This style has been mastered by Andrea Giulimondi of The Family Tattoo Business. Starting his career more than six years ago, he fell in love with very simple, rugged and traditional-style tattoos. He continues to develop his technique and is inspired by the city of London itself. @andreagiulimondi

 

Rebecca Vincent – Dot Work

Rebecca Vincent from Parliament Tattoo London specialises in this area using an illustrative style massively influenced by all things natural history. She is always developing her technique and working with amazing fellow artists who push her to become the best. @rebecca_vincent_tattoo

 

Edgar Ivanov – Realism

One of London’s artists who is your go-to for this style must be Edgar Ivanov from Old London Road Tattoos. After nine years of tattooing has a very developed and distinctive style, specialising in photo realistic black and grey tattooing. @edgarivanov

Nikole Lowe – Japanese/Oriental

Nikole Lowe, owner of Good Times Tattoo London, has been mastering this technique since 1991 when she began her incredible career. @nikole_lowe

 

 

Deno Jr – Surreal

tattoo artistsSurrealism is a style of tattooing in which the real is twisted and manipulated until it does not matter anymore. A tattoo art form that is dreamlike – and sometimes nightmarish – rather than realistic, it focuses on the use of bright colours and exaggerated dimensions and features.

Deno Jr, one of London’s leading tattoo artists based out of Seven Doors London Tattoo, is known in the tattoo world for his unique, surreal and stunning tattoo designs. @denotattoo
