montage. We’ll help arrange them tastefully.

  • Do you need a high-quality photo?

    Yes. The better the photo, the more accurate the tattoo. Lighting, contrast, and expression are key.

  • Are portraits only done in black and grey?

    Black and grey is most popular for realism, but we also do full-color portraits depending on your preference.

  • Can you fix or redo a poorly done portrait?

    In many cases, yes. Brent specializes in cover-ups and reworks. We’ll evaluate the existing piece during your consultation.
