1. What Are Realism Tattoos?

Realism tattoos, also known as photorealism tattoos, are designed to replicate real-life images with stunning accuracy. This tattoo style requires advanced shading techniques, precise fine lines, and an expert eye for detail.


With perfectly captured shadows, textures, and contours, realism tattoos can depict:

  • Portraits of loved ones, celebrities, or iconic figures.

  • Wildlife tattoos, featuring fierce lions, delicate birds, or majestic wolves.

  • Scenic landscapes, such as mountains, forests, or city skylines.

  • Fantasy realism, blending mythical creatures with hyper-realistic elements.


At Hammersmith Tattoo London, we excel in crafting hyper-detailed, photorealistic tattoos that look as real as a photograph.
