While the term “color realism” is self-explanatory, allow us to clarify what it is to ensure that you’re indeed looking for the right tattoo artist for your upcoming piece. A “realism” tattoo is one where the tattoo is essentially identical to the photograph of the subject that was brought into the tattooist for reference. If a client brings in a photo for a memorial portrait tattoo of their dog, the end result damn well better look like the dog, complete with the physical idiosyncrasies that make him/her special. Meanwhile, the “color” part is exactly that; a realism tattoo with color. It’s the latter that throws some tattooists for a loop. Color adds a whole other element to the process, where even small issues cannot be hidden by shading and darkening of lines. Or at least not as effectively so as with black and grey. In other words, color realism tattoos are risky business for any artist who does not have a lot of experience in years and/or number of pieces completed. This excludes a large number of tattoo shops and local artists from the equation here in Greater Vancouver where demand for quality tattooists has risen with the demand for quality tattoos. The good thing, is that your online search for “color realism tattoo artist near me” has landed you here at Adrenaline VanCity.
