*There is a lot of crossover between the tattoo styles above. For example, a Horror tattoo can be done in Blackwork, Realism, Surrealism, et cetera. Meanwhile, a Fine Line tattoo is also considered Minimalism by some, and vice versa. In either case, the above list of all types of tattoo styles is based on a combination of how our tattoo artists define them, and how the public perceives them.
