Black & grey tattoos in Rome
No colour, no shortcuts: myth, skulls, angels, dragons and ornament, shaded with grey wash and dotwork.
Black & grey
Black & grey is the oldest language of tattooing and the one that ages most predictably: black pigment stays black while the grey around it settles. The studio builds these pieces with whip shading and dotwork, from small symbols to full sleeves.

Questions, answered
A manager replies within 10 minutes during opening hours.
Does black & grey turn blue or green?
Black pigment is the most stable in the skin; over the years it softens and can cool slightly, especially in thin lines. Sun protection and aftercare make most of the difference, and the studio plans extra contrast where the piece will fade first.
Do I need an appointment?
Custom work and larger pieces are by appointment. We also keep a limited number of walk-in spots every day, Monday to Saturday — first come, first served.
How much does a tattoo cost?
It depends on size, placement and detail. Send a request with your idea and we will give you an honest range before you commit to anything.
